Concerns a few years ago that students would be forced to use stimulants in the fight fo

r class rank and honors thus seem to be exaggerating, but the reality is equally disturbing: a lifestyle【M1】______ running contrary to all the work habits that higher education stands for. There s an intriguing historic precedent at the origins of【M2】______ amphetamines. Introduced in 1938 under the trademark Pervitin as the answer to American Benzedrin, they were less an imposition of Nazi authorities and military commanders but a popular coping【M3】______ mechanism for stressed wartime soldiers and civilians like,【M4】______ according to a study by Dutch historians of medicine. Many students and professionals were described Pervitin for【M5】______ performance, but others took it recreationally. And there was even an early intimation of the 1960s drug culture. The physician-writer Gottfried Benn wanted amphetamines to be used by infantrymen【M6】______ but by students, to develop the human brain to new levels—how lucky he was that he didnt live to see the decline of his ideals among undergraduates. The trouble with considering policy for performance- enhancing use of drugs like Adderall is in what was already【M7】______ apparent in the 1930s: people use them for similar purposes,【M8】______ sometimes productively and sometimes disastrously, something German physicians called "the toxic equation." But the contemporary American debate has alarming side not present at【M9】______ the beginning, the idea that performance-enhancement is "cheating." Does that mean drinking at Starbucks is doping? Its a counterproductive argument so it assumes that these drugs work【M10】______ consistently and give users an organic advantage, as opposed to the placebo effect. Its much better to address the patterns that lead to abuse.

Forget fit, tanned and sporty—the new generation of Australians is fast becoming fat, pa

le and lazy. A love of junk food, television and computer games has sent the countrys waistline ballooning, with Australians weighing in as the world s fattest【M1】______ nation after the United States. Rather than hitting the beaches, thousands of young Australians are heading to the couch with a【M2】______ bag of popcorn, with one child in every four classifying as【M3】______ overweight or obese. The trend is squashing the widely-held imagery of Australians being sun-bronzed and superfit. " The rate【M4】______ of obesity, particularly among children, seems to be going up faster in Australia than anywhere else in the world, and we dont【M5】______ know why," said Dr Peter Williams, the president of the Dietitians【M6】______ Association of Australia. A sedentary lifestyle. and a changing diet has doubled the number of obese Australians and treble the army of fat children in【M7】______ the past decade, pushing direct health costs related to childhood obesity to about $380 million a year. Data shows childhood obesity in Australia is rising at the rate of one percent a year, a trend suggests half of all young Australians will be overweight by【M8】______ 2025. Australias rapid weight gained has health agencies and state【M9】______ governments racing to find ways to encourage people to get on their feet and shed some kilometers—while sending the【M10】______ weight-loss industry skipping to the bank, pocketing $1 billion a year.

Engaging in a hobby like reading a book, making a patchwork quilt or even playing comput

er games can delay the onset of dementia, a US study suggests. Watching TV but does not【M1】______ count—and indeed spending significant periods of time in front of the box may speed up with memory loss, researchers found.【M2】______ Nearly 200 people aged 70 to 89 with mild memory problems were compared to a group who had no impairment. The researchers【M3】______ from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota asked the volunteers about their daily activities within the past year and how mental active【M4】______ they had been between the age of 50 to 65. Those who had during middle age busy reading, playing games or engaging in craft【M5】______ hobbies like patchworking or knitting was found to have a 40%【M6】______ reduced risk of memory impairment. In later life, those same activities reduced the risk by between 30 and 50%. Those who watched TV for less than 7 hours a day were also 50% more likely【M7】______ to develop memory loss than those who spent longer than that staring at the screen. "This study is exciting because it demonstrates that age does【M8】______ not need to be a passive process," said study author and neuroscientist Dr Yonas Geda. "By simply engaging in cognitive exercise, you can protect against future memory loss. Of course, the challenge with this type of research is what we are relying on【M9】______ past memories of the participants, therefore we need to conform【M10】______ these findings with additional research."

The debate about problem drinking and how to stop it nowadays centres most on the working

-class young. They are【M1】______ highly visible—and inaudible—as they clog city centres on【M2】______ Saturday nights. But a chapter in a forthcoming book, Intoxication and Society, by Philip Withington, a Cambridge historian, argues that it was the educated elite whom taught Britons how to drink to【M3】______ excess. In the 17th century, England experienced a rise in educational enrolment unsurpassedly until the early 20th century. Illiteracy inclined and the universities of Cambridge and Oxford,【M4】______ as well as the Inns of Court and Chancery where barristers learned their craft, brimming with affluent young men. This was the【M5】______ crucial period which modern drinking culture was formed. Mr【M6】______ Withingtons description of 17th-century drinking practices will sound familiar to anybody who has been within a few miles of a British university. It was characterised by two conflicting aims. Men were to consume large qualities of alcohol in keeping with【M7】______ conventions of excess. Yet they also supposed to remain in control【M8】______ of their faculties, bantering and displaying wit. Students and would-be lawyers formed drinking societies, where they learned the social—and drinking—skills required of gentlemen. A market in instruction quickly emerged. Collections filled with jokes, quotes and fun facts proliferated, promised to teach, as【M9】______ John Cotgraves Wits Interpreter put it, "the art of drinking, by a most learned method". Mirroring the standardisation of language after the invention of the printing press, codes of intoxication were disseminated to many a wider audience as society became more【M10】______ literate and censorship declined.

It is a success in so far as more women retain their youthful appearance to a greater ag

e than in the past. "Old ladies" are already becoming rare. In a few years, we may well believe, they will be extinctive. Ugliness is one of the symptoms of disease. In【M1】______ so far as the campaign for more beauty is also a campaign for more health, it is admirable but genuinely successful. Beauty that is【M2】______ merely the artificial shadow of these symptoms of health is intrinsically poorer quality than the genuine article. The apparatus【M3】______ for mimicking the symptoms of health is now within the reach of every moderately prosperity person; the knowledge of the way in【M4】______ which real health can be achieved is growing, and will in time, no doubt, universally acted upon. When that happy moment comes,【M5】______ will every woman be beautiful—as beautiful, at any rate, as the natural shape of his features, with or without surgical and chemical【M6】______ aid permits? The answer is obvious: No. For real beauty is as much an affair of the inner as the outer self. The beauty of a porcelain jar is【M7】______ the matter of shape, of colour, of surface texture. The jar may be【M8】______ empty or tenanted by spiders, full of honey or stinking slime—it makes no difference as to its beauty or ugliness. But a woman is【M9】______ lively, and her beauty is therefore not skin deep. The surface of the【M10】______ human vessel is affected by the nature of its spiritual contents.

For centuries, immigrants have come to America seeking the promise of life, liberty, and

the pursuit of happiness. Some came fleeting religious persecution. Others came for the possibility of a【M1】______ better life. But all were inspired by the freedoms that exist in the United States because of the rule of law.

Lax enforcement of our【M3】______ immigration laws threatens the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that has made America that it is today.

Because these rulings prohibit【M8】______ criminal immigrants from detained longer than six months【M9】______ when they cannot be deported, federal officials have been forced to【M10】______ release thousands of criminal immigrants into our communities.

For people suffering from depression, the advice is usually the same: seek help. This sim

ple-sounding directive, moreover, is【M1】______ often difficult for those with depression to follow because one common symptom of the disease is denial or lack of aware.

Starting in the mid-1990s, major American cities began a radical transformation. Years o

f high violent crime rates, thefts, robberies, and inner-city decay suddenly started to turn around. Crime rates didnt just hold steadily, and they began falling faster than【M1】______ they went up. That trend appeared in practically every【M2】______ post-industrial American city, simultaneously. "The drop of crime in the 1990s effected all geographic areas【M3】______ and demographic groups," Steven D. Levitt wrote in his landmark paper on the subject, Understanding Why Crime Fell in the 1990s, and elucidated further in a best-selling book Freakonomics. "It【M4】______ was unanticipated that it was widely dismissed as temporary or【M5】______ illusory long after it had begun." He went on to tie the drop to the legalization of abortion 20 years much earlier, dismissing police【M6】______ tactics as a cause but they failed to explain the universality and【M7】______ unexpectedness of the change. Alfred Blumsteins The Crime Drop in America pinned the cause of crime solely on the crack epidemic but gave the credit for its appearance to those self-same【M8】______ policing strategies. Plenty of other theories have been offered to account for the double-digit decrease in violence, from the advent of "broken windows" policies, three strikes laws, changing demographics, gun control laws, and the increasing prevalence of cellphones or an【M9】______ upturn in the economy and cultural shifts in American society. Some of these theories have disproven outright while others【M10】______ require a healthy dose of assumption to turn correlation into causation.
