study has shown.The findings,the first to show differences in very young babies,suggest there is a
biological basis to their preferences.
Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90
babies aged 9 months to 36 months.The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys.Some were
typically boys" toys-a car,a digger,a ball and a blue teddy.The rest were girls" toys: a pink teddy,a doll
and a cooking set.They were placed a meter away from the toys;and could pick whichever toy they liked
their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.
Of the youngest children (9 to 14 months),girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than
boys,and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did.Among the two and
three-year-olds,girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched
it.The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars,which the girls barely touched.There
was no link between the parents" view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls,and the
children"s choice.
Dr Brenda Todd said,"Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization.Boys may be
given"toys that go"while girls get toys they can care for,which may help shape their preference . But these
findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys.There
could be a biological basis for their choices.Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer:
moving objects,probably through hunting instincts(本能),while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink,
the colour of a newborn baby."
B. baby girls like bright colours more
C. their parents treat them differently
D. there is a natural difference between them
B. a teddy
C. a car
D. a doll
B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.
C. The older the babies are,the more obvious their preference is.
D. Parents should teach their babies to share each other"s toys.
B. Babies" preference isn"t affected by social surroundings.
C. Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.
D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted.
B. health
C. education
D. entertainment.

| Have you ever heard of Florida pompano? It"s a flat, silvery fish and very delicious! In fact, people who know a lot about fish say it"s one of the best-tasting kinds of fish in the world to eat. Maybe that"s one reason why it costs so much to buy pompano (鲳参鱼) at the fish market or at a restaurant. Agricultural Research Service scientists in Florida are discovering many new and important secrets about this tasty fish. It lives in the warm waters off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The scientists are studying pompano. Because they want fish farmers to be able to grow them in big tanks, somewhat the same way trout and catfish are grown in big outdoor ponds. Raising pompano in big tanks inland could help everyone be sure that there will always be lots of wild pompano in the sea. People could buy them from the fish farm instead of mostly only being able to buy pompano caught from the sea. Sometimes, if a fish is too popular, a problem called "overfishing" can happen. The fish could become harder and harder to find in the ocean. The fish might even disappear completely. The trouble with pompano is that no one really knows very much about how to grow big, healthy pompano in big tanks at a fish farm. That"s why scientists are trying to learn as much as they can about pompano. Maybe someday soon it will be easy to buy and eat pompano raised at fish farms, instead of pompano fished from the sea. When that happens, you may remember this story about these scientists who helped find out how to raise delicious pompano in a new, Earth-friendly way. | |||

| A. makes it easier to buy and eat the pompano B. prevents people catching pompano from the sea C. stops people buying pompano caught from the sea D. helps make sure wild pompano will remain in the sea | |||
| 3. The word "overfishing" in paragraph 5 means ______. | |||
| A. 过度捕捞 B. 太受欢迎 C. 完全消失 D. 难以搜寻 | |||

| However important we may regard school life to be, we can"t ignore the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore the great influence of parents can"t be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously prevent the school from accomplishing its aims. Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program and developmental math. Moreover, the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they should do. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils" progress, can significantly aid the interchanged of ideas between school and home. Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent change his method. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis. If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in math and at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers" conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of children"s wrongdoing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for punishments and rewards at home. What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, plants ideas in parents" minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters" competence. | |||
| 1. The underlined phrase "keep parents apprised of" (Line 1, Para.2) probably means to let parents ____. | |||
| A. judge B. know C. design D. develop | |||
| 2. What is the purpose of the schools" informal tea and interviews? | |||
| A. To improve the relationship between teacher and parents. B. To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum. C. To report students’ misdoings and suggestions for punishments. D. To help develop good communication between school and home. | |||
| 3. Why does the author provide all example in Paragraph 4? | |||
| A. To help parents to know the importance of home activities. B. To show how the teacher can guide in home training. C. To prove parents all non professional advisors. D. To advice parents to teach kids math at home. | |||
| 4. From the passage we learn that the author _____. | |||
| A. thinks teachers should do better as professionals B. is worried about children’s performance at home C. is satisfied with the present state of school education D. believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted |
