They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookC turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.” Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.24. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are. B.

A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through BooksCA study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿）connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the patternA-B-B. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the A-B-Bpattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order. Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. “Position is key to language,” she says. If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference:John caught the bear. is very different from The bear caught John.”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books,the Internet, or smartphonesno matter how educationaldoesnt appear to be enough for childrens brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group whod watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audiolearned nothing.28. What makes connections in a babys brain?A. Having a higher IQ. B. Experiencing new information. C. The babys early age. D. The connection with other babies.29. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A. Babies identify different sound patterns. B. Word order is relevant to meaning. C. Babies can well understand different words.D. A certain brain region processes language.30. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. Grammar is important in learning languages.B. Different orders have different meanings.C. Different languages have different grammar.D. Words have different sounds.31. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?A. Babies shouldnt watch a lot of television.B. Listening to different languages develops babies brain. C. Foreign languages help babies brain develop.D. Social communication improves babies brain development. DJudy Wright and her husband decided to move closer to their son, Chris, who lived in Georgia.
