Is he or she afraid of reading out loud, writing an essay, or working out a math problem? While every kid has trouble with homework from time to time, if a certain area of learning keeps going wrong, it might show a learning disorder. Learning disorders, or learning disabilities, are a general term for a large number of learning problems.A learning disability is not a problem with IQ or motivation. Kids with learning disabilities arent lazy or slow. In fact, most are just as smart as everyone else. Their brains are just wired differently. Simply put, children and adults with learning disabilities see, hear, and understand things differently. This difference influences how they receive and process information. This can lead to trouble in learning new information and skills, and putting them to use.It can be hard to face the possibility that your child has a learning disorder. No parents want to see their children suffer. You may wonder what it could mean for your childs future, or worry about how your kid will make it through at school. But the important thing to remember is that most kids with learning disabilities are just as smart as everyone else. They just need to be taught in ways that suit their special learning styles.Its not always easy to tell whether a child has learning disabilities, for learning disabilities look very different from one child to another. One child may struggle with reading and spelling, while another loves books but cant understand math. Still another child may have difficulty understanding what others are saying or communicating out loud. However, some warning signs are more common than others at different ages. If you realize what they are, youll be able to catch a learning disorder early and quickly start to help your child.（1）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A . their brains are connected by different wiresB . their brains have a different way of receiving and processing informationC . their brains have different functionsD . their brains are made up of something different from that of normal people（2）From the passage, we can infer that _.A . students with learning disabilities look quite different from normal studentsB . students with learning disabilities cant do well in their studiesC . only few students with learning disabilities are as clever as normal studentsD . it is quite possible for a student with learning disabilities to succeed in their studies（3）What will be most probably discussed following the Paragraph 4?A .

But when the movie first appeared (出现) many years ago, there was no sound or music. Those silent (无声的) movies play an important role in movie history.When movie theatres showed silent movies, musicians were often there to play music along with the movie. Sometimes, musicians also made some special sounds. However, there was no sound in the movie itself. People learnt the story through the actors, the musicians and words on the screen. When movies first had sound, not everyone liked it. Many silent movie actors thought it was hard to act in the new kind of movies. Clara Bow was a famous silent-movie actress in the early 1920s. She was so nervous (紧张的) about her voice that she couldnt become a star in the world of talking pictures. She then left show business (演艺界).The Jazz Singer (1927) was the first movie with sound.

In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then maybe you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall youre going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.But genes dont decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting enough sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the right height.No doubt youre wondering how fast you should grow. Theres no perfect or right answer. Kids grow about 2 inches (5 centimetres) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimetres here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height youre at now, how youve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.Dont be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a very quick growth during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later between 7 and 13 for girls, 9 and 15 for boys.Youll usually begin to notice that youre growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.（1）The Chinese for the underlined word in the third paragraph “puberty” is.A . 童年时期B . 婴幼儿时期C . 习惯养成期D . 青春期（2）If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow,.A . you should have enough exerciseB . you can ask doctors for helpC . you should protect the environmentD . you can record your growth during puberty（3）This passage is mainly about. A . how the genes work in your bodyB . when is the time you grow fastC . why you look like your parentsD . how you grow to a certain height（4）After reading this passage, we can explain _. A . how good it is to be a doctorB . how much sleep we needC . why genes cant decide everythingD . what an unhealthy diet is（5）Which is NOT mentioned (提及) in the passage?A . Your height most probably depends on (取决于) how tall your parents are.B . Girls age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys.C . The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.D . You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.7. （10分）阅读理解 We never forget when Perronet came to us. It was on a spring afternoon. We never knew who drowned Perronet, but David pulled him out of the water and saved his life, People sometimes asked us what kind of dog he was, but we never knew, except that he was the nicest possible kind. Mother said we could not afford him because of the tax(税) and his keep. The tax was five shillings(先令), but it was nearly a year before the time when it must be paid. At last, we decided that all three of us would give up sugar toward saving the cost of his keep. It was the hardest for David because he was fond of sweet things, but then, he was fond of Perronet. So we all gave up sugar, and Perronet was allowed to remain.We were very happy that summer. The boys were especially happy. The only thing that vexed me was Perronets tax money, for months and months went on and we didnt save it. One day, I found David alone with Perronet in his arms. He was crying, and feeding Perronet with cake. I cant bear to see boys cry. I begged of David to stop, and told him I should certainly think of something. One day, we were all in school. The schoolmaster told us that there was to be a flower show for the school children this year, and that an old gentleman would give prizes to the best arranged wild flowers. There was to be a first prize of five shillings, and a second prize of a half crown, for the best collection of wild flowers, with their names upon them. I squeezed(挤) Davids arm, and whispered, Five shillings! I thought I could never get my lessons that day, for all day I was thinking about Perronets tax money. At night, I said to them, Look here! Ill make a collection of flowers. You two can make a collection of mosses(苔藓). There are ten kinds of mosses by the river, and we have names of our own for them. The boys agreed. Richard made me a box. We put wet sand at the bottom, then feather moss, and into that I stuck the flowers. I got all the flowers and all the grasses ready and printed the names on pieces of cardboard, to stick in with them. I didnt like it when it was done, but Richard praised it and that cheered me. I thought their mosses were beautiful. The day of the flower show was very hot. When we reached the tent, it was filled with grown-up people. It was very hard work getting about and trying to see the stands with flowers. We kept seeing tickets with First Prize and Second Prize. It made me feel sick with heat and anxiety, to think of them. We had walked slowly all round the tent. We had seen all the cucumbers, onions, lettuce, grapes, long potatoes, round potatoes and everything else. At last we saw my collection!

My father had brought me to this high tower in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa, Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw several streets leading to the square. See, my dear, Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you cant get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.Now I understood why I was there.

But as we grow up, we laugh less and feel more stressed. Try laughing for no reason at all. Thats how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world, and doctors now think that having a good laugh may be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in June,1995 by Dr Madam Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day.
