Hotels were among the earliest facilities that bound the United States together. They were

. both creatures and creators of communities, as well as symptoms of the frenetic quest for community. Even in the first part of the nineteenth century, Americans were private, business and pleasure purposed. Conventions were the new occasions, and hotels were distinctively American facilities making conventions possible. The first national convention of a major party to choose a candidate for President (that of the National Republican party, which met on December 12, 1831, and nominated Henry Clay for President) was held in Baltimore, at a hotel that was then reputed to be the best in the country. The presence of Barnum's City Hotel in Baltimore, a six-story building with two hundred apartments helps explain why many other early national political Conventions were held there.

In the longer run, too. American hotels made other national conventions not only possible but pleasant and convivial. The growing custom of regularly assembling from afar the 'representatives of all kinds of groups—not only for political conventions, but also for commercial, professional, learned, and. vocational ones—in turn supported the multiplying hotels. By mid-twentieth century, conventions accounted for over third of the yearly room occupancy of all hotels in the nation, about eighteen thousand different conventions were held annually with a total attendance of about ten million persons.

Nineteenth-century American hotelkeepers, who were no longer the genial, deferential "hosts" of the eighteenth-century European inn, became leading citizens. Holding a large stake in the community, they exercised power to make it prosper. As owners or managers of the local "palace of the public", they were makers and shapers of a principal community attraction. Travelers from abroad were mildly shocked by this high social position.

The National Republican party is mentioned in line 8 as an example of a group______.

A．from Baltimore

B．of learned people

C．owning a hotel

D．holding a convention

Weight Worries May Start Early for Slim Women

There is a range of reasons why thin women think they're too heavy, but the distorted body image may often have its roots in childhood, the results of a new study suggest.

Researchers found that among more than 2400 thin women they surveyed, nearly 10 percent thought they were too heavy. (46)

According to the study authors, led by Dr. Susanne Kruger Kjaer of the Danish Cancer Society Copenhagen, " society's ideal" female body is moving toward an underweight physique (体格). (47)

To investigate body image among thin women, the researchers gave questionnaires (调查表)to 2, 443 women ages 27 to 38 whose body mass index was at the low end of normal. (48)

Overall, almost 10 percent of the women thought they were too heavy. Those who reported certain "severe life events" in childhood or adolescence, such as having a parent become ill or having their educational hopes dashed (使破灭) , were more likely than others to have a distorted body image. (49)

In contrast, traumatic (使人不快的)events in adulthood, such as serious illness or significant marital problems, were not related to poor body image, the researchers report. (50)

A. The same was true for women who started having sex or drinking alcohol when they were younger than 15 years old.

B. Experiences in childhood, including having an ill parent, or starting to drink or have sex at a particularly young age, were among the risk factors for having a distorted body image.

C. "Our results indicate that the risk of being dissatisfied with (one's) own body weight may be established early in life. "Kjaer and her colleagues write.

D. Research suggests that many normal-weight women wish to weigh less.

E. If worries have altered your appetite or weight, it will help to talk to someone about it.

F. The women were asked about factors ranging from childhood experiences to current exercise habits.

A Most Important Period in Greek

One of the most important periods in Greek history was the Hellenistic Age which began after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B. C., and lasted almost 200 years. It was during this time in history that Greek ideas and Greek culture spread into Egypt and throughout the Near East. A Greek state even existed (51) India. During the Hellenistic Age, there were great advances (52) in Greek scholarship in such areas as philosophy, science, religion, art and social justice. Important discoveries were made in the (53) . Eratosthenes, for instance, made an accurate calculation (54) the diameter of the earth, while Aristarchus declared that the earth (55) round. Social reformers attempted to (56) debt and (57) a program of land redistribution among the poor hut met with little success. Women achieved a better social (58) and among the middle class education became widespread.

Peace of mind was the great concern of the philosophers of the Hellenistic Age. The Stoics insisted that happiness could be achieved when (59) learned to accept the events which were (60) his control and, at the same time, did his duty. The Epicureans (61) the idea that moderation in pleasure and the avoidance of pain produced the desired result. The Cynics turned away from all desires and pleasures, and (62) pursuit of virtue. In religion, many Greeks (63) the worship of such Egyptian gods as Serapis and Isis.

Sleeping

People who sleep for more than eight hours a night do not live as long as those who sleep for six hours, according to the biggest study yet into sleep patterns and mortality

Scientists have no explanation for the findings and do not know if they mean people who like a lie-in (睡懒觉) can extend their lives by sleeping less.

Although it is a common belief that sleeping for at least eight hours a night is vital for health and well-being, the six-year study involving more than 1.1 million Americans older than 30 found that those who slept for less than eight hours were far from doing themselves any long-term harm.

"Individuals who now average 6.5 hours of sleep a night can be reassured that this is a safe amount of sleep. From a health standpoint, there is no reason to sleep longer, said Daniel Kripke, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at the University of California, San Diego.

Dr. Kripke said, "We don't know if long sleep periods lead to death. Additional studies are needed to determine if setting your alarm clock earlier will actually improve.The scientists，who were funded by the American Cancer Society, found that the best survival rates were among the men and women who slept for seven hours a night. Those who slept for eight hours were 12 per cent more likely to die during the six-year period of the study, when other factors such as diet and smoking were taken into account.

Even those who spent a mere five hours a night in bed lived longer than those who slept eight or more hours. However, an increasing death rate was found among those who slept for less than five hours.

Dr. Kripke said, "Previous sleep studies have indicated that both short- and long-duration (持续时间) sleep had higher mortality rates. However, none of those studies were large enough to distinguish the difference between seven and eight hours a night, until now."
