A noted American psychologist once remarked that childhood is a magical period in one’s life.Indeed it is, for during        one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in mental capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills.Each step         an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities.During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns         skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself independently.At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative.His ability to remember things also       at this stage. He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering.Gradually , he learns elementary skills in problem-solving.At school, particular in        classes, the child is especially creative.Given a piece of paper and some colored pencils, he draws a variety of        from his surroundings as well as from his          circle.It is not surprising to see a child draw a monster to represent an abusive father, and an angel to represent a loving and caring mother.
As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the          of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates. He also learns to         with new life situations, including dates and part-time work. Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play; the more________ and less serious ones manage to take time out of their busy schedules of assignments, reports and tests and examinations to go with their friends on relaxation entertainment.

Climate change is making it harder than usual for scientists to figure out what the future will bring and what impact weather changes will have on society and the economy. An upsurge of severe weather events has already destroyed homes, businesses and lives. Some fairly simple changes may reduce the toll.
In a laboratory test, a house built with conventional techniques is falling apart in hurricane-force winds.
The survivor has stronger shingles, thicker roof boards, and metal straps holding floors together.
Wind tunnel tests were done by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. It says stronger construction costs a little more, but holds up much better to extreme weather.
The growing number of unusually strong storms, like Typhoon Haiyan, has convinced the Chairman of the U. S. Senate Homeland Security Committee, Tom Carper, that extreme weather is the “new norm标准).”
"Extreme weather events have increased in frequency over the past 50 years and are expected to become even more common, more intense, and more costly," said Carper.
Hurricane Sandy hit beachfront businesses along the U.S. East Coast, including Carper"s home state. Insurance companies had to pay out huge claims. To limit such losses, the insurance industry can raise premiums(保险费) for businesses in vulnerable(易受攻击的)locations and offer discounts to clients who make their buildings more resilient with upgraded construction techniques.
Managing risks is the job of insurance brokers like Kevin Connelly of the Graham Company, who spoke to VOA via Skype.
“We are either going to price your insurance at a huge markup, or we are not going to write (sell it) it at all, which is just as bad obviously," said Connelly.
Drought is another suspected consequence of climate change, and dry ground means more wildfires in California. Current mathematical models of climate change do a poor job of predicting the economic impact of drought and other weather events, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Robert Pindyck, who spoke via Skype.
“I think all we can do, taking all of that into account, is come up with some very rough numbers, very rough estimates, "said Pindyck. "Consensus estimates that maybe experts provide, that give us a view of what would the catastrophic outcome look like if we don’t do anything?”
To help deal with this serious problem, Pindyck says policymakers should take actions such as imposing a tax on carbon dioxide emissions. A carbon tax would encourage companies and families to use less energy and generate fewer of the gases thought to be driving changes in the climate. But other analysts say it is unlikely a new tax will get approval in the U.S. Congress any time soon.
小题1:What can be inferred from the passage?
A.There are many severe weather events destroying homes, businesses and lives.
B.Stronger construction will save the expense in the long run.
C.Government should be totally responsible for the weather change.
D.Typhoon Haiyan hit Tom Carper"s home state.
小题2:What natural disasters are not mentioned in the passage?
A.DroughtB.HurricanesC.earthquakesD.wildfires
小题3:In a laboratory test , what kind of houses can stay up?
A.a house built with conventional techniques
B.A house with stronger shingles
C.A house with thinner roof boards
D.a house with metal floors .
小题4:What won’t insurance companies do to limit such losses?
A.pay out huge claims
B.raise premiums(保险费) for businesses in vulnerable(易受攻击的)locations
C.offer discounts to clients who make their buildings more resilient with upgraded construction techniques.
D.price insurance at a huge markup
小题5:What is the attitude of other analysts towards the new tax on carbon dioxide emissions?
A.supportiveB.doubtfulC.indifferentD.positive

Dyslexia(失读症)is a learning disorder, it interferes with the ability to recognise words, and for some readers to understand what they have read.
Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United State. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read words and letters backwards in the wrong order.
But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting(重新传入) their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. The study suggests something that might help dyslexic people learn more quickly - play video games.
Vanessa Harrar of Britain"s University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology. The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear. Doctor Harrar calls this a "sluggish shifting of attention across the senses."
"So, if you are trying to read something and then trying to listen to somebody who"s reading aloud and you"re trying to follow along with what they are reading -- they have to switch their attention from hearing what they are saying to looking at the piece of paper and back again. So we found they have quite sluggish shifting of attention across the senses," said Harrar.
In the study, Doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia, and 19 others without reading problems. The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when they heard a sound, saw a light or experienced both together. Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions.
She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound. But the dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time.
Doctor Harrar feels like playing action video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly.
"Video game types of things pop out of here and there, they move your eyes around the screen quite quickly in response to things quite quickly, and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing. So, the video game is really training the attention system to move quickly," said Harrar.
The study also shows that dyslexic people have the most difficulty going between what they saw and what they heard, this may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read.
When children learn the alphabet,they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.
小题1:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Video Games are good for children.
B.Study Suggests Video Games Might Help Dyslexics
C.A study about Video Games is being carried out.
D.Children with Dyslexics can learn better by playing video games.
小题2:People with Dyslexia have the following problems except_________.
A.writing or reading words and letters backwards in the wrong order.
B.redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something.
C.moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.
D.seeing a picture or hearing a sound.
小题3:What does the underlined word“sluggish”in Paragragh 4 mean?
A.slowB.wrongC.specificD.accurate
小题4:Why can playing video games help dyslexic people learn more quickly?
A.While playing video games, people will train their reading and hearing.
B.While playing video games, people will have a good knowledge of the system.
C.While playing video games, people should move their eyes around the screen quite quickly train the attention system to move quickly.
D.Video games can arouse their interest in reading.
小题5:What is the importance of the finding?
A.The finding will prove video games are not necessarily bad for children.
B.People with Dyslexia will be cured by playing video games.
C.People with Dyslexia will not be made fun of by others.
D.The finding may have an effect on the way to teach dyslexic children how to read.

Read a lot, I mean a lot! You have to increase your ability for reading. Many students are in the habit of reading only when their exams are approaching while some others read only what they are taught or things that must be read because it is in their curriculum. But listen to me now, I am telling you from my own experience that it is a very bad habit and it is not enough to improve your intelligence.
You have to learn and get ready to become versatile in your reading. The fact that you are studying medicine in school does not mean that you should not know one or two things on politics.
Many people have complained to me that they find it hard to read stuffs like novels but I just shake my head in pity for them because it is obvious they have failed to realize the truth in that wise saying by Margaret Fuller that “today a READER, tomorrow a LEADER!”
When you read, you get to “see” so many places and it will be as if you have visited those places in real life. This is because reading will improve your imagination and creativity and understanding. You also get experience from learning about how people dealt with their various problems thereby saving you from going through the pains and difficulties they must have gone through!
Reading will also help you in improving your vocabulary because you will certainly start coming across so many new words which you will try as much as possible to get accustomed to with the help of the dictionary! The good thing about increasing your vocabulary is that it will also improve your thinking ability. After all, we think in words and the more words you know, the easier it will become for you to express yourself or your thoughts.
And when you read, make sure you read so wide because the more you read, the more you know and the more you know the more intelligent you can become.
小题1:According to the author, what should students do in terms of reading?
A.They needn’t read unless the exams come.
B.They should read books about intelligence.
C.They must read about politics when their major is medicine.
D.They should read as wide as possible.
小题2:The underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.
A.interested B.many-sidedC.contentD.confident
小题3:What is the best title for the passage?
A.Increase your ability for reading
B.Read wide and improve your vocabulary
C.Reading improves your intelligence
D.Reading makes you a leader tomorrow
小题4:What is the benefit of knowing more words?
A.You will get used to referring to the dictionary when meeting with new words.
B.You will have less difficulty expressing your opinions.
C.Vocabulary will improve your creativity.
D.You can pass your exams with ease.

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(技巧) 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(有价值的) thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics(拼读法), comprehension(阅读理解) 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 Joiners said 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 depend 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.
小题1:The underlined word “distraction” means something that     .
A.can improve children’s reading.
B.can make children interested
C.can make children not pay their attention
D.can help children’s right way of reading
小题2:In the fourth paragraph     is the most important.
A.reading speedB.reading environment
C.reading skillsD.reading materials
小题3:If the passage is not completed, what will be written after the passage?
A.What TV programs children can watch during reading.
B.Advice is given to control their children.
C.Parents choose reading materials for their children.
D.How children improve their reading by themselves.
小题4:Which one would be the best title for the passage?
A.Parents Are Their Child’s First Teacher.
B.How to Improve Children’s Reading Ability.
C.Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents.
D.How Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader.
