{{B}}Breastfeeding Can Cut Cardiovascular (心血管的) Risk{{/B}}
?
?Breastfeeding can reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke later in
life and could prevent hundreds of{{U}} ?(51) ?{{/U}}of deaths each year,
researchers said on Friday.
? ?Babies who are breastfed have fewer
childhood infections and allergies (过敏) and are less{{U}} ?(52) ?{{/U}}to
obesity (肥胖). British scientists have now shown that breastfeeding and slow
growth in the first weeks and months of life has a protective effect{{U}}
?(53) ?{{/U}}cardiovascular disease.
? ?"Diets that promote
more rapid growth put babies at risk many years later in{{U}} ?(54)
?{{/U}}of raising their blood pressure, raising their cholesterol (胆固醇) and
increasing their tendency to diabetes (糖尿病) and obesity —the{{U}} ?(55)
?{{/U}}main risk factors for stroke and heart attack," said Professor Alan
Lucas of the Institute of Child Health in London.
? ?"Our evidence
suggests that the reason why breast-fed babies do better is because they grow
more{{U}} ?(56) ?{{/U}}in the early weeks. "
? ?Lucas said
the effects of breastfeeding on blood pressure and cholesterol later in life are
greater than{{U}} ?(57) ?{{/U}}adults can do to control the risk factors
for cardiovascular disease, other than taking drugs.
? ?An
estimated 17 million people die of{{U}} ?(58) ?{{/U}}disease, particularly
heart attack and strokes, each year, according to the World Health
Organization.
? ?Lucas and his colleagues compared the health of
216 teenagers{{U}} ?(59) ?{{/U}}as babies had either been breastfed or
given different nutritional baby formulas. They reported their{{U}} ?(60)
?{{/U}}in The Lancet medical journal.
? ?The teenagers who had
been{{U}} ?(61) ?{{/U}}had a 14-percent lower ratio of bad to good
cholesterol and lower concentrations of a protein that is a marker for
cardiovascular disease risk.
? ?The researchers also found that,
{{U}}?(62) ?{{/U}}of the child’s weight at birth, the faster the infants
grew in the early weeks and months of life, the{{U}} ?(63) ?{{/U}}was
their later risk of heart disease and stroke. The effect was the{{U}} ?(64)
?{{/U}}for both boys and girls.
? ?"The more human milk you
have in the newborn period, the lower your cholesterol level is, the lower your
blood pressure is 16 years{{U}} ?(65) ?{{/U}}," Lucas

The Changing Middle Class
The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation. However，middle class is not a real designation，nor does it carry privileges(特权). It is more of a perception，which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War II. The economy was growing，more and more people owned their own homes，workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them，and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one. Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They may have started out poor，but they could become rich. Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility. In other words，they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.
The middle class collectively holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one’s own economic fate. In addition, middle-class morality(道德观) embraces principles of individual responsibility, importance of family, obligations to others，and believing in something outside oneself.
But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. A U. S. News & World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet . Both spouses now worked, as did some of the children; long commutes became routine; the need for child care put strains on the family; and public schools were not as good as they once were. Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.
In the second paragraph, the word "collectively’ means
A:hesitatingly. B:unknowingly. C:weakly. D:commonly.
