Children who watch violent television shows are at an increased risk of aggression and violent behavior. as they become young adults. That's based on a fifteen-year study published in the current issue of the research journal Developmental Psychology.
Back in the late 1970's when this study began, among the top rated shows were 'Chafiie's Angels' and 'The Six Million Dollar Man'. These were the TV shows that many of the 557 children in Raul Huseman's study were watching when they were six to ten years old. By today's standards these shows may not seem that violent, but there was a significant amount of on-screen physical violence in them. Huseman, from the University of Michigan, analyzed the types and amounts of violence in these shows and also collected other information on the kids about their home life, their friends, their school life, and importantly their levels of aggressive behavior, tike who was getting into fights, who was pushing and shoving (猛推) others, who was stealing things.
Now fast-forward 15 years: Raul Huseman was able to track down over 80% of the boys and girls from the original study. He re-interviewed them, now in their mid-twenties, and talked to their spouses (配偶) and close friends and checked their criminal records. "We found that those children back then, when they were 6, 7, 8 or 8, 9, 10, who had been watching more media violence had grown up to be more aggressive young adults as compared to the young adults who had been just as aggressive in childhood but had not watched as much violent television."
"Most at-risk children are children who watch a steady diet of violent television shows, identify with the aggressors, who sometimes the heroes and the lead-characters in those shows, and who perceive the violence as being realistic and a model for how to act in real life."
The conclusion of the fifteen-year study is that ______.
A．children born in the 1970s would display more violent behavior. than other children
B．children who like to push and shove others when fighting would develop violent behavior. quickly
C．young adults are the group of people who are most influenced by violent TV
D．young people who watched violent TV shows in childhood tend to become aggressive

Whenever Catherine Brown, a 37-year-old journalist, and her friends, professionals in their 30s and early 40s, meet at a London cafe, their favorite topic of conversation is relationships: men's reluctance to commit, women's independence, and when to have children-or, increasing-Iy， whether to have them at all. "With the years passing my chances of having a child go down, but I won't marry anyone just to have a child," says Brown. To people like Brown, babies are great-if the timing is right. But they're certainly not essential.
In much of the world, having kids is no longer a given. "Never before has childlessness been an understandable decision for women and men in so many societies," says Frank Hakim at the London School of Economics. Young people are extending their child-free adulthood by postponing children until they are well into their 30s, or even 40s and beyond.
A growing share are ending up with no children at all. Lifetime childlessness in western Germany has hit 30 percent among university-educated women, and is rapidly rising among lower-classmen. In Britain, the number of women remaining childless has doubled in 20 years.
The latest trend of childlessness does not follow historic patterns. For centuries it was not unusual for a quarter of European women to remain childless. But in the past，childlessness was usually the product of poverty or disaster, of missing men in times of war. Today the decision to have-or not have-a child is the result of a complex combination of factors, including relationships, career opportunities, lifestyle. and economics.
In some cases childlessness among women can be seen as a quiet form. of protest. In Japan, support for working mothers hardly exists. Child care is expensive, men don't help out, and some companies strongly discourage mothers from returning to work. "In Japan, it's career or child，"says writer Kaori Haishi . It's not just women who are deciding against children; according to a re-cent study, Japanese men are even less inclined to marry or want a child. Their motivations, though, may have more to do with economic factors.
46. Catherine Brown and her friends feel that having children is not _________
[ A] totally wise
[ B] a huge problem
[ C] a rational choice
[ D ] absolutely necessary
Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends. Children were observed as they slowly grasped--or, as the case might be bumped into- concepts that adults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water pours from short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total. Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers--the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threenes that applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a table--is itself far from innate.
What does the passage mainly discuss？
A．Trends in teaching mathematics to children.
B．The use of mathematics in child psychology.
C．The development of mathematical ability in children.
D．The fundamental concepts of mathematics that children must learn.

Late-night Drinking
Coffee lovers beware. Having a quick "pick-me-up" cup of coffee late in the day will play havoc with your sleep. As well as being a stimulant, caffeine interrupts the flow of melatonin, the brain hormone that sends people into a sleep.
Melatonin levels normally start to rise about two hours before bedtime. Levels then peak between 2 am and 4 am, before falling again. "It's the neurohormone that controls our sleep and tells our body when to sleep and when to wake," says Maurice Ohayon of the Stanford Sleep Epidemiology Research Center at Stanford University in California. But researchers in Israel have found that caffeinated coffee halves the body's levels of this sleep hormone.
Lotan Shilo and a team at the Sapir Medical Center in Tel Aviv University found that six volunteers slept less well after a cup of caffeinated coffee than after drinking the same amount of decaf. On average, subjects slept 336 minutes per night after drinking caffeinated coffee, compared with 415 minutes after decal They also took half an hour to drop off — twice as long as usual — and jigged around in bed twice as much.
In the second phase of the experiment, the researchers woke the volunteers every three hours and asked them to give a urine sample. Shilo measured concentrations of a breakdown product of melatonin. The results suggest that melatonin concentrations in caffeine drinkers were half those in decal drinkers. In a paper accepted for publication in Sleep Medicine, the researchers suggest that caffeine blocks production of the enzyme that drives melatonin production.
Because it can take many hours to eliminate caffeine from the body, Ohayon recommends that coffee lovers switch to decaf after lunch.
The author mentions "pick-me-up" to indicate that
A．melatonin levels need to be raised.
B．neurohormone can wake us up.
C．coffee is a stimulant.
D．decaf is a caffeinated coffee.
