21、Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.
“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”
George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a high level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.
Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Jones said that while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.
Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.
【1】According to George, reading aloud to children ______.
A. helps them correct mistakes
B. is helpful to their reading
C. is parents’ first duty to their children
D. can get children out of television’s attraction
【2】The underlined word “distraction” (in Paragraph4) means something that can _____.
A. improve children’s reading skills
B. help children form the right habit of reading
C. make children interested in reading
D. stop children concentrating on reading
【3】What is important according to the fourth paragraph?
A. Reading skills. B. Reading speed.
C. Reading materials. D. Reading environment.
【4】The best title for the passage would be ______.
A. Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents
B. Parents Are Their Child’s First Teacher
C. How Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader
D. How to Improve Children’s Reading Ability
22、 A new report suggests that young people are aware of their parents drinking and it may well have an impact on their relationship with alcohol. How much you drink, how often you say, 'Ah, that's nice,' while imbibing and whether you use alcohol as a reward can all encourage adolescents to drink, according to a report last week from the Institute of Alcohol Studies.
Parents often assume their children don’t notice their drinking, but they do Children can also tell the difference in levels of being drunk, and one in five said they had been embarrassed by their parents' drinking, while others said that parents had forgotten their bedtime or argued with them more than usual.
If you have a warm parenting style, but clear expectations for your children's behavior, this can protect your children from drinking. The report has clear guide-lines for parents: don't glamorize (美化) alcohol, always talk about its risks as part of a conversation about alcohol and don't talk about feeling sick because your children will then think it's normal to throw up and have a headache after a drinking session.
But according to Prof Ingeborg RosSow, who studied parental drinking three years ago, the evidence isn't strong enough for any sort of recommendation: 'Despite numerous research findings on this topic, there is rather little we know about causal effects of parental drinking and parenting behaviour on children's alcohol use. ' And that's the truth—it's an association, not evidence of proof (证据). Alcohol marketing, peer (同龄人) pressure and the genes that influence how much you drink are also in play. But, even so, parents who drink in front of their children could make their younger children feel unsafe and their older ones embarrassed. So treat parenting like driving—don't go over the limit.
【1】What does the underlined word 'imbibing' in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Taking exercise. B.Writing a report.
C.Giving a reward. D.Drinking alcohol.
【2】What are parents advised to do according to the report?
A.Give up drinking alcohol.
B.Limit their children’s alcohol use.
C.Let their children know the danger of alcohol.
D.Avoid talking about alcohol with their children.
【3】What can be learned from RosSow's words?
A.Peer pressure is strong among children.
B.Alcohol marketing is going over the limit.
C.It is inspiring that more parents are giving up alcohol.
D.It is unclear whether parents drinking leads to children's alcohol use.
【4】From whom is the text intended?
A.Parents. B.Teachers. C.Teenagers. D.Researchers.
23、As any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings (扣人心弦) in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.
Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them---whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response---suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’s cry.
A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds, two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women-even if they had no children,
Researcher Dr, Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary view that both men and women would be responding to these cries,” The study involved people who were not parents, yet they are all responding quickly to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.
Researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they were played the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying or high-pitched (高音的) birdsong. The findings could help shed light on post-natal (产后的) depression---where mothers struggle to bond with their newborn---by showing how a healthy brain responds to a baby’s cries.
【1】A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it .
A. keeps on crying
B. cries harder than adults
C. causes people great pain
D. makes people feel strong emotions
【2】The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”
A. remove B. avoid
C. cause D. cure
【3】What may Christine Parsons agree to?
A. Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cries.
B. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.
C. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.
D. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cry.
【4】People’s response to baby’s cry can be understood from .
A. a developing values
B. a view of parents
C. a view of the fundamental emotion
D. a view of the development of human
【5】Computer games are mentioned in the text to show .
A. players’ different reactions to a crying baby
B. baby’s crying contributes to quicker reactions
C. the influence of baby’s and adult’s crying on performance
D. it’s hard to keep one’s concentration with a crying baby nearby
24、I am different from the rest of my family in appearance. When people see us together, it is clear that I am adopted, because I am a Chinese girl while they are all Americans. I’m happy that I have such a loving and caring family, but sometimes I wish I knew who my birth parents are.
People may wonder if I am sad that I don’t know who my parents are. I know they are concerned about me. I feel like there is something missing in my life, like a big hole in my heart. My teacher listened when I told her about my feelings, and she thought she should do something. Encouraged by my teacher’s strong recommendation, Mom and I went to Chinese Heritage Camp of Snow Mountain Ranch. Now, we take part in it every year.
Chinese Heritage Camp is a two-day camp where hundreds of adopted kids like me spend time with each other. We feel close to each other. We understand each other. We talk about how it feels to be adopted, and we take part in fun outdoor activities. It’s great because we can talk about our feelings freely without worrying about other things. We talk, laugh, cry, and dance. It makes me feel like I’m not alone, and that there is someone out there going through the same feelings.
Now if I am asked that question, I will answer, “Maybe I won’t know who my birth parents are forever, and that made me a little sad. But I do know that I live with my real parents in a real house, with loving and caring family members. I’m thankful, and I love my life just the way it is. ”
