future brothers or sisters have a higher risk of 36 it,too?

According to the largest study of siblings(兄弟姐妹)in families with autism,the answer is yes.Among 664 children who had at least one older sibling with the developmental disorder,the 37 risk of autism was nearly 19%38 higher than previous sibling-recurrence estimates"that were anywhere from 3%to 10%.Kids with more than one older autistic sibling had an even higher risk of the disorder:32%.

Section B

Directions:In this section.you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

School Lunch

A) Ryan moved silently through the lunch lone.The cook put a cheeseburger(奶酪汉堡)and an apple-sauce cup on his tray.He grabbed a bottle of milk from the cooler at the end of the line and found a seat in the cafeteria(食堂).Ryan saw that his friend Tyler had brought lunch from home.“What did you bring today,Tyler?”he asked.Tyler pulled his meal out of its brown paper sack.“I've got a ham sandwich,chips,two cupcakes,and a can of soda’’Ryan’s mouth started to water.“Uh,Tyler,”he said.“If you don’t want one of those cupcakes.I'll take it.They sure

look good.”Tyler handed Ryan his cupcake.“Sure.”he said.“l won’t eat all this.”

Lunch Requirements

B) Is Ryan eating a healthy meal if he eats the school lunch? School lunch supporters say“Yes. ”Recent studies show that a government approved school lunch has more variety and is more nutritious(有营养的) than most lunches brought from home.It's also lower in fat.The National School Lunch Act requires that school lunches go along with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans developed by the government.Meals must contain a variety of foods with plenty of grains and at least one fruit or vegetable each day.Foods must not contain too much sugar or salt.A hot lunch can contain up to 30%fat,but not more than 10%of its calories(卡路里)should come from saturated(饱和的)fat.Inan average week,you should get one third of the daily Recommended Dietary Allowances for proreIn,iron,calcium(钙),and vitamins A and C from your school lunch.

Dare to Compare

C) Let’s compare Ryan’s and Tyler’s meals to see which is healthier.Ryan’s hot lunch(without the cup-cake from his friend)has 577 calories,25 grams of total fat,and 12 grams of saturated fat.He had one serving of fruit,26 grams of protein,and 483 milligrams of calcium.Ryan ate more total fat(39%)and saturated fat(19%)than the dietary guidelines recommend.However,schools can still meet the guidelines by havmg the numbers average out over a week of lunches.

D) Tyler's lunch from home(this includes both cupcakes)had 1,014 calories,45 grams(40%)of total fat,and 10 grams(9%)of saturated fat.He ate 21 grams of protein and 155 milligrams of calcium,but no flmits or vegetables.Tyler's meal met the saturated fat guidelines,but had too much total fat.Tyler ate more calories and total fat than Ryan did.Ryan ate more protein,calcium,and fruit than Tyler did.Which meal would you say is the healthier choice?

A la Carte Options’

E) Federal standards and most school districts forbid selling food in the cafeteria that competes with the school lunch.Many programs do,however,offer a la carte choices for students who don’t want the hot meal.Foods sold h la carte are separate from the main meal and are priced individually.These foods do not have to meet the same nutritional standards as the foods on the hot lunch menu.Neither do the foods sold at a snack-bar or those foods available elsewhere in the school.

F) A study in one Texas school district compared the lunches of fourth graders who did not have food choices with those of fifth graders who could choose either a standard lunch or select from a snackbar.The fourth graders ate 25%more fruits and vegetables than the fifth graders.Food sold as fundraisers can also have an impact on school lunch.The money raised is important to provide needed funds for many after-class activities.But the meal’s over all nutritional quauty usually goes down.Many of these foods are high in fat,sugar,or both,and often come in extra-large portions.Fund-fairs rarely sell fruits and vegetables.

Choosing Wisely

G) School food-service programs are trying to please students,and still offer quality,nutritious meals at low cost.That task i sn’t easy.One school district in New York decided to do something about it.A student advisory board kept the food-service director up-to-date on what the kids wanted.They also worked with school snack-bars to sell smaller servings of chips and candy.H) You can make healthy meal choices at school even when not-so-healthy choices are available.You can be sure to get a nutritious meal when you pick foods from the Food Guide

Pyramid.For example,always drink milk or a calcium-rich juice for lunch.Even chocolate milk is more nutritious than soda or a sports drink.Stay away from snack foods offered a la carte.They may fill you up now.but the ones that contain a lot of fat and sugar will slow you down later.Always eat the fruits and vegetables offered at the meal.They help give you the energy and vitamins you need to get you through the rest of your school day.Some people like to make fun of school lunches,but good nutrition is no laughing matter.Your school’s hot lunch is based on the Food Guide Pyramid,so it's full of nutrition.Give it a try.You might be pleasantly surprised.It’s a Team E ffort

I) Team Nutrition is a program that gets schools excited about healthy eating.Schools across the nation pick a team leader who develops fun nutrition activities.The leader works with students,teachers,parents,food-service workers,and people from the community.Activities can range from running a school health fair to planting a garden.At the Jordan Community School in Chicago,Illinois,one group of fifth graders showed off their “pizza(比萨饼)garden”in a bi g,colorful poster showing vegetarian pizzas.The students and food-service staff planted and took care of the vegetables that they would later use as ingredients on their pizzas.The group started growing the plants in the school’s cafeteria.Then they moved them outdoors to the students’demonstration garden.This is just one way to get everyone involved in making school lunch healthy and fun.

Team up with your own group and see how creative you can get.

In the spring of 2007 I got a Ubrary internship(实习生的位置)at the Southfield Public Library(SPL),just north of Detroit.Summers at SPL were usually slow,but that ye屿we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week,midterms or tax season.Yet patrons weren’t looking for Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference or tax return forms.They were coming for information on growing their small business.

I interpreted peopl e’s interest in our business coll ection as the first step to pursuing their dreams,but these patrons were not motivated by dreams.They were responding to reality,and they were looking for Plan B.

Things worsened in 2008,and in 2009 the economic crisis continues to plague Michigan.Last year, we put up a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked every hour.Each night the library closed,the display was bare.While we normally keep displays up for a week,we kept the job resources display up for months.

Then there’s the tighten ing credit market.People see the writmg on the wall and they want to get educated.They can’t afford a financial adviser,but checking books out is flee.Some of the most popular rifles now are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Suze Orman's 2009 Action Plan.

The economic downturn affects us all.I have had to work long hours and don’t get to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately.but I am thankful to be in a position where I can help people overcome this struggle.In Michigan,we haven’t lost hope.As long as there are libraries here,there will always be hope.

More than three dozen billionaires,including well-known philanthropist(慈善家)David Rockefeller,have promised at least haft of their fortunes to charity,joining a programme that Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett started in June to encourage other wealthy people to give.

The pledge is currently worth about $150 billion,but the programme predicts it will eventually be worth $600 billion.

“During even the Depression’s worst years.my parents gave money--about 8%of their annualin come of $2,200,”said Lorry Lokey,one of the donors,oil the website of the programme,the Giving Pledge.“I remember saying to my mother that we can't afford that.But she said we have to share withothers.’’

The pledge has been a matter of some debate in philanthropic and non-profit circles,with some experts dismissing it as mere publicity and others predicting that it would produce a flood of new money to support non-profit groups.

Buffett said the real value of the pledge was found in the example it set and in the sentiments(情感)expressed in the letters posted on the website.

Buffett and Gates will hold several dinners later this year to recruit more billionaires,and members of the Giving Pledge will meet annually to discuss their philanthropy.The pair are due to meet some wealthiest people in China next month and India in March.“We hope this catches fire in some other countries,”Buffett said.“If they want to take what we think is a good idea and run with it,we will be cheering.”

Buffett said the number of people who had agreed to sign on was at the high end of his expectations.He said some people who declined to sign the pledge were plaaning to give away most of their wealth but did not want to draw attention to those plans.‘

Energy tycoon(大亨)Pickeus,who is worth about $1 billion,said in his Giving Pledge letter.“I've long stated that I enjoy making money,and I enjoy giving it away.I'm not a big fan of inherited wealth.It generally does more harm than good.’’

写作 作文范文:Greed or Greet? The earth has nurtured generations of human beings, offering us with every resource to survive and prosper. Nowadays, with the explosion of population and boom of economy, human’s rel entless exploitation of natural resources has caused crisis of exhaustion of energy and resources. The remark “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.” gives out a warning for us all. The ecosystem has remained balanced until man becomes obsessed with their ambition to conquer Nature and they are blinded by greed. On one hand, they are so economy-oriented that they ignore the protection of environment. Increasing pollution not only causes serious problems such as global warming but also could threaten to end human life on our planet. On the other hand, man exploits and abuses non-renewable energy and resources for the sake of developing economy. If man insists on extracting natural resources recklessly, it will be too dreadful to face the consequence. Let us remember that only when we shake off greed and heal the earth can we build a better home for ourselves and our future generations. 【快速阅读】 美国工业制造 1-7 DADAAAB 8 higher 9 the immigrants 10 doing more themselves 听力 11.

Although it’s evidence that this isn’t the case. While it seems ability us inherited, there’s abundant that at birth virtually everyone has perfect pitch, the reasons that one child is better than another are motivation and practice. Highly musical children were sung to more as infants and more encouraged to join in song games as kids than less musical ones, long before any musical ability could have been evident. Studies of classical musicians prove that the best ones practiced considerably more from childhood onwards than ordinary orchestral players, and this is because their parents were at them to put in the hours from a very young age. The same was true of children selected for entry to specialist music schools, compared with those who were rejected. The chosen children had parents who had very actively supervised music lessons and daily practice from young ages, giving up substantial periods of leisure time to take the children to lessons and concerts. The singer Michael Jackson’s story, although unusually brutal and extreme, is illumination when considering musical prodigy(天才). Accounts suggest that he was subjected to cruel beatings and emotional torture ,and that he was humiliated (羞辱) constantly by his father, What sets Jackson’s family apart is that his father used his reign of terror to train his children as musicians and dancers. On top of his extra ability Michael also had more drive. This may have been the result of being the closest of his brothers and sisters to his mother. “He seemed other said of him. She different to me from the other children —special,”Michael’s m may not have realized that treating her son as special may have been part of the reason be became like that.

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be
