  Stacy had recently moved from New York City to Stone Brook, Connecticut.It was hard for her to make new friends but she finally had three when she joined the Babysitters Clubs to take care of little children whose parents were busy.Claudia, Kristy, and Mary were in her class at school and also the other members of the club.The girls met at five o’clock on Friday and waited for the phone to ring.So far they had been busy, in spite of the fact that they couldn’t stay out late and were under 13.

  Suddenly, the girls’ world was invaded by a second group calling themselves the Babysitters Agency.They were older and the group also included a few boys.The Babysitter Club tried to think of ways to compete with the older group.They could clean work for less money, however, they knew it would be difficult to compete.The shock was even greater than they had expected when most of their best customers started to call the new group.They seemed to get only a few jobs.

  To try a new policy, Kristy recruited a few older kids who told the club they didn’t want to share their money with the other group.The club found out only too quickly that these older girls joined only as spies and didn’t show up for their job assignments.Thus more parents were unhappy with the club.

  Finally the girls realized that the kids in the other group were not good babysitters.They watched television, talked on the phone and invited boyfriends to the house where they were sitting.When the children of the family started to complain and a near accident almost occurred the club went to the parents to tell them what was happening.

阅读理解

  Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops.New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize.

  Kristy Vanmarle, professor of the University of Missouri, has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown, infants(婴儿)are able to quantify substances(物质)-like sand or water-as early as 10 months.As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough, infants will choose the larger amount, especially when it comes to food.

  With the assistance of her team researchers, Vanmarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups:one containing a small amount of food, and one containing a larger amount.Consistently, the babies chose the larger amount.

  “Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see; however, infants don't seem to count things like water or sand,” Vanmarle said.“What we're saying is that they can quantify substances; it's just much harder.The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories.They decide which amount is larger, and they almost always select the larger one.”

  “This information further refutes(驳斥)the long-held idea that babies know nothing of the world,” Vanmarle said.

  “Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures, we've discovered a lot of early abilities.I think for parents, it should be exciting to know that there's somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world, and that knowledge is guiding their development,” Vanmarle said.

  In the future, Vanmarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child's progress in math-related skills, although programs marketed to increase those abilities, such as “Baby Einstein,” still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study.

(1)

The quantifying ability refers to the ability to ________

[  ]

A.

choose between different substances

B.

describe the quantity of something

C.

get much knowledge of the world

D.

obtain math-related skills

(2)

What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?

[  ]

A.

The process of doing research.

B.

The final choice of infants.

C.

The scientific findings.

D.

The observation of infants' behavior.

(3)

Babies choose the larger amount of food ________

[  ]

A.

through their natural abilities

B.

with the help of parents

C.

on personal preference

D.

by saying numbers

(4)

We can learn from the text that ________

[  ]

A.

some parents don't care about their kids

B.

scholars disagree on baby-training programs

C.

little research has been done on infants

D.

people used to think the world is known to babies

(5)

[  ]
