why is the native language learnt so well
how does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? when we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. a little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. a grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty and inexact command. what accounts for this difference?
despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behavior of the people around him. in the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. a child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, right use of words and right structure. he drinks in all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. there is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.
then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. the child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and facial expressions. here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice and snow in june or scorching heat in january. and what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. again and again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood and fulfilled.
finally, though a child's “ teachers ” may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close and personal. they take great pains to make their lessons easy.
1. compared with adults learning a foreign language, children learn their native language with ease.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
2. adults' knowledge and mental powers hinder their complete mastery of a foreign language.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
3. the reason why children learn their mother tongue so well lies solely in their environment of learning.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
4. plenty of practice in listening during the first years of life partly ensures children's success of learning their mother tongue.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
5. a child learning his native language has the advantage of having private lessons all the year round.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
6. gestures and facial expressions may assist a child in mastering his native language.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
7. so far as language teaching is concerned, the teacher's close personal relationship with the student is more important than the professional language teaching training he has received.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned

the paper chase
“running a house is a lot like running a business.” says stephanie denton, a professional organizer based in cincinnati, ohio, who specializes in both residential and commercial paperwork and record keeping. to get a successful grip on organizing documents, bills, and other materials, denton suggests the following tips:
create a space in which you can always do your paperwork. this is perhaps the most important element of a successful system. if you can’t devote an entire desk to the task, at least invest in a rolling file cart to store active paperwork and a two-drawer file cabinet for family records. store the rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do your work, whether that is the kitchen, office, or family room.
when in doubt, throw it out. the first step to implementing a workable filing system is to eliminate paper you don’t use, don’t need, or that you could easily access again elsewhere. throw out duplicate statements, old catalogs, and all of the coupons, mailings, or offerings you’ll never have an opportunity to use or even read.
set aside two days a month to pay bills. if a monthly due date doesn’t fit into your cycle, call up the creditor and suggest a more convenient date. keep two manila folders at the front of your system for current bills –one to correspond with each bill-paying day –and file all incoming bills. keep a list in the front of each folder of what needs to be paid in case the invoice never arrives or gets misplaced.
think of your filing system not as a rigid tool, but as a living, breathing system that can accommodate your changing needs. a good filing system is both mentally and physically flexible. everyone’s needs are different, says denton, but when devising a filling system, ask yourself: “where would i look for this?” create main headings for your filing system, such as investments, taxes, children, and so forth, and file individual folders under the main headings. never overstuff your files.
1. paragraph 2 ___
2. paragraph 3____
3. paragraph 4 ___
4. paragraph 5____
a. find a place to work on
b. implementing a workable filing system
c. what is a good filing system
d. how to invest in a rolling file cart
e. get rid of unimportant things
f. dealing with bills
5. stephanie denton is expert ___.
6. you can put your file cart anywhere you like, on condition ___.
7. coupons should be thrown away because ___.
8. “mentally flexible” indicates the fact ___.
a. they are useless
b. in paper chase
c. that it is easily reached
d. that different people have different requirements
e. they are not comfortable
f. in investing in coupons

inspecting a used car
the scariest part of buying a used car is not being completely sure of what condition it’s in.a car that’s been in a major accident is always a bigger risk,but sellers often try to hide this information.andrew bleakley, evaluator-inspector, runs a mobile vehicle inspection service in montreal.for about$80 he will perform a full, unbiased inspection on a used vehicle.in his 10 years as a professional inspector, bleakley has seen a lot.he warns, “watch out for dealer demonstration vehicles which are used.not new.they may have been in a collision.”he adds mat it is not uncommon in ontario and quebec especially for unscrupulous sellers to roll back the odometer or to even disengage it.bleakley has special tools to check for this.
blealdey always recommends hiring an independent technician to inspect the condition of a used car before you buy it.the problem is finding someone qualified to do the inspection,which he says generally doesn’t mean just any mechanic,a thorough mechanical inspection includes checking the compression,all major systems,including the engine,electrical and charging systems,transmission and drive line,fluids,brakes,suspension,and steering.essential,too,is all inspection of the car’s body and finally a road test.there are,however a few things everyone can do before buying a used car:
do a visual check of the car.look at the right rear door hinges.if they are very worn.or the door doesn’t close well,the car may have been used as a taxi.holes in the roof could mean the car was used for deliveries.
check for oil 1eaks on the pavement.note that 1eaks are not necessarily a significant
problem—it depends on the cause.
don’t assume that new-looking brake and accelerator pedals mean the car hasn’t been
driven much.resellers know people check these details and call buy new pads for around $6.
copy down the vehicle identification number(vln), a 17-character combination of
numbers and letters,from the vehicle’s dashboard.in ontario,ask the dealer or seller for the used vehicle information package.this gives details of previous owners,any outstanding liens on the car, and the fair market value of the vehicle.
练习:
1. according to the passage,in buying a second-hand vehicle it is most important to know
a)how long it has been used.
b)what color it is.
c)whether it has been in a collision.
d)whether it leaks oil.
2. all of the following are mentioned as tricks which dishonest second-hand car dealers may play upon their customers except
a)to re-paint the car
b)to roll back the odometer.
c)t0 replace the old pedal.
d)t0 disengage the odometer.
3. ‘‘an independent technician” in the first sentence of the second paragraph means
a)a technician who checks a car free of charge.
b)a technician who learned his trade all by himself.
c)a technician who works for a particular car-dealer.
d)a technician who runs his own inspection service.
4.according to bleakley, before buying a used car all the inspection work can
a)be done by a mechanic together with the dealer.
b)only be done by a qualified mechanic.
c)be done by the buyer himself.
d)be done by a qualified mechanic together with the buyer.
5. according to the passage,from which of the following call the buyer obtain reliable
information of the previous owner?

thirsty in karachi
after two weeks in karachi,i’m not sure whether to laugh or to cry.either way,it involves water—or rather the lack of it.
in western europe or the us,you only have to turn on the tap and you’11 see a jet of cold water, ready to drink,cook and bathe in,or wash the car.turn on the tap in karachi and you’ll be lucky to fill a few buckets.until 1947,the city was part of british india,whose engineers built and maintained a modest water supply network for the city’s 500.000 inthabitants.today, karachi is home to around 12 million people.half of them live in slum townships,with 1ittle or no water through the mains.even the “rich’’ half usually have to wait days before anything tickles through their pipes.and the coloured liquid that finally emerges is usually too contaminated to drink.
according to the state.owned karachi water and sewerage board,the city needs more than 2.500 million litres of water each day. the board currently supplies 1,650 million 1itres of which nearly 40 per cent is lost from 1eaks—and theft.leaks are dime a dozen to water utilities the world over, but theft?
karachi’s unlikely water pirates turn out to be ordinary families struggling to get adequate supplies of one of life’s necessities.stealing water takes many forms.the simplest is to buy a suction pump and get it attached to the water pipe that feeds your house from the mains.this should maximize your share of water every time the board switches oil the supply.when the practice started 20 years ago.the pumps would be carefully hidden or disguised as garden ornaments.these days people hardly bother.the pumps are so widespread and water board inspectors so thin on the ground that when officials do confiscate a pump its owner simply buy a replacement.
insisting that people obey the law won’t work because most households have little
alternative but to steal.for its part, the karachi water and sewerage board says it would dearly like to make 1ire easier, but finds itself mired in debt because most residents either won’t pay water charges or can’t afford to.according to the urban resource centre, a karachi-based think tank,of the 1.2 million known consumers of water only 750,000 are billed,of whom just 163.000 actually pay for their supplies.the board makes a perpetual loss,and there is no money to improve the system or even plug the leaks.worse, the board increasingly relies on international 1oans from institutions such as the asian development bank, which only makes its debt worse.
the joke is that the owners of the suction pumps end up with little—if any—extra water. your house is in a line with 20 other households all tapping into one horizontal pipeline.all you can end up doing,given you have pumps of equal strength,is redistribute each other’s entitlement and pay higher electricity bills into the bargain.
back home in london.i’ll remember not to complain about the water meter, or the hosepipe ban.
练习:
1.according to the passage,people in karachi today suffer from a short supply of water because
a)the water supply network built in 1947 has stopped functioning.
b)the city has become much larger than before.
c)old networks can not meet the need of the city’s greatly-increased population.
d)the city is no longer a part of british india.
2.now people in karachi do not hide or disguise the suction pumps they use to steal water because
a)the pumps are no longer wanted as garden ornaments.
b)water supplyboardofficialsl30longerconfiscatethem.
c)it does not cost much money to buy a new one.
d)many households have them and there are very few inspectors around to try to find them.
3.confronted with a severe shortage of water supply, the city’s water and sewerage board
a)tries to improve the water supply system with borrowed money.
b)is not making any effort to improve the situation.
c)urges the consumers to obey the law.
d)charges the consumers more for the water they use.
4.which of the following is true of the owners of the suction pumps, if their neighbors have equally powerful pumps as they do?
a)they get some extra water.
b)they only pay more for electricity.
c)they share what they can get with their neighbors.
d)they replace their pumps with new ones.
5.which of the following is true about the author when he is back home in london?
a)he misses the days he spent in karachi.
b)he forgets the complaints he made in karachi.
c)he is content with the water supply in london.
d)he complains about the water supply in london.

air pollution cloud measured on both sides of pacific
scientists watched closely last spring as a haze of pollution, which had been tracked by satellite as it crossed the pacific ocean,settled over a large swath of north america from calgary, canada,into arizona.now it appears that,for the first time, researchers on both sides of the pacific took detailed measurements of the same plume,a cloud that contained gobi desert dust as well as hydrocarbons from industrial pollution.
heather price,a university of washington doctoral student in chemistry, found that the amount of light reflected by the particles in the air was more than 550 percent greater than normal for that time of year.the mass of asian air contained elevated levels of all pollutants measured.
price said,“but the only thing that came close to being alarming was the level of particulate matter.”
the haze that settled across the western part of the country was widely reported by the news media,and it was measured as far inland as the ski slopes of aspen, colo.
readings on the western side of the pacific came from the aerosol characterization experiments, a project aimed at understanding how particles in the atmosphere affect earth’s climate. additional measurements were taken in the same region at the same time under a project sponsored by the national aeronautics and space administration.
knowing the pollution was approaching washington state,price loaded sensing equipment aboard a rented beechcraft on april 1 4 and flew to neah bay on the state’s northwest coast.taking samples at various levels from 15,000 feet to 20,000 feet in altitude,she monitored
quantities of dust,ozone,carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.“from my copilot’s seat.the dust
was thick enough to see with the naked eye.”price said.
now she’s trying to correlate her findings with those of the two research teams operating on the other side of the pacific,where at one point the pollution plume was larger than japan.the huge size of the cloud showed up clearly in satellite images that gave price plenty of warning the haze was on its way.“you can see these two blobs coming out of the deserts of mongolia and growing over asia,then getting swept out over the ocean and finally setting over north america,”
she said. she intends to continue measuring air samples off the washington coast and will be looking for air masses with evidence of pollution originating somewhere other than asia. “we’d
like to see if we can get a signature of pollution coming from europe because computer models suggest that european sources also can be transported across the pacific,” she said.“however, we
expect that sources in europe will contribute less than asian sources.”
练习:
1.the haze of pollution mentioned in the first paragraph is a cloud
a) of moisture over calgary, canada.
b) developing over pacific ocean.
c) of industrial pollutants.
d) of desert dust and hydrocarbons.
2.one of the prices’s findings (paragraph 2)about the particles of the air is that
a) they contain more pollutants than normal particles.
b) they move much faster in high altitudes than in low altitudes.
c) they are finer and lighter than normal particles.
d) their ability to reflect light is much than stronger.
3.what did price not do during her research?
a) she rented a beechcraft.
b) she used her sensing equipment aboard the beechcrah.
c) she collected samples of pollutants on the northwest coast for further tests.
d) she tested quantities of chemicals in the air.
4.according to the last paragraph,which of the following statements about the two research
teams is true?
a) the two research teams whose findings price correlates hers with are based in asia.
b) price corrects some inaccurate data provided by the two teams operating in asia.
c) price is working with the two research teams in japan.
d) the two teams in asia volunteer to correlate their findings with price’s.
5.which of the statements is closest in meaning to the sentence“…,we expect that sources in
europe will contribute less than asian sources.”?
a) pollution is expected to be less serious in europe than in asia.
b) pollution is studied in more depth in europe than in asia.
c) pollutants coming from europe are not the main source of pollution in north america.
d)pollutants coming from europe are the main source of pollution in north america.
the first four minutes
when do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? during their first four minutes together, according to a book by dr. leonard zunin. in his book, “contact: the first four minutes,” he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: __1__. a lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that.
you may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__2__. if anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.
when we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. in general, he says, “people like people who like themselves.”
on the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. it is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his won needs, fears, and hopes.
hearing such advice, one might say, “but i'm not a friendly, self-confident person. that's not my nature. it would be dishonest for me to at that way.”
__3__. we can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. “it is like getting used to a new car. it may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one.”
but isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? perhaps, but according to dr. zunin, “total honest” is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. there is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. that is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. it is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.
__4__. for a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. dr. zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. if there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.
the author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __5__ that is at least as important as how much we know.
a. in reply, dr. zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
b. much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
c. in his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
d. every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
e. he keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
f. he is eager to make friends with everyone.

“own” your children’ s education
“helping them isn’t about showing your kids how to do the work.it’s about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what they’re learning,”says j.gary knowles,a professor at the ontario institute for studies in education。part of the university of toronto.
rozon has a slew of suggestions for how to get more involved.“get to know the teacher.discuss ways to tailor the assignments to your child’s learning style.spend time in the classroom.ask for outlines of unit studies so you can find supplementary materials at the 1ibrary or through videos.read your child’s textbooks:if you work a few pages ahead,you’ll be able to help them with problems they encounter’’
reading is another must,says rozon.“even after your children can read themselves, hearing somebody else read aloud is important.we nearly always have a book on the go;we read for at least a half hour before bedtime.”
the more engaged a parent is,the more the child benefit,adds bruce arai.“the evidence is clear:parental involvement is one of the most important factors in school success.”arai cites the national longitudinal survey of children and youth.sponsored by human resources development canada(hrdc), which is measuring all aspects of child development.“the hours children spend in class are but one element of their education。”states hrdc,which says parental support,along with teacher support and a positive attitude towards school,all contribute to academic success.
“i see every moment of every day as a learning experience.”says goforth.“the most satisfying part of it is seeing the love of learning continued.i’m not squelching my children’s desire to learn by insisting they learn.thev learn because they want to.”
adds jeanne lambert,mother of carey graham:‘‘make the time,take the timc,guide,lead,and encourage.if nothing else,your children learn you care,and that’s the most important1esson you call give them.”

“running a house is a lot like running a business.” says stephanie denton, a professional organizer based in cincinnati, ohio, who specializes in both residential and commercial paperwork and record keeping. to get a successful grip on organizing documents, bills, and other materials, denton suggests the following tips:
create a space in which you can always do your paperwork. this is perhaps the most important element of a successful system. if you can’t devote an entire desk to the task, at least invest in a rolling file cart to store active paperwork and a two-drawer file cabinet for family records. store the rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do your work, whether that is the kitchen, office, or family room.
when in doubt, throw it out. the first step to implementing a workable filing system is to eliminate paper you don’t use, don’t need, or that you could easily access again elsewhere. throw out duplicate statements, old catalogs, and all of the coupons, mailings, or offerings you’ll never have an opportunity to use or even read.
set aside two days a month to pay bills. if a monthly due date doesn’t fit into your cycle, call up the creditor and suggest a more convenient date. keep two manila folders at the front of your system for current bills –one to correspond with each bill-paying day –and file all incoming bills. keep a list in the front of each folder of what needs to be paid in case the invoice never arrives or gets misplaced.
think of your filing system not as a rigid tool, but as a living, breathing system that can accommodate your changing needs. a good filing system is both mentally and physically flexible. everyone’s needs are different, says denton, but when devising a filling system, ask yourself: “where would i look for this?” create main headings for your filing system, such as investments, taxes, children, and so forth, and file individual folders under the main headings. never overstuff your files.

mother knows the best?
once while being prepped for a television interview, i was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers.i made the point that one reason we’re seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that it’s no longer a given that a man makes more money than his wife.many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.
at that point,one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud
enough for my benefit,“it should be the better parent who stays home.”a lot of guys say things like that.usually it’s code for, “my wife(read:any woman)is the better parent.”
i was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so his declaration made me bristle.it implied that our family’s choice could only have been correct if 1 was a “better” parent than my wife.
i think men shoot themselves in the foot with this kind of thinking.i suppose an argument could have been made that when i began staying home my wife was the “better” parent:she had spent more time with ry,could read him better and calm him more quickly.and given a choice.he’d have picked her over me.but as she was the more employable one.my wife went out to work and i looked after our son.
know what? i caught up.because of the increased time i spent with him.i soon knew ry well,understood what he needed and could look after him more or 1ess as well as my wife could.actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the world’s great secrets:women are good at looking after children because they do it.it’s not because of any innate female aptitude or a mother’s instinct--which i think is mostly learned anyway.it’s because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.
women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing.but over the long term experience is more important.when i got the experience myself, i was good.too.as good? i don’t know.who cares? children are not made of glass.other people ale capable of looking after them besides mom.

some things we know about language
many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so.but some
things we do know.
first,we know that all human beings have a language of some sort.there is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language,no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one mother.furthermore,in historical times,there has never been a race of men without a language.
second,there is no such thing as a primitive language.there are many people whose
cultures are undeveloped,who are,as we say,uncivilized。but the languages they speak are not primitive.in all known 1anguages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.
this has not always been well understood;indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. popular ideas of the 1anguage of the american indians will illustrate.many people have supposed that the indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises.study has proved this to be nonsense.there are,or were,hundreds of american indian languages,and a11 of them rum out to be very complicated and very old. they are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with,but they are no more primitive than english and greek.
a third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate.that is.each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.
finally, we know that language changes.it is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones.this is easy to understand if we look backward in time.change goes on in all aspects of language.grammatical features change as do speech sounds,and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly.vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.
练习:
1.in the second paragraph the author thinks that
a)some backward race doesn’t have a language of its own.
b)some race in history didn’t possess a language of its own.
c)any human race,whether backward or not,has a language.
d)some races on earth call communicate without language.
2.according to the author, people of undeveloped cultures can have languages.
a)complicated
b)uncivilized
c)primitive
d)well-known
3.the author has used american indian languages as all example to show that they are
a)just as old as some well-known languages.
b)just as sophisticated as some well-known languages.
c)more developed than some well-known languages.
d)more complex than some well-known languages.
4.which of the following statements is incorrect?
a)a language is a means of expressing a particular culture.
b)au languages can well express their respective cultures.

florida hit by cold air mass
in january, ,the eastern two.thirds of the united states was at the mercy of a bitterly cold air mass that has endangered florida’s citrus trees,choked northern harbors with ice and left bewildered residents of north carolina’s outer banks digging out of up to a foot of snow.
the ice chill deepened as temperatures fell to the single digits。in most of me。south,with all unfamiliar dip below the freezing mark as far south as parts of interior south florida.temperatures in florida plunged,with west palm beach dropping to a record low of 2 degrees.
“we couldn’t believe how cold it was,”said martin king,who arrived this week in orlando。from england.“we brought shorts,t·shirt,and i had to go out and buy another coat.”
the temperature plunge posed a threat to florida’s us$9.1 billion-a-year citrus crop.more of which is still on the trees.growers were hurrying to harvest as much of the fruit as possible before it was damaged by cold.
“time is of the essenceⅲin getting fruit to the plant,”said tom rogers,a citrus grower who expected to see damage to oranges and grapefruit at that time.
in florida,governor jeb bush signed an emergency order to eliminate the weight limit oil trucks so citrus growers could get as much fruit to market as possible.
casey pace,a spokeswoman for florida citrus mutual,said growers had sprayed trees with sprinklers。which created a layer of ice and helped maintain a temperature near freezing.citrus trees are considered in danger of damage if the temperature drops below minus 2 degrees celsius for four hours or more.snow ranging from a dusting to up to 30 centimeters “blanketed“ the carolinas,tennessee and parts of virginia.
练习:

the first four minutes
when do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? during their first four minutes together, according to a book by dr. leonard zunin. in his book, “contact: the first four minutes,” he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: __1__. a lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that.
you may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__2__. if anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.
when we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. in general, he says, “people like people who like themselves.”
on the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. it is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his won needs, fears, and hopes.
hearing such advice, one might say, “but i'm not a friendly, self-confident person. that's not my nature. it would be dishonest for me to at that way.”
__3__. we can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. “it is like getting used to a new car. it may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one.”
but isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? perhaps, but according to dr. zunin, “total honest” is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. there is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. that is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. it is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.
__4__. for a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. dr. zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. if there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.
the author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __5__ that is at least as important as how much we know.
a. in reply, dr. zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
b. much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
c. in his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
d. every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
e. he keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
f. he is eager to make friends with everyone.

“Own” your Children’ s Education
“Helping them isn’t about showing your kids how to do the work.It’s about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what they’re learning,”says J.Gary Knowles,a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education。part of the University of Toronto.
Rozon has a slew of suggestions for how to get more involved.“Get to know the teacher.Discuss ways to tailor the assignments to your child’s learning style.Spend time in the classroom.Ask for outlines of unit studies so you can find supplementary materials at the 1ibrary or through videos.Read your child’s textbooks:If you work a few pages ahead,you’ll be able to help them with problems they encounter’’
Reading is another must,says Rozon.“Even after your children Can read themselves, hearing somebody else read aloud is important.We nearly always have a book on the go;we read for at least a half hour before bedtime.”
The more engaged a parent is,the more the child benefit,adds Bruce Arai.“The evidence is clear:Parental involvement is one of the most important factors in school success.”Arai cites the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth.sponsored by Human Resources Development Canada(HRDC), which is measuring all aspects of child development.“The hours children spend in class are but one element of their education。”states HRDC,which says parental support,along with teacher support and a positive attitude towards school,all contribute to academic SUCCESS.
“I see every moment of every day as a learning experience.”says Goforth.“The most satisfying part of it is seeing the love of learning continued.I’m not squelching my children’s desire to learn by insisting they learn.Thev learn because they want to.”
Adds Jeanne Lambert,mother of Carey Graham:‘‘Make the time,take the timC,guide,lead,and encourage.If nothing else,your children learn you care,and that’s the most important1esson you call give them.”

The paper Chase
“Running a house is a lot like running a business.” says Stephanie Denton, a professional organizer based in Cincinnati, Ohio, who specializes in both residential and commercial paperwork and record keeping. To get a successful grip on organizing documents, bills, and other materials, Denton suggests the following tips:
Create a space in which you can always do your paperwork. This is perhaps the most important element of a successful system. If you can’t devote an entire desk to the task, at least invest in a rolling file cart to store active paperwork and a two-drawer file cabinet for family records. Store the rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do your work, whether that is the kitchen, office, or family room.
When in doubt, throw it out. The first step to implementing a workable filing system is to eliminate paper you don’t use, don’t need, or that you could easily access again elsewhere. Throw out duplicate statements, old catalogs, and all of the coupons, mailings, or offerings you’ll never have an opportunity to use or even read.
Set aside two days a month to pay bills. If a monthly due date doesn’t fit into your cycle, call up the creditor and suggest a more convenient date. Keep two manila folders at the front of your system for current bills Cone to correspond with each bill-paying day Cand file all incoming bills. Keep a list in the front of each folder of what needs to be paid in case the invoice never arrives or gets misplaced.
Think of your filing system not as a rigid tool, but as a living, breathing system that can accommodate your changing needs. A good filing system is both mentally and physically flexible. Everyone’s needs are different, says Denton, but when devising a filling system, ask yourself: “where would I look for this?” Create main headings for your filing system, such as Investments, Taxes, Children, and so forth, and file individual folders under the main headings. Never overstuff your files.

Mother knows the best?
Once while being prepped for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers.I made the point that one reason we’re seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that it’s no longer a given that a man makes more money than his wife.Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.
At that point,one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud
enough for my benefit,“It should be the better parent who stays home.”A lot of guys say things like that.Usually it’s code for, “My wife(read:any woman)is the better parent.”
I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so his declaration made me bristle.It implied that our family’s choice could only have been correct if 1 was a “better” parent than my wife.
I think men shoot themselves in the foot with this kind of thinking.I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better” parent:She had spent more time with Ry,could read him better and calm him more quickly.And given a choice.he’d have picked her over me.But as she was the more employable one.my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.
Know what? I caught up.Because of the increased time I spent with him.I soon knew Ry well,understood what he needed and could look after him more or 1ess as well as my wife could.Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the world’s great secrets:Women are good at looking after children because they do it.It’s not because of any innate female aptitude or a mother’s instinct--which I think is mostly learned anyway.It’s because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.
Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing.but over the long term experience is more important.When I got the experience myself, I was good.too.As good? I don’t know.Who cares? Children are not made of glass.other people ale capable of looking after them besides Mom.

El Nino (厄尔尼诺现象)
While some forecasting methods had limited SUCCESS predicting the E1 Nino a few months in advance,the Columbia University researchers say their method call predict large E1 Nino events up to two years in advance.That would be good news for governments,farmers and others seeking to plan for the droughts and heavy rainfall that El Nino can produce in various parts of the world.
Using a computer the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and and were then able to anticipate E1 Nino events dating back to1857, using prior sea-surface temperatures.The results were reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature.
The researchers say their method is not perfect, but Bryan C.Weare.a meteorologist at the University of California, Davis,who was not involved in the work,said it“suggests‘E1 Nino is indeed predictable.”
“This will probably convince others to search around more for even better methods.”said Weare.He added that the new method“makes it possible to predict El Nino at 1ong lead times.” Other models also use sea-surface temperatures, but they have not looked as far back because they need other data,which is only available for recent decades,Weare said.
The ability to predict the warming and cooling of the Pacitic is of immense importance’.The 1997 El Nino,for example,caused an estimated$20 billion in damage worldwide,offset by beneficial effects in other areas,said David Anderson,of the European Centre for Medium.Range Weather Forecasts in Reading England.The 1877 El Nino,meanwhile,coincided with a failure of the Indian monsoon and a famine that killed perhaps 40 million in India and China。prompting the development of seasonal forecasting,Anderson said.
When El Nino hit in 199 1 and 1997.200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone.according to a United Nations report.
While predicting smaller E1 Nino events remains tricky.the ability to predict larger ones should be increased to at least a year if the new method is confirmed.
E1 Nino tends to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February.The warming tends to last between 9 and 1 2 months and occurs every two to seven years・
The new forecasting method does not predict any major El Nino events in the next two years, although a weak warming toward the end of this year is possible.

Blasts from the past
1 Volcanoes were more destructive in ancient history.Not because they were bigger, but because the carbon dioxide they released wiped out 1ife with greater ease.
2 Paul Wignall from the University of Leeds was investigating the link between volcanic
eruptions and mass extinctions.Not a11 volcanic eruptions killed off large numbers of animals,but all the mass extinctions over the past 300 million years coincided with huge formations of volcanic rock.To his surprise,the older the massive volcanic eruptions were,the more damage they seemed to do.
3 Wignall calculated the“ killing efficiency ”for these volcanoes by comparing the
proportion .ion of life they killed off with the volume of lava that they produced.He found that size for size,older eruptions were at least 1 0 times as effective at wiping out life as their more recent rivals.
4 The Permian extinction,for example,which happened 250 million years ago,is marked
by floods of volcanic rock in Siberia that cover an area roughly the size of western Europe.Those volcanoes are thought to have pumped out about 10 gigatonnes of carbon as carbon dioxide.The global warming that followed wiped out 80 per cent of all marine genera at the time。And it took 5 million years for the planet to recover.
5 Yet 60 million years ago in the late Palaeocene there was another huge amount of
volcanic activity and global warming but}Io mass extinction.Some animals did disappear but things returned to normal within ten thousands of years,“The most recent ones hardly have an effect at all。” Wignall says.He ignored the extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous,。65 million years ago,because many scientists believe it was primarily caused by the impact of an asteroid. ’
6 Wignall thinks that older volcanoes had more killing power because more recent life
forms were better adapted to dealing with increased levels of C02 .Ocean chemistry may also have played a role.As the supercontinents broke up and exposed more coastline there may have been more weathering of silica rocks.This would have encouraged the growth of phytoplankton in the oceans。increasing me amount of C02 absorbed from the atmosphere.
7 Vincent Courtillot director of the Paris Geophysical Institute in France,says that
Wignall’s idea is provocative.But he says it is incredibly hard to do these sorts of calculations.He points out that the killing power of volcanic eruptions depends on how long they lasted.And it is impossible to tell whether the huge blasts lasted for thousands or millions of years。
8 Courtillot also adds t11at it is difficult to estimate how much 1ava prehistoric volcanoes produced , and that 1ava volume may not necessarily correspond to carbon dioxide or sulphur dioxide emissions.

Inspecting a used car
The scariest part of buying a used car is not being completely sure of what condition it’s in.A car that’s been in a major accident is always a bigger risk,but sellers often try to hide this information.Andrew Bleakley, evaluator-inspector, runs a mobile vehicle inspection service in Montreal.For about$80 he will perform a full, unbiased inspection on a used vehicle.In his 10 years as a professional inspector, Bleakley has seen a lot.He warns, “Watch out for dealer demonstration vehicles which are used.not new.They may have been in a collision.”He adds mat it is not uncommon in Ontario and Quebec especially for unscrupulous sellers to roll back the odometer or to even disengage it.Bleakley has special tools to check for this.
Blealdey always recommends hiring an independent technician to inspect the condition of a used car before you buy it.The problem is finding someone qualified to do the inspection,which he says generally doesn’t mean just any mechanic,A thorough mechanical inspection includes checking the compression,all major systems,including the engine,electrical and charging systems,transmission and drive line,fluids,brakes,suspension,and steering.Essential,too,is all inspection of the car’s body and finally a road test.There are,however a few things everyone can do before buying a used car:
Do a visual check of the car.Look at the right rear door hinges.If they are very worn.Or the door doesn’t close well,the car may have been used as a taxi.Holes in the roof could mean the car was used for deliveries.
Check for oil 1eaks on the pavement.Note that 1eaks are not necessarily a significant
problem―it depends on the cause.
Don’t assume that new-looking brake and accelerator pedals mean the car hasn’t been
driven much.Resellers know people check these details and call buy new Pads for around $6.
Copy down the vehicle identification number(VlN), a 17-character combination of
numbers and letters,from the vehicle’s dashboard.In Ontario,ask the dealer or seller for the Used Vehicle Information Package.this gives details of previous owners,any outstanding liens on the car, and the fair market value of the vehicle.
练习:
1. According to the passage,in buying a second-hand vehicle it is most important to know
A)how long it has been used.
B)what color it is.
C)whether it has been in a collision.
D)whether it leaks oil.
2. All of the following are mentioned as tricks which dishonest second-hand Car dealers may play upon their customers EXCEPT
A)To re-Paint the car
B)To roll back the odometer.
C)T0 replace the old pedal.
D)T0 disengage the odometer.
3. “An independent technician” in the first sentence of the second paragraph means
A)a technician who checks a car free of charge.
B)a technician who learned his trade all by himself.
C)a technician who works for a particular car-dealer.
D)a technician who runs his own inspection service.
4.According to Bleakley, before buying a used Car all the inspection work Can
A)be done by a mechanic together with the dealer.
B)only be done by a qualified mechanic.
C)be done by the buyer himself.
D)be done by a qualified mechanic together with the buyer.
5. According to the passage,from which of the following Call the buyer obtain reliable
information of the previous owner?
A)The vehicle identification number.
B)The unbiased inspector.
C)The second.hand car dealer.

More than 8 hours sleep too much of a good thing
Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night.People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside。more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea#39;’for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires,in which participants indicated how much they slept during the Week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.
KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed.As evidence,he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.
1. Paragraph 2 ___.
2. Paragraph 4___.
3. Paragraph 5___.
4. Paragraph 6___.
A. Keprike’s research tool
B. Dangers of Habitual shortages of sleep
C. Criticism on Kripke’s report
D. A way of overcoming insomnia
E. Sleep problems of long and short sleepers

Ford Abandoned Electric Vehicle
The Ford motor company’s abandonment of electric cars effectively signals the end of the road for the technology,analysts say.
General Motors。and Honda’ceased production of battery.powered cars in 1 999, to focus on fuel cell and hybrid electric gasoline engines, which are more attractive to the consumer.Ford has now announced it will do the same.
Three years ago.the company introduced the Think City two―seater car and a golf cart called the THINK, or Think Neighbor.It hoped to sell 5,000 cars each year and 10,000 carts.But a lack of demand means only about l,000 of the cars have been produced,and less than 1。700 carts have been sold so far in 2002.
“The bottom line is we don’t believe that this is the future of environment transport for the mass market.”Tim Holmes of Ford Europe said on Friday.“We feel we have given electric our best shot”
The Think City has a range of only about 53 miles and up to a six-hour battery recharge time.General Motors’EVI electric vehicle also had a limited range。of about 100 miles.
The very expensive batteries also mean electric cars cost much more than petrol-powered alternatives.An electric Toyot~RAV4 EV vehicle costs over$42,000 in the US, compared with just $17,000 for the petrol version.Toyota and Nissan…are now the only major auto manufacturers to produce electric vehicles.
“There is a feeling that battery electric has been given its chance.Ford now has to move on with its hybrid program“,and that is what we will be judging them on,”Roger Higman,a senior transport campaigner at UK Friends of the Earth,told the Environment News Service.
Hybrid cars introduced by Toyota and Honda in the past few years have sold well.Hybrid engines Offer Greater mileage than petrol―only engines , and the batteries recharge themselves. Ford says it thinks such vehicles will help it meet planned new guidelines“on vehicle emissions” in the U.S.
However, it is not yet clear exactly what those guidelines will permit.In June,General Motors and Daimler Chrysler won a court injunction,delaying by two years Californian legislation requiring car―makers to offer 100,000 zero-emission and other low―emission vehicles in the state by .Car manufacturers hope the legislation will be rewritten to allow for more low--emission,rather than zero―emission,vehicles.
1.What have the Ford motor company.General Motor’s and Honda done concerning electric cars?
A)They have started to produce electric cars.
B)They have done extensive research on electric Cars
C)They have given up producing electric cars.
D)They have produced thousands of electric Cars
2.According to Tim Holmes of Ford Europe,battery-powered cars
A)will be the main transportation vehicles in the future
B)will not be the main transportation vehicles in the future.
C)will be good to the environment in the future
D)will replace petrol―powered vehicles in the future.
3. Which auto manufacturers are still producing electric vehicles?
A)Toyota and Nissan
B)General Motor’s and Honda
C)Ford and Toyota
D)Honda and Toyota
4.According to the eighth paragraph,hybrid cars
A)offer fewer mileage than petrol driven cars
B)run faster than petrol driven cars
C)run more miles than petrol driven cars
D)offer more batteries than petrol driven cars
5.Which of the following is true about the hope of car manufacturers according to the last paragraph?
A)Low-emission cars should be banned.
B)Only zero-emission cars are allowed to run on motorways.
C)The legislation will encourage car makers to produce more electric cars.
D)The legislation will allow more 10w.emission to be produced.
