(76)Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby’s health.长久以来，医生们就已熟知母乳喂养对婴儿健康有益。This is especially true in poor countries, where water can becontaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby’s IQ（智商）by a few points. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding.　　Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference:

Those who were breast-fed stayed longer in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.　　1.

Her family wasimpoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day,but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math.After Maggie graduated from high school高级中学, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886,she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them.

Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.　　Over the years,Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization.

However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.　　The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over接管. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that.
