阅读理解     When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is packed with swimming, camp, and family
vacations, it can be a challenge to find time for learning.But kids" reading skills don"t have to grow cold
once school"s out.Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun:
     Explore your library.Visit your local library to check out books and magazines that your kids haven"t
seen before.Many libraries have summer reading programs, book clubs, and reading contests for even
the youngest borrowers.With a new library card, a child will feel extra grownup checking out books.
     Read on the road.Going on a long car trip?Make sure the back seat is stocked with favorite reads.
When you"re not at the wheel, read the books aloud.Get some audiobooks (many libraries have large
selections) and listen to them together during driving time.
     Make your own books.Pick one of your family"s favorite parts of summer-whether it"s baseball, ice
cream, or the pool-and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines.Stick the
pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it.When you"re done, read the book together.
Reread it whenever you like!
     Keep in touch.Kids don"t have to go away to write about summer vacation.Even if your family stays
home, they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures.Ask a relative to be
your child"s pen pal and encourage them to write each week.
     Keep up the reading habits.Even if everything else changes during the summer, keep up the reading
routines around your house.Read with your kids every day-whether it"s just before bedtime or under a

     Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills (读写能力).  With
their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgemental
(不作出评价的) listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence (自信心) ,  according  to
Intermountain Therapy Animals(ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the
country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education
Assistance Dogs( READ).
    The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. "Literacy specialists admit that children who
read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower
self-respect, and regard reading as a headache," said Lisa Myron, manager of the children"s department.
     Last November the two groups started " Dog Day Afternoon" in the children"s department of the main
library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour.
Those who attended three of the four classes received a "pawgraphed" book at the last class.
     The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dada
Thumpowsky,  public relations manager.1. What is mainly discussed in the text?            A. Children"s reading difficulties.

阅读理解      American teens are setting an example for their parents through their volunteer work, according to
the Harris Interactive poll conducted in the United States between Jan.29 and Feb.2 among 2,003 adults.
The random national telephone survey released this week by the Federal Waybased charity World Vision
found that more teens volunteer to support a charitable (慈善的) cause-56 percent-than have a parttime

causes, including volunteering, recruiting others to a cause, wearing a Tshirt or donating money.Fortysix

volunteer.
Sara Johnson, a teacher who advises students at a private school in a Chicago suburb, says she"s seen a
rise of teen involvement in social causes since President Barack Obama was elected in November.
      The Harris Interactive survey found a quarter of teens have become more involved in charitable
causes or organizations as a result of the economic downturn, but the economy has also led to cuts in
allowances, and has teens work more hours at a paying job.
      Alynn Woodson, director of volunteer engagement at Habitat for Humanity International, said she
has noticed a new enthusiasm among teen volunteers for the organization.

     Children pushed in buggies which face away from their parents may suffer longterm emotional and
language problems, according to a study published on Friday.
     The research, believed to be the first of its kind, found that children who were not facing the person
pushing them were less likely to talk, laugh and interact with their parents.
     The findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies
were wheeled in buggies for a mile, facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other
half. Parents using facetoface buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies" heart
rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep, an indication that they were feeling relaxed and safe.
     In addition, only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an awayfacing buggy.
     "Our data suggests that for many babies today, life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and
possibly stressful. Stressed babies grow into anxious adults, " said Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, Developmental
Psychologist at Scotland"s Dundee University who carried out the research.
     The study, which was published by National Literacy Trust as part of its "Talk To Your Baby"
campaign, found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in awayfacing buggies.
     Zeedyk said it would impact negatively on babies" development if they spent a long time in awayfacing
buggies, which would undermine their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain
was developing rapidly.
     Laura Barbour of the Sutton Trust, a social mobility charity which funded the research, said buggy
manufacturers should look closely at the findings.1. Using awayfacing buggies may________.A. benefit both the babies and their parents
B. affect babies" language ability permanently
C. help babies communicate with their parents
D. have positive effect on babies" development2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Parents may talk twice with the babies in awayfacing buggies.
B. The study suggests children feel relaxed and safe in buggies.
C. The samples of the study were 20 babies wheeled in buggies.
D. One of the 20 babies was twice as likely to fall asleep in buggies.3. The underlined word "impoverished" in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to "________". A. poor
B. nervous
C. rich
D. energetic4. National Literacy Trust________.A. has been funding the research for a long time
B. is a social mobility charity funding the research
C. carried out the study of babies pushed in buggies
D. started the campaign named "Talk To Your Baby"5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Best for Kids to Face Parents in Buggy
B. Best for Kids to Communicate with Parents
C. Stressed Babies Grow into Anxious Adults
D. Buggy Manufacturers Care about the Finding
