    Dyslexia is a problem that restricts the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves areas of the brain that process language. Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them with early help. John Gabrieli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools in the Boston area.

    They studied in the schools with kindergartens．And for all the children joining in the study, they give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read. So far, fifty of them have been examined in a scanner, a special machine, to show brain activity. Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems, while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems. And with reading problems, early identification is important. When it comes to helping children overcome reading difficulties, the younger the child, the more effective they are.

    Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers，the less treatment can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science have textbooks.

    While the children are given tasks related to reading, the brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become active while the children do the work. The scientists say they are pleased with early results from the study, but have a long way to go.

    1. Dyslexia affects the part of brain concerning ________.

    A. eyesight B. intelligence

    C. language D. emotion

    2. Dyslexia problems are more likely to be identified through ________.

    A. speech contests

    B. reading efficiency

    C. listening comprehension

    D. brain scans

    3.According to the passage, which of the followings has the best time to overcome reading difficulties?

    A. Tom, a boy in the kindergarten.

    B. Kate, a high school leaver.

    C. Jane, a primary school student.

    D. Steve, a man in his thirties.

    4. What is the passage mainly about?

    A. An effective way to identity Dyslexia at an early stage.

    B. A learning disorder involving one’s intelligence.

    C. Dyslexia — a problem affecting one’s reading and writing.

    D. A possible solution to the problems related to Dyslexia.

    The London Underground (The Tube）

    The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners). This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly.

    It’s most necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd (荒谬的) price of £ 4.80 (Zone 1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster card, a single fare is £ 2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.

    On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.

    Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00.

    The Bus System

    Outside the center of London, Tube stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.

    Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs £ 1.50 if using only buses, the fare is capped at £ 4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless users.

    River Services

    There are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds.

    National Rail

    Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HSI.

    1.When taking the London Underground, ________.

    A. you should buy tickets with cash

    B. you can save more money with a single ticket

    C. you can go to any place in London quickly

    D. you are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days

    2.If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass ________.

    A. London BridgeB. Stratford

    C. Canary WharfD. Tower Hill

    3.To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use ________.

    A. The London UndergroundB. The Bus System

    C. The DLR and the TramD. National Rail
