A report by the scientists, from the United States and Tanzania, appeared in the New England Journal of M

34、edicine. Wafaie Fawzi of the Harvard University School of Public Health led the study. None of the women in the study had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The scientists reported earlier that daily multivitamins were a low-cost way to reduce fetal deaths in pregnant women infected with HIV. The earl

35、ier work in Tanzania also found improvement in the mothers in their number of blood cells known as lymphocytes. Lymphocytes increase the body's immunity against infection.The new study in pregnant women who were not infected with the AIDS virus found that multivitamins reduced the risk of low bi

36、rth weight. Just under eight percent of the babies born to women who took the multivitamins weighed less than 2,500 grams. The rate was almost nine and one-half percent in the group of women who received a placebo, an inactive pill, instead of the vitamins. But the vitamins did not do much to reduce

42、r its frank description of aspects of the lives of Scotland's poor rural farmers, it has been adapted for stage, film, TV and radio in recent decades.The novel is set on the fictional estate of Kinraddie, in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to and beyond World War I.

43、 At its heart is the story of Chris, who is both part of the community and a little outside it.Grassic Gibbon gives us the most detailed and intimate account of the life of his heroine. We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard-working father; experience tragedy (her moth

44、er's suicide and murder of her twin children); and learn about her feelings as she grows into woman. We see her marry, lose her husband，then marry again. Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man.But it would be misl

45、eading to suggest that this book is just about Chris. It is truly a novel of a place and its people. Its opening section tells of Kinraddie's long history, in a language that imitates the place's changing patterns of speech and writing.The story itself is amazingly full of characters and inc

46、idents. It is told from Chris' point of view but also from that of the gossiping community, a community where everybody knows everybody else's business and nothing is ever forgotten.Sunset Song has a social theme too. It is concerned with what Grassic Gibbon perceives as the destruction of t

47、raditional Scottish rural life first by modernization and then by World War I. Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war. Despite this, the war takes the young men away, a number of them to their deaths. In particular, it takes away Chris' husband, Ewan Tavendale. The war f

48、inally kills Ewan, but not in the way his widow is told. In fact, theGermans aren't responsible for his death, but his own side. He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle.If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead. It is a "Sunset Song" but

49、is concerned too with the new Kinraddie, indeed of the new European world. Grassic Gibbon Went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story.36. What is Sunset Song mainly about? A)The First World War. B)The beauty of the sunset. C)The new European world. D)The lives of rura

53、nd evening. What else can 1 do?" Basically you can do nothing. Your genes, not your life habits, determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it.Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania found from experiments that, "80 percent of the children of two obese paren

54、ts become obese, as compared with no more than 14 percent of the offspring of two parents of normal weight."How can obese people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well, dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous. Jules Hirsch, a research physician at Rockefeller Uni

55、versity, did a study of eight fat people. They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day. After more than 10 weeks, the subjects lost 45kg on average. But after leaving the hospital, they all regained. The results were surprising: by metabolic measurement, fat people who lost large am

56、ounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They had psychiatric problems. They dreamed of food or breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed; some were suicidal. They hid food in their rooms. Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesn't result in normal weigh

57、t, but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non-obese people.Thin people, however, suffer from the opposite: They have to make a great effort to gain weight. Ethan Sims, of the University of Vermont, got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months, they ate as much as they could. They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 percent. But months after the study ended, they were back to normal weight and stayed there.This d
