High Stress May Damage Memory
A ccording to a report issued in May 1998，elderly people who have consistency high blood levels of cortisol(皮质醇)don’t score as well on memory tests as their peers with lower levels of the stress hormone．What’s more．high levels of cortisol are also associated with shrinking of the hippocampus(海马区)，a region of the brain that plays a key role in learning and memory．
The findings suggest that even cortisol levels in the normal，“healthy” range can actually accelerate brain aging．
The study results” now provide substantial evidence that long—term exposure to adrenal(肾上腺的)stress hormones may promote hippocampal aging in normal elderly humans。”write Nada Porter and Philip Land field．Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress by the adrenal glands(腺)，which sit on top of the kidneys(肾)．
Over a 5-to 6-year period，Dr．Sonia Lupien and his colleagues measured 24-hour cortisol levels in 51 healthy volunteers，most of whom were in their 70s．
The researchers tested the volunteers’memory on six people in the increasin9/high category and five people in the decreasing/moderate group．The groups did not differ in tests of immediate memory，but the increasing/high cortisol group had other memory problems compared with those in the decreasing/moderate group．
The researchers also found that the total volume of the hippocampus in those in the increasing/high group was 14%lower than those in the decreasing/moderate group，although there were no differences in other brain regions．
The results suggest that“…brain aging can be accelerated by levels of adrenal hormones that are not generally regarded as pathological(病态的)and that variation within this normal range is related to variation in the rate of brain aging，”write Porter and Land field．“This further suggests that chronic stress may accelerate the worsening of{he hippocampus．”

听力原文： Japanese Foreign Minister Makiko Tanaka is reported to have voiced concerns over Washington’s plan for a missile defense system.
Japanese news reports Friday said Ms. Tanaka told Italian Foreign Minister Lamberto Dini in Beijing last Friday that she was concerned about U.S. plans to deploy missile defenses.
The reports said she also suggested that Japan and Europe must cooperate in urging Washington to show caution about the plan.
If the remarks are confirmed, it would put Ms. Tanaka at odds with Tokyo’s official position that it "under-stands" Washington’s plan to develop the National Missile Defense project.
Washington says the system is needed to protect the United States and its allies from attack by so-called rogue nations.
To whom did Ms. Tonaka tell about her idea？
A．Chinese Foreign Minister.
B．U.S. State Secretary.
C．Italy Foreign Minister.
D．Japanese Foreign Minister.

Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays fits neither description, but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do. Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody battle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived. A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father she's ever known and that her biological parents have "no legal claim" on her.
The ruling, though it may yet be reversed, sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. That's an important development, one that's long overdue.
Shortly after birth in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents. Kimberly's biological parents, Ernest and Regina Twigg, received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988, Medical tests showed that the child wasn't the Twiggs' own daughter, but Kimberly was, thus sparking a custody battle with Robert Mays. In 1989, the two families agreed that Mr. Mays would maintain custody with the Twiggs getting visiting rights. Those rights were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being harmed.
The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr. Mays rendered her suit debated. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue(起诉) on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit.
Certainly, the biological link between parent and child is fundamental. But biological parents aren't always preferable to adoptive ones, and biological parentage does not convey an absolute ownership that cancels all the rights of children.
What was the primary consideration in the Florida judge's ruling？
A．The biological link.
B．The traditional practice.
C．The child's benefits.
D．The parents' feelings.

So who is right—these students or the skeptics？ It isn't too much of an exaggeration to say that the field of labor economics has spent the past 30 years trying to come up with an answer. In one paper after another, economists have tried to identify the portion of a person' s success for which schooling can fairly claim credit. One well-known study, co-researched by Alan Krueger, a Princeton professor now serving as the Treasury Department' s chief economist, offered some support for the skeptics. It tracked top high-school students through their 30s and found that their alma maters had little impact on their earnings. Students who got into both, say, the University of Pennsylvania and Penn State made roughly the same amount of money, regardless of which they chose. Just as you might hope, the fine-grain status distinctions that preoccupy elite high-school seniors (and more to the point, their parents) seem to be overrated.
The rest of the evidence, however, has tended to point strongly in the other direction. Several studies have found a large earnings gap between more—and less-educated identical twins. Another study compared young men who happened to live close to a college with young men who did not. The two groups were similar except for how easy it was for them to get to school, and the upshot was that the additional education attained by the first group lifted their earnings. " College can't guarantee anybody a good life, " says Michael McPherson, an economist who runs the Spencer Foundation in Chicago, which finances education research. "But it surely ups the odds substantially. "
In economic downturns, many people go to college________.
A．voluntarily
B．happily
C．reluctantly
D．with contempt
