AAlthough they may just be learning how to say the word coffee, about one in seven 2-year-olds in Boston drinks the caffeinated beverage（含咖啡因的饮料）, a new study finds.Researchers analyzed information from 315 mothers and their babies. They discovered that 14 percent of 2-year-olds were given coffee by their parents — on average, slightly more than one ounce（盎司）of coffee a day. Some drank as many as four ounces a day, according to the study.The researchers also found that 2.5 percent of 1-yeai-olds were given coffee. Infants and toddlers（婴幼儿）of Hispanic mothers were more likely to drink coffee than those of non-Hispanic mothers, and girls were more likely than boys to drink coffee, according to the study.“Our results show that many infants and toddlers in Boston — and perhaps in the US — are being given coffee and that this could be associated with cultural practices,” principal researcher Anne Mere wood, director of the Breastfeeding Center at Boston Medical Center, saidChildren in other countries, such as Australia, Cambodia and Ethiopia, sometimes drink coffee, the researchers noted They added that other studies have shown that it is not uncommon for children raised in Hispanic cultures to start drinking coffee at younger ages.There has been little research into coffee consumption by infants, but one study did show that 2-year-olds who drank coffee or tea between meals or at bedtimes are likely to be overweight in kindergarten, the study authors said Other studies have suggested that caffeine consumption by children is associated with depression> sleep problems and obesity, according to the researchers.21.

Kids brought up by Ethiopian mothers.A. giving a report on kids drinking coffeeB. giving a report on the drinks that harm the kidsC. advertising coffee of different brandsD. calling on people not to drink coffee any more23.

On the other side, good habits, such as eating more healthfully or exercising regularly, never seem to stick. As a result, mostBut now, a book, Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives by best-selling author Gretchen Rubin, offers some useful solutions.Rubin, who became interested in habits during her research on happiness, which resulted in two popular books, The Happiness Project（2009）and Happier at Home （20J2）, found that our inability to master unwanted behaviors was a major downer（令人沮丧的因素）. So, after guiding millions of readers down the path of true contentedness, Rubin turned her researching skills toward habits.Change is possible if we do some soul searching and identify how we respond to expectations. And just about everybody falls into one of four personality categories: Questioners, Obligers, Rebels and Upholders.Rubin believes herself to be a classic Upholder, someone who forms habits relatively easily because she responds well to both other people’s deadlines and her own. As to the other types, Questioners will only form a habit if it makes sense to them; Obligers, work hard to meet other people’s expectations but often let themselves down. And Rebels resent（反感）habits.“Think about the habit that you want to form and then think：What is everything I could do to set myself up for success?” Says Rubin. For example, if you want to exercise more and you are an Obliger, call your friend who lives across the street and meet at 6: 30 every morning for a walk.One common pitfall（陷讲）, says Rubin» especially when it comes to changing your diet, is lack of clarity. “You cannot make a habit out of eating more healthfully.” She says. Instead, your habit should be something like: “I am going to pack a lunch every day and bring it to work instead of eating out.”As for exercise, Rubin recommends a strategy called pairing — coupling two activities, one that you need or want to do and one that you don’t particularly want to do. Rubin, for example, only allows herself to read magazines while on fitness equipment at the gym.A. object toB. turn downC. break outD. give in25. What is right about Rubin?A. She had a great interest in habits in her research from the very beginning.B. It is tough for her to form a habit.C. The Happiness Project and Happier at Home written by Rubin were warmly welcome.D. According to Rubin’s research, rebels are those who are fond of habits.26. Why does Rubin mention the word “Clarity”?A. To ask readers to speak more clearly and loudly in public.B. To blame those who are not accurate in expressing.C. To provide more detailed information to others.D. To advise us to be more specific in forming good habits.27. What is pairing strategy recommended by Rubin?A. An activity that must be done in pairs.B. Do one thing you are in favor of with one thing that you dislike.C. An activity in which you match something.D. Do two things you are interested in at the same time.CAt the age of forty-five, my usually well-ordered life became full of changes. After twenty-two years of working in a bank, a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people, I being one of them.My once secure future became uncertain. However, I was not a single parent, so the family did not depend only on my income. My motto has always been “Change good; change is progress”, but when it affected my livelihood, I had to change it to “accept the change and make the most of it.” From the beginning, I chose to look at this matter not as bad luck, but as a welcome good chance. I refused to become sorry；instead, I actively planned to do something new and different.Having a positive attitude made all the difference the way I formed the future. First, I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have. Doing this at my age took more than a little courage. Not being a graduate had never held me back in my job in the bank, but now it was a personal goal I was eager to achieve. With a lot of determination, I went to the evening classes and became an adult student. During this time, I realized that no matter what life throws in our way, personal growth never stops.The second thing I did to improve my inner-self was to reevaluate my past life. It used to be full of endless and meaningless events. But now, my heart and life are firmly linked around people I care for.The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life.
