understanding seeing others in troubled. protecting oneself from being hurt b “children who eat less salt and drink fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks may significantly lower their risks of obesity,” researchers recently reported in the journal hypertension.“sugar-sweetened soft drinks are a significant source of calorie intake in children,” said feng j. he, a researcher at st georges university of london, england. “it has been shown that sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption is related to obesity in young people.” they wanted to know whether there is a link between salt intake and sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption.dr he and colleagues analyzed data from a 1997 national survey of more than 2,000 people between 4 and 18 in britain. “we found that children eating a lower-salt diet drank less fluid,” said he. “from our research, we estimated that 1 gram of salt cut from their daily diet would reduce fluid intake by 100 grams per day.”the researchers also found that children eating a lower-salt diet drank fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks. from their research, they predicted that reducing salt intake by 1 gram each day would reduce sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption by 27 grams per day, after. “if children aged 4 to 18 cut their salt intake by half, there would be a decrease of about two sugar-sweetened soft drinks per week per child, so each child would decrease calorie intake by almost 250 kilocalories per week,” dr he said.in previous studies, researchers found that a low-salt diet lowers blood pressure in children, and prevents the development of high blood pressure later in life. “both high blood pressure and obesity increase the risk of having strokes and heart attacks,” dr he said.dr he recommends that parents check labels and choose low-salt food products. “small reductions in the salt content of 10 to 20 percent cannot be detected by the human salt taste receptors (感受器) and do not cause any technological or safety problems,” dr he said.40. according to the passage, obesity is directly linked to _.a. high-salt foodsb. sugar-sweetened soft drinksc. high blood pressured. strokes and heart attacks41. compared with previous studies, the recent one found that _.a. a lower-salt diet may mean less sugar-sweetened soft drink consumptionb. a low-salt diet keeps children out of high blood pressurec. children face the risk of having strokes and heart attacksd. low-salt food products do not do harm to peoples health42. which of the following statements would dr he agree to?a. the less salt people eat, the healthier people become.b. children should reduce fluid intake in their daily life.c. no high-salt food products will be available in shops.d. a low-salt diet may prevent both high blood pressure and obesity.43. after reading the passage, who should take effective action?a. children. b. parents. c. doctors. d. researchers. c the small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in asia.when people talk about it，you can hear a word invented in japan，“dinks”，which means double income no kids(小孩).in many major asian cities like seoul，singapore，and tokyo，the cost of a house is extremely high.a young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $300,000(though prices have fallen).for a flat with one bedroom，one dining-room，a kitchen，and a bathroom，the couple will pay about $900 a month.whats more，if they want to have a child，the childs education is very expensive. for example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5,000 a year.in such a situation，its difficult to afford children.the number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. however，if they want to have children，they immediately have serious problems. though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby，they expect women with babies to give up their jobs.in short，if they want to bring up children properly，both parents have to work，but it is hard for mothers to work.indeed，women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.in a word，asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.44.what is the main problem being discussed in the passage?a.the small number of newborn babies.b.the changing social situation of women.c.the high prices of houses and education.d.the necessary steps of asian governments.45.according to the passage，which of the following is true?a.it is easy for a couple to afford a child in asia.b.the prices of houses in asia are quite low now.c.fewer and fewer married women want to have a job.d.the word“dinks”first appeared in an asian country.46.to buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten，how much will a couple pay each year? a.$5,000. b.$5,900. c.$10,800. d.$15,800.47.the writer seems to believe that asian governments should_.a.let women stay at home and have a babyb.allow only one of the parents to go out to workc.care for the growing needs of women for jobsd.punish the companies that permit women to
