Many women who battle breast cancer will tell you it's a life-changing experience. However, a new study shows that for many (51) , the changes aren't always positive or permanent.
Beth Snoke has watched her mother and both grandmothers battle and survive breast (52) So when she was diagnosed, there was no doubt in her mind (53) she had to do.
"I do exactly what the doctors say as far as the medicine that I'm on, as (54) as the vitamins, the diet, and the fitness. And I can't stress enough (55) important that is," says Beth Snoke. But a surprising new study shows that (56) every woman who beats breast cancer is getting that message. In fact, nearly 40% of them say even (57) surviving breast cancer, they haven't made significant changes in the (58) they eat or how much they exercise.
"Not all survivors are taking advantage of this teachable moment and making positive health changes in (59) life," says Electra Paskett, PhD, at Ohio State University's Comprehensive Cancer Center. Paskett says diet and exercise have been proven to not only help women feel better during and after treatment, they may (60) play a role in preventing some cancers from coming back (61) growing evidence, some women just aren't listening.
"Colon cancer survivors (62) exercise have actually been shown to have improved survival rates. So, yes, it is true that perhaps by making some of these healthy choices we can actually increase their health," says Paskett.
As a breast cancer survivor (63) , Paskett knows first hand how much difference diet and exercise can (64) The challenge, she says, is to get more survivors to be more like Beth, during and after treatment.
Experts say exercising more and eating a healthier diet can also cut (65) on stress and help women overcome depression. There are more than 2 million breast cancer survivors living in the U.S. Of those, nearly a million have yet to change their diet or exercise routines.

For years, studies have found that first-generation college students-those who do not have a parent with a college degree-lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has “continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close” achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Sciense.
But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach(which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap(measured by such factors as grades)between first-generation and other students.
The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students(who completed the project)at an unnamed private university.First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree Most of the first-generation students(59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants,a federal g rant for undergraduates with financial need,while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students wit at least one parent with a four-year degree.
Their thesis-that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact-was based on the view that first-gene ration students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students They cite past resea rch by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.
Many first-gene ration students”struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education,learn the‘rules of the game,’and take advantage of college resources,” they write And this becomes more of a problem when collages don’t talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students’ educational experience,many first-gene ration students lack sight about why they a re struggling and do not unde rstand how students’ like them can improve.
Recruiting more first-generation students has______ .
A.reduced their d ropoutrates
B.narrowed the achievement
C.missed its original pu rpose
D.depressed college students
The study suggests that most first-gene ration students______ .A.study at private universities
B.are from single-pa rent families
C.are in need of financial support
D.have failed their collage
The author of the paper believe that first-generation students______ .A.a re actually indifferent to the achievement gap
B.can have a potential influence on other students
C.may lack opportunities to apply for research projects
D.are inexperienced in handling their issues at college
We may infer from the last paragraph that______ .A.universities often rect the culture of the middle-class
B.students are usually to blame for their lack of resources
C.social class g realy helps en rich educational experiences
D.colleges are partly responsible for the problem in question
The author of the research article are optimistic because______ .A.the problem is solvable
B.their approach is costless
C.the recruiting rate has increased
D.their finding appeal to students

It is a blow for the Ugly Bettys and Plain Janes ——research shows that good looks lead to better pay. A study of 4,000 young men and women found that beauty boosted pay checks more than intelligence.
It is unclear what is behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty creates confidence. The self-confident may appear to be doing better than they are and will not hesitate about asking for a pay rise.
Researcher Jason Fletcher, of Yale University in the U.S., rated the attractiveness of the 4,000 men and women. Just over half were judged average, while 7 percent were felt to be very attractive and 8 percent were judged unattractive or very unattractive. The volunteers also sat an IQ test and reported their salary. It became clear that pay scales were far from fair. For instance, a 14- point increase on the IQ score was associated with a 3 to 6 percent increase in wage. But being of above-average looks increased pay by 5 to 10 percent .
For a plain person to be paid the same as a very attractive one , they would have to be 40 percent brighter, the journal Economics Letters reports.
Dr Fletcher said:“The results do show that people ’s looks have an impact on their wages and it can be very important.”
6.What is the “plainness penalty ”?
A.To be paid less for being ordinarily-looking
B.To be laughed at for being ordinarily-looking

How many people were rated as very attractive in Jason Fletcher ’s study?A.About 280

What ’s the average annual salary of a good-looking person?A.£2,500
B.£25,000
C.£22,500
D.£27,500
Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage ?A.IQ is less important than appearance
B.Confidence makes people prettier
C.Good looks earn an extra penny
D.How Plain Janes get a higher salary
