Children are very, very observant and have excellent memories.

Around Christmas last year, we were heading to Grandma’s house. The drive was an hour long, so we had plenty of time to chat. We were waiting to get onto the freeway when my daughter Hayley noticed a homeless man, no sign in hand. “Mom, is that man homeless?” I told her I believed he was.

We got onto the freeway and drove away. But the chatting had stopped. Hayley was quiet all the way there. We spent a few hours at Grandma’s then packed up to head home. As we drove back, Hayley rustled(沙沙作响地移动) around in her seat, trying to reach something on the floor of the car. I asked her to sit still, worried her seatbelt would slip from the booster seat. She mumbled(咕哝)something and sat back.

“Mom, will the homeless man still be outside tonight?” I told her I was not sure, maybe. It was a freezing night, and I started to think of the man now too, and how cold he must be.

All of a sudden, as we got onto the freeway exit, Haley shrieked (尖叫): “There he is! There he is!” and started rolling down her window. “Mom, I found these gloves and scarf back here. Can I give them to him? Can I?” she asked.

I pulled over to the edge of the road, and beckoned(招手示意) the man to come over. Haley smiled at him and handed him her gift. I looked in the front passenger seat, loaded with leftovers from Grandma’s house, and handed those out to him as well.

The man thanked us, he clutched (抓紧) my hand in his and I could feel the bitter cold of them. We wished him a safe night and continued on our journey to our warm home.

“Haley, that was very sweet of you!” I told her. “Well, they were your gloves and scarf, Mom, but his hands looked colder, and he has to keep looking for his house!”

We had talked about homelessness before , and I could hear myself telling her: “Someone who has lost their home.” She had taken my words literally and thought the man’s home was like a lost puppy.

On the ride home, and as I carried my sleeping angel into the house that night, my heart filled with gratitude.

When children learn a language, they learn the grammar as well as words or vocabulary. No one teaches them; children just “pick them up”.

Before babies begin to produce words, they produce sounds. Some of these sounds will remain if they occur in the language being learned, and others will disappear. This is called the “babbling stage”.

A child does not learn the language “all at once”. The child first speaks only one-word “sentences”. After a few months, the two-word stage arises. During this stage, the child puts two words together. These two-word sentences have definite patterns and express grammatical and meaningful relationships. Still later, in the telegraphic stage, the child will produce longer sentences. These longer sentences are mainly made up of content words. The child’s early grammar lacks many of the rules of the adult grammar, but gradually it will become perfect.

All normal children everywhere learn language. This ability is not dependent on race, social class, geography, or even intelligence (智力). This ability is uniquely (独特的) for human.

1.This passage is mainly about ___________.

A.differences between a child’s language and an adult’s

B.ways of teaching babies to talk

C.children’s learning of the mother language

D.the importance of learning foreign languages

2.The phrase “pick them up” means____________.

A.raise them from the ground

B.learn them without much effort

C.use hands to help carry them

D.study very hard and remember them

3.During the “babbling stage”, babies ___________.

A.can only produce sound

B.learn to work without falling over

C.can understand people’s talk

D.begin to produce two-word sentences

4.The two-word sentences produced by babies __________.

A.are simpler than those produced in the “babbling stage”

B.are much more difficult than those produced in the telegraphic stage

C.are strictly grammatical

D.are meaningful and have function

5.The passage implies that any children can learn a language as long as he is ___________.

A.well-educated                          B.clever enough

C.unique                               D.physical normal

We’re surrounded by chemistry in everyday life. Sometimes it is easy to see, like when your science teacher does a big experiment in class. At other times, it can be pretty hard to see everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch or use has some element of chemistry in it.

Something as simple as toothpaste contains at least three chemicals, if not more. It is the mixture of them and its chemical reaction that keeps your teeth clean. Other things you use every day are created by chemistry, such as hair products, shampoo and soap. Adding detergent (洗涤剂) to water involves chemistry. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes or skin. Chemistry not only helps us make products for use, but it also helps us understand the world around us. Chemistry helps us understand what the ozone layer (臭氧层) is and how it protects us. Chemistry also gives us sunscreen to protect us from the sun. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can’t be mixed with vinegar(醋), because it can produce poisonous gas.Without chemistry, we wouldn’t have fireworks displays on important days.

Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is why cooked food often tastes different from raw food. Baking is a great example of chemistry. Too much or too little of any ingredient(成分,尤指烹饪) makes a difference to the result of baking, for example, the dough (面团) won’t rise or the cake will be flat.

Chemistry isn’t something that just lives in a lab; it’s something that you meet hundreds of times every day. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the science behind some of the simplest-looking things.

1.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A.Chemistry is easy to see around us.

B.Sometimes chemistry is hard to see around us.

C.How a science teacher does a big experiment.

D.Few things in everyday life contain chemistry.

2.The following actions are about chemistry EXCEPT _____.

A.cleaning teeth with toothpaste

B.washing hair with hair products

C.using soap to get the oil out of clothes

D.washing your face with water

3.The underlined word “poisonous” in Paragraph 3 means _____.

A.harmful           B.healthy           C.fresh             D.pleasant

4.Which one is TRUE according to Paragraph 4?

A.One can’t find chemistry when cooking food.

B.Chemistry plays an important part in food mak-ing.

C.That dough rises is nothing to do with chemistry.

D.A flat cake is the result of too many ingredients.

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.Chemistry Around the House

B.Chemistry in Science

C.Chemistry for Dinner

D.Chemistry in everyday life

The British aren’t having as many children as they used to. One reason is that people are having children much older than before, meaning they have fewer years in which they can have them. After years at university, they need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want. They might then get married, but it’s incredibly expensive to buy a house in the UK.

The above explains why young British people now don’t move out of their parents’ home until they are around 30 years old on average. It is not until they are 30 that they can afford their own home. Increasingly, it is not until that age that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home. It’s only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child.

So a British person manages to get a job, get a home and get married. Why isn’t he or she then having at least two children on average? The main reason is that it is quite expensive to bring up a child in the UK. Why is it expensive? Well, these days, both parents need to work just to pay for their home and living expenses. Because both parents are at work, that means they then need to pay someone to look after their child during the day. Paying for this childcare is nearly always expensive.

The recent financial crisis is making things even harder for families, since unemployment is rising and even fewer people can afford to have children. With so much pressure on families, is it any surprise that the divorce rate is so high?

So what is Britain doing to try and save the British family? The government is trying to make it cheaper to have children. For example, there have been increases in money families can claim from the state each month. Also, there are increasing government subsidies for nursery schools, so that parents do not need to pay so much for child care.

The government is also trying to reduce the number of hours British parents have to work to earn enough money to pay their bills. If parents didn’t have to work so many hours, they’d have more time to spend with their children and wouldn’t need to spend so much on childcare. On average, a Briton works 49 hours a week, which is the most in Europe. The state is now considering introducing laws to encourage companies to improve their employees’ work-life balance. Let’s hope they’re not too late to save the British family. Otherwise, the British will always be too tired, and won’t have enough time and money, to have children.

1.Young British people live in their parents’ home until around 30 because         .

A.They are allowed to get married at 30

B.they can’t find jobs to support themselves

C.they can’t afford a house of their own until then

D.they enjoy family life with their parents

2.The British are now having fewer children than before for all the following reasons EXCEPT that         .

A.they have fewer years to have children

B.they live much shorter lives than before

C.it is more expensive to bring up a child

D.people are losing their jobs because of the recent financial crisis

3.To make it cheaper to have children, the British government is         .

A.bringing down prices

B.raising the salaries of parents

C.reducing family income tax

D.increasing subsidies for families and nursery schools

4.It can be inferred from the text that         .

A.with long work hours, it is hard for British parents to balance life and work

B.more and more families in Britain are breaking up because they are having fewer children

C.among Europeans, British people work hardest and earn the least

D.childcare takes up too much energy and time for the British

5.The underlined word “subsidies” in Paragraph 5 means _________.

A.food paid by the government

B.school buildings for poor students

C.free transportation

D.money from the government to benefit the public
