  New research shows girls who regularly have family meals are much less 36 to adopt all kinds of extreme weight control 37 , such as vomiting(催吐), using laxatives (泻药) or diet pills.

  A study surveying more than 2,500 American high school students found that gifts who ate five or more family meals a week had a much healthier relationship with food in later life.

  The research, published in international journal Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, polled students aged 13 to 17 in 1999 who were 38 up five years later. Regular family meals were found to have a protective effect 39 of the girls' age, weight, socio-economic status, dieting 40 or relationship with her family.

  Experts say doctors should encourage families to have dinner at the table instead of on the couch in front of the television to 41 against serious eating disorders.

  Belinda Dalton, director of eating disorders clinic The Oak House, said eating with family helped "no'mnalise (正常化) " young people's relationship with food.

  " When adolescents are feeling that they're not coping they turn to something that they can control and food is something 42 and accessible for them to control. Clearly, if they're sitting with their family on a regular basis then their family can be more in control of their eating," Ms Dalton said.

  "It's about, young people feeling connected with their family and that builds self-esteem and sense of worth and that can 43 very actively against someone developing an eating disorder. " An eating disorders expert, Kirsty Greenwood, said meal times were often difficult for sufferers. "It is 44 that they feel very ashamed of their eating habits and often won't eat with other people. Perhaps it's becausee they haven't45 the importance of the family meal in their growing up," she said.

  37、 根据以下内容,回答37-46题。

  Is the Internet Making Us Forgetful?

  A. A tourist takes a picture of the Empire State Building on his iPhone, deletesit, then takes another one from a different angle. But what happened to that first image? The delete button on our cameras, phones, and computers is a function we use often without thinking, yet it remains a fantastic concept.

  Most things in the world don't just disappear. Not our thrown away plastic water bottles. Not the keys to the apartment. Not our earliest childhood memories.

  B. "It is possible that every memory you have ever experienced that made its way into your long-term memory is still buried somewhere in your head," Michael S. Malone writes in his new book The Guardian of All Things: The Epic Story of Human Memory. It is both a blessing and a curse that we cannot voluntarily erase our memories. Like it or not, we are stuck with our experiences. It's just one of the many ways that human beings differ from digital cameras.

  C. Yet, humans are relying more and more on digital cameras and less on our own minds. Malone tells the story of how, over time, humans have externalized (外化) their internal memories, departing themselves from the experiences they own. The book is a history in time order--from the development of paper, libraries, cameras, to microchips—about how we place increasing trust in technology.

  D. Is it a good thing for electronic devices and the Internet to store our memories for us? When we allow that to happen, who do we become? Will our brains atrophy (萎缩) ff we chose not to exercise them? Malone, who is a Silicon Valley reporter, shows us the technological progress, but backs away from deeper philosophical questions. His love for breaking news--the very idea of breakthrough--isapparent, but he fails to address the more distressing implications.

  E. The biology of human memory is largely mysterious. It is one of the remaining brain functions whoselocation neuroscientists can't place, Memory nerve cells are distributed all over the brain, hidden in itsgray wTinkles like money behind couch cushions. "What a plunge," opens Virginia Woolfs Mrs.Dalloway, as Clarissa tosses open her French windows and is transported into her remembered past."Live in the moment" is a directive we often hear these days in yoga class, but our ability to weave inund out of the past is what makes life interesting and also difficult for humans.

  F. The Neanderthal (穴居人的 ) brain was powerful, but lacking a high-capaciW memory, "forevertrapped in the/low," according to Malone. The stories, images, and phrases that we turn over in ore'minds while lying awake in bed were different for them. Neanderthals could receive the stimuli of theworld--colors, sounds, smells--but had limited ways to organize or access that information. Even theterm Homo sapienns (晚期智人) reveals how our brains work differently from our ancestors.Translated from the Latin, it means knowing man. Not only do we know, but we know that we know.Our self-consciousness, that ability not only to make memories but to recall them, is what defines us.

  G. Short-term memories are created by the compound of certain proteins in a cell and long-term memoriesare created by released magnesium (镁). Each memory is then inserted like handprints in concrete. This is what we know about the physical process of memory making. Why a person might rememberthe meal they ate before their parents announced a divorce, but not the announcement itself, remainsa scientific mystery.

  H.The appearance of language is linked to memory, and many early languages were simply devices that aid memory. They served as a method for sharing memories, an early form of fact-checking that also expands the lifetime of a memory. The Library of Alexandria is an example of a population's desire tocatalog a common memory and situate it safely outside their own short-lived bodies.
