heard of theIsland of Inventions，he was still very young.But its wonderssounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory.From that moment，he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island.He read hundreds of adventure books，histories，volumes of physics and chemistry，even music.Over time，he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like.It was a secret place，where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together.Access to the island was totally restricted.To join，you had to have created some great invention for humanity.Only then could you receive the special invitation－which came with directions to the island.So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing.Every new idea he got，he made it into an invention，and if there were something he didn’t understand，he’d seek others to help him.Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions.They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter.As years passed，the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co－operate more.They would meet in Luca’s house，share their ideas and build new machines.Their inventions became known throughout the world，and improved the lives of millions.But still，no invitation came.They didn’t lose heart.They continued learning and

only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house.No island could exist which would be better than where he was now.No place of invention would be better than what he

Take any training available from your employers.There are many objectives of career development，one of which is identifying your strengths and weaknesses.Your career won’t move in a wrong direction only if you make full use of your strengths and working on your weaknesses.A person understands his worth with the help of career development.Thus career development affects current and future performance of people.Because of the development of globalization，employers may have to work in different places across the world.Therefore，adapting to the conditions that are changing is also one objective of career development.In the absence of career development programs，employees may witness a reduced productivity which will affect their career advancement.Information is another objective of career development.Employees and students must have right information about career planning and various opportunities available to them at the right time to take opportunities and achieve their goals.They need to be aware of the skills and qualities which are essential in a modern business environment.As has been stated above，one really has to take into account and do a lot in the process of career development.But what’s the most important is that those who are going to create a bright and plentiful career future must improve themselves constantly over the whole life span.Ⅵ.阅读简答(2015·耒阳二中高三月考)Not long ago，people thought babies were notable to learn things until they were five or six months old.Yet doctors in the United States saybabies begin learning on their first day of life.Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment.They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes.A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers.This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born.The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman.Then，they played a recording of a short story.On the day the baby was born，the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother.They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way.If the baby moved his mouth the other way，he would hear a different story.The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born.They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers.The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere unnecessarily.They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old.Also，the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression.The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children.Children did better when their mothers were caring，even when they suffered from depression.1．What does the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories prove？(No more than 5 words)________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 2．In the passage，what factors are mentioned that influence intelligence development in babies？(No more than 8 words)________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 3．Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills？(No more than 11 words)________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 4．What is the main idea of the passage？(No more than 8 words)________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________课后达标检测11Ⅰ.单项填空1．解析：选A。
