A new study has demonstrated the importance of women's rights. The researchers behind the study state that many parts of the world have made good economic progress, but women's rights are often overlooked. Thus, they wanted to determine if there was a link between protection of women's rights and public health. The researchers analyzed databases which held information from 162 countries for the period 2004 to 2010. Countries were classified according to the respect they gave to women's economic and social rights. There were three categories. They were high, moderate, and poor. Analysis of the data showed that countries with strong women's rights had better health than those where women's rights were not as respected. The health indicators studied included disease prevention, reproductive health, death rates, and life expectancy. Furthermore, in countries where women's rights were most respected, but where access to hospitals and doctors was below average, health outcomes were still better than in countries rated as moderate or poor. This confirms that even with a lack of resources, if a country has strong women's rights, the health outcomes are better. Thus, the researchers argued that gender equality is not just a women's rights issue. It is also a development issue. This is because better health aids economic development. They note that the value of women's rights has often been questioned from an economic standpoint. Some have argued that ensuring those rights would limit progress, but this study indicates the opposite. public health. between protection of women's rights and public health.

Sunshine and high temperatures can mean picnics and parks and trips to beaches, but they can make your body react in some strange ways. First, sunshine can actually affect your breath. You may think that summer is the perfect time to go on a date or chat with an attractive boy or girl. But excessive heat can cause you to lose water, which has been proven to have a pretty unattractive side effect—bad breath. When you are lacking water, your mouth becomes dry. Bacteria accumulate because there isn't enough water in your mouth to wash it away, Sunshine can stop you from sweating, too. The body's normal temperature is 36 to 37 degrees centigrade. But if it heats up to 40 to 41 degrees, you may find yourself getting heatstroke. At that point, your heat regulatory system can essentially quit, which stops you from sweating as your body tries to keep water around your vital organs. However, the sun can have a positive influence on your body by raising your energy levels. You might feel like the sun is giving you extra energy for your day, which is actually happening. And vitamin D from sunshine can help your body to absorb certain minerals, which are linked to building stronger bones. Therefore, I suggest you spend more time in the park with your friends, but make sure you apply lots of skin protection and fill up those water bottles, too. make your body react in some strange ways.

Left-handed people can find it inconvenient to do certain things, writing in a notebook for example, but there are a number of advantages of being left-handed. Research found that they were overrepresented among fighters in combat sports. Left-handed fighters also had higher chances to win. This confirms the fighter theory. Left-handers may also be better at remembering events. The explanation is that the two brain spheres of left-handers are more strongly connected. Being left-handed might be a factor in mathematical ability. An Italian study found that for simple arithmetic there was little difference between right- and left-handed performance, but for more difficult problem-solving, left-handers won out. No one understands the reason for this. Left-handed people may think differently. In one study, researchers showed the participants columns of abstract illustrations and asked them which ones they would prefer. Left-handed people were more likely to prefer the images on the left. Right-handed people preferred the ones on the right. Both groups disliked stuff on their opposite side. Left-handers are also overrepresented in professional, interactive sports. Researchers have looked at the influence of being left-handed on performance and interactive sports. Those that require the fastest reaction give left-handers the biggest advantage. So if you have a left-handed child, you should encourage them to play table tennis, baseball and tennis. Being left-handed maximizes their chances of success in these sports. fighters also had higher chances to win.
- A.They are more likely to win in combat sports.

It all started in 1991 when the Harvard-educated physician was transferred from working in a stressful emergency room to being the medical director of a nursing home in upstate New York. The depressing and regimented environment got him thinking on what exactly could improve the residents' conditions. Even though animals in nursing homes were illegal at the time, Dr. Bill Thomas took a chance. Based on a hunch , he brought in two dogs, four cats, hens, rabbits, 100 birds, a multitude of plants, a flower garden, and a vegetable patch. The change was dramatic. There was a 50% drop in medical prescriptions along with a dramatic decrease in death rates—but most importantly, the residents were simply happier. Dr. Thomas's approach, named the Eden Alternative, has driven nursing homes to allow a more autonomous and creative living space for their elderly. It erases the belief that growing old means growing useless. He encourages residents to think of their age as an enriching new phase of life rather than the end of it. Thomas, now a speaker and author of several books, also created small, independently-run residences with their own bedrooms and bathrooms, and he has been preaching a singular message that getting old is not a bad thing. "Within six weeks, they had to send a truck around to pick up all the wheelchairs," Thomas told the Washington Post. "You know why most people in nursing homes use wheelchairs? Because the buildings are so big." The 56-year-old doctor's methods have been adopted in Australia, Japan, Canada, and America with enormous success. Last year he published Second Wind: Navigating the Passage to a Slower, Deeper, and More Connected Life, a guide on how to shift our perspectives on aging and growth. He is currently traveling through North America performing with his guitar and his enthusiasm on his Age of Disruption Tour.

Research shows that in developed countries, more affluent and educated people tend to consume higher- quality diets—including more fruits and vegetables, fish and whole grains. On the contrary, economically disadvantaged people report diets that are nutrient-poor and energy-dense. They are less likely to have food- purchasing habits that conform to public health recommendations. These dietary differences are often accompanied by higher rates of obesity and diabetes among lower-income people. This relationship between social class and diet quality and health is extensively documented. However, the research does not explain why this is the case—a question that has significant implications for designing effective policies and initiatives to improve diets and prevent chronic diseases. Public-health initiatives to promote healthy diets often focus on providing nutrition education and recipes . These approaches, however, often presume less food literacy (i.e., food knowledge and skills) among low- income people. Are unhealthy diets really the result of poor choices, limited food skills and knowledge? Research suggests that adults in food-insecure households are just as likely as those in food-secure households to adjust recipes to make them more healthy. They are also just as proficient in food preparation and cooking skills. There is no indication that increasing food skills or budgeting skills will reduce food insecurity. Instead, disadvantaged groups are constrained by their economic, material and social circumstances. For example, low income is the strongest predictor of food insecurity in Canada, where one in eight households experiences insufficient access to nutritious foods. It's well-established that food prices are an important determinant of food choice. Low-income households report that they find it difficult to adopt dietary guidelines because food prices are a barrier to improving their diets. When researchers estimate the cost of diets people actually eat, higher-quality diets are typically more costly. While this may be so, it does not, in itself, prove that healthy diets are necessarily more expensive or cost- prohibitive. After all, not all socioeconomically disadvantaged people consume poor diets. We can easily think of a number of foods and recipes that are both inexpensive and nutritious. The internet is full of recipes for "eating well on a budget."
- A.Dietary recommendations are not fit for underprivileged people.
- B.People from different social groups vary in their dietary habits.
- C.People's choice of food depends on their individual taste
- D.There is no consensus on what high-quality diets are.

参考范文
In today's interconnected campus life, the necessity of developing social skills for college students can hardly be overstated. Far from being an optional extra, the ability to communicate and cooperate is indispensable to a student's growth. To begin with, strong social skills lie at the heart of academic success. Much college learning happens through group projects, seminars and lab work, where students who express ideas clearly and listen to others achieve far more than those who work in isolation. Moreover, these skills pave the way for future careers. Employers today value teamwork and communication as highly as professional knowledge, and graduates who can network and collaborate stand out in interviews. Equally important, good social skills help students build friendships, ease loneliness and adapt to campus life smoothly. Therefore, developing social skills is by no means a trivial matter but a genuine necessity for every college student. Universities and students alike should treat it as seriously as academic study, so that young people can thrive both on campus and beyond.

参考译文
The Winter Solstice is the day on which daytime is the shortest and night is the longest in the whole year, marking the beginning of the coldest period of the year. After the Winter Solstice, the temperature drops lower and lower, and people's outdoor activities gradually decrease. Since there is not much work to do in the fields, farmers are mainly busy with maintaining the irrigation system and protecting crops from freezing, while preparing for next spring's sowing. Chinese people have always attached great importance to the Winter Solstice and regard it as a festival in many places, though the ways of celebrating it vary from place to place. Northerners have the custom of eating jiaozi on the Winter Solstice, while Southerners have the tradition of eating tangyuan on this day.
