The struggle against malnutrition and
hunger is as old as man himself, and never across the face of our planet has
outcome been more in doubt. Malnutrition caused much suffering to an estimated
400 million to 1.5 billion of the world's poor. Even in the wealthy US poverty
means undernourishment for an estimated ten to twenty million. Hardest hit are
children, whose growing bodies demand two and a half times more protein, pound
for pound, than those of adults. Nutrition experts estimate that 70 percent of
the children in low-income countries are affected. Badly shaped
bodies tell the tragic story of malnutrition. Medical science identifies two
major types of malnutrition which usually occur in combination. The first,
kwashiorkor (恶性营养不良), is typified by the bloated look. The opposite of what we
associate with starvation. Accumulated fluids pushing against wasted muscles
account for the plumpness of hands, feet, belly, and face. Lean shoulders reveal
striking thinness. Caused by an acute lack of protein kwashiorkor can bring
brain damage, anemia, diarrhea, irritability, apathy, and loss of
appetite. On the other hand, stick limbs, a bloated belly, wide
eyes, and the stretched skin face of an old person mark victims of marasmus, a
word taken from the Greek "to waste away". Lacking calories as well as protein,
sufferers may weigh only half as much as normal. With fat gone, the skin hangs
in wrinkles or draws tight over bones. With marasmus comes anemia, diarrhea,
dehydration, and a very hungry appetite. Children, whose growing bodies require
large amounts of protein, have to suffer in greatest numbers, but perhaps only
three percent of all child victims suffer the extreme stages
described. Scientists are doing best to develop new weapons
against malnutrition and starvation. But two thirds of the human population of
3.9 billion live in the poorest countries which also have the highest birth
rates. Thus, of the 74 million people added to the population each year, four
out of five will be born in a country unable to supply its people's nutritional
needs.

Text 3{{/B}}There is one difference between the sexes on
which virtually every expert and study agree: men are more aggressive than
women. It shows up in 2-year-old. It continues through school days and persists
into adulthood. It is even constant across cultures. And there is little doubt
that it is rooted in biology-in the male sex hormone testosterone.
If there's a feminine trait that's the counterpart of male aggressiveness,
it's what social scientists awkwardly refer to as "nurturance". Feminists have
argued that the nurturing nature of women is not biological in origin, but
rather has been drummed into women by a society that wanted to keep them in the
home. But the signs that it is at least partly inborn are too numberous to
ignore. Just as tiny infant girls respond more readily to human faces, female
toddlers learn much faster than males how to pick up nonverbal cues from others.
And grown women are far more adapt than men at interpreting facial expressions:
A recent study by University of Pennsylvania brain researcher Ruben Gur showed
that they easily read emotions such as anger, sadness and fear. The only such
emotion men could pick up was disgust. What difference do such
differences make in the real world? Among other things, women appear to be
somewhat less competitive—or at least competitive in different ways—than men. At
the Harvard Law School, for instance, female students enter with credentials
just as outstanding as those of their male peers. But they don't qualify for the
prestigious Law Review in proportionate numbers, a fact some school officials
attribute to women's discomfort in the incredibly competitive
atmosphere. Students of management styles have found fewer
differences than they expected between men and women who reach leadership
positions, perhaps because many successful women deliberately imitate masculine
ways. But an analysis by Purdue social psychologist Alice Eagly of 166 studies
of leadership style did find one consistent difference: Men tend to be more
"autocratic"—making decisions on their own—while women tend to consult
colleagues and subordinates more often. Studies of behavior in
small groups turn up even more differences. Men will typically dominate
the discussion, says University of Toronto psychologist Kenneth Dion, spending
more time talking and less time listening.

单选题Kite flying is the sport of sending up into the air, by means of the wind, a light frame covered with paper, plastic or cloth. The frame can be one of many different shapes and is attached to a long string held in the hand or wound on a drum. Kites have a long history of practical application and many different types of kite have been developed to serve various purposes. The ancient Chinese used bird-kites to carry ropes across rivers and valleys. The current folding kite which will dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite. With its long flat body and single pair of bird-like wings, it looks just like a large bird in the air. The modern version is usually made of tissue-paper rather than the traditional silk. Man-lifting kites were developed in ancient times, again by the Chinese, for getting information from walled cities and army camps. In fact, as recently as World War II , German U-boats flew kites from their towers to lift people into the air to watch the land. These kites, which are no longer in existence, were made of light-weight cloth. They were much larger and stronger than the Chinese ones. Their design, however, was simply that of the cutter kite. Smaller in size, this type of kite is still very popular as a toy for children, being easy to make with a diamond-shaped frame, no wings and brown-paper covering. Box-kites are another type of kite found in toy shops today. The first box-kite, named for its box-like body, was developed in the nineteenth century to test theories of flight and this type of cotton-covered kite greatly assisted the success of early aeroplanes. These kites are the ancestors of a heavier version of the box-kite, called the double box-kite, which consists of two main sections, placed side by side. Developed for the peacetime purpose of fishing in strong sea wind, it is the only modern kite described which has practical value. A long-lasting plastic material has to be used for this kite, which carries fishing lines.

Seconds (42) ,a large hunk of ice fell out of the clear blue sky and pounded into the soft ground, shattering over a 50-foot-wide area. The ice dug a hole of a foot deep and a foot in diameter.

Although eyewitnesses to the phenomenon report that they did not see anything in the sky that could account (44) the ice, scientists had to come up with a rationalization. Professor Jesus Martinez Frias, the geologist investigating the ice falls in Spain, told BBC News that the ice pieces had probably been (45) through sudden temperature drops in the stratosphere. This was the most likely explanation, he said, for the "very unusual" phenomenon.
