Now scientists have found a better way to rouse slumbering youngsters. Researchers in the US have discovered that playing a child a recording of his mothers voice is about three times more likely to wake him up than a traditional alarm.Writing in the Journal of Pediatrics, Smith and colleagues report how they compared the effects of four different smoke alarms on 176 children aged between 5 and 12 years old, none of whom had hearing difficulties or were taking any medication that affected their sleep. While one alarm featured a high pitched beeps he sort of commonly found in households the other three featured the voice of the childs mother calling either the childs name, giving instructions such as: Wake up! Leave the room or both. Each child slept in a lab-based room that resembled a real bedroom.The results show that vocal alarms appear to be more effective than high-pitched beeps. About 90% of children woke for a voice alarm compared with just over 53% for the traditional alarmHigh pitched beeping alarms dont wake up children well at all under about 12 years of age. Said Dr Gary Smith, a co-author of the research from the Nationwide Childrens hospital in Ohio, although he said at present it is not known why He said it was important to look at developing better alarmsProf Niamh Nic Daeid, director of the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science at the University of Dundee, said the research found a human voice combined with a low frequency pulsing tone was far more effective in waking up children than a traditional high-pitched alarm. She also noted that more work was needed to explore whether other familiar sounds, such as a dog barking, might also prove effective in rousing children.（1）What does the underlined word slumbering mean in Paragraph 1? A . restingB . sleepingC . lyingD . waking（2）Which of the following statements about the research is NOTTRUE? A . In the research, no kids had taken medicine with sleeping effect.B . 176 children were required to hear 4 different kinds of alarms.C . During the research, high pitched beeping alarm was used.D . Each kid slept in a real bedroom.（3）Why is it difficult to wake up kids under about 12 years of age with high pitched beeping alarm? A . Because high pitched beeping alarms are not so effective as voice alarms.B . Because high pitched beeping alarms are three times more likely to rouse kids.C . Because voice alarm is a better developed alarm.D . It is unknown so far.（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph? A . A human voice with a low-frequency pulsing tone was more effective.B . The sound of dog-barking is more effective in rousing childrenC . Other familiar sounds might be found effective in waking up kids.D . Traditional smoke alarm is no use at all（5）Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage? A . Mothers voice more effective in fire alarmsB . Say NO to high pitched beeping alarmsC . Sleeping in high pitched beeping alarmsD . How to develop a better alarm23. （8分）阅读理解 Twenty years ago in Costa Rica, three girls found a baby sloth（树懒）on a road. The little animals mother was killed by a car.

The main problems is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. When trees are cut down, sloths will fall and break themselves. Sloths who live near human beings sometimes are hit by cars or attacked by dogs.At the centre, workers care for the injured animals.

Two robots like humans, Max and Ben, have been helping teach autistic children at Topcliffe Primary School since March last year. The school is the first in the UK to try the new way.Ian Lowe, the head teacher, said, “The robots have no feelings, so autistic children find that they are less terrible than their teachers.” He added, “They are really cute-looking. Autistic children are hard to communicate with adults and other children, but for some reasons they like these robots. Some children are not able to communicate with others. But they come into school and start to communicate through the robots.”The robots are knee-high and move like children. The school is using them to teach phonics (声学) and play cards or memory and imitation (模仿) games with children from five to ten.Dr Guldberg said, “We do many different activities with the robots acting as a model for the childrens behavior. It is amazing to see how interested and concentrated the children can be when they are working with the robots. It can be very difficult to get autistic children to concentrate.” He added, “If you can meet the needs of autistic children, you can meet the needs of all children. And you know, when people feel safe and interested, they learn much better.”（1）According to Ian Lowe, teachers are_in autistic childrens eyes.A . kindB . seriousC . terribleD . strict（2）Which is TRUE about Max and Ben?A . They are robots with feelings.B . The can move like teachers.C . They are interested in autistic children.D .
