when i try eating leaves like that, i get a stomachache. why?” this began a lot of questions that lasted nearly two hours. secondly, give them time to think. studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, many teachers usually wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. when teachers increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give better answers.but in talking about science, these words make a child think that the discussion is over. instead, keep things going by saying, “thats interesting” or “ive never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.lastly, show; dont tell. let children look at their hands through a microscope（显微镜）, and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.36. to help children enjoy science, the most important thing for teachers to do is _.a. let them see the world around b. let them study in modern labsc. tell them the difficult terms on science d. share the childrens interests37. in the last sentence of the second paragraph, the words “your lists” mean _.a. your answers to the questions b. your own questions about sciencec. your questions from textbooks d. all the questions of your own38. according to the passage, children can give better answers to the questions if teachers _.a. ask them to answer quickly b. wait for one or two seconds after a questionc. tell them to watch their language d. wait at least three seconds after a question39. the writer talks about all of the following ways except that teachers should _.a. tell their children stories instead of telling them to remember factsb. offer their children chances to see things for themselvesc. allow enough time for their children to find answers to the questionsd. encourage their children to ask questions of their own40. the writer of the passage is probably _.a. a teacher b. a scientistc. a seven-year-old boys father d. a reporterbsince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. braincomputer interface (bci) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.recently, two researchers, jose millan and michele tavella from the federal polytechnic school in lausanne, switzerland, demonstrated (展示) a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.in the laboratory, tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. he could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve cells. these send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. but spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles. tavella says. “our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”the researchers designed a special cap for the user. this head cover picks up the signals from the scalp (头皮) and sends them to a computer. the computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. the wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. they help the computer react to commands from the brain.prof. millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “the practical possibilities that bci technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. one example is this wheelchair.”he says his team has set two goals. one is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. and the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.41. bci is a technology that can _.a. help to update computer systems b. link the human brain with computersc. help the disabled to recover d. control a persons thoughts42. how did tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?a. by controlling his muscles. b. by talking to the machine.c. by moving his hand. d. by using his mind.43. which of the following shows the path of the signals described in paragraph 5?a. scalpcomputercapwheelchair b. computercapscalpwheelchairc. scalpcapcomputerwheelchair d. capcomputerscalpwheelchair44. the team will test with real patients to _.a. make profits from them b. prove the technology useful to themc. make them live longer d. learn about their physical condition45. which of the following would be the best title for the text?a. switzerland, the bci research centerb. new findings about how the human brain worksc. bci could mean more freedom for the disabledd. robotic vehicles could help to cure brain injuries cim five years old, and my mother is washing the kitchen floor. im telling her about a new girl in school, and she suddenly looks up at me and says, “ who are your two best friends ? ” im not sure what to say. ive been friends with jill since i was three or so , and i really like jaime , a friend in kindergarten .“ jill and jaime .” “ well , what about karen and cindy ?”“ i dont know who their best friends are ,” i say .“ no ,” she says . “ im saying , why arent they your best friends ?” “ but theyre my sisters .”“ yes , but they can still be your best friends . friends may come and go, but your sisters will always be there for you .”at that time, the idea of my two sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. we fought all the time over toys, food , attention , and what to watch on television . how could my sisters be my best friends ?but my mother never let the three of us forget it : sisters are lifelong friends . her wishlike most parentswas to give us something that she never had. growing up as an only child, she longed for brothers and sisters. she gave birth to three daughters. she had given us each a giftour sisters.as we grew up, we realized that our mother was right. today i share things with my sisters that i do with no one else. my sister cindy and i ran the new york city marathon together , side-by-side , even holding hands when we crossed the finish line . the three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets. it was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. today she doesnt have to. she already knows.46. how old was the writer when she wrote the passage ?a. 5 . b. 9 . c. 23 . d. 28 .47. according to the writer , why cant her sisters become her friends ?a. because they are older than her . b. because they dont like her .c. because they often fought with each other . d. because they have their own friends .48. what did the writer feel when her mother said her sisters could be her best friends ?a. strange . b. excited . c. interested . d. pleased .49. what might be the most suitable title for the passage ?a. my best friends . b. the greatest gift . c. my sisters and i d. my mothers dream .50. what can we learn from the passage ?a. my mother used to give us some gifts .b. my mothers sisters are her best friends .c. my sisters and i always get along well .d. my sisters and i become good friends now .dding-dong！“jason, honey?
