wanted her own children to be good at math，too.“And when our first child was about two，we just started giving her a math problem every night，”Overdeck said.The problem was usually a story，involving animals，cars or candies that let the kid count.“Our third child started，at age two，yelling that he wanted his own math problem because he saw his brother and sister doing it.And we thought，Wow，we have a household where math is the popular thing at bedtime，”Overdeck said.In February，Overdeck launched Bedtime Math，an Internet website where she posts daily puzzles for children.Overdeck is particularly keen to hook children on numbers before they go to school.So why introduce little ones to math so early?Sian Beilock，an expert on performance anxiety，said the more fun and familiar math is early on，the less likely children will feel nervous when they start to learn math in school.“My lab has shown recently that kids as early as first grade report feeling anxious about doing math，”Beilock said.“You can hear totally educated adults say，You know Im just not that good at math.or Im kind of afraid of math.And thats a totally acceptable thing for a welleducated person to say，but you never hear them say，Well，you know，Im just not that good at reading，”Overdeck said.She wants children and their parents to become as fluent in numbers as they are in Harry Potter.【语篇解读】新泽西州的一位母亲创建了Bedtime

unit，Paro Robots US.Inc.，to sell the creature to places like nursing homes and hospitals.The robot，named Paro，is marketed as a therapeutic(治疗的)device that can help comfort people who have problems that can lead to social isolation(隔离)Takanori Shibata，a Japanese engineer，invented Paro.He says the robot，which weighs about 6 pounds，is able to respond to touch，light，and sound.Shibata says he tried making robotic cats and dogs，but that people didnt find those convincing(令人信服的)“They expected too much，”he says，and would compare the robot to real animals they had known.Few people have ever seen a live baby seal，so they arent likely to draw comparisons between the robot and the real thing.So they accept Paro as a cute little companion.The Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean held a recent event to showcase the robot，and Virginia Long slowly came into the activity room.When a nurse put the robot on her lap，it began to shake slightly，and Long talked to it gently.“Why are you shaking？Are you cold？”she asked.The robot made a high sound，and Long laughed.She said she used to have a cat，“but somebody stole him.”“Petting a seal is unusual，”she said，“but a lot of people have strange animals.”But some experts say a robot is no replacement for a real animal.“One of the things that weve learned is that it is the unexpected and natural behavior of the living creature that adds so much value to peoples experience.Any kind of newness can get the attention of people who are lonely and bored，but that doesnt necessarily help them live a meaningful life.It doesnt solve the problem that is really causing their lack of enjoyment of life，”says Bill Thomas，a professor at the University of Maryland，Baltimore County.【语篇解读】本文是新闻报道。文章介绍了由日本科学家研发的海豹型机器人。 12What is the role of Paro?ATo

comfort people who have problems that can lead to social isolation可知，Paro主要是为患者带来一丝慰藉。13How did people feel about robotic cats?ADisappointed.BAstonished.CConcerned.DAmused.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的Shibata says he tried making robotic cats and dogs.would compare the robot to real animals they had known可知，人们对机器猫比较失望，因为他们总会将其与真猫咪作对比。 14What was Longs reaction to Paro?AShe refused to get close to it.BShe showed it much affection.CShe regarded it as her new cat.DShe was frightened to talk to it.B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的When a nurse put the robot on her lap.The robot made a high sound，and Long laughed可知，Long很关心Paro并被它的声音逗乐，说明Long很喜欢Paro。 15What do Bill Thomas words suggest about Paro?AIt is of great value to people.BIt is useless in solving real problems.CIt fails to catch older peoples interest.DIt can take the place of a living creature.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的It doesnt solve the problem that is really causing their lack of enjoyment of life可知，Bill Thomas认为Paro虽然可以为孤独、无聊的人带来快乐，但是却不能真正解决他们生活中的问题。 .阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Most people have practiced some form of hobby at a point in their lives，whether it is some form of sports，playing a musical
