项涂黑。

A

We live in central Phoenix, near the canal. Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his scruffy little

dog hanging out down there.

I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn't have been a problem; we

have

our

own

farm

of

animals!

But

he

would

say

and

then

blow

the

idea

off

because

of

our

business.

Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but his winter was really chilly! I

had just come from KFC with take-out food for dinner. As I was turning by the canal, the man and his dog were

sitting right there all bundled up. Even the doggy had a coat on! Not even thinking about it, I pulled into the

parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with al the fixings for the man and his little buddy. I

gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog. He said,

angel.

·

·

When my husband dug into the KFC gag he asked,

he said,

A few weeks later, we were walking along the canal and found the man walking to me, with his little dog.

He asked whether I would mind adopting the dog. With tears in eyes, he said it had gotten too hard for him to

care for the dog. He added that he was planning on heading to Washington State but his dog wouldn't have been

up to it, so he hoped to give it to me.

Now, every time I watch and pat the puppy lying near the fireplace, I will recall the old man's words and

wish him good luck.

Parents need to be good role models to help their children make sensible financial decisions, according to

Adam Hancock and hs team, from East Caronlina University in the US. Their work highlights that parents who

argue about finances contribute to increasing credit card debt among their children during their students years.

Their work is published online in Springer's Journal of Family and Economic Issues.

Credit card debt among college students has been a growing concern for researchers and policymakers over

the last decade. In addition, there is growing concern among educators that more students are dropping out of

school, not because of academic failure, but because of financial reasons, and credit card especially. Hancock

and colleagues' study is the first to examine how parental interactions, and financial knowledge and attitudes

may have a cumulative effect

（累积效应）

on the number of credit cards students own and their level of credit

card debt.

The researchers analyzed data for 420 undergraduate students from seven different American universities,

who

took

part

in

the

College

Student

Financial

Literacy

Survey.

According

to

the

online

survey,

nearly

two-thirds of students had a credit card, and nearly a third had more than one. Those students who reported that

their

parents

argued

about

finances

were

more

likely

to

have

more

than

two

cards

than

the

students

whose

parents who did not argue about finances.

·

3

·

In terms of debt, those students who had two or more credit cards were nearly three times more likely to

report having credit card debt over

＄

500.

The

researchers

conclude,

is

clear

that

the

influence

of

parents

cannot

be

neglected.

Researchers,

educators and policymakers should work in finding effective ways to increase the positive financial behaviors

fo college students. We need to help students learn financial skills and establish healthy financial attitudes at

earlier ages to prevent poor financial habits from taking root.

31.

In Adam Hancock's research, student's credit card debt is related to their _________.

dge

ns

s

32.

When college students have credit card debt, they may ________.

school

in their exams

financial knowledge

more credit cards

33.

What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. More than 400 students i a university took the survey.

B. The survey was conducted with the paper questionnaire.

C. Nearly all the students in this survey have credit cards.

D. Students have fewer cards if their parents argue more.

34.

If you have two or more credit cards, you are more likely to ________.

wealthy

argument

more things

in debt

35.

As a student, what can yo learn from the passage?

A. We need to turn to our parents when we have credit card debt.

B. We should build correct financial attitudes when we are young.

C. We shouldn't have credit cards so that we can avoid argument.

D. We can have more credit cards to make life more comfortable.

C

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctor

who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise

—

and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.

Professor

Taiju

Matsuzawa

wanted

to

find

out

why

otherwise

healthy

farmers

in

northern

Japan

appeared

to

b

losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.

With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand peop

of different ages and varying occupations.

Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and sid

sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (

智能

) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear sectio

of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue livin

without intellectual or emotional faculties.)

Contraction of front and side parts

—

as cells die off

—

was observed I some subjects in their thirties, but it was st

not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.

Matsuzawa

concluded

from

his

tests

that

there

is

a

simple

remedy

to

the

contraction

normally

associated

wi

age< /p>

—

using the head.

The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in th

towns.

Those

least

at

risk,

says

Matsuzawa,

are

lawyers,

followed

by

university

professors

and

doctors.

White

coll

workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, b

driver and shop assistant.
