Scientists have found evidence of a link between social and economic status and childhood attention deficit disorder(ADHD)(注意力缺陷多动障碍)in the UK. A team led by the University
of Exeter Medical School analysed data from the Millennium Cohort Study, a database of
more than 19, 500 UK children born between 2000 and 2002 .The study was published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry.
Findings showed that more children with ADHD came from families below the poverty line than the UK population as a whole, with average family incomes for households whose painting. Do as I say without questioning it. It will work.” painting to his master. Master took that gracefully and smiled.
study child was affected by ADHD at ￡324 per week, compared to ￡391 for those whose child was not. The study found the odds (机会)of parents in social housing having a child with ADHD was roughly three times greater than for those who owned their own homes.
The team also found that the odds of younger mothers having a child with ADHD were significantly higher than for other mothers. Mothers with no qualifications were more than twice as likely to have a child with ADHD than those with degrees, and lone (孤独的)parents were more likely to have a child with ADHD diagnosis than households with two live-in parents.
Information was gathered from surveys when the cohort children were nine months old, and at the ages of three, five, seven and eleven.

with a disadvantaged social and economic background.

How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else).Registered dietitian(家) Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.
“Go for nutrient dense foods that contain a multiple of nutrients, ”she suggests, “For
example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee and cake.Or drink orange juice rath

er than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice------the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can't compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.
Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life; it's the foundation of a
healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance. According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you a super woman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.
“We need carbohydrates(碳水化合物) protein and fat---they are like the wood in the
fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,”she explains, \all, but in a very different proportion. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.” 32. From the first paragraph we know that working women ______. A. think cooking is especially complicated B. are likely to eat healthfully
C. are busy and not interested in cooking
D. do not share the same views with registered dietitians 33. In Paragraph 4, the underlined phrase means ______. A. a diet serving as medicine B. a search for a diet without fruits C. a research on a fruitless diet D. an effort with no results
34. Many women take it for granted, according to the passage that ______. A. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin B. staying thin and healthy are both possible C. a balanced diet can result in being fat D. vitamins are some kind of substitutes for food
35. By the sentence\
means ______.
A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human life B. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no value
C. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals D. without carbohydrates, protein and fat,vitamins and minerals are of no use 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分)
