ingredients(成分) in the meal, it is still up for debate.chicken soup: just the evidencescience_has_begun_to_support_what_mothers_have_understood_for_centuries. the heat, salt, and hydration provided by chicken soup may actually fight the cold virus. laboratory studies have shown that ingredients of chicken soup with vegetables could kill viral cells and prevent the growth of new ones. the soup may also provide an antiinflammatory (消炎的) effect that helps reduce cold symptoms. unfortunately, the benefits of chicken soup appear to be limited by how quickly the soup leaves the body. there is no indication that chicken soup would help in the prevention of colds, but its use as a remedy for symptoms is common. it is largely a safe remedy with no ill side effects, and scientific evidence points more in favor of its coldfighting properties(特性) than against it.the downside of chicken soupevidence in support of chicken soups antiviral properties is not yet solid enough to prove true, reliable medicinal effects. although the evidence based on personal experiences and existing research seem to support a good effect of chicken soup, a clinical trial would be very difficult to perform. in addition, some people with food allergies (过敏性反应) or sensitivities to salt may experience ill side effects from chicken soup. unbroken bones may also lead to a choking risk，particularly for children.

perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.in fact, its likely some of these things have already happened to you. who would watch you without your permission? it might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen - the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that its important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times.but few boundaries remain. the digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. in some cases, a simple google search can reveal what you think. like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.the key question is: does that matter?for many americans, the answer apparently is “no.”when opinion polls ask americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. a survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”but people say one thing and do another. only a tiny fraction of americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the ez-pass system that can track automobile movements. and few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. privacy economist alessandro acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like social security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠卷).but privacy does matter - at least sometimes. its like health: when you have it, you dont notice it. only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.71.what does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked” (para. 2)?a. people tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.b. in the 21st century people try every means to look into others secrets.c. peoples personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.d. criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.72.what would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?a. friends should open their hearts to each other.b. there should be a distance even between friends.c. friends should always be faithful to each other.d. there should be fewer disputes between friends.73.why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret” ( para. 3)?a. people leave traces around when using modern technology.b. modern society has finally evolved into an open society.c. there are always people who are curious about others affairs.d.many search engines profit by revealing peoples identities.74.what do most americans do with regard to privacy protection?a. they change behaviors that might disclose their identity.b. they use various loyalty cards for business transactions.c. they talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.d. they rely most and more on electronic devices. 75. according to the passage, privacy is like health in that .a. people will make every effort to keep itb. its importance is rarely understoodc. it is something that can easily be lostd. people dont cherish it until they lose it【参考答案】7175、cbacd【浙江省金华十校2014高考英语模拟试题】c most parents of kids under age 8

university, told usa today she led a survey of 2,326 parents who have children 8 and youngerit found that in 80 percent of families, childrens media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too or“ not at all concerned about it it also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how media consumption affects a childs learning and the development of creativitythe exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than tv, computers or mobile devices“parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on childrens school performance, attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium, the researchers said in a news conference about the survey the findings exposes a generational shift （转移） in parental attitudes about technologys role in young childrens lives, said wartella“todays parents grew up with technology as a central pact of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents, instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair the researchers identified three media environments created by parents: media-centric （39 percent of families） , media-moderate （45%）and media-light （16%） children in media-centric families spend at least three hours more each day watching tv or using computers, video games and tablet pcs dont make parenting easierand 88 percent of parents say they are most likely to turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupiedslightly fewer turn to books （79%） and tv（78%） the survey didnt look at how media affects children thats a topic that the american academy of pediatrics has handled a number of times the aap says studies have found too much media use

high-quality content it is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies and using their imaginations in free play“ kids under 2 should not use television and other entertainment media because their brains are developing quickly and they learn best from direct human interaction, the group says an article on screen time by the mayo clinic also notes problems linked to over screen time, including being fat, irregular sleep , behavioral problems , weak school performance , violence and less time for active and creative play50parents have more negative than positive

my hair when i got to university, i believed my hair was a wall that stood between me and everything-finding a part-time job, getting a boyfriend, etc if only i could find a way to manage the curls and put it behind bars, i told myself, i would feel secure and sexyi tried everything: rollers, hairspray, gels and, at one point, an ironthen, in my second year, a miracle happenedi was asked to be a hair model for japanese hair straightening, a process by which the molecules（分子）of my curls would be broken and reset in a bone-straight positioni was the perfect candidate, the hairdresser told me although they said how hair relaxing could damage the :scalp （头皮）,for the next five years i didnt find them to be true all of the hairdressers promises were fulfilled: with my hair straight and smooth, i was no longer the mop however, there was extreme damage done to my wallet to keep up the straightening cost $ 700 every six months, and that was considered cheapwhile some people thought i
