It was the first all-baby group study ever to be conducted. “Most studies of babies concentrate on the infant-mother relationship, assuming that is the single foundation for mental health, but babies are constantly involved with groups of people other than their mothers fathers, siblings, grandparents and those taking care.

Therefore, the ‘mother-baby approach’ needs to be combined with a ‘group approach’,” said Bradley.

Phoebe Christison, a child-care worker at Camperdown Sunshine Bubs in Sydney’s inner west, said she often noticed what appeared to be emotional attachments developed between toddlers.

She said, “Joel（2014 months）and Isabella（11 months）always like to hold hands when they sit in their high chairs and eat. And babies definitely show jealousy. They push and touch each other, and copy what the other is doing.”

46. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE? A. It’s the first study to look at all-baby groups. B. It divides babies according to their personalities. C. Its aim is to change the way of child care. D. Its results are unbelievable.

47. A baby who has a depressed mother _________.

A. tends to be a follower B. also enjoys group interaction

C. has poor social ability D. pays more attention to its mother

48. What can be inferred from the result of this study? A. Babies are affected by groups more than by their mothers.

B. There’s no need of child-care centers at all.

C. Adults should include babies when having social activities. D. The normal infant-mother bond alone isn’t enough for the good mental health for babies.

49. The underlined word “toddlers” in Para. 8 can be replaced by “_________”.

A. adults B. infants C. peers D. groups

50. The example given in the last paragraph proves that a baby ________.

A. is born to be friendly to other babies

B. has interest in peers as well as in its mother C. may have emotional attachments to another baby D. shows jealousy and generousness as an adult

Want to lose weight? Try eating. That’s one of the ways being

developed by scientists experimenting with foods that trick the body into feeling full.

At he Institute of Food Research in Norwich, England, food expert Peter Wilde and his colleagues are developing foods that slow down the digestive system, which then sends a signal to the brain that stops appetite. “That fools you into thinking you’ve eaten far too much when you really haven’t,” said Wilde. From his studies on fat digestion, he said it should be possible to make foods, from bread to yoghurt, that make it easier to diet. While the research is still in its early stages, Wilde’s approach to controlling appetite is one that some doctors say could be a key to solving the problem of obesity.

“Being able to switch off appetite would be a big help for people having trouble losing weight,” said Steve Bloom, a professor of investigative medicine at London’s Imperial College, who is not connected to Wilde’s research. Bloom said that regulating appetite

through foods is theoretically possible. But Bloom warned that

controlling appetite may be very challenging. “The body has lots of things to prevent its regulatory systems from being tricked,” he said.

Wilde’s research makes use of the body’s ways of digesting fat. Fat normally gets broken down in the first part of the small intestines（肠道）. When you eat a high-fat meal, however, the body can only digest the fat entirely further down in the intestines, which then causes the body to produce a kind of chemical to stop the appetite. Wilde’s approach copies what happens with a high-fat meal. He coats fat droplets（滴）in foods with modified proteins from plants, so it takes longer for the chemical that breaks down fat to reach it. That means that the fat isn’t digested until it hits the far reaches of the intestines. At that point, intestinal cells send a signal telling the brain it’s full. Even though the body hasn’t had a high-fat meal, it stops the appetite as if it has. If the fat had been

digested earlier in the intestines, no such signal would be sent. 51. According to Wilde’s research, what could people do if they want to lose weight?

A. Eat more bread and yoghurt. B. Trick the body by eating nothing.

C. Have foods with fat droplets coated. D. Control their digestive system strictly.

52. The underlined word “obesity” in Para. 2 most probably means “________”.

A. being too fat B. eating too much food C. stopping appetite D. being unhealthy 53. What can be inferred about Professor Bloom’s opinion towards Wilde’s approach?

A. It won’t work since the body’s regulatory systems will never be tricked.

B. It is sure to switch off the appetite of people with a weight problem.

C. It sounds terrible because regulating appetite through foods is not practical at all.

D. It’s no that easy to trick the body so more research should be done.

54. Which of the following is TRUE about Wilde’s approach? A. A kind of chemical is added to make a high-fat meal less fatty. B. Fat is digested earlier and the body sends a signal telling the brain it’s full.

C. Fat won’t get broken down in the first part of the small intestines.

D. The chemical that breaks down fat will not reach the fat. 55. The passage is written to ________.

A. give advice on how to stop eating high-fat meals B. introduce a research on controlling appetite C. discuss the argument between two professors D. show different ways to trick the body
