12、.The second shop,though slightly more polite,was just the same,and the third and the fourth-so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind.I placed the chair on the floor and said to the 江苏省淮海中学高三英语增十分工程-阅读理解与任务型阅读-201203081920-2020（38）2 shopkeeper,“Wou

19、 if plants had not been on land first.Plants had to be on land before animals arrived.They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity,since they,the plants,are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.The first plants to exist out of the water were prob

20、ably certain kinds of algae（海藻）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce.Once the move to land had been made,however,evolution（进化）took place quickly.By the end of 100 million years,plants had developed their roots（根）,and some had got tre

32、h notes,Americans are a marrying people:relative to Europeans,more of us marry and we marry at a younger age.Moreover,after a decline（衰退）in the early 1970s,the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing.Even the divorce（离婚）rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context:some 80 perc

33、ent of divorced individuals remarry.Thus,marriage remains by far the preferred way of life for the vast majority of the people in our society.What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.Twenty-five years ago,the typical American family consisted of the husband,the wife,and two or three

34、 children.Now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children,and there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wifes previous marriage,or the husbands,or both.Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former

35、 marriage;sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses（配偶）Thus,one can find every type of tamely arrangement.There are marriages without children;marriages with children from only the present marriages;marriages with“full-time”children from both the present and former marriages;marriages

36、 with“full-time”children from the present marriage and“part-time”children from former marriages.There are stepfathers,stepmothers,half-brothers and half-sisters.It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents!These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear

41、 disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades.Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others.She says one important factor in pe

42、oples health is the amount of education they have.In her most recent paper,Meara looked at data from the United States census.These counts of people occur every 10 years.Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades.“We looked at life expectancy（预测寿命）at age 25,”Meara says.“How many add

43、itional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school,or sooner?Versus how many years,can you expect to live if youve reached aged 25 and youve gone on to at least some college”Meara says they found that in 1990,a 25-year-old who only had some sec

44、ondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years.In 2000,a 25 year old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75.In contrast,for a better educated 25-year-old,they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990.Someone with a similar education level in the yea

45、r 2000,could expect to live to be more than 81 years,81.6 years to be exact.Meara says,not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with,but in the past ten years,more educated people has made gains in the length of their lives.Meanwhile,the life expectancy hasnt changed for less educated

46、 people.Some of these gains can be explained.Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes,or not start at all,compared to people with less education.“I think its a reminder not to be satisfactory,Meara says.Just because a population overall

47、 appears to be getting healthier,it doesnt always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population.And I think thats something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.”Meara points out that

48、education can often determine income-people with more education frequently make more money.This makes them aware of health care,and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier.But the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier.Meara

49、says education is key.People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health.Title The Amount of 1._Contributes to Peoples Health Comparisons The less educated people The 2._ educated people In 1990 They could live for 75 years They could live to the age of 80 In 20
