The study, by Georgetown University soci

36、ologist (社會(huì)學(xué)家) Robert Manning, blamed credit card issuers for actively targeting students and colleges for allowing them to do so. "The unrestricted selling of credit cards in universities or colleges is so aggressive that it now forms a greater threat than alcohol or sexual diseases," Man

37、ning told a news conference in Washington. "If we do not quickly deal with this serious problem, the matter will continue to get worse, with social consequences far more tragic (悲劇的) than mere dollars and cents. "Based on hundreds of face-to-face interviews and surveys with students, Manni

38、ng concluded both the number with credit card debt and their indebtedness had been "underreported" in previous studieswhich failed to reflect the "survival strategies" many used to deal with their debts. These included the use of federal student loans to pay off credit cards, eff

39、ectively shifting the debt, appealing to parents for loans, reducing course work hours to increase time at paid jobs, or even dropping out altogether to work full time."Official drop-out rates include growing numbers of students who are unable to cope with the stress of their debts and / or par

40、t time jobs for servicing their credit cards, " the study said. "Students credit card debts are examined during the employment process and may be an important factor in evaluating future employees," it noted. ODonnell and Manning agreed students should bear some responsibility for rec

41、kless use of credit, but said credit card companies also had to be held responsible for making it so easy for them to get into debt. Manning said one of the most troublesome aspects of the student credit card issue was "the seduction (誘惑) of college and university officials by the credit card i

42、ndustry".63. Sociologist Robert Manning's study shows that . A. the number of American college students using credit cards on campus is increasing B. more and more American college students meet with credit card debt problems C. more and more American colleges encourage students to use cred

45、 regularDSmaller babies tend to have lower IQs, even if the children are in the normal weight range, a new study shows.While the differences are too small to have any practical significance for individuals, they might be important at a population level.Researchers at Columbia University and the New

46、York Academy of Medicine have examined the relationship between birth weight and intelligence measured at age seven in over 3,000 children in the normal weight range.They found that on average , IQ at age seven was directly related to birth weight, even after factors such as the mothers age, race, e

47、ducation and socioeconomic status(社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)地位)were taken into account.Many studies have shown low birth weight babies(those born weighting less than 2,500 grams) have lower IQ test scores at school ageand the smaller the babies, the larger the IQ deficit(不足).There is also previous evidence that the assoc

48、iation could apply to normal birth weight children (more than 2,500 grams) as well, but biases(偏重) in past studies from differences in family environment might have twisted the results.The new study showed the association between birth weight and IQ was stronger in boys than girls, with a 1,0000g in

49、crease in birth weight related to a 4.6 increase in IQ among boys but only 2.8 points in girls.The authors say differences in IQ of this size are small and of no great importance to individual children.But since seven times as many children are born in the normal weight range compared to the low ran

50、ge, even small shifts in the distribution of birth weight within the normal range could affect the distribution of intelligence in the population as a whole."It may therefore be important to identify the sources of variation(變化)in birth weight that are both controllable by intervention(干涉)and l

51、inked to improved cognitive(認(rèn)識(shí)的) ability," the study said.The findings might also help shed light on the connection between fetal(胎兒的) growth and brain development.67.On whom is the new study carried out?.A. Seven-year-olds born in the normal weight range.B. Seven-year-olds born in the low weig

Seven-year-olds with lower IQs68.Why didnt people notice the relationship between birth weight and IQ among children with normal birth weight in past studies?A. Because they didnt examine children with normal birth weight.B. Because they didnt consider o

53、ther factors such as the mothers age.C. Because they put too much weight on differences in family environment.D. Because there was no practical significance for individual children.69.What is the IQ difference between two have a birth weight difference of 2 kilograms?A. The heavier one has an IQ 2.8

The mothers education.EInsurance companies provide a service to the community by protecting it against expected and unexpected disasters. Before an insurance company will agree to insure anything, it collect

56、s accurate figures about the risk. It knows, for example, that the risk of a man being killed in a plane accident is less than the risk he takes in crossing a busy road. This enables it to quote(報(bào)價(jià)) low figures for travel insurance. Sometimes the risk may be high, as in motor-racing or mountaineering. Then the company charges a much higher price. If too many climbers have accidents, the price rises further. If the majority of climbers fall off mountains, the company will refuse to insure them.An ordinary householder may wish to protect his home against fire or his property ag
