填空题Malnutrition during weaning age—when breast milk is being replaced by semi-solid foods—is highly prevalent in children of poor households in many developing countries. While the etiology is complex and multifactorial, the immediate causes are recognized as feeding at less than adequate levels for child growth and development, and recurrent infections, including diarrhoea, resulting mainly from ingestion of contaminated foods. As a result, many young children, particularly between six months to two years of age, experience weight loss and impaired growth and development. Two such answers have arisen. Firstly, cereal fermentation is used for reducing the risk of contamination under the existing inappropriate conditions for food preparation and storage in many households. Secondly, a tiny amount of sprouted grains flour is used in preparation of weaning foods as a magic way to lessen the viscosity without decreasing energy density. A method to eliminate pathogenic bacteria and inhibit their growth during storage of weaning preparations can benefit nutrition and health in young children considerably. Use of fermented foods for feeding children of weaning age appears to be an effective solution. Fermented foods have lower levels of diarrhoeal germ contamination, they are suitable for child feeding, and can be safely stored for much longer periods of time than fresh foods. The practice has been a traditional way of food preservation in many parts of the world. The antimicrobial properties of fermented foods and their relative higher safety—documented since the early 1900"s—have been indicated in a number of studies. What are the underlying mechanisms by which fermentation processes help to prevent or reduce contamination? A possible answer suggests that during the fermentation process foods become more acid. This explains why diarrhoea-causing bacteria are not able to grow in fermented foods as rapidly as in unfermented ones. It is also hypothesized that some of the germs present in the foods are killed or inhibited from growing through the action of antimicrobial substances produced during fermentation (Dialogue on Diarrhoea, 1990). The fermented foods can, therefore, be kept for a longer time compared to fresh ones. It has been shown that while contamination levels in cooked unfermented foods increase with storage time, fermented foods remain less contaminated. Whatever the underlying mechanisms, the fact is that the exercise reduces contamination without adding to the household cost both in terms of time and money. Its preparation is easy. The cereal flour is mixed with water to form a dough which is left to be fermented; addition of yeast, or mixing with a small portion of previously fermented dough is sometimes needed. The dough can then be cooked into porridge for feeding to the child. Summary: Malnutrition and the resulting impaired growth and development in children of weaning age in developing countries results not only from 1 but also from infections caused by contaminated food. Studies have addressed the problem of inadequate intake by using sprouted grains in food preparation. Contamination has been tackled with 2 . Both of these methods are, or were, used traditionally and are practical and inexpensive. Fermented foods have higher 3 , and also have antimicrobial qualities. This means that contamination is decreased and that their 4 is increased. Fermentation occurs when 5 is left to stand, occasionally with simple additives.

填空题Many languages of the world use the word "computer", or something close to it. But in one particular country, it is legal to call a computer "a computer". In France, 1 a computer must be called "un ordinateur". In fact, if there is ever a French equivalent 2 the English word is forbidden. In 1994, the French government passed La LoiToubon (the Toubon Law ), make the use of French compulsory in education, the media, and business. 3 This means commercial advertisements and public announcements should be made in French. The Toubon Law has effected many aspects of French life. 4 From restaurant menu to product labeling, all advertising of goods and services 5 in France must be presented in French or at least including a French translation. 6 The reason for the law is simple: the French are very proud of their language and do not want "Franglais"—a mixture of French and English—to ruin it. Recently, the internet has provided oppositions to the Toubon Law . Although 7 the law does not apply for non-commercial communication, web pages, or 8 publications from individuals, French supporters of the law have tried to prosecute certain websites that contain English. They say there has no reason why 9 the internet should escape the law"s reach. But they have come up against the reality of the internet being predominately English-language medium. It is said 10 that English is the lingua franca of the internet, and anyone who tries to block that will only slow their own growth.

填空题Around the world, music therapy is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain, such as childbirth or during cancer treatments, or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or memory loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities. Classical music is most typically used for therapies due to its complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or pop might be fun to listen to, it"s unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect. Playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people, helping relieve stress and anxiety. Have scientists been able to prove that music can heal diseases? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body"s natural painkillers, and when we listen to music, our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of new born babies and even babies still in the mother"s womb. Currently, music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, day care centers, and schools. Summary: There appears to be some evidence that music is helpful 1 some medical conditions. Therefore, doctors and patients are turning to 2 to treat various 3 and disabilities. Doctors believe that music with 4 and patterns is more effective. This kind of music seems to 5 more activity in the brain. Although it may be 6 to listen to rap or pop or dance music, doctors prefer to use 7 to treat patients.

填空题As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on it. They are the mark of success 21 or failure in our society. One"s whole future may be decided on one fateful day. It doesn"t matter that he wasn"t feeling very well, or that his mother died. Things like that don"t count on: the exam goes on. No one can give of his best when 22 he is in mortal terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects you to do. The moment 23 a child begins school, he enters into a world of vicious competition 24 where success and failure are clearly defined and measured. Can we wonder at the increasing number of "drop-outs": young people who are written off as utter failures before they have even embarked 25 a career? Can we be surprised at the suicide rate among students? A good education should, among other things, train one to think for himself. The examination system does nothing but that. 26 What has to be learnt is rigidly laid down by a syllabus, so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek 27 more and more knowledge, but induce cramming. They lower the standards of teaching, for they deprive teachers off all freedoms. 28 Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reducing to training their 29 students in exam techniques which they despise of. The most 30 successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working under duress.
