33、oliday in the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him in China, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather's small church in Chicago. Grandpa and his family sat among the audience.“But most of all," he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent

34、 last year. You see，my glasses were just destroyed. I was desperate. ”“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses.

40、in the same house, a relative of the working parents took care of the children.

Gradually nuclear families are often seen in the society, but there also appears the

41、 immediate family, with either the mother or the father living with the children because of divorce. Another variation is the mixed family, the result of a marriage between a previously married man and woman who combine the children from their former marriages into a new family.Since 1950s and 1960s

42、, a trend that has appeared is the sharing of child-care responsibilities between husband and wife. More and more women are working outside the home. Around 70 percent of women with children under 18 have other jobs besides that of mother and homemaker. Most are employed in traditional fields for fe

43、males, such as sales, education, and service. Some are engineers, politicians, doctors, lawyers, and scientists.

47、erica and Eastern Europe.From the last decade, the accessibility of technologycomputers, faxes, teleconferencinghas made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch.

50、 of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. Who Takes Care of Children? B. Why do Women Work Outside?C. What Benefits Single Parents? D. How do People Support Families?CWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces

51、 the risk of acid accumulation in your body. Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes(酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. Whe

52、n we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves sl

53、owly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic.

54、 when weve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstrea

55、m as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the bodys cells. The bodys metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity. The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increa

56、singly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common. To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole fo
