单选题Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people gave their opinions on work and family. For Questions 61 to 65 ,match the name of the persons to one of the statements given below.
Liu :
To me, work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it''s the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise, I may some day lose everything, even my child.
I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby.
I resumed working after a short maternity leave. Now my daughter goes to a kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society.
Long gone are the days when work is mechanically divided according to sex. Now people, men and women, take their work in line with their abilities. Moreover, I think men should take an equal share in housework and child care.
Liang:
Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity, then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world.
As for me, when I have a child, it is just another part of my life. It would be impossible to make her my whole life. I will give my child ideological instructions and material comforts. I think I will also get a nanny to lend me a hand.
Yao:
It''s unnecessary for women to work side by side with men.
When women make their career their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal instincts. They become as aggressive as men. I don''t like this type of women.
If I get married, I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant.
Wang:
Modem women are shirking their responsibility as mothers by reducing the time they should spend caring for their children to expand their presence in the workplace.
Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. It''s absolutely wrong for women to throw themselves into material production, which they are not so good at. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman''s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child.
Even when women do work, their purpose in working should not be to develop their own careers. They should regard the working experience as a chance to broaden their vision so that they can be better mothers.
Zhao:
Although we may say women''s talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career.
The problem is how to make sure that burden is not only on the mother. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields. There is no basic difference between the quality of work performed by men and women.

单选题If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age and how the process of aging could be slowed down.
With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.
Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual on emotional faculties (功能). Contraction of front and side parts— as cells die off— was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in sixty-and seventy-year-old.
Matsuzaswa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age— using the head. The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed, by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Matsuzawa"s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from thinking.
Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells needed. "The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain." he says, "Think hard and engage in conversation. Don"t rely on pocket calculators."

单选题The research carried out by the University of Bari in Italy could help prove hospitals who are accused of wasting money on art and decoration as it suggests a pleasant environment helps patients ease discomfort and pain. A team headed by Professor Marina de Tommaso at the Neurophysiopathology Pain Unit asked a group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli. They were then asked to look at either the beautiful paintings, or the ugly painting, or a blank panel while the team zapped a short laser pulse at their hand, creating a sensation as if they had been stuck by a pin. The subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense while they were viewing the beautiful paintings, compared with when looking at the ugly paintings or the blank panel. Electrodes measuring the brain's electrical activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful paintings. While distractions, such as music, are known to reduce pain in hospital patients, Prof de Tommaso says this is the first result to show that beauty plays a part. The findings, reported in New Scientist, also go a long way to show that beautiful surroundings could aid the healing process. "Hospitals have been designed to be functional, but we think that their artistic aspects should be taken into account too," said the neurologist. "Beauty obviously offers a distraction that ugly paintings do not. But at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worse." "I think these results show that more research is needed into the field how a beautiful environment can alleviate suffering." Pictures they liked included Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and Botticellis Birth of Venus. Pictures they found ugly included works by Pablo Picasso, the Italian 20th century artist Anonio Bueno and Columbian Fernando Botero. "These people were not art experts so some of the pictures they found ugly would be considered masterpieces by the art world," said Prof de Tommaso.
