A. EVEN WITHOUT INTERNATIONAL LINKS

B. CHINESE STUDENTS AND ACADEMICS

C. THE CRISIS ON ECONOMIC GROWTH

D. A STRONG RESEARCH SYSTEM

E. IN PART BECAUSE OF THIS

Education and academic quality can mean different things to different people, depending on their

perspective, role and context and, {A; B; C; D; E}, quality is notoriously difficult to evaluate. 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 stimulated further by the

recent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of {A; B; C; D; E} and

prepare for economic recovery.

As the World Bank and UNESCO said 10 years ago: “The quality of knowledge generated within higher

education institutions, and its availability to the wider economy, is becoming increasingly critical to

national competitiveness.” They also rightly emphasized that “{A; B; C; D; E} at the national level opens

up the possibility that substantial additional public benefits can be realized through international links.”

This is precisely why {A; B; C; D; E} should contribute to these global benefits, reforming and improving

evaluation systems for educational and academic quality. Original and good research, especially in

science, economics and social sciences, has a trickle-down effect on society. And it offers additional

benefits {A; B; C; D; E}, though international collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy

and practice can bring substantial advantages to all partners in relation to lessons learned elsewhere.”

Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday

suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found

those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 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-term benefits, ” says

Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in

The Lancet Global Health.

Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby’s health. This is especially true in

poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing

countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed. In the U.S.,

some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby’s IQ（智商）by a few points. But a

recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding.

Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had

long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have

been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests.

Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than

those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.

When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much

money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed the longest

stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.

1. From the passage, we learn that Horta {A; B; C}.

A. is from Brazil

B. conducts his research in the U.S.

C. has 30 researchers on his team

2. Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned?{A; B; C}

A. They stayed longer in school

B. They were happier

C. They were smarter

3. Which of the following is TRUE?{A; B; C}

A. Doctors don’t understand the benefits of breast-feeding.

B. Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries.

C. Horta’s research project lasted about 30 years

4. The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to {A; B; C}.

A. finished

B. interested

C. polluted

5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?{A; B; C}

A. Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feeding

B. Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of Formula

C. Breast-feeding Improves Chances of Success”

profits instead of quality.
