10、g as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family, he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses
11、to talk to others, and Im very worried about him. Can you help?” I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically. T
12、he first two times we met, David didnt say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me. l suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoonin complete silence and without looking at me. Its not
13、 easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice. Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
14、“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. Its your turn, he said. After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicy
15、cle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life. Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one without any wordscan reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a sh

19、isk of illness in both men and women.In the first study, researchers examined the connection between body mass index (BMI) and liver cirrhosis(肝硬化) in 1.2 million middle-aged women. Each woman was followed for 6.2 years.Compared to the women of a healthy weight, the women who were overweight had an
20、increased risk of liver cirrhosis. And through the study we can see that alcohol is dangerous for peoples health.For example, among the women who were reported drinking about a third to half a drink a day,0.8 in 1,000 would go to the hospital with liver cirrhosis or would die from liver cirrhosis ov

However, among the women who were reported drinking two and a half drinks a day ,2.7 in 1,000 would go to the hospital with liver cirrhosis or would succumb to liver cirrhosis over five years if they wer
22、e of healthy weight compared with 5 in 1,000 women who were overweight.In the second study, researchers surveyed the influence of BMI and drinking on the body in more than 9,000 men. They were followed for 29 years.Both BMI and drinking were connected with liver disease and, more importantly, if the
23、y worked together, the influence was greater than that of BMI or drinking alone. For example, overweight men who were reported drinking 15 or more units per week had the greatest risk of liver disease.Both studies show that, from a public health view, methods to reduce both excessive (过度的) drinking
24、and excessive body weight should reduce the chance of liver disease.12.What did the researchers mainly focus on in the first study?A.The connection between fatness and drinking.B.The influence of BMI and drinking on the body.C.The connection between BMI and liver cirrhosis.D.The reason why women are

28、ebate if we learn more about the U.N. and its history.The U.N. was started for two reasons. First, when the idea was born, people all over the world were tired of war. They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the worlds problems. 17 The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes. 18 National borders were beginning to lose their meaning. Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future. Only an international organization would be able to control moder
