ability to listen or think, or to speak, or to read, or to write and do mathematics.
A person with a learning disability has unusual difficulty in developing these skills. Researchers believe
that learning disabilities are caused by differences in the way that the brain works with information. They
say children with learning disabilities are not unintelligent or do not want to work. Their brains just process
information differently than other people. Researchers say that one in five people in America has some kinds
of learning disability. Almost three million children in America receive some kinds of help in school for a
learning disability.
How can you tell if someone has a learning disability? Experts look for a difference between how well
a child does in school and the level of intelligence or ability of the child. But there is no sign of a disorder.
A few signs of a learning disability include not connecting letters with their sounds or not understanding
what is read. A person with a learning disability may not be able to understand a funny story. They may
not follow directions. They may not read numbers correctly or know how to start a task Different people
have different kinds of learning disabilities. Another may have difficulty understanding what people are
saying. Still another may not be able to express ideas in writing.
These different kinds of learning disabilities are known by different names. For example, a person who
has difficulty reading may have dyslexia. Someone who cannot do mathematics may have a disorder called
dyscalculia (计算困难).
Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. But people who have them can be helped. Teachers
and parents can help young people with learning disabilities to learn successfully.

C. Causes of learning disabilities.
D. Learning disabilities.
B. unintelligence
C. not wanting to work

to catfish (鲶鱼), some animal-fathers play a big part in raising their babies.
"Seahorses are possibly the best example of fathers caring for their young in the animal world," said
Heather Mason Jones, a biologist at the University of Tampa in Florida. Human mothers carry their babies
in their bodies for nine months. But seahorses are different. A female seahorse lays eggs and then puts
them in a pouch on a male seahorse"s belly (腹部), where the eggs stay until they hatch.
Male seahorses aren"t the only animal dads caring for eggs. The male hardhead catfish carries up to 48
marble-size eggs in his mouth for 60 days! He doesn"t eat for the entire time. "You"d think it would be hard
for them to give up a meal," said Ed Matheson, a fish expert at the Florida Marine Research Institute.
Emperor penguins sit on eggs to hatch them during Antarctica"s freezing winter. The males have to gather
closely together for warmth and can lose half of their weight in the two months that it takes the baby penguins
to hatch.
Even mammal (哺乳动物) dads play a role in raising their young. The male South American marmoset (狨
猴) takes care of the baby in place of the mother a few weeks after she gives birth.
So next Father"s Day, remember the millions of dads hard at work in the animal kingdom!
B. To tell readers an interesting fact.

B. The male marmoset takes care of the baby as soon as the mother gives birth.
C. The eggs stay in a pouch on a male seahorse"s belly until they hatch.
D. Emperor penguins sit on eggs to keep warm during the freezing winter.
B. Fish experts.
C. Ordinary readers.
D. American fathers.
widespread, the ground pangolin. Pangolins have small heads and long, broad tails. They are toothless and
have no external ears, although their hearing is good. Their sense of smell is well-developed, but their sight
is poor. The weight of the scales (鳞片) and skin make up about 20% of their weight.
The common pangolin prefers sandy soils and is found in woodlands and savannas (热带草原), within
reach of water.
All pangolins can roll themselves into a ball to defend themselves. The cutting action of their scales protects
them too. Pangolins also have scent glands (臭腺) that release strong, foul smelling secretions. Pangolins are
normally alone. Females are usually alone with their young. The young are 6 inches long and weigh 12 ounces
at birth. Their pale, soft scales begin to harden by the second day. The baby is folded in the mother"s lap or
rolled-up body. It is nursed for 3 to 4 months and begins to eat termites (白蚁) at 1 month. At this time the
infant begins to accompany the mother, perhaps riding on the base of her tail. If the mother senses danger the
baby slips under her and is protected when she rolls up her body.
Pangolins use their sense of smell to locate termite and ant nests. They dig up the insects with their claws
and use their extremely long tongues to eat them.
B. sad
C. frightened
D. angry
B. Beautiful.
C. Protective.
D. Hard.
B. At 2 months old.
C. At 2-3 months old.
D. At 3-4 months old.
B. The pangolin"s diet.
C. The pangolin"s behavior.
D. The pangolin"s appearance.
you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ
that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.
Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person"s brainpower, as
measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person"s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be
correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end
up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the
opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that
those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.
For a long time, researchers discussed if a person"s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the
social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person"s EQ,
particularly in terms of "people skills", such as understanding and communication.
Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal
students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help
people in difficulty. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students" attitudes. They
became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs
often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their
thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.

jobs. Some robots do regular jobs. Bobby, the mail carrier, brings mail to a large office building in Washington,
D.C. He is one of 250 mail carriers in the United States.
Mr. Leachim, who weighs two hundred pounds and is six feet tall, has some advantages as a teacher. One
is that he does not forget details. He knows each child"s name, the parents" names and what each child knows
and needs to know. In addition, he knows each child"s pets and hobbies. Mr. Leachim does not make mistakes.
Each child goes and tells him his or her name, then dials an identification (身份证明) number. His computer
brain puts the child"s voice and number together. He identifies the child with no mistakes. Then he starts the
lesson.
Another advantage is that Mr. Leachim is flexible. If the children need more time to do their lessons they
can move switches. In this way they can repeat Mr. Leachim"s lesson over and over again. When the children
do a good job he tells them something interesting about their hobbies. At the end of the lesson the children
switch Mr. Leachim off.
B. robots will take the place of man to rule the earth
C. we can only use robots to do some regular jobs

Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see, a new study says, without the benefits
of vision the ears seem to work much better.
Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the
sources of sounds that are close by. Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people
were also better at locating sounds that are far away.
Twenty-three blind people participated in the study. All had been sightless for at least 20 years. Fourteen of
them had lost their vision before age 11; the rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also included 10 people
who could see but were wearing blind-folds.
In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 metres away. When the
sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well.
When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the
blindfolded group. The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost
their sight later.
Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people, say the
researchers. Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder when you can"t see the cars coming.
Still, the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind
after age 16. In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with
visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11. These brain parts
didn"t show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people. The scientists
now want to learn more about the working of brains of "late-onset" blind people.
B. the locations of distant sounds
C. the direction of sharp sounds
D. the distance of a sound in front of them
B. Where is That Noise Coming from?
C. Hearing Better in the Dark
D. What If Living without Your Eyes?
B. Those who have gone blind since children.
C. Those who went blind at age 16.
D. Those who are blindfolded.
B. All the volunteers in the experiment are sightless.
C. All the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction.
D. The later people become blind, the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds.
