AIceland has the highest birth rate in Europe, the highest divorce rate, and the highest percentage of women working outside the home. Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable, chaotic（混乱的）society, with loads of children, broken homes and absent mothers. But Iceland is the exception – its citizens are the happiest in the world.Perhaps the country's geographic location contributes to Icelanders' happiness. Located in the middle of the North Atlantic, with Greenland as its nearest neighbor, Iceland is free from the taboos （禁忌）that cause so much trouble elsewhere. For instance, people who divorce are not looked down upon by society.Icelanders are offsprings（后代）of the Vikings, a north European people who invaded European coasts from the 8th through the 10th century. This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern-day Iceland. Practically all Icelanders have studied or worked abroad, and most speak English.Perhaps as a result, Iceland's economic policies blend the best of those from Europe with the US to create its own welfare system."Many of us have lived in the US, and studied there," said the Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde. "We have both taken from them and found that naturally we share the can-do attitude——that if you work hard, anything can be done."Indeed, the country is rich in writers, painters, film makers and musicians. There's Sigur Ros, a post-rock band, and also a national symphony orchestra that plays to the highest standards all over the world. Half the population appears to have written a book."Iceland has harsh（恶劣的）nature, with its bitter ever-chang ing weather,” said Haraldur Jonsson, a painter, sculptor and video and performance artist. “We cannot escape it. So we find ways________. We have to have a rich internal（内在的）life to fill the empty spaces."21．It is commonly believed that high birth rate and divorce rate will bring about ________.

Her mother, Jovan, knew how important breastfeeding was, especially for a premature (早产的) baby like Ariyah, so she began pumping milk to feed her through a tube. But two days later, Jovan felt dizzy and feverish — 104 Fahrenheit degrees, in fact. She had a blood disease and was close to full shock.She was separated from others for nearly two weeks at the regional Northern Virginia hospital where she’d delivered. During that time, she could still pump breast milk, but Ariyah couldn’t consume it because of the risk of infection (感染). Without it, the newborn was particularly easily affected by diseases. There are many cases like this, which creates the need for the milk donation.Enter donor milk —breast milk purchased by hospitals for mothers who aren’t able to produce enough milk on their own, due to health complications, stresses, or other factors. The milk comes from milk banks, organizations that collect and screen breast milk from those women willing to donate. Usually processed in intensive-care units, the milk is only available by prescription.In recent years, both milk banks and the use of donated human milk have risen swiftly in the United States. In 2011, 22 percent of NICUs used donor breast milk; four years later, that number doubled to nearly 40 percent, and went even higher for the most intensive NICUs — as much as 75 percent. There are 23 milk banks in the United States recognized by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, or HMBANA, double the number that existed five years ago.But as the demand for donor milk rises, banks must find more charitable donors — a task made more complicated by informal networks of milk sharing that happens online. And many of the most vulnerable infants are still not being reached.24. What’s the problem of Ariyah when she was born?A. She had a shock.B. She was too light.C. She had a blood infection.D. She felt dizzy and feverish.25. What’s the influence if a mom has no breast milk?A. The mom can still pump breast milk.B. The mom will have to stay at the hospital.C.

Where would you most probably see the text above?A. In a historical fiction.B. In a science magazine.C. In an entertainment newspaper.D. In a textbook.CDo ants know what they are doing when they are marching across our kitchen counter looking so confident? Do they have a plan? Do they know where they are going and what needs to be done?Ants are very successful animals.They can be found in every pat of the Earth except for Antarctica and a fer small islands.Over 12,500 species of ants exist.Their populations number in the millions.In fat, biologists say that if you weighed every living thing on the planet,15-25ercent of the total weight would be made up by ants.How can they do these things with such small brains?Ants aren't clever little engineers, architects,or warriors after all -at least not as individuals(个体）。
