These cases are still fairly rare One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to be spending more time with their children In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers "This is one of our most significant cultural changes," says Dr Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society In practice, for over 30 years, Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care-taking to general decision (3) around kids' lives." Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula The number of people who work from home nearly full-time rose 23% from the last decade The (4) of technology - computers, faxes, teleconferencing - has made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the (5) of children?

Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colourings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book "Why your Child is Hyperactive" Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective Question 16: The topic of this passage is A reactions to foods B a good diet C food and nutrition D infants and allergies Question 17: The word "symptoms" is closest in meaning to A indications B diagnosis C prescriptions D diet Question 18: The author states that the reason that infants need to avoid certain foods related to allergies has to with the infant's A lack of teeth B poor metabolism C inability to swallow solid foods D underdeveloped intestinal tract Question 19: According to the article the Feingold diet is NOT A verified by researchers as being consistently effective B available in book form C beneficial for hyperactive children D designed to eliminate foods containing certain food additives Question 20: The word "these" refers to A food additives B food colourings C foods high in salicylates D innutritious foods Question 21: According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to A the vast number of different foods we eat B lack of a proper treatment plan C the similarity of symptoms of the allergy to other problems D the use of prepared formula to feed babies Question 22: Which of the following was a suggested treatment for migraines in the passage?

Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more so It takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is required, errors in counting are eliminated Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it reduces the cost of handling money Sony's vision of having a chip embedded in computers TVs and games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily and without having to input credit card details And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and credit-card firms want to be in a position to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactless-payment systems But the new system could prove to be a "disruptive technology" as far as the banks are concerned If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are made every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit card statements but on their mobile phone statements And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies and banks not want to see other payment systems gaining popularity It's too early to say whether banks will miss out and if so, by how much However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic They feel there is reason to he suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing of the past They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street branches as was predicted On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches So, whether we'll become a totally cash-free society remains open to contention Question 26: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
