The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an【22】served meal will improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child【23】he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow【24】else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child's hearing he is【25】to copy this procedure. Take it【26】granted that he likes everything and he probably will.

Do not talk too much to the child【28】meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food so he can hurry back to his toys. Under【29】circumstances must a child be coaxed(哄骗)【30】forced to eat.

Burn Calories While You Do Your Chores!
You may not realize just how many calories you burn doing everyday tasks. Daily chores do burn calories and, in some cases, help tone muscles. The only catch is that you have to change the way you think about how you do everyday things and choose the more active option whenever possible.
The following is a list of the amount of calories you will burn while performing daily tasks. (Note: All calorie counts are calculated for a 150-pound person doing 30 minutes of activity. If you weigh less than that, you will burn slightly fewer calories. If you weigh more, you will burn slightly more calories):
Grocery shopping while pushing a cart: 126
Washing dishes: 75
Reading the newest potboiler: 39
Doing laundry: 210
Surfing the Internet: 60
Gardening: 150
Raking leaves in your yard: 144
Walking the dog at a quick pace around the neighborhood: 14.7
Climbing the stairs at work (instead of taking the elevator): 306
Which daily chores can help to burn calories the least?

A. Raking leaves in your yard.
B. Washing dishes.
C. Surfing the Internet.
D. Fixing dinner.

Communication Skills
Make no mistake, learning any language to proficiency takes thousands of hours, but learning enough to be able to communicate reasonably well is not so difficult. If you can read this in English but have trouble communicating face to face, then you're at the right place. We provide plenty of hints about how to improve your communication skills in the English language. You'll also find some detailed suggestions on how to read and understand more. Because face-to-face communication is quite different from reading and writing, there are two main ways to learn a language. What you should read first depend on your goals.
1. For Reading
If the main reason you want to learn is for reading information on the Internet or in books, magazines, letters or newspapers, then you can focus on studying the written language.
2. For Communication
If you're hoping to travel, use English for work or to communicate with your friends, then you can concentrate your efforts on the spoken language.
3. For Help with Writing
If you need to write in English then you'll need to combine the studies of both spoken and written language. Skill at communicating is almost a prerequisite for someone who wants to write because it helps a lot with syntax and grammar, giving the student a feel for the language. Gaining skill at reading is also necessary, because good writing is different from normal speech.
What should one do when one intends to learn how to communicate with others?

A. One can assess how appropriate the courses you're considering buying.
B. One can focus on studying the oral and written language.
C. One can concentrate one's efforts on the spoken language.
D. One can read information on the Internet or in books, magazines, or newspapers.

WWW, a Wide and Wonderful World
Most large companies already provide Internet connections to the desktop and their availability in small and medium sized companies is expanding rapidly. Besides the items noted above, we can expect to see distributed learning through correspondence courses, via e-mail (and soon Internet phone and later conferencing) where teacher feedback comes in minutes or hours without the need for costly faxes and can therefore be offered much more widely. As secure financial transactions become more widely and cheaply available this kind of service will also become a more practical reality for individual use too. Right now it is possible to arrange machine translation of documents for some languages at low cost over the Net and the quality, accuracy and number of languages is improving all the time. We can expect that these services will expand rapidly and continue to be of much higher quality than is possible with desktop PC software translation programs. Combined with the use of e-mail checking by bilingual expert translators these machine translations can greatly expedite translation and therefore reduce costs. As the software improves, costs will plummet quickly since the need for human intervention and its associated costs will become necessary only for material which is to be published as the quality of machine translation begins to match or be better than that which is available from all but the very best human translators.
Use the Internet yourself, encourage friends to do likewise and make it available for your staff. The Net is a global equalizer which will just get better and better. Right now is the time to begin. Language learning resources are finally available at reasonable cost, so couple your learning program to the Net and get human benefits from the technology on your desktop. It's a wide and wonderful world.
Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?

A. Not all the companies, big or small, provide Internet connections.
B. All the companies, big or small, try to improve Internet connections.
C. Only large companies provide Internet connections to the desktop.
D. Internet connections are expanding rapidly especially in small companies.

Cultural Ecology — Cultural ecology is the study of the adaptation of human societies or populations to their environments, emphasizing the arrangements of technique, economy, and social organization through which culture mediates the experience of the natural world.
Diachronic Study — A diachronic study is one that includes an historical or evolutionary time dimension.
Ecosystem Approach/Model — This is an approach used by some ecological anthropologists that focuses on physical components. Moran (1990:3) claims that this view uses the physical environment as the basis around which evolving species and adaptive responses are examined. The ecosystem approach had played a central role within ecological anthropology.
Environmental Determinism — A deterministic approach assigns one factor as the dominant influence in explanations. Environmental determinism is based on the assumption that cultural and natural areas are coterminous, because culture represents an adaptation to the particular environment. Therefore, environmental factors determine human social and cultural behaviors.
The study that includes an historical or evolutionary time dimension is called

A. Cultural Ecology.
B. Diachronic Study.
C. Ecosystem Approach/Model.
D. Environmental Determinism.
