Because six of every ten accidental deaths happen to Chinese children who are playing, Shanghai Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical(SJJP), a US-based pharmaceutical(制药的)giant, is working on a Safe Kids Program to prevent injuries and deaths.
Since the Safe Kids Worldwide was set up in 1987 by Johnson & Johnson in the US, it has contributed to a nearly 40 percent decline in the child death rate from accidental injuries there.Learning from the successful experience, SJJP began the Safe Kids Program in China in 1999.
A recent survey conducted by SJJP and Safe Kids Worldwide China indicates that more than half of the responding parents didn't know how to help their children keep safe and that half of the parents didn't know about their children's motor skill development at different ages.The survey covered 3, 359 Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou's parents with children between infancy(婴幼年)and 14.
Additionally, more than 40 percent of the parents didn't know how to help their children to prepare well for sports activities.For example, they don't know how to have their children warm up or realize the importance of a playground-check before sports activities.
To help correct the problems, SJJP and Safe Kids Worldwide China have been translating and editing safety education materials, sending them to parents free of charge, and delivering free lectures in kindergartens, schools and communities for the last ten years.
At present, a special team has been set up and traveling around 12 key cities of China to popularize child sports safety knowledge and offer free training for young parents.
Though SJJP refuses to say how much it has spent on the program, it says the number in terms of money, staff and technology, is large.

Health researchers have noticed that some groups of people are more consistently healthy than others, and wondered…Is it race?Income?Where you live?In the United States, these disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades.
Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others.She says one important factor in people's health is the amount of education they have.
In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United States census.These counts of people occur every 10 years.Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades.
“
We looked at life expectancy(预测寿命)at age 25,”Meara says.“
How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner?Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you've reached aged 25 and you've gone on to at least some college…”Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years.In 2000, a 25 year old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75.
In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990.Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact.
Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people has made gains in the length of their lives.Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasn't changed for less educated people.
Some of these gains can be explained.Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.
“
I think it's a reminder not to be satisfactory,”Meara says.“Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn't always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population.And I think that's something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.”Meara points out that education can often determine income - people with more education frequently make more money.This makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier.But the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier.
Meara says education is key.People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health.

任务型阅读。根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“OK, class.Count off(报数)by five.” 1 Sometimes, breaking into small groups lasts as long as the class does.Other times, it signals the start of a “group project”-which means you'll be working with a few classmates for a day, several days, or longer on an assignment(任务).
2 Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people.Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others.Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone. 3
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not know or talk with-maybe the quiet kid in the third row, or the boy who lived down the street when you were in kindergarten. 4 For example:working on a deadline(最后期限), staying organized, or being patient.And if you're a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint(联合的)project can help you become more comfortable with it.
5 If so, you'll know your whole group is rooting for you!
A.Few of us act alone in the real world.
B.Why is this type of project so popular in school?
C.With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.
D.Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project.
E.Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you're not so sure of.
F.When your teacher gives you that instruction, you know what's coming next.
G.One key to a good meeting is having a leader, who should help the group stay focused.

Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years.Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment.With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them
The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors(处理器), or WPS as they are often called.40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.
There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager.The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers.He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss.From a manager's point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.
But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed.Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units(显示器).The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly.It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed.Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.
Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature(特征)of this revolution in office practice.
