privacy. 1 , communication between parents and their child away at college should have 2 in
expressing viewpoints but, at the same time, it should demonstrate a respect for privacy. Staying in
touch with each other is important because without 3 , there is no connection and worry can take
over. All involved should try to be 4 in listening to, understanding and dealing with special concerns
or needs that arise whether they may be from the student, parents or friends.
For the 5 student adjusting well at school, calls to home can be infrequent. This is not necessarily
a cause for parents to 6 . While parents are naturally 7 about what their child is up to, the
majority of students are busy getting 8 to their new home, making new friends and 9 to new
schedules and activities. The fact is that without any ill intention on purpose, they can spend little time
thinking about home and they may not appreciate the degree of their parents" 10 curiosity.
For the student who is not adjusting well at school, calls to home will probably be mademore 11 .
This circumstance can bring a 12 period for both parent and child. For the parents at home, it can
be terribly 13 to sense. their child is unhappy. It is difficult to judge how we should react to this
challenge: as 14 , we want to bring our children home to the safety of our 15 ; in our parent-teacher
role, we want to 16 the ties and allow our child the opportunity to 17 it on his/her own.
For the student away at school, unhappiness can be lonely and frightening and in some cases, it can
lead to depression and illness. There is a sense of 18 for some homesick students who fear that
Mom and Dad will 19 their inability to cope with the new environment. This is especially true when
the homesick one sees classmates adjusting somewhat effortlessly. No matter what the circumstances
are that have created 20 , communication between parent and child must remain open, honest and
in balance.

at solving problems and expressing ideas. Whether he"s standing in front of a lecture hall or engaged in a
casual conversation, his hands are always waving and pointing. When he was in graduate school, one of
his professors was so annoyed by this constant gesturing that he made the young economist sit on his
hands whenever he visited the professor"s office.
It turns out, however, that Mishkin"s professor had it exactly wrong. Gesture doesn"t prevent but
promotes clear thought and speech. Research demonstrates that the movements we make with our hands when we talk form a kind of second language, adding information that"s absent from our words. It"s
learning"s secret code: Gesture reveals what we know. It reveals what we don"t know. What"s more, the
agreement (or lack of agreement) between what our voices say and how our hands move offers a clue to
our readiness to learn.
Many of the studies establishing the importance of gesture to learning have been conducted by Susan
Goldin-Meadow, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. "We change our minds by
moving our hands," writes Goldin-Meadow in a review of this work. Particularly significant are what she
calls "mismatches" between oral expression and physical gestures. A student might say that a heavier ball
falls faster than a light one, for example, but make a gesture indicating that they fall at the same rate, which
is correct. Such differences indicate that we"re moving from one level of understanding to another. The
thoughts expressed by hand motions are often our newest and most advanced ideas about the problem
we"re working on; we can"t yet absorb these concepts into language, but we can capture them in
movement.
Goldin-Meadow"s more recent work strews not only that gesture shows our readiness to learn, but
that it actually helps to bring learning about. It does so in two ways. First, it elicits (引出) helpful behavior
from others around us. Goldin-Meadow has found that adults respond to children"s speech-gesture
mismatches by adjusting their way of instruction. Parents and teachers apparently receive the signal that
children are ready to learn, and they act on it by offering a greater variety of problem-solving techniques.
The act of gesturing itself also seems to quicken learning, bringing new knowledge into consciousness and
aiding the understanding of new concepts. A 2007 study by Susan Wagner Cook, an assistant professor
of psychology at the University of Iowa, reported that third-graders who were asked to gesture while
learning algebra (代数) were nearly three times more likely to remember what they"d learned than
classmates who did not gesture.
B. he always pointed his finger at his professor
C. his professor did not like his gesturing
D. his gestures prevented his professor from thinking
B. It promotes second language learning and quickens thinking.
C. It provides significant clues for solving academic problems.
D. It reduces students" reliance on teachers" instruction.
B. Instructors should make full use of them.
C. Teachers can hardly explain new concepts without them.
D. They serve as a stepping stone to solving real life problems.
B. Gesturing: Signal of Understanding
C. New Uses of Gesturing
D. The Secret Code of Learning

you can"t remember it.You just waste your valuable time. 1 One dependable aid that does help you
remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you.I"m just
looking."? Both you and she know that if you aren"t sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But
suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses." She says, "Right this way, please"
2 If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that-nothing.
But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will vary; they will include
reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how".
3 Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen
Vincent Benet happened to write about America".Because you know why you are reading or studying,
you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.
4 At least two important processes go on at the same time. As you read, you take in ideas rapidly
and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you
read.You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you
already know, and using it for your own purposes. 5 One part of critical reading, as you have
discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked by evidence, Opinions are
one"s own personal reactions.Another part of critical reading is judging sources.Still another part is
drawing accurate inferences.
B. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
C. You remember better when you know what you" re reading.
D. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.
E. It"s quite the same with your studying.
F. Reading is not one single activity.
G. This is the way it works.

extinction if impact of climate change and extreme weather on their homes is not handled, a UN report
showed on Sunday.
Released during the course of global climate negotiations in Durban, the report by the United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organisation (UNFAO) shows how higher temperatures, the rise in sea levels,
deforestation and overuse of land have damaged the habitats of certain species, especially in Africa.
"Many ecosystems have already been affected by increasing population, historical and recent
deforestation, short-lasting management practices and even invasive species," Eduardo Rojas, assistant
director general at the UNFAO"s forestry department, said at the release of the report.
The most affected areas include mountains, islands and coastal areas, which limit the possibilities for
animals to move elsewhere and create new habitats. "The remaining populations are limited to very small
ecosystems. They have inbreeding (近亲繁殖) problems.., and at the end these species may disappear,"
he added.
Other examples of affected animals include elephants in Mall, lions in Serengeti and crocodiles in
Malawi. The report says about 20~30 percent of plant and animal species will be at higher risk of
extinction due to global warming and a significant number of local species may disappear by 2050 as a
consequence. Other consequences could include the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases,
it said.
The report urges more focus on restoration of damaged ecosystems, especially those key to dealing
with climate change such as inland waters, forests and grasslands. The UNFAO also called for the
creation of movement channels for animals in areas where their movement was affected. The organization
said while more resources (资源) were flowing to biodiversity conservation, more action at th
government and policy level was needed. It also urges local communities to develop projects that ease
the effect of climate change on wildlife, naming ecotourism activities as an example.
B. The subject of research done by Eduardo Rojas.
C. Harmful effects of damage done to ecosystems.
D. Causes of damage done to ecosystems.
B. They have difficulty finding enough food for survival.
C. They have little chance of moving to other places.
D. They can hardly find mates to produce their young.

B. limiting world population growth
C. creating movement channels for animals

ivory off the international market and to discourage the illegal killing of elephants for their ivory.
The past 12 months had seen a record number of large ivory seizures across the world, a wildlife
protection organization said Thursday, saying it had been a horrible year for elephants. There were at
least 13 large seizures in 2011, totalling at least 23 tons of ivory meaning that about 2,500 elephants
were killed.
This compares to just six large seizures in 2010, weighing a total of just under 10 tons, and confirms
a sharp rise in the trade since 2007. This is the worst year ever for large ivory seizures in the past 23
years-2011 had truly been a horrible year for elephants.
Most illegal shipments of African elephant ivory end up in either China, where it is made into powder
and used in traditional medicine, or in Thailand, with Malaysia the most frequent transit country (中转
国). The increasing quantities of ivory being traded, most of which are from either Kenyan or Tanzanian
ports, reflected a rising demand in Asia. They constantly change their transport ways to Asia to avoid
detection, including switching from airplanes to seaships, and once the ivory products arrive, their
documentation (证明文件) is rewritten to hide the fact that they came from Africa. As most large ivory
seizures fail to result in any arrests, the criminals are winning and have illegally made large amounts of
money.
International trade in elephant ivory was banned in 1990, and ETIS (the Elephant Trade Information
System) holds the details of reports on more than 17,000 ivory and other elephant product seizures
across the world since then.
