children who are picky eaters are more likely to suffer from psychological problems such as depression1 anxiety1 and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder 7,,ADHD74 ,Academics at the ,Duke ,University ,Center for ,Eating ,Disorders examined the association between a pattern of so- called 8selective eating0 in childhood and the above-mentioned problems by doing research on #iag children aged from two to almost six4 ,The nearly #a1jjj subjects were enrolled in a study on anxiety1 and tests were done to examine the kids' levels of anxiety4 ,Researchers learned that about #bj`0 of those children were picky eaters1 who only ate a limited number of foods4 ,Three percent could be classified as 8severe selective eaters10 which meant they were so picky about the food they ate that they couldn't eat with others since they often couldn't eat outside of their homes4 ,Those in the extremely picky group were found to be twice as likely to be diagnosed as having depression compared to children who weren't selective eaters4 ,Moreover1 they were discovered to be seven times more likely to experience social anxiety1 a fear of interacting with other people in social situations4 ,Although the findings may be worrisome to parents1 ,Nancy ,Zucker1 director of the ,Duke ,University ,Center for ,Eating ,Disorders1 said moms and dads shouldn't be overly concerned by the study's results4 ,They merely highlight the possibility that picky eating is a sign of some type of psychological problem4 ,In other words1 selective eating could be seen as a signal that parents should take a closer look at their child's psychological well-being1 but parents should ultimately make their own judgments as to whether they should take their concerns more seriously4 #a4 ,What does the study indicate about children who are picky eaters8 7,A7 ,They are less successful when they reach adulthood4 7,B7 ,They are more likely to have emotional problems4 7,C7 ,They are extremely heavy eaters4

isolation1 and as a consequence1 ,Ma dagascar has an astonishingly unique biodiversity1 with over #ij`0 of its endemic wildlife found nowhere else on the planet4 ,The country also boasts stunning beaches1 dense forests1 and a climate that ranges from tropical to semi-arid4 ,The name used to refer to the #bb million ,Madagascar nationals is ,Malagasy1 which is also the name of the language spoken1 although ,French is also an official language1 as a legacy of ,French rule between #ahig and #aieh4 ,Prior to the ,French occupation1 ,British missionaries built churches and introduced ,Christianity4 ,Today1 about half of the population is ,Christian1 while the other half practices traditional religion1 which places emphasis on the relationship of the living with their ancestors4 ,Madagascar's massive potential for tourism has yet to be fully realized1 simply because the nation is underdeveloped1 with the average annual income being only ,,NT 4#ad1jjj4 ,On top of that1 political instability1 coups1 and uprisings1 which have occurred every #bj years or so1 deter companies that might otherwise be interested in investing in the country4 ,Deforestation of what were once pristine forests also threatens to permanently undermine the viability of any potential ecotourism4 ,Nevertheless1 travelers willing to take the plunge and visit ,Madagascar more often than not return to their homelands singing the praises of the colonial historical sites1 craftsmanship and artistry1 and the laid-back lifestyle found in the relaxed cities and towns of this truly unique land4

gx"n*`+`e.`ku'a!a*'j*`s1ey1d!ak4'8"d$" :"ev'i:"- ,Martial music or military music is simply music employed for military purposes1 including intimidating the ene my1 encouraging one's troops1 and assisting in organizing and timing warfare actions4 ,Percussion1 especially the drum1 triangles1 and cymbals1 and horns like the bugle and trumpet have been the most commonly used instruments4 ,Bagpipes1 flutes1 and even conch shells have also been used4 ,The history of martial music is long indeed4 ,Chinese troops used drums as early as #fhd ,,BC4 ,The ,Ottoman ,Empire1 centered in ,Turkey1 used drums1 trumpets1 and bells in their military campaigns from the #adth century onwards4 ,Bagpipes were first used in #acif in ,Scotland and in ,Ireland in #aehf4 ,Army and naval marching bands have been a feature of ,European warfare from the #agth century and continue to day4 ,Now we come to a term related to marching bands that is confusing to many4 ,Sometimes the same ,English word has different meanings1 even with the same spelling and pronunciation4 ,A good example of this is 8tattoo40 ,Perhaps the more familiar meaning can be seen all around us3 many young people these days sport tattoos1 pictures1 or designs inserted into the skin with a needle and dyes4 ,This word came into ,English from a ,Polynesian language1 that is1 one originating on the islands of the ,South ,Pacific ,Ocean4 ,Another 8tattoo0 also entered ,English1 but this time from ,Dutch1 the language of ,Holland and large areas of ,Belgium4 ,In this language1 8tattoo0 comes from the phrase1 8,Doe den tap toe10 meaning 8close the tap10 referring to the device which opens and closes beer kegs4 ,Drummers were sent out from military garrisons to inform soldiers to return from their visits to local beer-serving inns4 ,Shortened to 8tap toe10 where 8toe0 is pronounced like the ,English word 8too10 this phrase became 8tattoo0 in ,English1 referring to a military performance of music4 ,Many countries have or have had military tattoos1 but the greatest that can be seen nowadays is certainly ,The ,Royal ,Edinburgh ,Military ,Tattoo4 33333333333333333333 k4'8"r3"k4'k!'i:"b=1j$"6"|1k4'i:"m/"

artistic world1 and culture4 ,In the not-so- distant past1 the woody plant was intricately connected to the everyday lives of the people of this island4 ,It has been used to make woven furniture2 musical instruments such as flutes2 children's toys2 and it has even been used for making ghost offerings for burning1 for example4 ,Indeed1 the list of practical1 artistic1 and culturally significant items that bamboo has been used for in ,Taiwan is nearly endless4 ,In fact1 bamboo was something of great value long before the arrival of the ,Han ,Chinese in the #afjjs4 ,Before that time1 aboriginal people had been using the plant for material to make houses1 shrines1 fish traps1 storage containers1 and for a multitude of other uses4 ,Much later1 during the latter half of the #bjth century1 the government promoted the use of bamboo in manufacturing bamboo products and handicrafts to help expand the nation's economy4 ,The development of newer1 competing materials eventually led to a decline in bamboo's economic importance to ,Taiwan4 ,However1 the artistic and cultural significance of the plant has remained strong4 ,Building on the past traditions of bamboo handicrafts1 contemporary artists also employ innovative methods to come up with pieces that display excellent artistic ability as well as craftsmanship4 ,One example of this is the art of making basket lacquer-ware1 in which a lacquer is painted on bamboo to strengthen it and change the texture and look of it1 providing a different flavor to bamboo art in ,Taiwan4 ,In general1 improved paints and tools1 and a greater level of skill in making bamboo art have raised the quality of what is produced over the years4 33333333333333333333 bx1ks`*`cw12a/1h:ahw"ou`k31d!aky'k*",

personality as well4 ,They said that ,I had a pleasant disposition1 just like a friendly dog4 ,I must say there were both benefits and drawbacks to having such a cuddly nickname4 ,The nickname brought a certain intimacy to my friendships with my classmates1 and ,I enjoyed the bond it created between us4 ,However1 some people who didn't know me well enough tended to misjudge me4 ,They might have thought ,I wasn't a smart or serious person because of my nickname4 ,This actually did bother me a lot1 and after some time1 ,I asked my friends to stop calling me by that nickname4 ,Most of my friends respected my decision1 although a few continued to call me 8,Puppy0 just for fun4 ,I think it's important to take a person's feelings into account when considering whether to call someone by a certain nickname4 33333333333333333333 ks"e."e|`d3'gu1*'."23`hw"k%'a&'i:1/" d>`/"a_"s`k!"s'm<"d!ab3"r%"- s1|1*'fx" q>`cx1a:'ey123`d!apz1s`mu1lw'i:`k{"3` 88>'k(`00- 3`o*"e|'bz1gu"23`d*1j8"r3"d3'
