| Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will"obey" spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word "obey" is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can"t be said to show the baby"s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意 的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world.Thus the use at seven months of"mama" as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds. | |||

| A. is important because words have different meanings for different people B. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age C. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually D. is one that should be completely ignored (忽略) because children"s use of words is often meaningless | |||

| Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent Our intelligence is given to US at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding (环境). Thus the limits of person" s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supposed in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical (完全相同的) twins and put them in different environments. We might send one,for example,to a university and the other to a factory where the working is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence. | |||
| 1. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can _____. | |||
| A. become a genius B. not reach his intelligence in his life C. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings D. still become a genius if he should be given special education | |||
| 2. In the second paragraph, the underlined sentence means "if we _____." | |||
| A. pick any two persons B. take out two different persons C. choose two persons who are relative D. choose two persons with different intelligence | |||
| 3. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _____. | |||
| A. the part that birth plays B. the importance of their positions C. the importance of their intelligence D. the role of environment on intelligence | |||
| 4. The best title of the passage can be _____. | |||
| A. Surroundings C. Dependence on Environment B. Intelligence D. Effect of Education | |||

| Doctors may now be able to stop many heart attacks. An important new study reports that doctors have a new drug. This drug is called TPA. It may be better than any other heart drugs. Many doctors now use a drug called streptokinase. But this drug sometimes causes problems for patients. It can even cause bleeding(流血)in the brain. Some doctors do not use streptokinase. Streptokinase can save about 1/3 of the people with heart attacks. But TPA will save about 2/3. One reason TPA can help more people is because of time. This new drug is easier and faster to use. It will give doctors more time in hospitals. Then they can study the problem well. People with heart problems can also keep some TPA at home. When a heart attack starts, they can take some TPA right away. Then they will have time to get to the hospital. This is important because about 860,000 people in the United States die before they get to the hospital. This is another reason why TPA is good news for people with heart attacks. According to the study, it is much safer; it doesn"t cause other problems like streptokinase does. TPA works only on the heart. It does not have an effect on the blood or cause bleeding. Doctors plan to do more studies about TPA. They need to test this new drug on many more people with heart attacks. But in a few years, many doctors and hospitals will probably start using this exciting new drug. | |||
| 1. In your opinion, the best title for this passage is _____. | |||
| A. Heart Attacks B. A New Drug for Heart Attacks C. The Cause of Heart Attacks D. A Drug Called Streptokinase | |||
| 2. The story says that TPA_____ . | |||
| A. is safer and faster than the old drug B. is very dangerous C. is slower and harder to use than the old drug D. causes many problems | |||
| 3. This new drug may mean _____. | |||
| A. more people will die from heart attacks B. the same number of people will die from heart attacks C. fewer people will die from heart attacks D. no one will die from heart attacks | |||
| 4. Which of the following is TRUE? | |||
| A. Streptokinase is the new drug for heart attacks. B. TPA can save fewer people with heart attacks than streptokinase. C. People who take TPA at home before they go to hospital must be very careful. D. Probably TPA will be widely used in America in the following years. | |||

| Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with the ir husbands, and othe rs raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists. In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her fathe r collected fossils (化石) in the ir village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years. When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons (骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn"t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family. In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. the y received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with anothe r scientist. Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911, this time for Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist. | |||
