Children who suffer head trauma(創(chuàng)傷)call experience headaches months after the injury, with girls more likely to have them than boys，a new study finds．

　　 The researchers also found that the risk of having these headaches was greater after a mild

traumatic brain injury(TBI)than after a moderate or severe one．

　　 The study, published online Dec．5 in the journal Pediatrics，included children aged 5 to 1 7 who were hospitalized with traumatic brain injury in King County in Washington State and one in Philadelphia．Three months after treatment，headaches were reported by 43 percent of children who’had a mild TBI，37 percent of those who had a moderate to severe TBI，and 26 percent of children in a control group who’d suffered broken arms but no head trauma．

　 The researchers also assessed the children one year after they were hospitalized and didn’t find any significant differences in headaches between the groups．

　 Teens and girls appear to have the highest risk for headache after mild TBI，and the course of recovery after such events is likely affected by age，injury severity and gender(性別)，the researchers concluded．

　The authors noted that more than half a million children in the United States suffer a TBI each year．

　“Little research has focused on chronic(慢性的)headache post-TBI in children，”Dr．Heidi Blume，of me Seattle Children’S Research Institute，said in鋤institute news release(發(fā)布會)．“The common existence of headache following mild TBI appear to follow a pattern we see in primary headache disorders such as a migraine(偏頭痛)．”

　 She said the research will examine similarities betwe．en TBI and migraine，including a look at whether“migraine treatment will work for post．traumatic headaches．”

　 In the meantime，‘'what parents need to know is that some children with TBI may have headaches for several weeks or months after TBI，but that most recover with time，”Blume said．“And significantly, girls and teenagers appear to be at particular risk for headaches after mild TBI．Parents should be aware of what to expect after mild TBI，and that includes TBI for sports．related injuries．”，

　　 A lazy Susan is an addition to a table that is designed to assist in moving food from one person to another while dining. This is achieved through the use of a turntable (轉(zhuǎn)盤), which usually moves the food in a circle when it is pushed by those at the table. In this way, the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place on the lazy Susan.

　　 A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet (櫥柜). In this sense, the lazy Susan is a type of shelving unit within the cabinet that is able to turn around its axis(軸心) . One may turn the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods in storage. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets that are located at a right angle (直角) to each another. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside.

　　 It is believed that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan in the 18th century, though it was called “dumbwaiter” at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph (留聲機). The turntable may have developed into the lazy Susan later.

Regardless of who invented it, it wasn’t until 1917 that the term “l(fā)azy Susan” was used in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term “dumbwaiter” is still used rather than “l(fā)azy Susan”. The reason for the naming of it is still a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jefferson’s or Edison’s daughter, both of whom were named Susan.

67. What is a “l(fā)azy Susan”?

A. A waitress B. A convenient tool C. A table D. A cabinet

68. According to those who believed Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan, _______.

A. his daughter was very lazy　 　　　　 B. the lazy Susan didn’t exist until the 18th century

A. the lazy Susan can work by itself

B. the lazy Susan was named after Thomas Edison’s daughter

C. how the lazy Susan got its name remains unknown

D. the lazy Susan was invented in Britain

70. The writer wrote the passage mainly to _________.

A. discuss how the lazy Susan was named B. teach us how to make a lazy Susan

BEIJING—Apple Inc is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular  network compatibility （兼容） for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion．

       According to China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for the company to begin official sales in China．The device, listed under model number “A1396”, is compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by Apple’s local iPhone partner, China Unicom （Hong Kong） Ltd．

       China Unicom declined  to comment．

       Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland．Still, consumers in China, which according to research firm IDC surpassed  the US as the world’s largest PC market in the second quarter, have been purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels．

       Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said Sept 6 that the company’s first Hong Kong store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city’s central shopping and business district in the International Finance Center’s upscale （高檔的） IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot along the city’s waterfront．Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter, which will be its biggest store in China．She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2．

       Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of any Apple stores in the world．The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the market．

       The new stores reflect Apple’s confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones and tablet computers．Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost （增長） the company’s third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July．China revenue （收益） surged （激增） six-fold to about $3．8 billion during the three months ended June 25．

       “This has been a substantial （重大） opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we’re just scratching the surface right now,” Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China．“I see an incredible opportunity for Apple there．”

　 My granddaughter, Shari, owns The Berry (莓果) Factory in Sacramento, California, and her mother, Joan, and I were helping with the Valentine’s Day rush. We’d dipped (浸泡) hundreds of berries, arranged gift baskets and packaged orders to be shipped around the country.

Much meaning can be conveyed with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and 　44 . But things are different when it 45 to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than ten seconds and 　46 to avert (移開) his gaze, his intentions are 　47 , that is , he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is 　48　 her.

49 , the normal eye contact for two people 　50　 in a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener 　51 , in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking about, to tell him that he is attentive. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, 　52 he tries to dominate(控制) you, you will feel embarrassing.
