单选题Two years ago, Dimas Aliprandi and Elton Plaster didn"t know of each other"s existence. Then they learned they had been switched (调换) at birth by mistake more than 20 years ago. The discovery didn"t bring bitterness. Rather, it led to the creation of a bigger family. The chain of events started with Dimas, who was always wondering why he did not look like the four sisters he grew up with. He was 14 when his doubts grew after watching a TV news reporton babies getting switched at birth because of mistakes at hospitals. He wanted to do a DNA test, but it was too expensive for the family. A decade later, Dimas did it on his own. The DNA test showed that he was not the birth son of the man and woman who had raised him. The news was a shock for his parents. They at first refused to believe the results, but eventually decided to help him look for his biological parents. The search began at the Madre Regina Protmann Hospital where records were checked. The hospital searched its records and found Elton Plaster was born there on the same day. The records led Dimas to the 35-acre farm where Plaster lived with his parents, Nilza and Adelson, in the town of Santa Maria de Jetiba, about 30 miles from the Aliprandi home in JoaoNeiva. After tests, the Plasters discovered that Elton was the biological son of the man and womanthat Dimas had been calling Mom and Dad for 24 years. Meanwhile, the couple Elton had alwaysregarded as his biological parents were Dimas" parents. About a year ago, Aliprandi and the parents who raised him accepted an offer from the Plasters to move to their farm, where they built a home. "This is the way it should be," Adelson Plaster recently told Globo TV. "We are all together and I now have two sons living and working here. "

单选题Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to colour or cut out games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products—or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has"Economy Size "or"Family Size"printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.

单选题One of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age ( often referred to by its initials , ROSLA ) has been that it will bring us some way nearer to the ideal of "equality of opportunity." Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that noone who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways. Unfortunately we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For in- stance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all malelS-20 year olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability group had left school at 15. It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5 000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16. It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes—money, social respectability, and interesting jobs—which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money, another wage-earner would bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, "It's up to you./
