calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.the two-year study compared children who were read to this way in class with children who were not. those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. these results were found one year and even two years later.shayne piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at ohio state university, was an author of the study. she says most preschool teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. they already read storybooks in class. the only difference would be increased attention to the printed text.ms. piasta says if you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling. but she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.the report appears in the journal child development.more than three hundred children aged four and five were observed in classrooms in ohio and virginia. the children came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. this put them at risk of reading problems later.for thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called project star, for sit together and read. the project is based in ohio state. it tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to preschool children in their classrooms.laura justice in ohio state was an investigator for the study. she heads the preschool language and literacy laboratory. she says one of the areas that interests researchers is known as the “locus of learning.” “where is it that a child learns something? where is that space? we think we have identified it pretty well in terms of fostering (助长) some childrens knowledge about print.” says laura justice. she also says this knowledge can be gained by having focused discussions when reading a book to a child. laura justice says, “we think we understand how information about print is transmitted from the adult to the child. and we think we have centered on this intervention that really helps adults center on the things that children need and want to learn.”there are different ways that teachers and parents can talk to children about print. they can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. they can point out a word, “this is dog.” they can discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story. and they can talk about the organization of the print for instance, showing how words are written left to right in english.41. when reading storybooks to their children, parents usually _.a. attract attention to the pictures b. discuss the stories with each otherc. tell some background information first d. ask some questions about the stories42. shayne piasta suggests that preschool teachers should _.a. read storybooks regularly in class b. learn to manage their class wellc. often discuss the printed words and letters d. search for a better method of reading43. the children who joined in project star were _.a. mostly cleverer than others b. very poor in their readingc. especially good at language skills d. worried about reading problems44. the underlined word “locus” in paragraph 8 can be replaced by _.a. difficulty b. importance c. best way d. exact place45. the last paragraph mainly tells us _.a. why we should discuss the meaning of the print b. how we can teach children about printc. the shape of the letter is the focus of teaching d. english words are usually written from left to rightbfilm 1 the environmental problems in south africathis film will take you on a wonderful trip deep into

happiness is. we all seem to be making great efforts towards this goal of happiness but what is it really? it is an agreed fact that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and sadness. the question, however, is “what is real happiness?” what really is called happiness? the desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.some thinkers say, “happiness does not lie in objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in imagination.”to prove their belief, they give examples like the following one: a man has a two-storey house; on the right is a five-storey building and on the left a cottage. when he sees right, he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy. as such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects, but in imagination. they advise people to look towards those who have fewer possessions and be happy. if you look towards people having more wealth and possessions, you will always be unhappy.it is unreasonable to hold this point of view. it is unkind to regard one happy by imagining that one is better than the poor and the unhappy. “if you want to be happy, look towards the poor”. we know that those poor people cannot satisfy even their basic needs. this attitude satisfies the sense of pride of possessions, but this can never be called happiness.unless we really find where happiness lies, we cannot really be happy.some ask people to do this and do that and say, “this way your desires would be satisfied. you would get the desired objects and become happy.” people holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires. but it is not possible to satisfy ones desires because there are countless desires of countless people and the material things are limited. then new desires arise as soon as the previous ones are satisfied. therefore, desires, which are changing all the time, can never be satisfied.happiness is a characteristic of a good life, that is, a life in which a person fulfills (履行) human nature in an excellent way. people have a set of purposes which are typically human: these belong to our nature. happiness is also a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated (培养), and defended privately by each person. people who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives and come to being happy. happiness lies in the distribution of easiness among others. happiness stands for forgiveness and justice. happiness is the name of struggle and courage. happiness may be founded in seeking of true knowledge and rule of wisdom. happiness may be shared in service and duty. this life is combination of joys and sorrows, and honest efforts should be done to make this life journey full of happiness, love, peace and harmony.50. what is the purpose of the passage?a. to show how to achieve happiness. b. to encourage people to achieve happiness.c. to explain the features of happiness. d. to argue how to understand happiness.51. according to the passage, people who think happiness lies in imagination will try to achieve happiness by .a. looking towards those with fewer possessions b. looking towards people having more wealthc. imagining how rich you will be in the future d. imagining that you have a five-storey building52. the writer doesnt think that happiness lies in the satisfaction of desires because .a. no desires of a person can be satisfied at all
