on a beach, visit some famous landmarks, or hike through some beautiful scenery? all these things are available in china, but if your budget stretches, why not look at somewhere else in asia, or even farther.packingthere can be such a thing as being over prepared when traveling, but you dont want to forget something important. it can be a good idea to wear pants with zipped pockets. in certain

detail. when youre traveling, especially in a foreign country, dont forget to change some money before you leave. if youre traveling somewhere tropical, you might need some injections or pills to

babies，suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.psychologists dr brenda todd from city university london carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 monthsthe babies were allowed to choose from seven toyssome were typically boys toys - a car，a digger，a ball and a blue teddythe rest were girls toys: a pink teddy，a doll and a cooking setthey were placed a meter away from the toys；and could pick whichever toy they liked their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.of the youngest children （9 to 14 months），girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys，and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls didamong the two and three-year-olds，girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched itthe boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars，which the girls barely touchedthere was no link between the parents view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls，and the childrens choice.dr brenda todd said，children of this age are already exposed to much socializationboys may be giventoys that gowhile girls get toys they can care for，which may help shape their preference but these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toysthere could be a biological basis for their choicesmales through evolution have been adapted to prefer: moving objects，probably through hunting instincts（本能），while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink，the colour of a newborn baby. 41baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because_ababy boys are much more activebbaby girls like bright colours more ctheir parents treat them differentlydthere is

each others toys.44what did drbrenda todd conclude from the results of the study?aadults purposely influence their babies preference.bbabies preference isnt affected by social surroundings.cbaby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.dbaby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted 45we may read this article in a_section of a newspaper.ascience bhealth c.education dentertainment.d20.the television news feature about ben heckmann, an eighth grader from farmington, minn., was breathless in its praise. “at 14, he has accomplished something many adults cant achieve,” the reporter said. “ben is a twice-published author.” but bens two “velvet black” books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts(手稿) by an eagleeyed publisher. they were self-published, at a cost of $400 by bens parents. over the past five years, print-on-demand technology and a growing number of selfpublishing companies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a “published author.” the mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children, in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player. but others see self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance. mr robbins, a critic, thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age, but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message. “there are no prodigies(神童) in literature,” he said. “literature requires experience, in a way that mathematics and music do not.” alan rinzler, a publishing industry veteran, suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make it better.bens father, ken, said bens ambitions “werent to knock harry potter off the list,” but “to get that good feeling inside that youve done something.” ajla dizdarevic, 12, who has selfpublished two books of poetry, has been on television and in local newspapers. being a published author, she said, “was always a dream of mine.” her new dream: three books by age 15. 46. which of the following is true of ben?a. he has achieved something unusual for his age b. his self-published books were well received.c. his manuscripts were favored by the publisher.d. he was thought little of by the public media.47. what makes it possible for writers of all ages to self-publish their works?a. the rapid increase of online readership.b. the increasing number of publishers.c. the development of printing and publishing.d. the immediate access to marketing agencies48. some parents pay the self-publishing bill for the purpose of _. a. offering opportunities b. giving encouragementc. helping avoid hardshipd. showing love and care49. alan rinzler suggests that children should _.a. be forbidden to write booksb. start writing at an early agec. be professionally guidedd. learn from experience50. according to the last part, some children self-publish works just to_ .a. earn more moneyb. satisfy their parentsc. gain
