26、Children are excited to find brightly wrapped presents under the tree on Christmas morning. They can’t wait to open the wrapping and get the toys that were on their wish lists, such as toy cars. But after the excitement wears off, those toys are usually left to the corner of the toy box and the kids are searching for something else to do. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
A study from the University of Toronto found that giving your child experiences as a gift, instead of toys, improves your child’s intelligence and makes stronger parent-child bonds. “Often the focus is only on whether someone likes a gift rather than focusing on a fundamental purpose of gift giving. Knowing that will foster relationships between the giver and the receiver,” said lead researcher Cindy Chan.
Chan suggested that when you are buying a holiday gift or birthday gift, you should buy something that kids can experience with you. This can be movie or concert tickets, a CD from a performance you already saw to keep the memory alive. For example, for kids, a trip to a museum, going ice-skating or a book that the family can read together over and over again are valuable gifts.
It is found that giving your kids too many toys can be counterproductive and make kids at a loss. The best way to make kids happy is to spend time together.
So, if you want happy and intelligent kids, spending time with them and making memories are the best gifts you can give them. That’s not to say that there shouldn’t be any toys but change the focus from getting things to making lasting memories.
【1】How do children usually deal with toys after the excitement disappears?
A.They give them to their friends
B.They put them aside.
C.They add them to the wish lists.
D.They throw them into the rubbish bin.
【2】What should people focus on when buying gifts according to Cindy Chan?
A.The purpose of giving gifts.
B.The advantage of giving toys.
C.The excitement caused by toys.
D.The gift receiver’s hobby.
【3】What did Cindy Chan advise parents to do in Paragraph 3?
A.Give kids well-wrapped presents.
B.Do something together with kids.
C.Buy kids as many toys as possible
D.Encourage kids to do sport in school.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.The pleasure of giving and receiving
B.A lesson from kids at Christmas
C.Dude Perfect built on friendship
D.Dude Perfect achieved their goal
27、Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. It has become a reality thanks to a newly developed technology. Now, by simply wearing a pair of glasses, you can drive safely at night, or walk home in complete darkness.
This exciting invention came out at the Australian National University(ANU). The technology is made up of a thin film that can be placed on ordinary glasses. The thin film is inexpensive to make and is lightweight, tiny and actually 100 times thinner than a hair.
The international team has made the invisible(看不见的)visible. "Our technology is able to turn infrared(红外线的)light, which is invisible to the human eye, into images people can clearly see, even far away," lead researcher Dr. Morales said.
Their new type of glasses is able to work at room temperature. It has many future applications. Drivers will be able to find ways better at night, especially when driving on unlit roads. Police can use it when searching at night and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark.
ANU Physics Professor, Dragomir Neshev, praised the world—first technology. "This is the first time anywhere in the world that infrared light has been successfully changed into visible images on an extremely thin screen," Neshev said. "It's a really exciting development that will change the landscape of night vision forever."
The inventors are excited to move from the lab towards making practical applications ready for all to use. "While this is the first proof—of—concept(概念验证)experiment, we are actively working to further advance the technology." said Mohsen Rahmani.
【1】Which of the following can best describe the thin film?
A.Expensive and invisible.
B.Ordinary and tiny.
C.Tiny and invisible.
D.Lightweight and inexpensive.
【2】What can people do when wearing the new glasses?
A.Go home quickly.
B.Drive better all the day.
C.Feel anxious while hiking.
D.Find directions easily at night.
【3】What can we know from Neshev and Rahmani's words?
A.The new glasses are the most advanced
B.The new glasses have been used widely.
C.Inventors will change the functions of the glasses.
D.Inventors are working to further improve the glasses.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Technology makes the invisible visible.
B.A new pair of glasses could save lives.
C.A magical film helps us see clearly.
D.Scientists have invented a type of new film.
28、A year ago, we bought our son a bike for his birthday. In this way he could stay more active. Plus, we didn't have to push a tricycle around the neighborhood.
I thought he even wanted to sleep with his bike. He got on, rode, and had a huge smile on his face. When we went out for a walk, he would ask me politely if he could ride his bike. I said yes. Then he would play for a long time and didn't want to go home. He rode in every season: winter, spring, summer and fall.
This year, we had him join in a program called SprocKids started by our local mountain bike club. As you can imagine, my little mountain biker showed great interest in it. On the first night, he tried riding over the obstacles(障碍物), which made me worried and frightened. One obstacle was even taller than me, but he persisted.
Later, one day, he found an old bike in the storeroom. It was mine. He called me out and said, "Mommy, will you go biking with me?" I was surprised because I hadn't biked since high school, but I decided to cycle with him.
I was highly rewarded for my efforts. On the one hand, I took part in an activity with my child. And I didn't have to do all the work by pushing or carrying him. It was an activity he loved and he told me about every path and every move excitedly. On the other hand, we developed a closer bond(关系).
In my opinion, it's very important for kids to stay active. And parents' encouragement is very important for them to stay active. But words of encouragement are not enough. It's better if parents can do a physical activity together with their kids.
【1】Getting a bike for his birthday, the author's son ________.
A.loved it very much
B.wanted a better gift
C.just rode it for fun at times
D.spent much. time learning to ride it
【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.He never gave up.
B.He hardly succeeded.
C.He changed his mind.
D.He became frightened.
【3】What does the author probably think of cycling with her son?
A.It takes her too much time.
B.It completely changes her.
C.It greatly benefits her.
D.It is very tiring.
【4】What does the writer intend to tell us through this passage?
A.Kids love to spend time outdoors.
B.Encouragement is very important to kids.
C.Children should be encouraged to ride a bike.
D.Parents should do physical activities with their kids.
29、 Multiple studies link music study to academic achievement. But what is it about serious music training that seems to correlate with outsize success in other fields? I put the question to top-flight professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious past lives as musicians.
The phenomenon extends beyond the math-music association. Strikingly, many high achievers told me music opened up the pathways to creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens other qualities: Collection. The ability to listen. A way of thinking that weaves together disparate ideas. The power to focus on the present and the future simultaneously.
For many of the high achievers I spoke with, music functions as a “hidden language,” as Mr. Wolfensohn calls it, one that enhances the ability to connect disparate or even contradictory ideas. When he ran the World Bank, Mr. Wolfensohn traveled to more than 100 countries, often taking in local performances, which helped him understand “the culture of people, as distinct from their balance sheet.”
It is in that context that the connection between math and music grabs the most attention. Both are at heart modes of expression. Bruce Kovner, the founder of the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxton Associates, says he sees similarities between his piano playing and investing strategy; as he says, both “relate to pattern recognition, and some people extend these patterns across different senses.”
For Roger McNamee, whose Elevation Partners is perhaps best known for its early investment in Facebook, “music and technology have converged,” he says. He became expert on Facebook by using it to promote his band, Moonalice, and now is focusing on video by live-streaming its concerts. He says musicians and top professionals share “the almost desperate need to dive deep.” This capacity to obsess seems to unite top performers in music and other fields.
“I’ve always believed the reason I’ve gotten ahead is by outworking other people,” he says. It’s a skill learned by “playing that solo one more time, working on that one little section one more time,” and it translates into “working on something over and over again, or double-checking or triple-checking.” He adds, “There’s nothing like music to teach you that eventually if you work hard enough, it does get better. You see the results.”
That’s an observation worth remembering at a time when music as a serious pursuit in decline in this country.
【1】Music training can enhance all of the following abilities except __________.
A.handling the present with a long-range vision
B.listening to different opinions patiently
C.thinking from other people’s perspective
D.identifying connection between different ideas
【2】Bruce Kovner sees a parallel between music and ________.
A.hedge fund B.patterns C.different senses D.mathematics
【3】By saying “music and technology have converged”, Roger McNamee means_________.
A.technology has increased the channels by which music is promoted
B.advanced technology makes sound better than before
C.Facebook has become a platform for promoting music albums
D.musical techniques are directly used in managing business
【4】The underlined word “observation” in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A.the claim that music is the key to success
B.the belief that results determine the value of music
C.the idea that hard work keeps getting you ahead
D.the proposal that one should pursue music seriously
