About twice many women as men reported agreements with friends not to【M1】______ have dangerous relationships with someone new during break(17 percent compared to 8 percent). "Students went on a spring break trip were nearly four times as【M2】______ likely as other students to engage to binge drinking," said【M3】______ developmental psychologist Megan Patrick, lead author of the paper and a Faculty Research Fellow at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. " Understandings students had with their friends were also important predictors of alcoholic use."【M4】______ Patrick and colleagues at Penn State surveyed 651 college freshmen either before and after spring break. They were able to【M5】______ control for student behavior. after spring break, which was【M6】______ a strong predictor of behavior. during break. According to the study, about 31 percent of 651 college freshmen surveying reported binge drinking during spring break.【M7】______ "Its important to encourage young people to talk with their friends being safe during spring break," Patrick said. " Agreeing that【M8】______ they wont drink too much may have an important protected effect.【M9】______ Its also important to talk about looking out for each other in case of【M10】______ someone does drink too much."

By weaving climate change concerns into the fabric of its existing developmental policies, the country would not only be able to ineffectively address the challenges of【M2】______ climate change mitigation and adaptation, but will also be able to attain sustainable development. The impacts of climate change are conventionally assessed in terms of their impact on the human and【M3】______ natural system. These impacts would in turn, relate sustainable development【M4】______ largely through their implication on the opportunities for economic development and development planning, on access to resources and on the distributional effects, especially on the most poor across regions and income groups. Research conducting on the impact of【M5】______ climate change shows that developing countries are probable to【M6】______ bear the brunt as they have fewer resources for coping with the adverse change. In India, climate change could add the additional【M7】______ stress on ecological and socio-economic systems are already【M8】______ facing tremendous pressures due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and economic development. Though the economy【M9】______ is closely tied to its natural resource base, India with its huge and growing population is considerately vulnerable to the impact of【M10】______ climate change.

There is growing concern that being stuck in place contributes to higher levels of unemployment. Our analysis, therefore, finds no correlation whatsoever between【M1】______ the percentage of residents who were born in a state and either the overall rate of unemployment and its change over the past year.【M2】______ There is also no correlation between it and the level of income inequality. States with higher percentages of home grown up【M3】______ residents do however have higher poverty rates. State mobility appears to be related to residents perceptions of their future economic conditions. The percentage of residents born in a state is closely associated with the percentage of people in the state who see the economy getting worse and negatively associated with the【M4】______ percentage who perceive the economy to be getting better. This likely reflects a difference in the levels of income and skills what【M5】______ underlie these divergent perceptions about the economy. State-level mobility is also associated with key dimensions of health and well-being. Low mobility states have higher levels of obesity and smoking and higher levels of happiness and【M6】______ well-being. The percentage of residents born in a state is positively correlated with smoking and obesity, as well as deaths from【M7】______ cardiovascular disease, heart disease, and cancer. Converse, the【M8】______ level of happiness or subjective well-being is negatively associated with the percentage of residents born in a state. And many have【M9】______ focused on the economic effects of mobility, our analysis suggests it play an important role in health and happiness as well.【M10】______

ly it while attending classes.【M1】______ You must study a language for at least an hour or two each day if you really want to achieve proficiency. Some people cannot realistically achieve these goals in a formal language classroom if they have busy schedules to work. Educational【M2】______ language software for computer-based learning is very useful in such cases. Computer software programs can help developing reading【M3】______ comprehension in a foreign language. Most language programs provide reading exercises and quizzes of test【M4】______ comprehension. Programs teach you how to read basic vocabulary words first, and followed by more advanced【M5】______ phrases. If you are ready, computer applications allow you to【M6】______ read sentences and paragraphs and then test your comprehension of the content. As formal classroom exams【M7】______ revised over the course of an entire week, computer software provides immediate correction of reading comprehension errors. This reinforces retention of the subjects covered in a lesson unit. Learning how to write with a language learning program on a computer is fair easy. Typing applications help students【M8】______ take what they have learned from reading lessons and practice writing on their own. While a computer-based student will miss out on the benefit of having a teacher review his writing and provide feedback, many computer programs automatically【M9】______ correct and revise the writing exercises for the student can see【M10】______ where mistakes were made. Language software discourages bad writing habits by correcting errors immediately.

ting edge of new business and marketing practices. The industry is risk adverse and is more likely to be a late adopter. Its not surprising then that a new report in【M1】______ which lists the top social media industries ranks hospitals and healthcare clinics in the bottom 10, joining by automobile parts【M2】______ stores and lumber and wood production. But healthcare on a whole【M3】______ is not completely behind in the recent report. Biotechnology and pharmaceuticals tied for 29th place out of 50 most social【M4】______ industries. The report looked at "social presence," the number of employees registered with social media profiles on Twitter, Linkedln or Facebook using a corporate email address; and "social connectedness," the number of connections across social networks. Given this scoring method, its understanding why hospitals would【M5】______ rank low. Hospitals and other providers have not encouraged employees to represent it on social media platforms or actively【M6】______ participated in social media. But this doesnt mean the industry has【M7】______ not adopted social media. In fact, hospitals have made greater【M8】______ strides in using social media to connect with patients and consumers. Healthcare may still be in catch-up mode compared to other more social industries, but advances being made by health systems and physician groups are insignificant. When healthcare moves【M9】______ beyond talking and, instead, uses social media to engage with【M10】______ patients, employees and consumers, the impact on peoples lives will be phenomenal and, possibly, life-saving.

illed dream. As a consequence, the spread of secondary education is quite limited and higher education is available to a small percentage of the population. The country has, therefore, progressed very well in the field of technical education【M1】______ both quantitatively and qualitatively. During recent times, India has lain great stress on modernization and technological【M2】______ advancement in education, and has contributed amazingly to high-skilled manpower in software and information technology. Despite our limited endeavours in other sphere of education,【M3】______ India manages its own affairs on its own in almost all the areas, and does not, in no way, depend on foreign expertise.【M4】______ On the other hand, it provides all kinds of manpower to other【M5】______ countries. In terms of policy, India had continued with the colonial education system of the British rulers till about 1968, when the Government had announced its first National Education Policy, in which was in accordance with the requirements of the country,【M6】______ but there was big gap between the policy and practice due to many【M7】______ natural and man-made bottlenecks. Another National Policy on education was announced in 1986, which, amongst other things, emphasized qualitative improvement, essential in higher and technical education;【M8】______ vocationalisation of secondary education; development of regional languages. This policy revised in 1992, and was in line with the【M9】______ earlier policy, but it far added to the inconsistencies and【M10】______ contradictions between the stated goals and actual policy, on the one hand, and between stated goals and resource allocation, on the other.

Orville Schell, the author and the journalist who heads【M5】______ the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society, has written repeated about the need for global cooperation on climate change.【M6】______ "As a writer, I felt that what I wrote had limited effect," he told me recently, "so we decided to try a different approach: Lets do it in a visual way." The results are in display now at the Three Shadows【M7】______ Photography Art Centre in Beijing, and, with luck, it will be near【M8】______ you soon. "Coal + Ice" is a documentary exhibition encompassing works by thirty photographers around the world.【M9】______ It seeks to doing something unprecedented: to chart the horrific【M10】______ grandeur of our effects on the planet, from the coal mines beneath our feet to the dwindling glaciers on our highest mountains. The images chosen by curators Jeroen de Vries and Susan Meiselas describe a spectrum that is vast in aesthetics and geography.

ning is nearly as common in【M1】______ U.S. schools. One reason is that such programs sound dangerously similar to track—sorting students by ability level, a practice【M2】______ repeatedly rejected in U.S. culture, by which the dominant【M3】______ philosophy is that all students should have opportunity to meet their full potential. If high schools were to advise students that some education beyond high school is not necessary for everyone, "theres little bit【M4】______ of a concern that... we re saying a lesser goal is OK for the populations of students who have been historically least well-served by high education," says Jane Wellman, executive【M5】______ director of Delta Project, which studies higher education spending. In recent years, male college-going and completion rates have raised concerns. But those least well-serving historically are【M6】______ low-income and underrepresented majority students, who are less【M7】______ likely than their peels to pursue two- and four-year degrees, and【M8】______ most at risk of not completing college if they do enroll. Some evidence suggest, though, that students already are being【M9】______ held to different standards. A recent national survey of high school teachers by ACT Inc., the educational testing company, found 71% agreed "completely" or "a great deal" that high school graduates need the same set of skills and knowledge if they plan to go to【M10】______ college or enter the workforce, yet 42% said teachers reduce academic expectations for students they perceive as not being college-bound.

d returned back home to【M1】______ wait a week or so for a phone call to the dorm. Mom or Dad,【M2】______ in turn, might write letters—yes, with pens. On stationary. But【M3】______ going to college these days means never have to say goodbye,【M4】______ thanks to near-saturation of cellphones, email, instant messaging, texting, Facebook and Skype. Researchers are looking at how new technology may be delaying the point which college-bound students truly become independent from【M5】______ their parents, and how phenomena such as the introduction of unlimited calling plans have changed the nature of parent-child relationships, and not always for the better. Some research suggests that todays young adults are close【M6】______ to their parents than their predecessors. And its complicated.【M7】______ Sherry Turkle, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology whose specialty is technology and relationships, calls this a particular sort of "Huck Finn moment," in which Huck "takes her【M8】______ parents with him. We all sail down Mississippi together." From the【M9】______ electronic grade monitoring many high schools offer parents, it seems a small leap to keep electronic track of their(adult) childrens schedules or to send reminders about deadlines or assignments. Professors have figured out that some kids are emailing papers home to parents to edit. And Skype and【M10】______ Facebook might be more than just chances to see a face thats missed at home; parents can peer into their little darling s messy dorm room or his messy social life.

forecasts showing that 40 percent of the population will have been 65 and over in 2055.【M1】______ Some of the consequences have been long foreseen, like deflation: as more Japanese retire and live off their savings, they spend more, further depressing Japans anemic levels of domestic【M2】______ consumption. So a less anticipated outcome has been the【M3】______ appearance of generational inequalities. These disparities manifest itself in many ways. There are【M4】______ corporations that hire all too many young people for low-paying jobs—in effect, forcing them to shoulder the costs of preserving cushier jobs to older employees. Others point to【M5】______ an underfinanced pension system so skewed in the favor of【M6】______ older Japanese that many younger workers simply refuse to pay; a "silver democracy" that spends far more on the elderly than education and child care—an issue that is familiar to【M7】______ Americans; and outdated hiring practices that have created a new "lost generation" of disenfranchised youths. Nagisa Inoue, a senior at Tokyos Meiji University, said she was considering paying for a fifth year at her university rather than graduate without a job, an outcome that in Japans rigid【M8】______ job market might permanently taint her chances of ever getting a higher-paying corporate job. That is why Japanese【M9】______ companies, even when they do offer stable, regular jobs, prefer to give them only to new graduates, which are seen as the【M10】______ more malleable candidates for molding into Japans corporate culture.
