  They say that sticks and stones may break your bones,but words will never hurt you.Yet childhood bullying really can damage your long-term health.

  Gone are the days when bullying was considered an inevitable and ultimately harmless part of growing up—iust last month we learned that childhood bullying can lead to poorer mental  health even into middle age.

  Now William Copeland at Duke University in Durham,North Carolina,and his colleagues have shown that it can have lingering physiological effects too.They tracked 1420 9-year-olds right through their teens.Each child was seen up to nine times during the study and quizzed about bullying.The team then measured levels of C-reactive protein in their blood.CRP is a marker of inflammation(炎癥)linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease (心血管疾病)and problems like diabetes.

  “Because we were collecting biological samples throughout,we were able to look at CRP levels in subjects prior to their bullying involvement.”says Copeland.“This really gives us an idea of the changes bullying brings about.”

  Although CRP levels naturally rise in everyone during adolescence,levels were highest in children who reported being tormented by bullies.Even at the ages of 1 9 and 2 1,children who had once been bullied had CRP levels about 1.4 times higher than peers who were neither perpetrators nor victims.In a cruel twist,the bullies had the lowest levels of all.suggesting they didn’t suffer the same health risks. They may even see a benefit from their behavior,though Copeland stresses it doesn’t vindicate(辯護)their actions.“The goal would instead be to find other ways to produce this protective effect without it being at someone else’s expense,”he says.

  Andrea Danese at King’s College London has previously shown that maltreatment during childhood can lead to higll levels of inflammation in adult life.“This new study is a helpful addition in showing that these effects extend to another important childhood stressor,”he says.He suggests that care workers could monitor levels of CRP in children having psychotherapy to see if it is helping to soothe the stress of being bullied.

  Questions 61 to65 are based on thefollowingpassage.

  Here’s a case study for would-be MBAs to consider:the success of H Mart.an international supermarket chain based in New Jersey(the“H”in H Mart stands for Han Ah Reum.which means“one arm full of groceries”in Korean).Tlle first H Mart opened in Queens,New York in 1982,as a corner shop.Now there are stores in 11 states,Canada and Britain.A new one recently opened in Cambridge.

  Massachusetts,an affluent city outside Boston.

  The future looks bright for Asian supermarkets like H Mart.Eamings of Asian-American households outpace the American average.Their spending exceeds all other groups,too,according to Geoscape,a consultancy.And they spend more of their money on groceries than the average America household.But Asian delicacies can be hard to come by:few Americans are likely to see durian or bamboo shoots in their local shop.Some specialty ingredients are only to be found at a premium(高價)in up-market grocery stores,or miles away,in ethnic markets in older Asian neighborhpods.

  Americans have developed greater appetite for cooking and eating Asian foods,t00.In 2012 non.restaurant sales of Asian foods topped $1.5 billion,according to Mintel Group.a market.research firm.Though Latin foods are a bigger market,the popularity of Asian foods is growing faster.Once strange.seeming imports like seaweed and sashimi are now fashionable eats.Though the rate of growth is expected to fall,sales are likely to keep rising.

  Yet most Asian grocers have not made efforts to reach new customers,says Jeffrey Cohen,an analyst at IBIS World,an industries watcher.Many shops are located in minority enclaves,and do little to market themselves to other Americans.Cramped car parks and dingy interiors fend off customers used to the bright fluorescence(熒光)of mainstream supermarkets.Ingredients labeled with poorly-translated English Can leave shoppers bamed.

  A few Asian grocery chains have caught on,opening stores in more diverse suburbs,paying attention to cosmetic niceties(細節)and marketing more widely.Other than H Mart,there are   Califomian chains such as 99 Ranch Market and Shun Fat Supermarket,which have been expanding to the American southwest.The former was even featured in a humorous YouTube music vide—“Asians Eat Weird Things”—which has attracted more than 900,000 hits.Those weird things may not seem so weird after all.
