7、Children who were breast-fed(母乳喂养) are better at dealing with stress than their bottle-fed classmates, a Swedish research shows．

A study of thousands of British youngsters showed that those who were given powder milk could feel it more difficult to deal with stressful events----such as the divorce( 离婚)of their parents．

   It is thought that the close contact helps mother and child bond and encourages a feeling of security that enables the child to deal better with traumatic situations in later life．

   Research found a mother’s milk may help reduce stress and the process may feed the growth of the parts of the brain crucial(关键的) in handling stress and anxiety．

   The Swedish findings follow a number of other studies which have shown that breast milk protects against infection, heart disease, diabetes and obesity．Breast-feeding may also reduce the mother’s risk of having breast cancer．

   The support of breast-feeding is so strong that the Department of Health recommends that mothers should feed their babies on breast milk alone for the first six months to ensure they get the best start in life．

   However, many women find breast-feeding difficult and claim they are too busy to do so or are not aware of the knowledge．In the latest study, researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm tracked the health of almost 9,000 boys and girls born in the UK in 1970．

   When the children reached ten, researchers gauged(测量)their ability to cope with stress by looking at how they were affected by family problems．

The results showed that those who were bottle-fed were more than four times as stressed by such events than those who were breast-fed．

73．Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “traumatic”．

74．What does the Department of Health recommend mothers to do?(回答词数不超过10个)

75．According to the research, what do you know about the breast-fed children? (回答词数不超过 6个)

5、A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world．They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals．The scientists were surprised by what they found．They say that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will become extinct(灭绝的)．More than 1 million plant and animal species will become extinct by 2050．

The head of the research team, Christ Thomas, who is professor of conservation biology at Leeds University, said the results of their research were frightening．More than 10% of all plants and animals will become extinct．It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere．But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now, we could save many more plants and animals from extinction．

The scientists studied some areas of the world with a very rich biology．These areas were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa．Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler．In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move very long distances to get cooler, so they are in greater danger of extinction．The scientists found many surprising things．For example, they found that half of the 24 species(物种) of butterfly they studied in Australia would soon become extinct．
