protein-rich foods for these tiny babies. Unfortunately, a British study has found that this practice could have negative long-term effects, such as high blood pressure in adulthood.

Between 1993 and 1995, Atul Singhal of the Institute of Child Health and his colleagues researched 299 full-term newborns, each of whom weighed very little for their age. The babies' moms had decided not to breastfeed (用母乳喂养).

___72___ The rest received a formula with more nutrients and 28 percent more protein than the standard formula. The growth of all of these children was compared to that of 175 similarly low birthweight babies whose mothers had chosen to breastfeed their children for their first 9 months.___73___ They found 83 babies from the normal-formula group,70 babies from the extra-formula group, and 95 babies from the breast fed group.

Seven human test have indeed shown that when infants are overfed before being stopped breastfeeding, they have an increased possibility to become fat as youngsters.

3．D 从后文判断，作者一针见血地指出，父母为孩子做了很多很多，他们是最疼爱自己孩子的人。

4．E 本题与前题很容易混淆，都是强调父母为孩子做的很多，但此处要求在语言上与前文how your parents do“nothing”for you成顺承关系。

Everybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40%of Americans hate tipping. ___71___

The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. ___72___

But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes the data they got from 2 547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants.

___73___

Tipping is better explained by culture than by the money people spend. In America, tipping is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least 15% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get 15%-20~.% And the mall who delivers your fast food should be paid $ 2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. ___74___ ]

According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers' author, countries in which people are more social or out-going tend to tip more. He says, "In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. ___75___ "

2．G 上文说明人们一般认为“小费”的作用是对优质服务的肯定和奖励，后文具体说明怎样付小费，即服务越优，客人付的小费越高。

3．F 从前文可知』、费其实没有特殊的意义，后文又说明这是一种文化现象，因此此处说明小费和服务之间没有必然联系。

4．E 从前文可知，亚洲国家支付小费并不流行，因此后文应说明付小费的人很少。

5．D 前文说明，在美国付小费是一种财富的象征。如果你支付小费很少，人们会看不起你，因此后面说明付小费慷慨的好处。
