Education and academic quality can mean different things to different people, dependingon their perspective, role and context and, [答案 E] , quality is notoriously difficult toevaluate. The question of how to do this has been pursued for many years.
Nevertheless, the goal of improving educational quality is agreed by all and stimulatedfurther by the recent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of[答案 C]and prepare for economic recovery.
As the World Bank and UNESCO said 10 years ago： The quality of knowledge generated withinhigher education institutions, and its availability to the wider economy, is becomingincreasingly critical to national competitiveness. They also rightly emphasized that[答案D] at the national level opens up the possibility that substantial additional public benefitscan be realized through international links.

Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study publishedTuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3, 000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. Theresearchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests intheir 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-termbenefits, says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who ledthe study being published in The Lancet Global Health.
Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby' s health. This isespecially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby givenformula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months thanone who' s breast-fed. In the U. S. , some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raisea baby' s IQ（智商） by a few points. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹） found littleadvantage to breast-feeding.
Horta says these previous studies didn' t follow children into adulthood to see ifbreast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3, 493 volunteershe and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, theresearchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more hadIQ test scores that were 3. 76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than onemonth, the team found.
When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten andhow much money they were making, they also found a clear difference： Those who were breast-fedthe longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were abouta third higher.
1. From the passage, we learn that Horta[A].
[答案] A. is from Brazil
2. Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned？ [B]
[答案] B. They were happier
C. They were smarter
