UN Health Agency Says Breastfeeding Can Save Babies’ Lives.
The World Health Organization says exclusive breastfeeding can save millions of infant lives every year.As World Breastfeeding Week gets underway,W.H.O.and its partners are promoting mother’s milk as the best way to give babies a healthy start in life.
W.H.O.recommends exclusively breastfeeding babies until they are six months of age.And it says continued breastfeeding up to two years of age and beyond will greatly reduce child deaths caused by infection and malnutrition(营养不良) in developing countries.
W.H.O estimates 3.5 million children die every year of malnutrition.It says up to 1.5 million children could be saved by increasing breastfeeding.That’s because mother’s milk contains important nutrients,vitamins and minerals that are found nowhere else.And these provide immunities (免疫力) against a host of infections and diseases.It defends the baby against all the potential microbia that can affect him.So,that is why the child will have less episodes of diarrhea(腹泻),will have less experiences with respiratory infections and also less likely to die because of common childhood illnesses,especially diarrhea and pneumonia(肺炎).
W.H.O.acknowledges that breastfeeding may not be appropriate in all cases.For instance,if a mother is HIV-positive,she could transmit the disease to her baby through breastfeeding.It might be better for mothers to choose formula milk.
According to the environment,the risk of the baby dying because of other illnesses,other infections diseases might be a lot higher than before.For example,many developing countries do not have safe water and mixing polluted water with powdered formula is a common cause of death among infants.
W.H.Osays mother’s milk is best everywhere in the world,in rich and poor countries alike.New studies show breastfeeding can protect children against chronic(慢性的)diseases later in life.Breast fed babies are at lower risk of getting high blood pressure,high cholesterol,of becoming very fat and of developing type 2 diabetes.
1.What does the underlined word “respiratory” in the third paragraph mean
A.of stomach B.of breathing
C.of brain D.of lung
2.Exclusive breastfeeding can reduce the risk of the following diseases EXCEPT________.
A.malnutrition and high cholesterol
B.diarrhea and blood pressure
C.pneumonia and type 2 diabetes
D.heart attack and pneumonia
3.From the passage we can know________.
A.all the babies should be fed with mother’s milk
B.mother’s milk can not transmit disease to babies
C.breast fed babies have less chance to get some diseases than others
D.the longer exclusive breastfeeding is,the more healthy the babies are in every country
4.The main idea of the passage is that________.
A.exclusive breastfeeding can save babies’ lives
B.millions of babies die of malnutrition in developing
countries
C.breastfeeding may not be appropriate in all cases
D.breastfeeding can protect children against chronic
diseases

Dr.Martin Luther King
It was December 1955,and Martin Luther King had just received his doctorate degree in theology.He had moved to Montgomery,Alabama to preach (讲道) at a Baptist church.He saw there,as in many other southern states,that African-Americans had to ride in the back of public buses,Dr.King knew that this law violated the rights of every African-American.He organized and led a boycott of the public buses in the city of Montgomery.Any person,black or white,who was against segregation (种族隔离) refused to use public transportation.Those people who boycotted were threatened or attacked by other people;or even arrested or jailed by the police.After 382 days of boycotting the bus system,the Supreme Court declared that the Alabama State segregation law was unconstitutional.
African-Americans were not only segregated on buses throughout the South.Equal housing was denied to them,and seating in many hotels and restaurants are refused.
In 1957,Dr.King founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (南方基督教领导会议) and moved back to his hometown of Atlanta,Georgia.This was the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement.In the following years,he continued to organize non-violent protests against unequal treatment of African-American people.His philosophy remained peaceful,and he constantly reminded his followers that their fight would be victorious if they did not resort to bloodshed.Nonetheless,he and his demonstrators were often threatened and attacked.Demonstrations which began peacefully often ended up in violence,and he and many others were often arrested.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed.It was not the first law of civil rights for Americans,but it was the most thorough and effective.The Act guaranteed equal rights in housing,public facilities,voting and public schools.Everyone would have impartial hearings (申诉的机会) and jury trials.A civil rights commission would ensure that these laws were enforced.Dr.Martin Luther King and thousands of others now knew that they had not struggled in vain.In the same year Dr.King won Nobel Peace Prize for leading nonviolent demonstrations.
In 1968,Dr.Martin Luther King was assassinated while he was leading a workers’ strike in Memphis,Tennessee,white people and black people who had worked so hard for peace and civil rights were shocked and angry.The world was in deep sorrow at the loss of this man of peace.
Dr.Martin Luther King’s death did not slow the Civil Rights Movement.Black and white people continued to fight for freedom and equality.
5.Which is the beginning of Civil Rights Movement
A.The boycott of the public buses in the city of Montgomery.
B.The establishment of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference by Dr.King.
C.The pass of the Civil Rights Act.
D.The assassination of Dr.King in 1968.

In a moment of personal crisis,how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver I began studying this question and answers are interesting.
One morning,I got into three different taxis and announced,“Well,it’s my first day back in New York in seven years.I’ve been in prison.”Not a single driver replied,so I tried again.“Yeah,I shot a man in Reno.”I explained,hoping the driver would ask me why,but nobody asked.The only response came from a Ghanaian driver,“Reno That is in Nevada?”
Taxi drivers were uniform sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired.“This is America,”a Haitian driver said.“One door is closed.Another is open.”He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house.A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope;he refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge—a $ 20 trip,“Why you want to go there Go home and relax.Don’t worry.Take a new job.”
One very hot weekday in July,while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word“BANK”on it,I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks.The driver picked me up every time.My ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.
“Let’s go across the park.”I said.“I just robbed the bank there.I got $ 25,000.”
“$ 25,000?”he asked.
“Yeah,you think it was wrong to take it?”
“No,man.I work 8 hours and I don’t make almost $70.If I can do that,I do it too.”
As we approached 86th and Lexington,I pointed to the Chemical Bank.
“Hey,there is another bank,”I said,“Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”
“No,I can’t wait.Pay me now.”His unwillingness may have had something to do with money—taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low—but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.
1.From the Ghanaian driver’s response,we can infer that ________.
A.he was afraid of the author
B.he thought the author was crazy
C.he looked down upon the author
D.he was indifferent to the killing
2.Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the middle of the George Washington Bridge
A.Because he was able to help the author to find a new job.
B.Because he wanted to go home and relax.
C.Because he thought that the author would commit suicide.
D.Because it was far away from his home.
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE about New York taxi drivers
A.They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.
B.They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.
C.They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.
D.They work only for money.
4.The passage mainly discusses________.
A.the way to please taxi riders
B.the way to deal with taxi riders
C.taxi drivers’ attitude to riders in personal trouble
D.taxi drivers’ attitude to troublesome taxi riders
