24、Choose the best answer (根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)
A new research suggests that children who are brought up on healthy diets are more intelligent compared with those junk food eaters. It was found toddlers (蹒跚学步的孩子) who are fed a diet high in fats, sugars, and processed foods had lower IQs than those fed pasta, salads and fruit. The effect is so great that researchers from the University of Bristol said those children with a “healthier” diet may get an IQ improvement. Scientists stressed a good diet was vital in a child’s early life as the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life. This indicated head growth at this time is linked to intellectual ability and it is possible that good nutrition during this period may encourage the best brain growth.
Scientists followed the long-term health and happiness of around 14, 000 children born in 1991 and 1992 as part of the West Country’s Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). Parents were quizzed about the types and frequency of the food and drink their children consumed when they were three, four, seven and eight and a half years old. Their answers were marked on a sliding scale (浮动计算表). Minus two is for the healthiest while ten is for the unhealthiest. IQ was measured by a test—the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (韦氏儿童智力量表) —of 4, 000 children when they were eight and a half years old. The results found after considering some other factors, a mainly processed food diet at the age of three was connected with a lower IQ at the age of eight and a half, but whether the diet was improved after that age would never influence the result. Every one point increase in dietary score was connected with a 1.67 fall in IQ.

A.fats, sugars and pasta

D.processed foods and fruit

【5】The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children is used to test kids’ ________.

B.The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children tested nearly 14, 000 children’s IQs.
C.Researchers from the University of Bristol helped the toddlers get high IQs.
D.A mainly processed food diet in the babies’ life could lower down their IQs.

26、Kato Lomb was born at an exciting time. It was 1909 in Budapest, and the world that she grew up in was about to see great changes.
After getting her degree(学位)in chemistry, she saw little hope of getting a job in the scientific fields. So she decided to teach English. She just had to learn it first. In her language learning, Kato started reading cheap but exciting novels(小说), carrying a dictionary with her all the time.
Her way of language learning made sense—if the story is exciting enough, it can keep you going past what you don’t understand. In the end, you can pick up what you need from the context(上下文). The reading took her further than she could have imagined.

Not stopping at English, she learned French, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese and quite a few other languages that she used to work as a translator.

29、Crayon Crisis
The telephone rang. It was my sister, who was working in an elementary school. She told me she used my crayon ________ again.
Over 40 years ago, I sat in my first-grade classroom when the teacher asked me to go to the principal’s office. I was shy. And I hated to be ________. For me, being called to the principal’s office was my worst dream.
When I pushed open the door, it was worse than I thought. Seated in front of the principal’s desk were my ________. My father walked straight over to me. Holding my drawings, he asked, “Why do you only use a black crayon when you draw?” I couldn’t speak. “Show me your desk,” said my father.
