As Amy Paul choked(哽住) on a piece of apple at her home, her dog jumped up, landing hard on h

47、er chest and forcing the piece in her throat out. When the Keesling family of Indiana was about to be killed by carbon monoxide, their cat clawed at the wife Cathys hair until she woke up and called for help. No one could explain their timely heroics. Both pets were rescued by their owners in infanc

48、yToby as a 4-week-old thrown into a garbage bin to die, and Winnie as a week-old orphan hiding under a barn, so helpless that Cathys husband, Eric, had to feed her milk with an eyedropper. As the Keeslings recalled it, a gas-driven pump being used broke down, spreading carbon monoxide through the ho

49、use. By the time Winnie went to rescue, the couples 14-year-old son was already unconscious. “Winnie jumped on the bed and was clawing at me, with a kind of angry sound,” Cathy Keesling said. The state police responding to her 911 call said the family was only minutes from death, judging by the amou

50、nt of poisonous gas in the house. Amy Pauls husband was at his job when she took a midday break from making jewelry and bit into an apple. “Normally I peel them, but I read in Good Housekeeping Magazine that the skin has all the nutrients, so I ate the skin, and thats what caused me to choke,” she r

51、ecalled. “I couldnt breathe and I was in panic when Toby jumped on me. He never does that, but he did, and saved my life.”Both Toby and Winnie accompanied their owners to the awards luncheon.56.

61、RETARY D. PAINTERC High childcare costs are putting British mothers off going out to work. It really is that simple. Eurostat figures show that 66 per cent of mothers in the UK work, less than France (72 per cent), Denmark (86 per cent), the Netherlands (78 per cent) or Germany (69 per cent). This n

62、ot only damages Britains economic prosperityit limits womens careers and squeezes family incomes. It would be fine if this is the choice parents want to make, but it isnt. Half of those surveyed want to go to work and the expense of childcare is one of the key reasons they couldnt. Despite claims ma

63、de by Labour (工党) about childcare, a forthcoming (即将到来的) report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) confirms the true legacy of their time in government. They left behind a childcare system with high costs to parents, variable quality and patchy (不均匀的) coverage, despite soaring govern

64、ment spending. British parents now face the highest childcare bills in the world after Switzerland. In the Eighties and Nineties under Mrs Thatcher and John Major, the picture was very different. Mothers in England were more likely to go out to work than their Dutch or German counterparts. But the p

65、osition has reversed, despite a huge rise in public spending. So why does the British Government spend more on childcare than France or Germany, even though the costs given to parents are sky-high? As always, under the previous government, money was frittered away (浪费) without adequate focus on impr

66、oving quality. Instead of clear and transparent funding, four separate funding streams were created, skewing (偏离) the market and confusing parents and providers alike. The majority of the money was given away in cash benefits; so much of it did not get through to the front line. The IPPR report poin

67、ts out that continental systems, in countries such as Germany, France, Denmark and the Netherlands, manage to deliver better value for money. What all of these systems have in common is a focus on quality, with greater flexibility and autonomy given to local providers. They also see a much higher pr

68、oportion of government money getting to the front line. 64. Which of the following doesnt belong to the disadvantages caused by the mothers prevented from going to work? A. Damaging Britains economic development. B. Causing damage to womens careers. C. Decreasing the family incomes. D. Causing child

69、care costs to go up.65. According to the second paragraph, we can infer that the former government of the Labour Party _. A. was highly praised by British people B. made British people face the highest childcare bills C. left behind a childcare system full of problems D. managed to decrease the gove

70、rnment spending66. We can learn from the passage that _. A. in the Eighties and Nineties, mothers in the UK were likely to work B. there is a prejudice against mothers in the UK employment market C. most of the mothers surveyed in the UK dont want to work D. the percentage of mothers who work in the

71、 UK is the lowest in the worldD Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination and physical, cognitive (认知的), and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. Play allows children to create and explore a world they can master, conquering their

72、fears while practicing adult roles. Undirected play allows children to learn how to work in groups, to share, to negotiate, and to resolve conflicts. Ideally, much of play involves adults, but when play is controlled by adults, children acquiesce (顺从) to adult rules and concerns and lose some of the

73、 benefits play offers them, particularly in developing creativity, leadership, and group skills. In contrast to passive entertainment, play builds active, healthy bodies. In fact, it has been suggested that encouraging unstructured play may be an exceptional way to increase physical activity levels

74、in children, which is one important strategy in the resolution of the obesity problem. Childrens development is critically influenced by appropriate, affective relationships with loving and consistent caregivers as they relate to children through play. When parents observe their children in play or

75、join with them in child-driven play, they are given a unique opportunity to see the world from their childrens vantage point as the child navigates a world perfectly created just to fit his or her needs. The interactions that occur through play tell children that parents are fully paying attention t

76、o them and help to build enduring relationships. Parents who have the opportunity to look at their childrens world learn to communicate more effectively with their children and are given another setting to offer guidance. Less verbal children may be able to express their views, giving their parents

77、an opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of their perspective. Quite simply, play offers parents a wonderful opportunity to engage fully with their children. Play is essential to the academic environment. It ensures that the school setting attends to the social and emotional development of chil

78、dren as well as their cognitive development. It has been shown to help children adjust to the school setting and even to strengthen childrens learning willingness. Social-emotional learning is best integrated (融合) with academic learning; it is concerning if some of the forces that enhance childrens ability to learn are improved at the expense of others. Play and unscheduled time that allow for p
