Is losing weight as simple as doing a 15-minute writing exercise? In a new study, women who wrote about their most important values, like close relationships or religion, lost more weight over the next few months than women who didn't. "We have this need to feel self-integrity (正直,诚实）,” says Christine Logel of the University of Waterloo. "When something threatens your sense that you're a good person, like failing a test, we can buffer（缓冲） that self-integrity by reminding ourselves how much we love our children, for example".
For this study, the researchers recruited 45 female undergraduates, of whom 58% were overweight. Each woman was weighed, and was then given a list of important values, like creativity, music or relationships with friends and family members. Each woman ranked the values in order of how important they were to her. Then half the women were told to write for 15 minutes about the value that was most important to her. The other half, a control group, were told to write about why a value far down on their list might be important to someone else.
The women came back months later to be weighed again. Women who had written about an important value lost an average of 3.41 pounds, while women in the control group gained an average of 2.76 pounds.
"How we feel about ourselves can have a big effect," Logel says. Maybe when one of the women who wrote about an important value went home that night, she felt good about herself and didn't eat to make herself feel better. Over a few months, that could make a real difference in her life,
60. How can a 15-minute writing exercise of important values affect people?
A. They will feel proud of themselves and gain weight gradually.
B. They may feel good about themselves and then eat less than usual.
C. They may continue writing and decide to become a professional writer.
D. They will never have meals at night to make themselves lose weight.
61. What were the females required to do in the study?
A. Only the control group was given a list of important values.
B. Both groups ranked the values in order of importance to them.
C. Each woman was weighed three times in the process of the study.
D. The overweight women wrote about the value most important to them.
62. Which of the following persons may lose weight according to the new study?
A. Mary who wrote about her own adventure.
B. Catherine who described her illness in her writing.
C. Shirley who wrote how much she loved her children.
D. Alice who complained her boss in her diary.
63. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Writing Benefits Women a Lot
B. Losing Weight Is Very Simple
C. Writing Contributes to Losing Weight
D. Women Values Losing Weight

Most recently, it's very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews. Naturally, it's easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us. We—as parents—are so eager to shelter our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them. As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself constantly that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me. So, I'll let them fail．
I'll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow. And failure along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc.—will be part of growth for them. Call me the anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone is, my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it today. From terrorism and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish.
My children now are becoming little masters of compromise, but they try to negotiate everything now. It's a small price to help them learn a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don't accompany them on job interviews.
64. Why do parents accompany their kids on job interviews?
A. Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties．
B. Because they think they can help them on the questions．
C. Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews．
D. Because their kids strongly request them to do so．
65. According to the author, what is beneficial to kids' development?
A. Sheltering them．
B. Keeping them safe．
C. Leaving them alone．
D. Blaming them．
66. Why does the author stress failure in kids' life?
A. To make them stronger than other kids．
B. To help them grow in this tough world．
C. To help them develop all social skills．
D. To make them learn to compromise．
67. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Never Shelter Your Kids
B. Let Your Kids Fail
C. Be Eager to Grow Up
D. Live Without Parents
D
Several recent studies have found that being randomly assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood of conflict.
Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.
An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.
In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."
Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.
According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.
An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.
Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.
At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.
"One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."
"I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations."
The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.
Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.
68. What can we learn from some recent studies?
A. Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.
B. Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.
C. Interracial lodging does more harm than good.
D. Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.
69. What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?
A. White students tend to look down upon their black peers.
B. Black students can compete with their white peers academically.
C. Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the
freshman year.
D. Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.
What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?
A. The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.
B. Students of different races are required to share a room.
C. Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.
D. Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.
