The study followed more than 3, 000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula 配方奶粉 .Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby' s health. This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who' s breast-fed. In the U. S. , some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby' s IQ智商 by a few points. But a recent study with siblings兄弟姐妹 found little advantage to breast-feeding.Horta says these previous studies didn' t follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3, 493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been follog since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3. 76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference： Those who were breast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.1.

READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT SUB-TITLE (A-D) FOR EACH PARAGRAPH.A. THE INEXACTITUDE OF LANGUAGEB. PREVENTING MISUNDERSTANDINGSC. INTERCULTURAL MUNICATIOND. FOSTERING RESPECTE. AVOIDING CONFLICTSPara 1答案 CIntercultural munication refers to messages transmitted between members of two or more different societies. Effective intercultural munication helps firms avoid conflict, prevent misunderstandings, and foster respect.Para 2答案 EThe workplace is grog more diverse every day. Managers cannot assume that what they find inoffensive will also be inoffensive to their subordinates. A lack of sensitivity can lead to claims of discrimination or harassment, which costs firms big money. Intercultural munication involves exercising sensitivity and tact to avoid such conflicts.Para 3答案 AWe human beings have developed language to municate ideas to one another. Still, our language represents an imperfect form of munication. Sometimes, words cannot accurately convey an idea, because the information might be highly plex. Also, a concept that exists in one culture or language might not be part of another. Effective intercultural munication tries to bridge language gaps as effectively as possible so that everyone at the workplace finds themselves on the same page.Para 4答案 BGiven the inexactitude of language, misunderstandings can frequently arise between people from different cultures when they exchange information. Idioms often bee lost in translation. For exle, the English expression to shoulder responsibility translates into Swedish as be a man for your hat. Intercultural munication does not rely on expressions native to a particular language that could lead to confusion； rather, it relies on clear messages that all parties understand.Para 5答案 Dmunication hens differently in various cultures. What one society finds acceptable may be anathema to another. When coworkers from different cultures do not take these differences into account, not only does munication suffer but conflicts e to the fore. Effective intercultural munication does not try to ignore societal differences； rather, it respects the variations among the human race and enables people to transmit information clearly. 選擇題Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman' s house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so Maggie' s mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student,especially in math.After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young people. This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In 1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31. 61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3, 400 members to 50, 000 members. The organization bought a $100, 000 office building and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step.1.

The sender is responsible for successful conveyance. The sender' s personality, beliefs, cultural and educational background all influence the message and it is important for the sender to be aware of this as he or she is encoding the message. Simply put, encoding is translating information into symbols that represent the ideas or concepts of the message that needs sending. These symbols are usually words in written or spoken form. To ensure successful munication, the sender should know as much about his or her audience the receiver as possible in order to focus and support the encoding process.In addition to this awareness of self and encoding, the sender must choose the proper channel for conveying the message. Using the wrong channel may result in mismunication. Like the sender, receivers are influenced by internal factors： their personality, their receptivity to the message or their relationship to the sender. Additionally, their current feelings, mood,or state of mind can affect a message. Once the message moves through the channel, the receiver then decodes it. The receiver uses his or her own experience and the context of the message to interpret its meaning.Feedback is the return message from the receiver to the sender. It is feedback that enables the sender to know whether the message was received successfully or not. Therefore it is essential to the munication process.This process, though very mon, is fraught with potential breakdown at every turn. Spoken or written language is inherently easy to misinterpret. In conclusion, effective and successful munication takes place when the message is successfully received and the receiver provides the sender with desirable feedback.1. The sender' s gender also influences the message. 答案 F2. Encoding is a process that translating information into symbols which serve as the ideasor concepts of the message that will be sent later. 答案 T3. These symbols are usually words and sentences in written form. 答案 F4. Channel is not crucial for conveying the message. 答案 F5. Feedbacks enable the sender to know whether the receiver has received the message successfully or not. 答案 T單元自測(cè) 6 試題及答案題目為隨機(jī)， 用查找功能CtrlF 搜索題目題目 Are you on holiday here？ _.答案 No, we aren' t.

Social work has its roots in charity,as it originally began around the time of the industrial revolution when there were many poor people and society was seeking a way of dealing with the poor and social problems. Although social work began as charity work, it has expanded a lot and needs to be seen from a pletely different perspective.Modern-day social work deals not only with poverty and the subsequent problems, but also with the problems arising from various types of social fear (social phobias) and discrimination such as sexism, racism, and discrimination against an individual due to his age, or mental or physical disabilities. Social workers deal with the consequences of these discriminations as well as consequences that arise from sexual abuse, drug abuse, and various other problems. Social work provides an important service to society. Individuals and families in need of help are the focus of it, and are re ferred to as clients. Social workers help clients live a productive life in their own munity. In order to reach this goal, they oft
