  “Mummy, I don’t know what to play with.”Steve interrupts his mother, who is talking to a friend, for the fourth time.“You’ve got a room full of toys!”his mother says, impatiently, In fact it is the jumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steve's lack of interest in his dolls, cars and stuffed(packed)animals.Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor, listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother’s desk or following her into the kitchen saying:“Mummy, I am bored.”

  A family therapist(心理医生)explains why children lose interest when they have a whole“toy shop”at home:“According to their brain development, little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once.There is always just one favorite toy for the moment.All the rest is left lying about.”What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys?Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the child’s knowledge.If he/she takes no more notice of a toy, a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away.Be warned though the child will help.Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie, and friends may also small set of shilves in her child’s room holds the toys and books that are the current(at present)favorites.When it seems to her that her daughter is tired from a cupboard in another room.The box of“old”toys goes into the cupboard.When her child says she is“bored”, they also get something from her cupboard-it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn’t seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy.

  Some favorite toys stay out all the time, and there is collection of dolls which sits in the comer, but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something“fresh”to play with.

  Motorola set out a special training program for children last week with the aim of developing children’s business skills and preparing them for a future as entrepreneurs

  Eighty-seven children aged between 12 and 16 from Beijing and Tianjin attended the oneweek training program called “Youth Discovery” directed by Motorola University’s(MU)instructors and marketing specialists.The children learned about dealing with a practical problem-marketing and worked out a marketing plan by themselves.Last week 26 children of Motorola employees in Tianjin completed their training in the MU-Tianjin Learning Center.

  Through the training program, children learnt how to get information through different kinds of sources(源), determine end-user needs, make up messages of value to customers, and communicate using various means and equipment.

  Educators acted only as team “directors”, directing children to discover their own answers.The children gave their solutions(解决办法)to Motorola’s management and their parents on the last day of the program.

  The children, most of whom were primary and middle school students, presented themselves freely.

  The students said that they preferred the open and practical way of learning.

  “Youth Discovery”, started by Motorola’s former president Robert Galvin, designed and carried out by Motorola University, aimed to bring the talents(才能)of young people into full play and encouraged them to discover how their skills can contribute to a team to help it reach an aim.

(1)

The underlined word “entrepreneurs” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.

[  ]

A.

schoolmates

B.

actors

C.

managers

D.

scientists

(2)

What role do the educators play in the program?

[  ]

  Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems.While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves.University of Missouri(MU)researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

  “To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”, said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU.“The radioisotope(放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

  Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical systems(M/NEMS).Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

  “People hear the word ‘nuclear' and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”

  His new idea is not only in the battery's size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体).Kwon's battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

  “The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构)of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

  Together with J.David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery.In the future, they hope to increase the battery's power, shrink its size and try with various other materials.Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

(1)

Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?

[  ]

A.

He teaches chemistry at MU.

B.

He developed a chemical battery.

C.

He is working on a nuclear energy source.

D.

He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

(2)

Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 ________.

[  ]

A.

to show chemical batteries are widely applied.

B.

to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.

C.

to describe a nuclear-powered system.

D.

to introduce various energy sources.

(3)

Liquid semiconductor is used to ________.

[  ]

A.

get rid of the radioactive waste

B.

test the power of nuclear batteries.

C.

decrease the size of nuclear batteries

D.

reduce the damage to lattice structure.

(4)

According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery ________.

[  ]

A.

uses a solid semiconductor

B.

will soon replace the present ones.

C.

could be extremely thin

D.

has passed the final test.

(5)
