26、   Recent research shows the importance of friendship, and its influence on mental and physical health. Preschool friendships are helpful in developing social and emotional skills, increasing a sense of belonging and reducing stress. People who feel lonely tend to be more depressed, have more health problems and may have a shorter lifespan.

Paul Schwartz, a professor of psychology and child behavior expert, has noted the many benefits of childhood friendship. “Friendships significantly help the development of social skills, such as being sensitive to another’s viewpoints, and learning the rules of conversation and age-appropriate behaviors,” Schwartz said. More than half of the children with emotional behavioral problems have no friends or find difficulty interacting with peers.(同龄人).”

“Friends also have a powerful influence on a child’s good or poor school performance, and may also help encourage or discourage deviant(反常的) behaviors,” he continued. “Compared to children who lack friends, children with good friends have higher self-worth, act more socially, and can deal with life stresses and transitions(过渡期).”

Both boys and girls form strong attachments to others and both need social and emotional support. Unfortunately, stereotypes(固有形象) of boys often send the message that boys don’t feel as strongly or form the same type of attachments in their friendships, but this is wrong. It’s human nature to attach to certain people and want closeness and support from others, regardless of gender.

At Powell Elementary School in Washington, all the teachers make an effort to place children in classes with others with whom they have developed friendships. This is designed to help children maintain(维系) special relationships.

Jason Harris, a prekindergarten teacher at Powell, said efforts to place children in classes with their friends have proven to be beneficial. “This year I am sending half of my class to kindergarten,” Harris said. “They will probably be nervous in the fall but less so because they will have a few warm faces who are happy to see them when they step in that classroom for the first time.”

“I do not believe that children can learn if they do not feel comfortable and valued the classroom,” said Amy Symonds, another prekindergarten teacher at the school.

There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for friendship; people develop socially in different ways. There’s, however, ways to help children develop relationship skills that will build deep, meaningful connections with others. And it’s important to note that the benefits of friendship are based on quality, not quantity.

【1】What can we learn from Paul Schwartz's words?

A.Kids should stay away from friends who are bad influences.

B.Children who lack friends are less likely to be respected by peers.

C.The development of adults' social skills depends on preschool friendships.

D.Over half of children's behavioral problems are caused by their interaction with peers.

【2】What is the fixed idea that people have according to the text?

A.Girls don't need to form strong attachments to boys.

B.Loneliness contributes a lot to a person's shorter lifespan.

C.Boys need less closeness and support from other than girls.

D.It's hard for boys and girls to form the same type of friendship.

【3】The strategy used at Powell Elementary School is to help children ________.

A.develop special relationships with their teachers

B.lessen their fears about the transition to a higher grade

C.learn as much social and cultural knowledge as possible

D.follow class rules and change age-in appropriate behaviors

【4】Following the last paragraph, the author would most probably further talk about ________.

A.when and where to develop friendships

B.what developing childhood friendships is for

C.how to help develop warm childhood friendships

D.whether to develop more childhood friendships or not

27、   As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Yet re­readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a traditional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.

New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebecca Mead, a long-time English woman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re­reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeated reading, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.

Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”

It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by living experience but also by reading experience. More than the movie director, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to experience mixed feelings in literature. 

Re-reading a book takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it extremely worthwhile.

【1】The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to________.

A.attract the attention of readers B.introduce the topic of the passage

C.provide some background information D.show the similarity between re­readers

【2】The underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.

A.recite them B.re­read them C.recall them D.retell them

【3】It can be learned from the passage that________.

A.reading benefits people both physically and mentally

B.readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading

C.we know ourselves better through re­reading experience

D.writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do

【4】The purpose of the passage is to________.

A.call on different understandings of old books

B.focus on the mental health benefits of reading

C.bring awareness to the significance of re­reading

D.introduce the effective ways of re­reading old books

28、The Franklin Institute is one of the oldest and most beloved science museums in the U.S.

29、Learning a second language is tough at any age. Now, in a new study, scientist have found out the exact age after which your chances of reaching fluency（流利）in a second language seem to plummet:10.

The study published in the journal Cognition, found that it's "nearly impossible" for language learners to reach native-level（母语水平）fluency if they start learning a second language after age 10. "It turns out you're still learning fast," says study co-author Joshua Hartshorne. "It's just that you run out of time, because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 17 or 18 years old," People who start a few years after age 10 may still become quite good at a language, the authors say, but they are unlikely to become fluent.

Kids may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. Children's brains are more plastic than those of adults, meaning they're better able to adapt and respond to new information. Kids may also be more willing to try new things than adults are. Their comparatively new understanding of their native language may also be advantageous.

These findings may seem discouraging, but it was inspiring for scientists to learn that the key period for fluent language learning might be longer than previously thought. Some scientists believed that the window begins to close shortly after birth, while others made it longer to very early childhood. Compared with those judgments-age 17 or 18 —when language learning ability start to drop off—seems relatively old.

For this study, the researchers created an online test promising to guess people's native language and home country based on their responses to English grammar questions. Almost 670,000 people took it, giving the researchers huge amounts of data from English speakers of many ages and backgrounds. Examining the responses and grammar mistakes allowed them to made unusually exact judgments about language learning.

B．Children are at an advantage in acquiring a new language.

C．All these new findings are quite discouraging for scientists.

D．People have different key periods for mastering a language.

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?

A．The purpose of the study.

B．The findings of the study.

C．The subject of the study.

D．The process of the study.

【4】What's the best title of the text?

A．Kids Are Better at Learning New Languages

B．Adults Can't Learn a Second Language Well

31、课文内容填空

Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
