16、 one of the prison trains to Germany or Poland. So many people in his city had disappeared since the Nazis came to Amsterdam in 1940. The streets, once crowded with busy shoppers, were now filled with tanks and soldiers. No one felt safe, except maybe the collaborators(通敌者). Who were they? Who would

17、 betray their friends and let their neighbors be arrested? Ulrich remembered his friend Anna: her father had a small business right down the road from his house. Her sister, Margot, was in the upper school, where Ulrichs sister was in her class. When he walked to or from school, Ulrich studied the f

18、aces of the people on the street. Some looked concerned and cast their eyes downward as they walked, trying not to be noticed. His own parents had that look, like ghosts walking and wondering what had happened to them. The ones that bothered him were those who smiled, who acted like nothing was wron

19、g. “Were they blind?” he wondered. Worse were those who moved into the houses and took the businesses of their missing neighbors. They seemed too assured, too content. They may be Dutch, Ulrich thought, but they are the enemy, too. They were the ones who made the occupation easy. He hoped that when

20、the war was over, the rightful owners would come back and toss them out on their ears. School was not the same either. It was more than the missing students, though that was the biggest part of it. The teachers, who once seemed to know everything, were different, too. They seemed afraid to teach his

21、tory, afraid that the authorities would not like what they said. They jumped when a student dropped a book. It was as if they all had to hold their breath. It was nearly spring. Already tulips were fighting their way out of the cold ground. How many more winters, springs, summers, and falls would go

24、e last paragraph?A. Tulips reminded Ulrich of his friend Anna. B. It took a long time before tulips grew up.C. Tulips stood for hopes in Ulrichs eye.D. He liked springs best of all seasons.B Could eating fast food be bad for more than just your health? New research has found proof that eating foods

25、high in sugar and fat could also be bad for your IQ. Researchers from the United Kingdom and Canada looked at what children ate when compared to their IQ levels. The researcher used surveys to ask parents how often their children ate junk food. The parents were surveyed when the children were aged 3

26、, then followed up 5 years later to see how the diet affected the growing childrens IQ. They found that those who ate more junk food had lower IQ levels than those who ate a more nutritious diet. “This suggests that any cognitive(认知的) effects relating to eating habits early in childhood may well con

27、tinue to exist in later childhood, despite any later changes (including improvements) to dietary intake,” the authors wrote. The researchers found that dietary habits between the ages of 4 and 7 did not have as much of an effect as what children ate at age 3 did. This may be because the brain grows

28、the quickest during the first three years of life, and thus is more easily affected by things such as diet. “A possible explanation for this is that the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life. Studies have shown that head growth during this time is associated with cogni

29、tive outcome, and it is possible that good nutrition during this early period may encourage brain growth,” the researchers wrote. The researchers point out that they have found an association between food and IQ, but not a direct cause or effect. Other factors could have played a role in determining

30、 a childs IQ. Parenting, genetics, and even family income are all factors that determine how intelligent a child will be. Despite this, nutritionists tell us that what children eat can affect how healthy they are, how much rest they get, how smart they are during school. All of these things could ch

31、ange a childs test on IQ level. It is not clear whether food affects IQ directly or indirectly. More research is needed to determine if there is a direct effect between what a child eats and how intelligent they are. However, the study does suggest that there may be more reasons than just physical health to make sure a child gets a healthy diet.32. What is the best title for the passage? A. New Research on Healthy Diet B. Diets Determine Our IQ Level C. Childrens Health and Junk Food D. Junk Food Lowers Your IQ33. Researchers surveyed the parents _. A. when the children were b
