unit 3learning about language阅读理解aone period of our lives when better results are demanded of us is, strangely enough, childhood. despite being young we are expected to achieve good grades, stay out of trouble, make friends at school, do well on tests, perform chores at home and so on. its not easy. the good news is that being likeable can help a child perform better. likeable children enjoy many advantages, including the ability to cope more easily with stresses of growing up. in her book understanding child stress, dr. carolyn leonard states that children who are likeable and optimistic are able to gain support from others. this leads to focus and resilience, the ability to recover from or adjust early to life stress; a child who has adequate emotional armor can continue down the path to success. much research shows that resilience has enabled children to succeed in school, avoid drug abuse, and develop a healthy self-awareness. why does a likeable child more easily handle stress and do better in his or her life? because likeability helps create whats known as a positive feedback loop(回馈圈). the positive feelings you want to see in other people are returned to you, creating constant encouragement and motivation to deal with the daily stress of life. this feedback loop continues into adulthood. to return once again to the example of teaching, learning becomes easier with a likeable personality. michael delucchi of the university of hawaii reviewed dozens of studies to determine if likeable teachers received good ratings because of their likeability or because they in fact taught well. delucchi found that “students who perceive(察觉)a teacher as likeable, in contrast to those who do not, may be more attentive to the information that the teacher delivers and theyll work harder on assignments, and they will learn more. ”you may have noticed this pattern in your own life when you try to give some advice. the more positive your relationship with that person, the more he or she seems to listen to, and the more you feel certain that that person has heard you and intends to act on your words. 1. the writer implies in the first paragraph that. a. children are expected more than we usually thinkb. life is not easy for every one of usc. better education results in smarter childrend. to be a likeable child is almost impossible2. according to dr. leonard, likeable children. a. can cope more easily with stress independentlyb. know how to avoid trouble and unpleasant eventsc. are always optimistic and ready to help those in needd. can achieve more and understand themselves better3. the underlined part “emotional armor” in paragraph 3 means. a. mental support from friendsb. mental support from adultsc. failures in lifed. ability to handle life stress4. the main purpose of the studies done by michael delucchi is to find. a. if a likeable teacher has a positive personalityb. if a likeable teacher draws more attentionc. how a teachers likeability gains popularityd. how a likeable teachers teaching style is formed5. the passage aims at proving that. a. likeable people do better in life generallyb. likeable people do better in their childhoodc. social creatures enjoy more advantagesd. likeable people give better advicebdiana jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart. “i have two kids in college, and i want to say come home, but at the same time i want to provide them with a good education, ”says jacobs. the jacobs family did work out a solution: they asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan(贷款)program. they will each graduate with a debt of $20, 000, but at least they will be able to finish school. with unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the jacobses. more students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. college administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. at the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. a report from the national center for public policy and higher education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade. “if we go on this way for another 25 years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education, ”says patrick m. callan, president of the center. “the middle-class families have been financing it through debt. they will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt. ”financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. the good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted. 6. according to paragraph 1, why did the plan of the jacobs family fail? a. the twins wasted too much money. b. the father was out of work. c. their savings ran out. d. the family fell apart. 7. how did the jacobses manage to solve their problem? a. they asked their kids to come home. b. they borrowed $20, 000 from the schools. c. they encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs. d. they got help from the schools and the federal government. 8. financial aid administrators believe that. a. more families will face the same problem as the jacobsesb. the government will receive more letters of complaintc. college tuition fees will double soond. americas unemployment will fall9. what can we learn about the middle-class families from the text? a. they blamed the government for the tuition increase. b. their income remained steady in the last decade. c. they will try their best to send kids to college. d. their debts will be paid off within 25 years. 10. according to the last paragraph, the government will. a. provide most students with scholarshipsb. dismiss some financial aid administratorsc. stop the companies from making student loansd. go on providing financial support for college studentscthis is the age of being busy. many of us live in busy places and have busy lives. even the roads are busy as we try to get from here to there. adults are busy going to jobs and taking care of their families. kids are busy, too, going to school and doing lots of homework after school and on weekends. being busy isnt bad, necessarily. if youre not busy enough you might be bored. but if youre too busy, you might break down. for instance, if you have a soccer game that runs late on a school night and you havent eaten dinner or done your homework. thats a not-so-fun kind of busy. we wanted to know what kids thought, so we did a kids poll about being busy with 882 girls and boys aged 9 to 13. almost all of them said they felt stressed because they were too busy. about half said they felt this way once in a while or some of the time. but 17% said they felt this way most of the time and 24% said they felt like this all the time! oh dear, thats no fun. only 4% of kids said they wanted less free time and 18% said they already had just the right amount. but, no big surprise, 61% of kids wish they had a lot more free time. if they had more time, most would spend it hanging out or playing with friends. often, adults plan large parts of a kids day, especially during the school year. kids cant tell their parents theyll be skipping school(逃学)today to get more free time! but they can tell their parents theyd like to play a game or read a book during their free time instead of watching tv. 11. the purpose of the first paragraph is to. a. introduce the topicb. support the main ideac. raise the topic sentenced. attract the readers attention12. by giving the example of a late soccer game, the writer intends to tell us. a. being too busy is bad for the kidsb. it is no fun to be busy for the kidsc. homework should go before gamed. being busy may cause the kids to feel bored13. according to the passage, the kids poll is done to carry out research on. a. how kids arrange their free timeb. what kids think of being busyc. how many kids feel stressedd. what kids do with their study14. according to the kids poll, what conclusion can we draw? a. 91% of the kids think being busy is no fun. b. 22% of the kids dont need more free time. c. 61% of the kids spend free time playing. d. 24% of the kids like the busy way. 15. from the passage, we can infer that the writer agrees kids can. a. spend their free time hanging or playing outb. get a lot more free time from their parentsc. have a right amount of free time with permissiond. get more free time from school work sometimes答案解析可爱对人有什么好处呢?
