　In the U.S.，speaking more than one language fluently is not very common except in Los Angeles，California.

　 The city has one of the largest population in the U.S.of young people between the ages of 18 and 34.This generation is often called millennials（新千年一代）.More than half of millennials in Los Angeles are bilingual （双语的），which means they speak more than one language.

　 Maria Elena Burgos is cooking a Mexican breakfast.She says making Mexican food is just one of the many traditions in her home.Another is speaking Spanish to her children.

　 "We want them to be bilingual.We want to keep the Spanish somewhere in their learning too，not only at home."

　 When Ms Burgos first came to the United States from Mexico，she learned English.She knew her children would learn English quickly.So she wanted them to speak Spanish at home and study the language at school.

　 She says being bilingual will give them more opportunities in the future.Knowing Spanish also means the children can talk with their relatives in Mexico.

　Children grow taller in rural households where their mothers are supported to grow their own food，according to a new research from the University of East Anglia （UEA）.The research，which looked at households in some developing countries，showed growing their own food helped mothers to prevent their children from being stunted，wasting away and underweight.Their children"s food was more varied，meaning these children had access to different classes of food nutrients.

　 The team from UEA analyzed studies that introduced women to home farming in some African and Asian countries.The home farming included growing brightly colored vitamin A﹣rich fruit and vegetables，and sometimes also included chicken farming.The health of these women"s children was assessed over the next year or more，and they did better than children of other women.No studies，however，reported on children"s eye health.The researchers concluded

　that high﹣quality trials are needed to assess the impact of home food production on nutritional blindness in children，which is caused by an insufficient intake of vitamin A．

　 Around 250 million pre﹣school children are deficient in vitamin A，according to the World Health Organization.Vitamin A deficiency is the main global cause of childhood blindness，which also increases the risk of dying from other childhood diseases and vitamin A plays a significant role in normal immune function.It remains one of the most widespread micronutrient deficiencies globally.

　 Mrs Chizoba Bassey led the team conducting the systematic review.She said， "Well﹣evidenced interventions such as vitamin A supplementation programs should be adopted and expanded to children at greatest risk to prevent nutritional blindness."

　 Currently there is not enough evidence of the effects of home gardening on xerophthalmia（干眼症），night blindness or the death rate in children，but the evidence from the research shows that if women take up home gardening，the risk of being stunted，wasting away and underweight in their children will be reduced.Home farming may help to achieve sustainability in controlling vitamin A deficiency and can assist vitamin A supplementation programs where they are available. （1）What does the new study focus on？

　 A.Fruit and vegetables suitable for family gardening. B.The development of farming in Africa and Asia. C.Rural children"s health problems. D.Benefits of home farming. （2）What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3？

　 A.The importance of nutrients. B.Causes of childhood blindness. C.Health risks of lack of vitamin A. D.Ways to improve kids" immune function. （3）Which of the following may Mrs Bassey agree with？

　 A.Nutritional blindness is preventable. B.Most of pre﹣school kids suffer from a nutrient deficiency. C.Home food production has proved good for children"s eyes.

　D.Vegetables grown by housewives have higher nutritional value. （4）What does the author want to express in the last paragraph？

　 A.The urgency of doing further research. B.The necessity of encouraging home farming. C.The difficulty in controlling vitamin A deficiency. D.The relationship between home gardening and xerophthalmia. （3）
