She was very busy with her friends. Even when she was around, her door was shut more than usual. I felt a bit hurt. After

30、 all, we didn't have much time together before she went to college. I was already missing her, but she hadn't even left yet!The day finally came. When we arrived at the college, a wave of emotion swept over me. I tried to hold it back, but Sophie saw it in my face. She took out a beautiful b

37、unts for this inequalitytall people are just smarter than their height challenged peers, a new study finds.“As early as age threebefore schooling has had a chance to play a roleand throughout childhood, taller children perform significantly better on cognitive tests,” wrote Anne Case and Christina P

38、axson of Princeton University in a paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.The findings were based primarily on two British studies that followed children born in 1958 and 1970, respectively，through adulthood and a US study on height and occupational choice.Other studies have poi

39、nted to low self-esteem, better health that accompanies greater height, and social discrimination as culprits(罪犯) for lower pay for shorter people.But researchers Case and Paxson believe the height advantage in the job world is more than just a question of image.“As adults, taller individuals are mo

40、re likely to select into higher paying occupations that require more advanced verbal and numerical skills and greater intelligence, for which they earn handsome returns,” they wrote.For both men and women in the United States and the United Kingdom, a height advantage of four inches equated with a 1

41、0 percent increase in wages on average.But the researchers said the differences in performance crop up long before the tall people enter the job force. Prenatal care(產(chǎn)前護(hù)理) and the time between birth and the age of three are critical periods for determining future cognitive ability and height.“Prenat

42、al care and prenatal nutrition are just incredibly important, even more so than we already knew，” Case said in an interview.Since the study's data only included populations in the United Kingdom and the United States, the findings could not be applied to other regions, Case said.And how tall are

Taller people are smarter CSAN FRANCISCO Rising sea levels from climate change could wash away some of Californias most iconic beaches by the end of the century, along with hundreds of mil

47、lions of dollars in property, according to a new study.“If beaches disappear, shrink and erode（受到侵蝕）, we are going to have less tourism,” said Phillip King, an associate professor of economics at San Francisco State University. “We took the best available science, and its possible the (estimated) co

48、sts are still too low.”Economists at the university spent two years projecting economic losses from climate change at San Franciscos Ocean Beach and the communities of Carpinteria, Malibu, Venice and Torrey Pines State Reserve near San Diego.Based on forecasts calling for sea levels to rise between

49、1 and 2 meters by the year 2100, the researchers invented models predicting which properties, infrastructure (基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施), wildlife habitats and open spaces will be flooded or eroded, and the value of those losses.They also surveyed existing reports to determine how costly it would be to protect or replac

50、e those coastal resources.Venice Beach stands to be the hardest hit of the five shorelines studied, with a 2-meter rise in sea level over the next 90 years resulting in $96 million in losses, according to the report. A 1-meter increase over the same period would cause $31.6 million in losses there.A

51、 more comprehensive 2009 study by the Pacific Institute, an environmental think tank, concluded that nearly 500,000 people and $100 billion worth of property along Californias entire coast were at risk of severe flooding from rising sea levels this century unless new safeguards were put in place.The
