It is common knowledge that as women get older, pregnancy becomes a riskier enterprise. Advanced maternal age is linked to a number of developmental disorders in children, such as Down‘s syndrome. Now, a study has confirmed that older mothers are more likely to give birth to a child with autism, too. The authors of the epidemiological study published February 8 in Autism Research, examined the parental age of more than 12,000 children with autism and nearly five million ―control children between 1990 and 1999, all living in California. The researchers found that mothers over 40 had a 51 percent higher risk of having a child with autism than mothers 25 to 29, and a 77 percent higher risk than mothers under 25. Autism – a developmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication – appears to be on the rise. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now estimates that as many as one in 110 children in the U.S. has an autistic spectrum disorder – a group of developmental disorder including autism, Asperger‘s syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder. The prevalence of autistic spectrum disorders in California in 2007 was 12 times that from 1987, representing an average annual growth of 13 percent, according to a report from the California Department of Developmental Service. Only a fraction of these extra cases can be explained by changes to diagnostic criteria and earlier diagnoses. Maternal age is also increasing in the US. California-based study reported a threefold increase in the number of births to women aged 40 to 44 between 1982 and 2004. But this trend toward delayed childbearing accounted for less than 5 percent of the total increase in autism diagnoses in California over the decade, according to the study – a finding that surprised Janie Shelton, a doctoral student in University of California, Davis‘s Department of Public Health Sciences and the study‘s lead author. “I would have expected to see more of a contribution, because age is a risk factor and women are having kids later”,‖ she says. Earlier work had suggested that both maternal and paternal ages are independently associated with autism risk. But the current study found that paternal age is only a risk factor when the mother is under 30. Which of the following according to the text is implied about autism in children? A. It is genetically transmitted. B. It was not detected until recently. C. It is getting more infectious. D. It makes children antisocial. E. It was among California children.

Many modern educational experts claim that teaching facts and academic skills is less important than achieving other social objectives. For some liberals, the schools must first change attitudes or provide nurturing in place of failed families or help establish equality and social justice. For some conservatives, the school must first prepare kids for the workplace by molding them into supple corporate citizens, while others want the focus to be on family values, a competitive spirit, or other social or behavioral objectives. But the idea of simply educating kids seems to have taken a backseat to most educational experts and administrators. They miss the point that kids with real academic skills, especially skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, are more likely to overcome social barriers, more likely to have genuine self esteem, and most likely to be genuinely prepared for the challenges of life and the workplace. By emphasizing so many things besides a genuine, classical education, tile educational establishment tends to soli our kids short and bring about many of the problems they claim to be solving. Consider the case of Wesley Elemontary School in Houston. According to Richard Nadlor in the article, "Failing Grade", Wesley has all the demographic markers of a school bound for failure. Over 80% of the students qualify for subsidized lunches, and nearly all are minorities (92% black, 7% Hispanic). Yet it ranks among the best schools of Houston, with first-graders placing at the 82nd percentile level in reading tests which is 50 points higher than the expected level for similar at-risk schools. What has made Wesley so successful? The answer is classical education in the form of Direct Instruction curriculum designed by Siegfried Engelmann, an example of the much ridiculed "sage-onthe-stage" approach. This Direct Instruction system boosts reading, writing, and math scores by 30 to 40 percentile points in at-risk schools. Sadly, Engelmann, like others who successfully challenge popular fads in educational reform, has been rejected by much of the educational establishment. His success is an embarrassment to them. Given the baseline score in reading is 23 percentile points, which of the following most likely reflects the maximum impact of Direct Instruction on the students learning achievement in Wesley Elementary School? A. 45 B. 53 C. 63 D. 85 E 95

Scientists are as obsessed with the question of why the super old survive and thrive as Ponce de Leon was theFountain of Youth. They want to understand why the Japanese islands of Okinawa are home to the world's largestpopulation of centenarians, with almost 600 of its 1.3 million inhabitants living into their second century–many ofthem are still active and looking decades younger than their actual years. Like weekend visitors on the summerferry to Martha’s Vineyard, scientists and sociologists block the boats to Sardina and Nova Scotia, Canada, to seewhy those craggy locales hide vast clusters of the super old. As well as studying these populations intensively to unlock their secrets, scientists have also taken a hard lookat the very old in the U.S., most notably in the New England Centenarian Study, led by Dr. Thomas Perls, ageriatrician at Boston University. While the very old are happy to offer homespun explanations for theirlongevity–"I never took a drink; "I drank a shot of whiskey every day"–experts are trying to unravel andunderstand the biological factors that allow some people to reach 100 while others drop off in their 70s or 80s.Researchers are particularly interested in determining which factors allow up to 30% of those who reach 100 to doso in sufficient mental and physical health: a whopping 90% of centenarians, according to Perls, remainfunctionally independent up to age 92. It is pretty obvious even to non-scientists that how you get there depends on the genes you are born with andlifestyle–what and how much you eat, where you live, and what types of stress and trauma you experience. Howmuch each of these factors contributes, though, was unknown until Swedish scientist tackled the problem in 1998they looked at a set of people who share genes but not lifestyle: identical twins who were separated at birth andreared apart. If genes were most important, you would expect the twins to die at about same age. In fact, they donot, and the average determined. The dominant factor is lifestyle. Which of the following best express the main idea of the text? A. Several biological factors are at work affecting life span. B. Genes and life styles are essential for a long-life span. C. Elderly people cluster in particular parts of the world. D. Biological factors influence mental and physical health. E. The population of the elderly people is increasing
