Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for communicating with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to deal with the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to affect the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later outputs knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences.

答案
小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:C
小题4:A
小题5:D
解析
小题1:判断作者思想观点题。文章第一段,“人们通常认为学习是发生在学校里的事,但人们所学的很多东西是教室外的东西,甚至从出生就已经开始,并且学习贯穿的人的一生。”可见,作者认为学习是一生的学习,终身的学习。故答案为A。
小题2:词义猜测题。分析siblings前后的词语parents, grandparents, friends, 可以推出siblings的意思不可能是doctors, 再由下文 “When they enter school, ….”,可以推出此时他们还不是学生, siblings的意思也不可能是teachers, classmates, 故可以排除A、B、C三项。Siblings的意思为 “兄弟姐妹”。
小题3:句意理解题。文章第三段中 “When they enter school,…They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished.”可知,孩子们学习什么样的行为可能得到奖励,什么样的行为可能受到惩罚, 也就是孩子们在这个阶段应该学会怎样举止得当。故答案为C。
小题4:正误判断题。由文章第二段首句 “Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects.”可知,学习是从儿童时期开始的,A项表述错误,符合题意,为正确答案。B、C、D三项分别从文章第三段的二、三、四句找到明确的表述。
小题5:段落大意题。文章最后一段,“研究记忆的心理学家们对于大脑如何储存知识,这种储存发生在什么时候,以及当我们需要这些知识时大脑如何想起来等等问题很感兴趣。比较而言,研究学习的心理学家们则对于行为以及由于人们的经历怎样改变了行为等问题更感兴趣。”可见,本段主要讲述了两类心理学家以及他们所感兴趣的问题。涉及到了学习、大脑和行为的关系。

Many boys and girls dress alike in school. They were blue jeans and sport shirts. Some have long hair and some have short hair. Sometimes a boy has longer hair than a girl.
Even the language is different. Students learn to say fire fighter instead of fireman, police officer instead of policeman, and letter carrier instead of mailman. A person does not need to be a man to fight a fire or to deliver the mail.
Most people think that these changes are good. They give all people an equal chance to be happy and to do what they want to do with their lives. Fathers like to tell their sons that they can grow up to be president. Today, mothers can tell the same things to there daughters.

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical(挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

A. the author’s son B. the author’s father
B. the friend of the author’s father D. the café owner
Do’s and Don’ts in Whale(鲸) Watching
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait, where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.
· Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back.
· Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on.
· Keep noise levels down — no horns, whistles or racing of engines.
· Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.
· Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.
· Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.
· Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.
· Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales.
· When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.
· Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.
· If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.
· Work together by communicating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines.

"
"I have dreamed that one day students will have courses via online games, "Yan added.

“But a generation had scarcely passed after the conquest before a sad change came over these scenes so beautiful,” writes one historian. The broad, shining lakes began to dry up.
