at least a two-week supply of water and food.Potatoes Shelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool,dry,dark place Yukon Gold,red,and fingerling potatoes will last from two to three weeks.Larger white potatoes can last for three to five weeks.Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life.Dont store them next to onions,however.The two might go together well in cooking,but raw,each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to spoil faster.Tea Shelf life：6 to 12 months past sell-by date Dried tea leaves,whether loose(in a sealed container)or in teabags(in an unopened box)can easily last a year or more if they re not subjected to damp or humidity.However,the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.Peanuts Shelf life：1 to 2 months Peanuts in their shell,especially when kept cool and dry,are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as two months.Canned fruits and vegetables Shelf life：1 to 2 years past sell-by”date Canningis an extremely efficient means of preserving

using eye contact and vocalisations(发声)at the age of one are more likely to develop greater languages skills by the time they reachtwo,according to new research.In the study,researchers looked at 11-and 12-month-od babies vocalisations.gestures and gaze behaviours,and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure he interactions,the researchers videoed infants(婴儿)and caregiver at home,and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to the university The scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months was when infants were seen to use vocalsatioms while looking at their caregivers face when they were about a year old.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregiver.The statistics showed that at 19 months,children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited the beneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words.The message of this paper is thatitis the result of a joint effort;noticing what your child is attending to and talking to them about it will support their language development.said McGillion,a co-author of the work.The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context.across any part of your day.Its not something that requires special equipment or even lots of time.I can happen when youre doing the laundry,for examplewhen youre taking out the socks,you can talk about socks.in the park,in the car,at mealtimes,at bathtimes.This finding can be used in any context,added McGillion.This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life,but children are constantly growing and changing and so are their behaviours.It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progress through the second year of life to see whats happening there,said Donnellan,the lead author on the study.8.How did the researchers get the

a new Swedish study.In the study,researchers from the Swedish Institute for Social Research inStockholmfound that a womans level of education had a stronger connection to the likelihood of her husband dying over education.Whats more,they discovered that a husbands social class,based on his occupation,had a greater influence on his wifes longevity(长寿)than her own class.“Women traditionally take more responsibility for the home than men do,and,as a result,womens levels of education might be more important for determining lifestylesfor example,in terms of food choicesthan those of men,”say Srs.Robert Erikson and Jenny Torssander of the Swedish Institute for Social Research inStockholm.The results show that a husbands level of education does not influence his longevity,but that men with partners who had quit studying after school were 25 per cent more likely to die early than men living with women holding university degrees.In turn,those married to women with university degrees were 13 percent more likely to die early than those whose wives had post-graduate qualifications.According to the researchers,a woman with a good education may not marry a man who drinks and smokes too much or who drives carelessly,and men with such habits may not prefer highly educated woman.Drs.Erikson and Torssander also suggest that better-educated women may be more aware of what healthy eating and good health care consist of.The findings suggest that education has a huge impact on how long and how well people live.It also reflects social factors,since educated individuals usually have better jobs,which allow them to afford healthier diets and lifestyles,as well as better health care.12.In this passage the author intends to _.A.present the results of a study B.encourage women to get higher education C.analyze the relationship between education and life D.discuss why women usually live longer than men 13.A woman with higher education is likely to _.A.teach her children well B.earn

women dont marry uneducated men D.a mans longevity depends on not only his wifes level of education but also his own 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Taiwan and New
