When a child is told he is uncool it can be very painful He may say he doesn t care and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose But ultimately these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it s not there Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful If you say Why are you worried about what other children think about you It doesn t matter children know that it does matter Instead an active way may be best You could say I m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school If a boy is having trouble making friends the teacher can help him The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him A teacher can also raise a child s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child or let him be a partner with that child in activities etc There are things that patents can do at home too Be friendly when your child brings others home to play Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider super When you plan trips picnics movies and other shows invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him

children B Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops New research has determined that the ability to quantify develop much sooner than most parents realize Kristy VanMarle professor of the University of Missouri has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown infants 婴儿 are able to quantify substances 物质 like sand or water as early as 10 months As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough infants will choose the larger amount especially when it comes to food With the assistance of her team researchers VanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups one containing a small amount of food and one containing a larger amount Consistently the babies chose the larger amount Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see however infants don t seem to count things like water or sand vanMarle said What we re saying is that they can quantify substances it s just much harder The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories They decide which amount is larger and they almost always select the larger one This information further refutes 驳斥 the long held idea that babies know nothing of the world VanMarle said Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures We ve discovered a 1ot of early abilities I think for parents it should be exciting to know that there s somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world and that knowledge is guiding their development VanMarle said 用心 爱心 专心 7 In the future VanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child s progress in math related skills although programs marketed to increase those abilities such as Baby Einstein still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study 61 The quantifying ability refer to the ability to A choose between different substances B get much knowledge of the world C identify the quantity of something D obtain math related skills 62 What is mainly talked about in Paragragh4 A The process of doing research B The scientific findings C The final choice of infants D The observation of infant s behavior 63 Babies choose the larger amount of food A by saying numbers B with the help of parents C on personal preference D through their natural abilities 64 We can learn from the text that A some parents don t care about their kids B people used to think the world is known to babies C little research has been done on infants D scholars have different opinions on baby training programs 65 What s the best title of the text A Breakthrough in Baby Studies B Amazing Baby training Ideas C Early Human Abilities D Unique Quantifying Methods C SHANGHAI Partly because of a string of malfunctions and the July 23 train crash in Wenzhou the Beijing Shanghai high speed railway was not as popular in its first month of operation as many had expected In a news release on Monday the Minister of Railways said the railway had transported 5 26 million passengers from July 1 to July31 or170 000 passengers a day on average And an average of 179 trains including both those that run at 200km h and at 300km h trains were on the line every day and the trains had an occupancy rate 上座率 of 107 the ministry said To many who traveled that last figure no doubt seems puzzling How after all could carriages that were often half empty have been 107 occupied Zhao Jian professor at Beijing Jiaotong University said the figure is not a good reflection of reality He accounted for it by nothing that a seat aboard one of the trains would be said to have a 200 occupancy rate if one passenger had sat in it from Beijing to Tianjin and then another passenger had occupied the same seat from Suzhou to Shanghai Despite the impressiveness of those figures travelers will find perhaps to their surprise that they will have little trouble buying tickets to ride the 1 318 km long high speed rail line By 7 30 pm on Monday passengers could still 用心 爱心 专心 8 buy 754 second class tickets and 148 first class tickets for a high speed train that is to leave from Shanghai for Beijing on Tusday afternoon according to the China Railway Customer Service Center s website The train contains 1 066 seats The story was different for those who want to travel by air between Shanghai and Beijing Luo Zhuping board secretary of China Eastern Airlines said seats on the company s flights on that route are selling well 90 percent of them continue to be occupied The situation was different in the first week after the Beijing Shanghai high speed train began operating on the last day of June The airline then saw the number of travelers using its service fall by 20 percent and began offering generous discounts to draw in more passengers Few such incentives are being given now he said Still passengers have not totally abandoned high speed rails in the days following the Wenzhou train crash which has killed 40passengers and injured 191 66 Which of the following is NOT true about the Beijing Shanghai high speed train A It began operating on June 30th B There are trains that run at different speeds C An average of 179 trains were on the line every day D On average 5 26 million passengers take it a day in July 67 What made many people who traveled puzzled A The train s speed B The number of the trains C The train s occupancy rate D The seats number of the train 68 According to Zhao Jian the occupancy rate of the train

high speed railway has a great impact on airlines C Airlines aren t affected by high speed railway so much D The high speed railway is much more popular than airlines 70 What can we know from the 4th
