? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?{{B}}Stress Level Tied to Education Level{{/B}}
? ?People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
? ?However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.
? ?From this researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.
? ?The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 per cent of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 per cent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 per cent of the time.
? ?"Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health." lead researcher Dr. Joseph Grzywacz, of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. "The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors. And the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged."
? ?Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.
? ?"If something happens every day, maybe it’s not seen as a stressor," Grzywacz says. "Maybe it is just life."
? ?stressful adj. 紧张的;压力重的
? ?diploma n. 毕业文凭,毕业证书
? ?stressor n. 紧张刺激物
? ?devastating adj. 毁灭性的
? ?follow-up n. (对病人的)随访

A:the impact of stress on their health is B:the effect of education on their health is C:the level of their education is D:the degree of their health concern is

? ? ? ? ?{{B}}New Foods and the New World{{/B}}
? ?In the last 500 years, nothing about people—not their clothes, ideas, or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree (可可树) by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
? ?The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine (饥荒)" of 1845—1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.
? ?There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.
? ?According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake" feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.
According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?

A:Food. B:Clothing. C:Ideology. D:Language;

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? {{B}}Mother Knows the Best?{{/B}}
? ?Once while being prepped for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers. I made the point that one reason we’re seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that it’s no longer a given that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.
? ?At that point, one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough for my benefit, "It should be the better parent who stays home." A lot .of guys say things like that. Usually it’s code for, "My wife (read: any woman) is the better parent."
? ?I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so his declaration made me bristle. It implied that our family’s choice could only have been correct if I was a "better" parent than my wife.
? ?I think men shoot themselves in the foot with this kind of thinking. I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the "better" parent: She had spent more time with Ry, could read him better and calm him more quickly. And given a choice, he’d have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable one, my wife went out to work and looked after our son.
? ?Know what? I caught up. Because of the increased time I spent with him. I soon knew Ry well, understood what he needed and could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the world’s great secrets: Women are good at looking after children because they do it. It’s not because of any innate female aptitude or a mother’s instinct— which I think is mostly learned anyway. It’s because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.
? ?Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing. But over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I don’t know. Who cares? Children are not made of glass, other people ale capable of looking after them besides Mom.
Which of the following does the first paragraph imply?

A:Men are no longer given the opportunity to stay at home. B:In more and more families the wife is earning more than the husband. C:The author works at a TV station. D:More and more men choose to stay at home to look after their children.
