COCOA MIGHT PREVENT MEMORY DECLINE
Drinking cocoa every day may help older people keep their brains healthy, research suggests. A
study of 60 elderly people with no dementia found two cups of cocoa a day (41) ________ blood
flow to the brain in those who had problems to start with. Those participants whose blood flow
improved also did better on memory tests at the end of the study, the journal Neurology reported.
Experts said more research was needed before conclusions could be (42) ________. It is not the first
time cocoa has been linked with vascular health and researchers believe that this is in part (43)
________ its being rich in flavanols, which are thought to have an important role. In the latest study,
researchers asked 60 people with an average age of 73 to drink two cups of cocoa a day - one group
given high-flavanol cocoa and another a low-flavanol cocoa - and consume no other chocolate.
Ultrasound tests at the start of the study showed 17 of them had impaired blood flow to the brain.
There was no difference between (44) ________ who drank flavanol-rich cocoa and those who had
flavanol-poor cocoa. But whichever drink they were given, 88% of those with impaired blood flow
at the start of the study saw improvements in blood flow and some (45)________ tests, compared
with 37% of people whose blood flow was normal at the beginning of the study. MRI scans in 24
participants found that people with impaired blood flow were also more likely to have tiny areas of
brain (46) ________. The researchers said the lack of difference between the flavanol-rich and
flavanol-poor cocoa could be because another component of the drink was having an (47) ________
or because only small (48) ________ were needed. Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at Alzheimer's
Research UK said this was a small study but that it added to a wealth (49) ________ evidence. A
cocoa-based treatment would likely be very popular, but it's too soon to draw any conclusions about
its effects. One drawback of this study is the lack of a control group for comparison, and we can't tell
whether the results would have been different if the participants drank no cocoa at all. But he added
"Poor vascular health is a known risk factor for dementia, and understanding more about the links
between vascular problems and declining brain health could help the search for new treatments and (50) ________." 41. A. made B. improved C. rose D. supported 42.

Did the advertisements contain subliminal messages, persuading us to buy more? Did children turn

MAKING EVERY DROP COUNT
A. The history of human civilization is entwined with the history of the ways we have learned to
manipulate water resources. As towns gradually expanded, water was brought from increasingly
remote sources, leading to sophisticated engineering efforts such as dams and aqueducts. At the height
of the Roman Empire, nine major systems, with an innovative layout of pipes and well-built sewers,
supplied the occupants of Rome with as much water per person as is provided in many parts of the industrial world today.
B. During the industrial revolution and population explosion of the 19th and 20th centuries, the
demand for water rose dramatically. Unprecedented construction of tens of thousands of monumental
engineering projects designed to control floods, protect clean water supplies, and provide water for
irrigation and hydropower brought great benefits to hundreds of millions of people. Food production
has kept pace with soaring populations mainly because of the expansion of artificial irrigation systems
that make possible the growth of 40% of the world's food. Nearly one fifth of all the electricity
generated worldwide is produced by turbines spun by the power of falling water.
C. Yet there is a dark side to this picture: despite our progress, half of the world's population still
suffers, with water services inferior to those available to the ancient Greeks and Romans. As the
United Nations report on access to water reiterated in November 2001, more than one billion people
lack access to clean drinking water; some two and a half billion do not have adequate sanitation
services. Preventable water-related diseases kill an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 children every day,
and the latest evidence suggests that we are falling behind in efforts to solve these problems.
D. The consequences of our water policies extend beyond jeopardizing human health. Tens of
millions of people have been forced to move from their homes - often with little warning or
compensation - to make way for the reservoirs behind dams.' More than 20% of all freshwater fish
species are now threatened or endangered because dams and water withdrawals have destroyed the
free-flowing river ecosystems where they thrive. Certain irrigation practices degrade soil quality and
reduce agricultural productivity. Groundwater aquifers are being pumped down faster than they are
naturally replenished in parts of India, China, the USA and elsewhere. And disputes over shared water
resources have led to violence and continue to raise local, national and even international tensions.
E. At the Outset of the new millennium, however, the way resource planners think about water is
beginning to change. The focus is slowly shifting back to the provision of basic human and
environmental needs as top priority - ensuring 'some for all,' instead of 'more for some'. Some water
experts are now demanding that existing infrastructure be used in smarter ways rather than building Page 6
new facilities, which is increasingly considered the option of last, not first, resort. This shift in
philosophy has not been universally accepted, and it comes with strong opposition from some
established water organizations. Nevertheless, it may be the only way to address successfully the
pressing problems of providing everyone with clean water to drink, adequate water to grow food and
a life free from preventable water-related illness.
F. Fortunately - and unexpectedly - the demand for water is not rising as rapidly as some predicted.
As a result, the pressure to build new water infrastructures has diminished over the past two decades.
Although population, industrial output and economic productivity have continued to soar in
developed nations, the rate at which people withdraw water from aquifers, rivers and lakes has
slowed. And in a few parts of the world, demand has actually fallen.
G. What explains this remarkable turn of events? Two factors: people have figured out how to use
water more efficiently, and communities are rethinking their priorities for water use. Throughout the
first three-quarters of the 20th century, the quantity of freshwater consumed per person doubled on
average; in the USA, water withdrawals increased tenfold while the population quadrupled. But since
1980, the amount of water consumed per person has actually decreased, thanks to a range of ' new
technologies that help to conserve water in homes and industry. In 1965, for instance, Japan used
approximately 13 million gallons of water to produce $1 million of commercial output; by 1989 this
had dropped to 3.5 million gallons (even accounting for inflation) - almost a quadrupling of water
productivity. In the USA, water withdrawals have fallen by more than 20% from their peak in 1980.
H. On the other hand, dams, aqueducts and other kinds of infrastructure will still have to be built,
particularly in developing countries where basic human needs have not been met. But such projects
must be built to higher specifications and with more accountability to local people and their
environment than in the past. And even in regions where new projects seem warranted, we must find
ways to meet demands with fewer resources, respecting ecological criteria and to a smaller budget.
