19、t? Its the kids of course. Whatever the setting, the question I get asked the most is “ Will the kids be alright?” It made me realize that we tend to look at the glass half-empty rather than half-filled when it comes to blending work and family. We forget about all the benefits that we bring to our

20、children when we work-and Im not talking about the obvious financial benefits, although these of course shouldnt be taken for granted. About a year ago I remember getting a call from the school just as I was pulling up to the house after having driving 20 minutes to the school and 20 minutes back. “

21、 Mrs Brown Quinn, your son asked us to call. He forgot his sports clothes. Can you come back to the school and drop them off?” I was exasperated(恼火的)! I had already spent 40 minutes in aggressive weekday morning traffic. I replied, “ Sorry, Im working at the moment. Im afraid my son needs to learn t

22、o be organized.” Being a good parent requires delivering tough love sometimes. Kids need to learn to be independent. It can be a cruel and competitive world out there. Pursuing interests, including business, outside of your kids, can give you that extra perspective that you need not overwhelm your k

23、ids with attention. This benefit of working isnt always immediately evident. It wasnt until our daughter went away to college that she realized why we ( a dual ( 双的) career couple) had raised her in the way that we did. “ Mom ,I cant believe how so many of my friends struggle to manage things on the

24、ir own. They are constantly calling their parents for help.” You will love that moment ! After all those years of complaining about why you dont do this or why you dont give them that, your kids realize that tough love has made them better people.41.T he author refused to drop off her sons sports cl

25、othes because_.A. she was caught in heavy traffic.B. she was busy working.C. she thought her son was lying.D. she wanted her son to be organized.42. How can kids become better people?A. By giving them all your attention.B. By giving them freedom to do things on their own.C. By showing them your deep

26、 love.D. By giving them tough love.43. The daughters attitude towards the author is _when she grows up. A. complaining B. caring C. understanding D, disappointed.44. The purpose of the author is to _.A. analyze a special benefit of working.B. advise us to blend work and family.C. argue for working m

27、others.D. describe her own experience in raising children. B Some fat children and adults who eat too much may be missing a gene for a brain chemical involved in controlling appetite, according to a study. Low levels of the chemical are also linked to long term memory loss and difficulties in sensin

28、g pain. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health examined 33 children and adults with a rare condition in which groups of genes have been deleted. Called WAGR syndrome(综合征)., the genetic aberration (反常现象)is found in about 250 people in the USA. Half of the people studied lacked one of two ge

29、nes for a brain chemical called brain-derived factor ( BDNF). The one missing the gene had low blood levels of the chemical. By age 10, all of those missing the gene were fat and reported a strong tendency to overeat. Those who had two working copies of the BDNF gene were no more likely to be fat in

30、 childhood or to report unusually higher levels of overeating than the general population. Scientists suspected that people within the group had abnormalities(反常) with the gene, and they believe a larger part of the population has the same problem. The missing gene may explain why some people cant seem to control their eating or lose weight, say Jack Yanovski, head of the Unit on Growth and Obesity at NIHs Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. “We suspect that BDNF has important tissues in many parts of the brain, including memory a
