You either have it, or you don’t — a sense of direction, that is.But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works.One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it.Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we 1ose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around, ’’ says Jim Martland, research director of the project.“However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.’’
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction.He makes the following suggestions:
1.If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
2.If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree—something easy to recognize.Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike.When you return, go back along the same route.
3.Simplify the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you.Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where yon are.
Now you will never get lost again!
1.Scientists have the belief that__________.
A.some people have a sense of direction when they are born
B.a sense of direction is developed with ages
C.people have their sense of direction all their life

2.What is true about 7-year-old children according to the passage?

B.They should be allowed indoors if they lack(缺乏)a sense of direction.

D.They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.

A.plant a tree beside the bike so that you can know where the bike is
B.on the map mark where the bike is

B
I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new teacher, and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his abilities.
So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned, for about half an hour, wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a life changing difference to that boy without even knowing it?What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before, when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly, and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon’s the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more, and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
1.We can infer that when Simon’s mother entered the room, the writer felt ______.
A. satisfied B. nervous C. happy D. surprised
2. The following words can be used to describe Simon before he met the writer except ______.
A. unconfident B. lonely C. outgoing D. clever
3.What the teacher said in paragraph 3 is intended to ______.
A. encourage Jeanne to speak louder
B. encourage Simon to work hard
C. ask Jeanne to convince Simon
D. tell the students that Simon was expert on that
4.The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. tell the story of Simon
B. tell teachers how to be kind to students
C. advise the readers to be kind to others
D. share a valuable lesson with readers
