The teachers at a primary school in the US noticed that, so they changed their students desks for exercise bikes as part of the Read and Ride program!This program began six years ago. A special classroom has enough bikes for every student in any class. Teachers bring in their students to read the books while riding the bikes. Theres also one exercise bike in the back of each classroom for students to exercise.Their teacher Mr. Ertl said many children found it boring when they read books. This program makes reading fun. They feel happy when they read books while riding the exercise bikes. As a result, the school found that students that spent more time reading and riding did better than others in reading tests.This program not only helps students do better in study, but also helps them keep healthy. Mr. Ertl said many students were fat and it was difficult for them to take exercise. On the bikes, they try their best to exercise at their own level.11 .

You are far more sensible than them, arent you?There is science to back up this theory. Scientists from Newcastle University, UK, and Seoul University, South Korea, found that the brain matures (成熟) earlier in girls than in boys. This is partly because of the way childrens brains are “pruned.”As the brain matures, it begins to cut out unimportant information and focus on important information. This process is called “pruning.”In order to learn more about this process, scientists scanned the brains of 121 people aged between 4 and 40. They found that pruning began much earlier in girls. Between the ages of 10 and 12, a girls brain will start to see a lot of activities as the pruning process starts. But for boys, this doesnt start until the age of 15 to 20.During this process, the brain will turn off memories, sounds or sights that appear several times. But important connections, like linking the sound of a familiar persons voice to their face, are kept.“The loss of connectivity during brain development can help to improve brain function,” scientist Sol Lim told the Daily Telegraph.To understand this more easily, imagine you are at a party and everyone is talking. You cant concentrate. But if you “turn off” some of the voices, it is easier to hear the others. The brain works in a similar way.14 . What did the scientists find?ABoys usually focus on unimportant information.BGirls never focus on unimportant information.CGirls mature earlier than boys.DConnectivity helps improve brain function.15 . What does the underlined word “pruned”probably mean?A删减B成长C改变D损失16 . What happens during the process “pruning”?AThe brain doesnt work for a moment.BYou cant remember, hear or see.CThe connections between things disappear.DBrains develop to focus on important information.17 . What can we know from the passage?ABoys are more silly than girls.BBoys are less sensible than girls.CYou can never concentrate at the parties.DBrains function better after losing some connections.三、用所给单词的正确形式填空18 .
