10、n China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinesestyle spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend mo

11、nths studying dictionaries.Perhaps the shows popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法) to be one of their primary contributions. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to w

12、rite their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet(字母). The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? Its possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write t

13、hem.But theres still hope for the paint brush. Chinas Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the

14、walls. Soft music plays as a group of sixyearold dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teachers examples before carefully trying to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now

15、?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they dont forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.21What can we learn about the Character Hero?AIt draws great public attention across

And, compared to adults, they develop these skills more quickly. People have a har

19、d time learning new languages as they grow older, but babies have the ability to learn any language easily.For a long time, scientists have tried to explain how such young children can learn the complicated grammatical rules and sounds of a language. Now, researchers are getting a better idea of wha

20、ts happening in the brains of the tiniest language learners. This new information might help kids with learning problems as well as adults who want to learn new languages. It might even help scientists who are trying to design computers that can communicate like people do.Most babies go “ma ma” by 6

21、 months of age, and most children speak in full sentences by age 3. For many years, scientists have wondered how the brains of young children figure out how to communicate using language. With help from new technologies, scientists are now finding that babies begin life with the ability to learn any

22、 language. They get into contact with other people, listen to what they say and watch their movements very closely. That is why they quickly master the languages they hear most often.Studies show that, up to about 6 months of age, babies can recognize all the sounds that make up all the languages in

23、 the world. Starting at around 6 months old a babys brain focuses on the most common sounds it hears. Then, children begin responding only to the sounds of the language they hear the most.In a similar way older babies start recognizing the patterns that make up the rules of their native language. Fo

24、r example, English children who are about 18 months old start to figure out that words ending in “-ing” or “-ed” are usually verbs, and that verbs are action words.24The new research in the second paragraph can be helpful in _.Afinding successful language learners Bteaching kids with learning proble

25、msCdesigning human-shaped computers Dimproving babies language ability25The researchers found out that babies learn a language mainly by _.Arepeating the words of other people Bremembering the full sentences they hearChearing and closely watching others speak Dfiguring out the meaning of different s

26、ounds26The purpose of the text is to _.A. discuss B. educate C. inform D. entertainCAs is often the case, parents are very shocked to discover their children have lied to them for the first time. But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell the

27、m.Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their childrens honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a lie.The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with almost anything even in the face of the evidenc

28、e. They say parents suffer from a “truth bias(偏见)” with their own youngsters, but when faced with lies from other peoples children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.Dr Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Canada, said, “The close relationship that parent

29、s share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their childrens lies. Parents truth bias may result in parents being less suspicious of their children, allowing them to successfully cheat them.”Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling

30、 more believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is considered as a key part of cognitive(认知的) and social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr Evans and her colleagues filmed 108 children aged

31、between 8 and 16 as they performed a test after being asked not to look at the answers. They were then asked afterwards if they had looked, with 50 truthfully denying looking, 49 lying about looking and 9 admitting to looking.Videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children

32、 aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children than by other peoples children.27What does the underlined word “impair” in Paragraph 2 mean?AShow. BDevelop. CRecognize. DDamage.28When

33、 lying to their parents, children cant be easily found because _.Atheir parents arent prepared for the liesBtheir parents cant notice any of their liesCthey are very good at hiding their liesDthey know how to lie to their parents29What does Dr Evans want to find about childrens lying?AWhat makes par

34、ents lose trust in their children.BWhat causes children to tell lies to their parents.CWhat makes parents fail to see their childrens lies.DWhat affects childrens relations with their parents.30What can be inferred from Dr Evanss study in the last two paragraphs?AParents tend to protect their own ch
