21、   We know that reading is good for children. Now, a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits. A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up with a large library at home improves literacy( 读写能力) ,number-sense , and even technological skills in later life. It appeared in the journal Social Science Research.

The researchers were exploring the advantages of scholarly culture. They were interested in a curious observation that some call the “radiation effect".“Radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books , but they don't read books. But somehow books benefit them, even though they don't read them as much as their parents wish them to,” said Joanna Sikora , a sociologist in Australia. Joanna and her colleagues analyzed data collected between 2011 and 2015 by the Organization for Economic Development. The survey assessed the literacy，numeracy(计算能力) , and technological competency of more than 160 , 000 adults from 31 countries. And it included a question about how many books participants had in their homes during adolescence.“What we were able to make clear was that people growing up around books had better literacy , numeracy and digital problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels , similar jobs ，and even similar adult habits in terms of reading or working at various numeracy-improving activities," she said.

In fact , teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment did as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books. Now , how might mere exposure lead to intellectual improvement?“If we grow up in a house , in a home where parents enjoy books , where books are given as birthday presents and valued , this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong urge to always come close to books and read more than we would.”

So keep shelves piled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, they'll be more likely to be able to spell “grateful" correctly as well.

【1】What's “radiation effect" according to the text?

A.The terrible effect of radiation on the persons and things.

B.The good influence of the bookish environment on adolescents.

C.The beneficial effect of reading books on adolescents.

D.The bad effect of the environment without books on adolescents.

【2】How does the exposure to books improve intellect?

A.Books bring a sense of identity and eagerness to read more.

B.Books help to provide a chance to come close to society,

C.Books are always given to adolescents as valuable presents.

D.Books will offer the teens an urge to make great achievements.

【3】What's the author's attitude towards bookish environment?

A.Opposed. B.Neutral.

C.Indifferent. D.Supportive.

【4】What's the best title for the text?

A.Reading More Helps Improve Children's Abilities

B.Reading at Home Brings Children Many Advantages

C.Growing Up Around Books Benefits Children a Lot

D.Creating a Bookish Environment for Children Is of Much Importance

22、Life is a process. It is said that it doesn’t come the same again; it is glad that the same doesn’t have to come back again.

In this life, what did you miss?

The wife asked the husband when she was 25. Worried, the husband replied, “I missed a new job opportunity.”

When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus.

At 45, the husband sadly said, “I missed the opportunity seeing my close relative before his last breath.”

At 55, the husband said disappointedly, “I missed a good chance to retire.”

At 65, the husband hurriedly replied, “I missed an appointment with the dentist.”

At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore, the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, “In this life, I did not miss having you!”

The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work and something unimportant. So much had he never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly and said, “Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me.”
