The first three winners of the sports event. B. Anyone who takes part in the game C. Players with their parents D. Friends of the school B For decades, research has shown that childrens books not only provide great pleasure to readers, but they can also play an important role in childrens academic (學業(yè)上的) and social success. In 1974, researchers reported that sixth-grade children who had been read to from an early age developed into better readers and valued reading more than did six graders who had not been read to, and they expected to continue reading throughout their lives. Others have determined that the more time children spend reading literature (文學作品) ,the better their reading and writing abilities become. Significant increases have been found in young childrens comprehension and vocabulary skills, their understanding of sentence structure and story structure as a result of their being read to from an early age, either at home or in school. Children who have access to literature and stories in their homes have been found to learn to read more quickly, and have better attitudes toward reading. Teachers who provide time for continuous silent reading, who share books and discuss book authors with children during the school day, positively influence those childrens reading outside school. And the National Assessment of Educational Progress reported that children who frequently read for enjoyment out of school are better readers. Because childrens literature is so valuable to children, it should also be valuable to their teachers. And so its unfortunate that something that can play such an important role in childrens lives is often moved into a less important role in teacher education. This article discusses three important issues about the position of childrens literature in teacher-preparation programs. They are: (1) Respect for childrens literature content in teacher education. (2) The value of childrens literature as a powerful educational tool. (3) Childrens literature as an important literature form. 54. The author mentions the research results in 1974 to show_ A. the development of reading ability in sixth graders B. the ways of teaching children to become better readers C. the importance of early reading in childrens academic growth D. the difference in reading skills between sixth graders and pre-school children 55. We can learn from the text that if children read more books they _ A. will be able to write better B. will have better exam results in school C. will be good at silent reading at school D. will be able to choose suitable books for themselves 56. According to the author, better readers are those who _ w w w .x k b 1.c o mA. find pleasure reading in any kind of books B. perform better in reading tests in school C. are good at finding out structure of stories they read D. get into the habit of reading books for fun outside school 57. The paragraph following the text most probably discusses _ A. the publication of childrens booksB. the types of childrens literature C. the use of childrens literature in teacher education programs D. the role of childrens books in childrens academic development C Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner. Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Svign in Paris. Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities (設(shè)備) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developin g X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military Medal by the French government. In 1918, Irene became her mothers assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later. Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity (輻射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.58. Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal? A. Because she received a degree in mathematics. B. Because she contributed to saving the wounded. C. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic. D. Because she worked as a helper to her mother.59. Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot? A. At the Curie Institute. B. At the University of Paris. C. At a military hospital. D. At the College of Svignf.60. When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born? A. In 1932. B. In 1927. C. In 1897. D. In 1926.61. In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother? A. Irene worked with radioactivity. B. Irene combined family and career. C. Irene won the Nobel Prize once. D. Irene died from leukemia.DBelow is a selection from a popular science book. If blood is red, why are veins (靜脈) blue? Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish colour. Although blood looks red when its outside the body, when its sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin, its more of a dark reddish purple color. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison. Which works harder, your heart or your brain? Which works harder depends on whether you are busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But, in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when youre sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it. Why do teeth fall out, and why dont they grow back in grown-ups? Baby (or milk) teeth do not last long; they fall out to make room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, youre done. When theyre gone, theyre gone. This is because nature figures youre set for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off. Do old people shrink as they age? Yes and no. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isnt because theyre shrinking all over. They simply lose height as their spine(脊柱) becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity. Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3-4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people dont really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, its because the spine has shortened a little or, more often, become more bent and curved. Why does spinning（旋轉(zhuǎn)） make you dizzy (眩暈的)? Because your brain gets confused between what youre seeing and what youre feeling. The brain senses that youre spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable. But when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks youre moving while youre not! Where do feelings and emotions come from? Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this brain area from mice to dogs, cats, and human
