Choose the best answer that answers each of the questions or completes each of the unfinished statements according to what you have read.(30 points)AWhen a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesnt care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But, ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending its 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 doesnt matter！”，children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “Im 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 childs 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 out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.( )56. A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may _.A. care nothing about itB. develop a sense of angerC. do something uncool purposelyD. pretend to get hurt very much( )57. A teacher can help an unpopular child by _.A. seeing the child as the teachers favouriteB. asking the child to do something for partnersC. forcing other children to make friends with the childD. offering the child chances to show his good qualities.( )58. How can parents help their child fit in better?A. By cooking delicious food for himB. By being kind to his schoolmatesC. By forcing him to invite friends homeD. By taking him to have picnics in the park( )59. Which of the following is TRUE？A. Children doesnt care others comments on themB. Its only teachers work to make children popular.C. Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.D. Inviting childrens friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.( )60. The passage mainly talks about _.A. how to help an unpopular childB. why some children are unpopularC. who is responsible for unpopular childrenD. how to find out good points of unpopular childrenBParents 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 wateras 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 dont seem to count things like water or sand. vanMarle said. What were saying is that they can quantify substances；its 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. Weve discovered a 1ot of early abilities. I think for parents, it should be exciting to know that theres somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world，and that knowledge is guiding their development. VanMarle said.In the future, VanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a childs 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 substancesB. get much knowledge of the worldC. identify the quantity of somethingD. obtain math-related skills( )62. What is mainly talked about in Paragragh4?A. The process of doing research B. The scientific findingsC. The final choice of infants D. The observation of infants behavior( )63. Babies choose the larger amount of food_.A. by saying numbers B. with the help of parentsC. on personal preference D. through their natural abilities（ ）64. We can learn from the text that_.A. some parents dont care about their kidsB. people used to think the world is known to babiesC. little research has been done on infantsD. scholars have different opinions on baby- training programs（ ）65. Whats the best title of the text?A. Breakthrough in Baby Studies B. Amazing Baby-training IdeasC. Early Human Abilities D. Unique Quantifying MethodsCSHANGHAI-Partly because of a string of malfunctions and the July 23 train crash in Wenzhou, the BeijingShanghai 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 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 Centers 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 companys 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 t
