A child plays many roles,such as friend,neighbor,son or daughter.Simply reminding children of that fact can lead to better problem-solving and more flexible thinking,finds new research from Duke University.
“This is some of the first research on reminding kids of their many roles,” said lead author Sarah Gaither,a professor at Duke.“Such reminders improve their problem-solving skills and how flexibly they see their social worlds.”
In one experiment,Gaither and her workmates looked at 196 children,aged 6 and 7.All were native English speakers.The first group of children was reminded of their various identities,such as
son,daughter,reader or helper.A second group of children was reminded of their many physical features.The rest of the children were reminded of other children’s many roles,not their own.
All the children solved many tasks.The first group of children showed stronger problem-solving and creative thinking skills.For example,when shown pictures of a bear looking at a honey-filled beehive(蜂巢) high up in a tree,these children had more creative ideas for how the bear might get the honey,such as turning over a bowl as a seat.
The second group of children also showed more flexible thinking about social groupings.When asked to group different photos of faces,they suggested many ways to do so.For example,they identified smiling faces VS unsmiling ones,and old VS young faces.The other children mainly grouped people’s faces by race and gender.
“We often only think about ourselves in connection with one important group at a time,” said Christopher Marlowe,a schoolmaster in Durham,North Carolina.“When we remind kids that they have various identities,they think more and remember that there are many other groups.They are more open-minded.”
8.Who is Sarah Gaither?
A.A reader.
B.A professor.
C.A reporter.
D.A schoolmaster.
9.What can we learn from the experiment?
A.The research was intended for people of all ages.
B.The first group was reminded of various identities.
C.Children in the second group are the most creative.
D.All tasks were solved by the other children.
10.Why are photos of a bear talked about in paragraph 4?
A.To remind children of childhood.
B.To make children more creative.
C.To show the result of the research.
D.To inform children of wildlife protection.
11.What’s Christopher’s attitude to the new research?
A.Critical.
B.Unclear.
C.Doubtful.
D.Positive.

There are many idioms or sayings in English that we use when we want to describe relationships between and among friends.Here are a few to practice with your friends.
The idiom “through thick and thin” is used to describe a friend who is loyal and supportive during bad times as well as good times.It most often describes a friendship that has been strong for a long time.Here are two examples:John and Lisa have been friends through thick and thin.My best friend and I stayed together through thick and thin.
If two people are “like two peas in a pod”,it means that they get along very well.They are two very good friends and they are very similar to each other.I have never seen Lola and Camille argue;they are like two peas in a pod.
Some friends are especially sympathetic and easy to talk to.They are not judgmental or
impatient.They are good at sharing our pain,which helps ease our pain.A friend like this is often called “a shoulder to cry on”.We can go to this person with a problem or sadness and they bring comfort to us.
“To hit it off” with someone means to immediately like or get along with someone.This usually happens the first time two people are meeting.They often share interests,goals,and beliefs.This can happen between friends who like each other at first sight.Carmen and Isabel hit it off at the party and are going to a movie together today.Mike and I did not hit it off on our first date but we are going to try once more.
12.Which of the following may be friends through thick and thin?

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Have you ever gazed at a test question and wondered where on earth it came from?You’re just certain the teacher has never covered the information,because it isn’t in your notes.16 And furthermore,they got the question right.
17 It is a common frustration.Very few people can write fast enough or can concentrate long enough to record everything the teacher says.
As you can imagine,college lectures can be much longer and more detailed than the lectures you receive in high school.For this reason,many college students deal with the potential problem of missing critical information by developing a personalized form of shorthand(速记).
18 You don’t have to learn a squiggly-line(潦草书写的) language.You simply come up with a set of symbols or abbreviations(缩写) for common words that you find in lectures.
Developing shortcuts in your writing is not a new idea,of course.The trick is to develop a good system and to do it well.19 Try these tips:
★Develop a list of the most commonly used words and make shortcuts for them.
★Practice your course-specific shorthand at the beginning of the term when your text is still new and you’re curious and excited about the information.Find a few interesting passages and practice writing them in shorthand.
★If possible,find a study partner to read the passages to you.20
★ Time yourself for each passage you practice.Pretty soon you’ll start to build up speed.
A.To do that,you have to practice.
B.Find the common terms for the passage.
C.We miss things when we take class notes.
D.Look through the textbooks for each course.
E.That sounds much more complicated than it really is.
F.You can get the real experience of taking notes during a lecture in this way.
G.Then,you discover that some of your classmates did record the information in their notes.

The Price of a Dream
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers,three sisters—a group of foster kids,my father and my wonderful mother.My parents worked day and night to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table.It’s true that we had little money and few goods,but we got plenty of love and attention.I was very happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was,he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.I fell in love with baseball at an early age,a love so deep that I almost gave it my all.I practiced hard every day and that made me a little closer to my dream.By the time I was sixteen,I had made great progress:I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moved on the field.I was also lucky:my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis,who not only believed in me,but also taught me how to believe in myself.One particular incident with my coach Ollie Jarvis changed my life forever.
It was the summer holiday in Senior 2 and one of my friends recommended me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket—certainly,money for a new bike and new clothes,and I could also begin to save money for a house for my mother,which was what I had always dreamed of.The prospect of this summer job was attractive and I wanted to jump at this chance.Then it hit me that I would have to give up summer baseball training to deal with the work schedule.I was afraid of telling my coach,who would certainly be against my plan.I hesitated for several days.At last,I spurred(给……打气) myself with the advice my mother often gave us,“If you make your bed,you have to lie in it.” I made up my mind.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。

When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis,he was as angry as I expected him to be.

文章主要讲述了作者一家在外,汽车却无法发动,最后却和才八岁的作者所说的一样——等到一只黄色的蝴蝶触碰后汽车才能发动的神奇经历。

21.D根据下文可知,作者对上次发生的事记忆犹新。

fresh in mind表示“记忆犹新”,为固定搭配。

22.C根据下文“It gave several dry ,and then the engine stopped turning over.”可知,父亲想发动(start)汽车,但失败了。

23.C汽车引擎像咳嗽(coughs)一样响了几下,之后就停止转动了。

25.A八岁的作者毫不犹豫(without hesitation)地告诉妈妈,要等一只黄色的蝴蝶触碰(touch)汽车,它才能再次工作。

26.B见上题分析。

27.B根据下文“Finally,my dad attempted to go to the nearest for help.”可知,作者的父母在讨论(discussed)下一步该怎么做。

28.D根据下文“I remember him carrying a container of gas”可知,作者的父亲去了加油站(gas station)寻求帮助。

29.C根据“a container of gas”和“ up the car”可知,父亲带了一箱汽油,给车加满(filling)油。

35.D根据下文“Fluttering around the rearview mirror was a tiny yellow butterfly.”可知,作者看向母亲所指(pointing)的黄色蝴蝶所在的位置。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

本文讲述了由于英语起源于多种不同的语言,因此其拼写规则各不相同,这给学英语者造成了拼写困难,对于英语拼写改革的呼吁人们各执一词。

36.is caused考查时态、语态。

根据语境可知,本句讲述客观事实,应用一般现在时。

cause与主语“Part of the problem”之间为被动关系,因此应用被动语态。

37.sources考查名词复数。

source是可数名词,根据其前的all可知应用名词复数形式。

38.memorizing考查非谓语动词。

所填的词作主语,所以用动词-ing形式,故填memorizing。

39.as考查介词。

句意:诺曼人使用法语作为法庭语言,将古英语从官方用语中淘汰了大约300年。

as意为“作为”符合语境。

40.actually考查副词。

分析句子成分可知,设空处作状语,所以应用副词形式。

41.froze考查时态。

分析句子成分可知,设空处作谓语,根据时间状语Until the 15th century可知,应用一般过去时。

42.pronunciation考查名词。

所填的词作宾语,所以应用名词形式,故填pronunciation。

43.to remember考查非谓语动词。

此处为“make+宾语+to do”结构,故填to remember。

44.which考查定语从句。

先行词是the spelling system,关系词作介词的宾语,所以用which。

45.the考查冠词。

origins是名词,后面有修饰语,所以是特指,故填the。

Dear David,
I am glad to know that you are interested in Chinese calligraphy.Chinese calligraphy is an essential part of Chinese traditional culture.Not only is it a practical technique for writing Chinese characters,but also a unique art which can help purify our souls.
If you want to be a good user of the writing brush,first you have to be patient.Second,you have to keep practising since practice makes perfect.Just be confident and practise hard and you’ll be an expert in Chinese calligraphy.
I would appreciate it if my advice can be of great help for you.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis,he was as angry as I expected him to be.“You have your whole life to work,” he said,with a serious look on his face,“but your playing days are limited.You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head hanging,trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of having money in my pocket and buying my mother a house was worth facing his disappointment in me.“How much are you going to make at this summer job,son?” he demanded.“$3.5 per hour,” I replied in a low voice.
“Well,”he asked,“is$3.5 an hour from the summer job the price of a dream?” That simple question set me thinking.It made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a long-term goal.Determined to put all my heart into baseball,I promised the coach that I would give up the job.That summer,I dedicated myself to baseball training,and the next year,I was given a baseball scholarship to a university.Finally,I signed with a famous team for $1.7 million,and certainly bought my mother the house of my dream.。
