【解析】

W: Why is it that some children perform better than others at school?

M: Obviously, certain children are brighter than others. But it is not that simple. A lot of importance is attached to intelligence measured by tests.

W: The so-called IQ tests?

M: Yes. Basically they are intended to test the ability in language and numbers, so some children are sure to suffer. This is very unfortunate. A child with an average IQ may turn out to be successful when he grows up.

W: What you are saying is that some children have abilities that are not easy to measure.

M: Exactly. If these abilities are not discovered early, they cannot be developed. That’s why there are so many unhappy parents in the world. They are not doing the things they are best at.

W: I see.

M: But at school, only those who are good with words and numbers will probably do well in exams.

W: Right. Is there anything a parent can do to help in this case?

M: Yes. In my opinion, a child should be judged on his personal talents. After all, being happy in life is putting your skills to good use, no matter what they are.

【題目】The iPhone the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一時的風(fēng)尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”—and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer—which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet—used the title in 2008. A lovely bear—popular in the US and UK一that plays music and vide is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(簡裝本) of London’s Independent newspaper was stated last week under the name “i”.

In general, single-letter prefixes(前綴) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.

Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i” Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i”works because its meaning has becomc ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or intcractive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability.” adds Thorne.

Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

Along with“Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted“i”as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. How ever, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.

【1】People use iPlayer to .

A. listen to music

B. make a call

C. watch TV programs online

D. read newspapers

【2】We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for .

A. young readers

B. old readers

C. fashionable women

D. engineers

【3】The underlined word “ambiguous” means “ .”

A. popular

B. uncertain

C. clear

D. unique

【4】The writer suggests that .

A. “i” products are often of high quality

B. iTeddy is a live bear

C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products

D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long

【題目】 Lead has proved to be a useful metal. 【1】 It goes into car batteries and also helps make bright pigments, used to paint walls, metal work and toys.

【2】 In the worst cases it causes comas（昏迷）and death. More often its effects are slow but harmful. Research shows that lead is a threat to little babies, who are most likely to take in dust and paint chips that contain lead. Their brains can be easily harmed. 【3】

The dangers of lead have long been known. American banned it from paint 40 years ago, and by the late 1990s leaded petrol had been stopped gradually in almost all rich countries. But the effects continue to exist. 【4】 The situation is more alarming in the poor world, where the use of lead-based paints is spreading. As people in Asia and Africa become richer, they start to decorate their homes, but the paint they use, even from pots labeled "lead-free" often contains it.

It is neither difficult nor expensive to stop using lead. 【5】 And industrial use is no exception, because the contamination （污染物）spreads and industrial paint inevitably finds its way into the consumer market. Yet only four sub-Saharan African countries have formally placed bans and local factories are often unaware of the harm that lead causes.

A. Yet lead is also a poison.

B. It turns up everywhere.

C. All countries should ban lead in paint.

D. Half a million American children are diagnosed with lead poisoning.

E. There is no excuse for poor countries to repeat the mistake of rich ones.

F. Taking some simple precautions can help protect you and your family from lead exposure.

G. But only years after exposure are the results apparent in lower IQ and learning disabilities.

【題目】As is often the case, parents are very shocked to discover their children have lied to them for the first time. But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.

Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their children’s honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a lie.

The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with almost anything even in the face of the evidence. They say parents suffer from a “truth bias(偏見)” with their own youngsters, but when faced with lies from other people’s children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.

Dr Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Canada, said, “The close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their children’s lies. Parents’ truth bias may result in parents being less suspicious of their children, allowing them to successfully cheat them.”

Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is considered as a key part of cognitive(認(rèn)知的) and social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr Evans and her colleagues filmed 108 children aged between 8 and 16 as they performed a test after being asked not to look at the answers. They were then asked afterwards if they had looked, with 50 truthfully denying looking, 49 lying about looking and 9 admitting to looking.

Videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children than by other people’s children.

【1】What does the underlined word “impair” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Show. B. Develop. C. Recognize. D. Damage.

【2】When lying to their parents, children can’t be easily found because ________.

A. their parents aren’t prepared for the lies

B. their parents can’t notice any of their lies

C. they are very good at hiding their lies

D. they know how to lie to their parents

【3】What does Dr Evans want to find about children’s lying?

A. What makes parents lose trust in their children.

B. What causes children to tell lies to their parents.

C. What makes parents fail to see their children’s lies.

D. What affects children’s relations with their parents.

【4】What can be inferred from Dr Evans’s study in the last two paragraphs?

A. Parents tend to protect their own children.

B. Lying is a part of children’s development.

C. Children aged 8 to 16 are very likely to tell lies.

D. Parents can easily judge lies told by children of others.
