When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty and inexact command. What accounts for this difference?Despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behavior of the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, right use of words and right structure. He drinks in all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.来源：中国职称英语考试网Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January. And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again and again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood and fulfilled. Finally, though a childs teachers may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close and personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy. 来源：中国职称英语考试网1. Compared with adults learning a foreign language, children learn their native language with ease. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned2.

for 25 percent of observed global warming over the past century来源：中国职称英语考试网 Soot in the higher latitudes of the Earth，where ice is more common，absorbs more of the suns energy and warmth than an icy,white backgroundDark-colored black carbon，or soot，absorbs sunlight, while lighter colored ice reflects sunlight Soot in areas with snow and ice may play an important role in climate changeAlso，if snow and ice covered areas begin melting，the warming effect increases，as the soot becomes more concentrated on the snow surface”This provides a positive feedbackas glaciers and ice sheets melt，they tend to get even dirtier,”said DrJames Hansen，a researcher at NASAs Goddard Institute for Space StudiesNew York Hansen found soots effect on snow albedo (solar energy reflected back to space)，which may be contributing to trends toward early springs in the Northern Hemisphere，such as thinning Arctic sea ice，melting glaciers and permafrostSoot also is believed to play a role in changes in the atmosphere above the oceans and land来源：中国职称英语考试网 “Black carbon reduces the amount of energy reflected by snow back into space，thus heating the snow surface more than if there were no black

as acarbondioxide forcing of the same magnitudeHansen noted Hansen cautioned，although the role of soot in altering global climate is substantial，it does not alter the fact that greenhouse gases are

Occasionally a friendship formed during schooldays will persist, but this is rate. For us there are few well-defined rules governing the obligation of friendship. It is difficult to say at which point our friendship gives way to business opportunity (机会主义) or pressure from above. In this we differ from many other people in the world. As a general rule, in foreign countries friendships are not formed as quickly as in the United States but go much deeper, last long, and involve real obligations. For example:来源：中国职称英语考试网It is important to stress that in the Middle East and Latin America your “Friends” will not let you down. The fact that they personally are in trouble is never an excuse for failing their friends. They are supposed to look out for your interests.Friends and family around the world represent a sort of social insurance that would be difficult to find in the United States. We do not use our friends to help us out in disaster as much as we do as a means of getting ahead or, at least, of getting the job done. The United States systems work by means of a series of closely tabulated (把。列成表格) favors and obligations carefully doled out (以小份分给；少量地发给)where they will do the most good. And the least that we expect in exchange for a favor is gratitude. 来源：中国职称英语考试网The opposite is the case in India, where the friends role is to “sense” a persons need and do something about it. The idea of reciprocity as we know is unheard friendship patterns. He gains nothing by extending himself in behalf of others, least of all gratitude, because the Indian assumes that what he does for others he does for the good of his own psyche(心灵). He will find it impossible to make friends quickly and is unlikely to allow sufficient time for friendships to ripen. He will also note that as he gets to know people better they may become more critical of him, a fact that he finds hard to take. What he does not know is that one sign of friendship is speaking ones mind. 1.

Which of the following is NOT true about friendships in the Middle East?A) they go deep来源：中国职称英语考试网B) they last longC) they involve real obligationsD) they form quickly3.

In the aftermath (后果，结果)of the terrorist attack on the world trade center, structural engineers are trying hard to solve a question that a month ago would have been completely unthinkable: Can building be designed to withstand catastrophic blasts inflicted by terrorists?来源：中国职称英语考试网 Ten days after the terrorist attacks on the twin towers, structural engineers from the University at Buffalo and the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) headquartered at UB traveled to ground zero as part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation. Visiting the site as part of an MCEER reconnaissance （侦察，勘察）visits, they spent two days beginning the task of formulating ideas about how to design such structures and to search for clues on how to do so in buildings that were damaged, but still are standing. “Our objective in visiting ground zero was to go and look at the buildings surrounding the World Trade Center, those buildings that are still standing, but that sustained
