21、 A new UBC Okanagan study finds children not only gain the benefits of working with therapy (治疗) dogs – they enjoy it too.
“While we do frequently see children improve in therapy dog programs, we didn’t have data to support that they enjoyed the time as well,” says Nicole Harris, who conducted this research while a master’s student in the School of Education.
The research saw 22 children from the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club take part in a series of sessions to help them build their social skills. Over six weeks, the children were accompanied by therapy dogs as they completed lessons. Each week the children were taught a new skill, such as introducing themselves or giving directions to others. The children would first practice with their assigned therapy dog before running through the exercise with the rest of the group. In the final phase, the children, accompanied by their new furry friend, would practice their new skills with university students located in the building.
“Therapy dogs are often able to reach children and facilitate their growth in surprising ways. We saw evidence of this in the social skills of children when they were paired with a therapy dog,” says Dr. John-Tyler Binfet, associate professor in the School of Education and director of BARK. “The dogs helped create a non-threatening climate while the children were learning these new skills. By interacting with them, the children’s moods improved and their engagement in their lessons increased. ” While the children were learning and practising their new skills, the research team collected data.
At the end of the six weeks, Harris interviewed eight children, aged 5 to 11 years old, who regularly attended the sessions. Each child indicated the social skill-training program with therapy dogs was an enjoyable and positive experience and the dogs were a meaningful and essential part of the program.
As a full-time elementary school teacher, Harris notes that schools have become increasingly important in helping students develop social and emotional skills, and this research could contribute to the development of future school-based or after-school programs.
【1】What was Harris’s research meant to explore?
A．When and how children could learn new social skills well.
B．Whether working with therapy dogs was pleasant to kids.
C．Why therapy dogs benefited kids’ learning of social skills.
D．What helped children learn and practice new social skills.
【2】What does the underlined word “facilitate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Promote.
B．Maintain.
C．Influence.
D．Determine.
【3】How was the research conducted?
A．The behavior of 22 children aged 5 to 11 was recorded.
B．The participants were taught a skill and tested 6 weeks later.
C．University students were also involved to help with the study.
D．Most participants were interviewed at the end of the research.
【4】What does Harris think of the research?
A．It’s an important part of elementary school education.
B．It should be carried out in elementary school separately.
C．It can help develop students’ social and emotional skills.
D．It serves as reference for developing school programs.
22、William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favourably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produced his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 70. He died in 1939, aged 73.
【1】Which of the following can describe Yeats's family?
A．It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter.
B．It was shocked by Yeats's choice.
C．It was a typically wealthy family.
D．It had an artistic atmosphere.
【2】According to the passage, which is NOT TRUE about Yeats’ poems?
A．The theme of his poems includes love, nature, history, time and aging.
B．His poems catch more attention than his dramatic works.
C．His poems only receive recognition in Ireland.
D．His poems carried traditional forms and modern sensibility.
【3】Where is the text most probably taken from?
A．A travel guide.
B．A literary journal.
C．A science book.
D．A health magazine.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．Yeats's literary achievements.
B．Yeats's historical influence.
C．Yeats's artistic ambition.
D．Yeats's national honour.
23、 Mom was right! If you say "thank you" for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, you'll feel as happy as Larry.
Gratitude, says Robert A. Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, is an important element of happiness. In his recent book, Thanks!Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom's point. In acknowledging and developing this much-ignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited-even improved their health.
Expressing gratitude shouldn't be a reaction； it should be a state of mind. To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than you need is easy. To feel grateful in time of crisis-anger, hatred and bitterness-is easier. Also, too many people are aware of life's blessings only after these are lost.
It's crisis and chaos-danger, disease, disability and death-that bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others. Yet it's the way each of us begins life and ends it. It's too bad that so many people waste those decades in between labouring under the illusion that they are self-sufficient, says Emmons.
The abundance of voices expressing gratitude from his studies of individuals with chronic health problems is many. But Emmons goes beyond his groundbreaking" science to make his case for gratitude by including the inspirational writings of philosophers, novelists and saints, as well as the beliefs of various religions and their respective scriptures. Taken together, these observations are summed up quite nicely by famous humanist Albert Schweitzer, who said the secret of life is "giving thanks for everything".
To enable and embrace gratitude, Emmons encourages the readers of Thanks! to keep a gratitude diary. He even provides easy-to-follow directions on how to practice and develop gratitude.
I'm not a reader or advocate of self-help books, but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Emmons was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients. The chance discovery led me to this book.
Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. So I'll pay attention to her Professional advice and say: Thank you, Professor Emmons.
【1】What is the text mainly discussed?
A.There are many ways of being thankful. B.Mom is great for her being thankful.
C.Gratitude is important to happiness. D.Being thankful will keep you fit forever.
【2】The author mentions Robert Emmons' book Thanks! in order to prove that_________.
A.Professor Emmons supports mom's study on psychology.
B.mom is as great a psychologist as Professor Emmons.
C.Professor Emmons is a famous psychologist.
D.mom is right about her viewpoint on gratitude.
【3】What is the opinion of Professor Emmons?
A.It is enough to thank others orally.
B.Whether you are thankful is always up to you.
C.Remember to be thankful anytime and anywhere.
D.It is easier to be thankful for yourself than for others.
【4】In the writer's opinion, Emmons' book Thanks! on gratitude is_________.
A.helpful B.unreasonable
C.puzzling D.one-sided
24、There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared (培养). If an individual is handicapped (妨碍) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
【1】This passage can be best titled_________.
A.Intelligence and Environment
B.Measuring Your Intelligence
C.The Case of Peter and Mark
D.How the brain Influences Intelligence
【2】According to the passage, the average I.Q. is _____.
A.85 B.125 C.110 D.100
【3】The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______.
A.individual with identical brains seldom test at same level
B.an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environment
C.changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain
D.lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
【4】This passage suggests that an individual's I.Q.______.
A.can be increased by education
B.stays the same throughout his life
C.can be predicted at birth
D.is determined by his childhood
