A study of more than 1,000 mainly British and North American artists, spanning the era from Elvis Presley to rapper Eminem, found they were two or three timesmore 47 to suffer a premature death than the general population. Between 1956 and xx there were 100 deaths among the 1,064 48examined by researchers at the Center for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University, 49 Presley, the toll of those dying before their time included Doors singer Him Morison, guitar hero Jimi Hendrix, T Rex star Marc Bolan and Nirvanas Kiirt Cobain. More than a quarter of all the deaths were related to drugs or alcohol abuse.

Reading: 16% (A) Surrounding Alaska on all but one side are two oceans and a vast sea, giving this state the longest coastline in the United States. In fact, if the coastlines of all its penjjisulas and islands are considered, Alaska has a longer coastline, 33904 miles (54563 kilometres)，than all the other 49 states together. Most of the state lies on a peninsula, bounded by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Bering Sea to the west, and the Pacific ocean on the southwest, south, and southeast. This peninsula stretching away from the rest of North America, forms the northwest er of the continent. One of the worlds largest peninsulas, it is partly shared with Canada on the east. The seas indent the shores of the main peninsula to form other peninsulas that contribute some of the most outstanding features to Alaskas outline. Most notable of these is the Alaska Peninsula. The peninsula itself is 550 miles ( 885 kilometres) long, before the spectacular chain of islands reaches toward Asia. Another of Alaskas large peninsulas is Seward, in which a number of smaller eastern states could be swallowed up. The Kenai Peninsula, less extensive than Seward, is about the size of the stqte of Maryland. Part of Alaska s ocean heritagmany islands lie along the fhnges of the state. Vluch of southeastern Alaska is made up of the Alexander Archipelago of 1100 islands, including Barmoo, Kuiu and Admiralty. Continuing up the coast are the islands of Prince William Sound. The Aleutian islands pursue their bleak and windswept course in a long arc that encloses the Bering Sea.

However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not theones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese pre-schools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction.In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool tochers child development specialists, and parents were asked about vanous aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents listed to give children a good start academically”as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent parison of Japanese and American preschool education,91 percent of Japanese respontens chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasions for a society to have preschools.Sixty-two persent of the more individually-oriented Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasxs oa the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend university-based program, it will increase the childrens chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.62.

I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confmement(限制）and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was bom. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids，a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. Theyd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads，catching grasshoppers in waisthigh grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.We eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road，everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car，ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey and the best part of yourself.67.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parentshome?A.
