Researchers showed their latest studies at a meeting in February, 2011. The latest evidence shows that
being bilingual(双语的)does not necessarily make people smarter. 2 .
Imagine you are driving down the highway. There are many things that could draw your attention and
you really need to be able to notice all of them. 3 Why? The answer is that bilingual people are often
better at controlling their attention.
The best method to measure it is called the Stroop Test. A person is shown words in different colors.
The person needs to tell the colors of the words. 4 For example, the word "blue" might be written in
red, but you have to say red. You need to ignore the word and pay more attention to its color so that
you can say correctly. The bilingual people continually practise this function because both languages are
active in their mind at the same time.
5 Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning and are
more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than
others in suffering from dementia (痴呆症).
B. The problem is that the words are all names of colors.
C. This would be very difficult for them to achieve.
D. However, another research in the 1960s showed the opposite.
E. They would be cleverer than other people.
F. In addition, it might help people in other ways, too.
G. But researchers say it probably does make people better at certain skills.

psychology. It aims to help with achieving a greater understanding of the behavior of children through an
understanding of their minds. It deals with children who range from the prenatal (出生前的) stage right
up to the stage of adolescence.
The psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) has been credited with making a major breakthrough in
this area when he put forward his idea that children were not actually less intelligent than adults, rather
they just thought in a different way. Preciously the development of children right from birth through to
adulthood was an area that was almost completely neglected. In fact very little work was done in this
area. However, interest in this field has now developed to the point of being one of the most debated
of all the areas of psychology.
Despite popular belief that factors such as genetics or personal characteristics are the only determining
factors that influence a youth"s behavior, this is not in fact the case. In reality, development actually
includes many more factors than those contained within an individual. Factors such as environment, which
can include social relationships and the surrounding culture, also play important roles. Relationships with
both peers and adults will no doubt affect how children think and learn, and therefore develop. These
relationships can include those that are found not only within families but also in schools and peer groups.
Culturally speaking, this factor will contribute greatly to how children develop their personality
concerning the values they end up holding (perhaps for a lifetime) as well as how they view such things as
traditions and customs.
Nowadays, psychologists have agreed that a child"s psychology is both unique and highly complex.
However, there are debates on many different points in this field and many viewpoints exist.
B. destroyed
C. developed
D. explored
B. The role families play in a child"s development.
C. Factors that affect a child"s development.
D. The importance of relationships to a child.
B. give a brief introduction to child psychology.
C. compare some of the areas of psychology.
D. explain the development in psychology.
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。
What would you be like if you were to take the college entrance exam tomorrow? 2 _Or, worried
and uneasy?
"I was surprised at how I could get angry so easily with my parents before a big exam, " said a senior
3 student Wang Yangqian from Beijing. "I couldn"t fall asleep even after I"d been in bed for two hours."
Not only exams but also other things, like a big game, can make you different from how you are
usually. You may act differently because you are stressed out. What is stress? 3 Usually your hands
get wet and your heart beats faster. You feel stressed because you might ask too much of yourself
sometimes. Or, your parents, teachers or classmates put too much pressure on you. This can make you
worried. But being stressed is not always a big problem. Everybody, even sports stars, can get a little
worried before a big game.
Some kinds of stress are good. Good stress might show up when you" re called on in class or when
you have to give a report. 4 You may do a better job in your book report if the anxiety pushes you
to do more work before you read it to the class.
Sometimes stress can turn into something bad if you keep having stressful feelings for a long time.This
kind of stress isn"t going to help you.It can make you sick. 5
Remember to stay relaxed.It won"t be the end of the world, even if you don"t pass the exam.
B. This kind of stress can help you get things done well.
C. Stress can push you to meet your deadline.
D. Stress can be good or bad for people.
E. You may feel stressed when you ask for too much help.
F. It can also prevent you from working harder.
G. Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something.
cars, a 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
infants aged nine months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were
stereotypically 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 (nine 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
color of a newborn baby."

C. their parents treat them differently
D. there is a natural difference between them
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
over the US.Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.
Charter schools are self-governing.Private companies operate some charter schools.They are similar
in some ways to traditional public schools.They receive tax money just as other public schools do.
Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning.These
governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.
Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public
schools.Local, state, or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach.Each school can choose its
own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them.Class size is usually smaller than in traditional
public schools.
The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools that
are failing to educate students.But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools.One
teachers" union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of
students in traditional schools and charter schools.
The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government"s delay in releasing the results of the
study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress.Union education experts say the
study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in
regular public schools.
Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools
have more problems than students in traditional schools.Other education experts say the study results
should make charter school officials demand improved student progress.
B. prove its management ability
C. obey the local and state laws
D. get the government"s permission
B. Supportive.
