28、hopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. Thats the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that
29、some aging parents arc not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekend

34、 terrible illustration of man s weakness to nature .and the tsunami() that struck the Japanese coast in March. 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done t
35、o minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation( 拔 散 ） strategics.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international war
36、ming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.9But an early warming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if its close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable for
37、ce like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is lo get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.66.The first paragraph tells us that _ .

41、y Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster,population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良）
42、and heal-related health problems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk,who questioned its methods and conclusions.Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affe
43、cted by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forums report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic
