11、childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment. Childrens relationships with peers (同龄人) strongly influence their success in school, and children with fewer friends are more at risk of dropping out of school, becoming depressed and other problems. Making and K
12、eeping Friends Is More Than Childs Play When 6-year-old Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning, her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie. Though they were only separated by a weekend, the girls ran right into each others arms and hugged, recalls Rachels mother K
13、athryn Willis of Gilbert. It was like a scene from a movie. Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child. Experts agree that friendship is not simply childs play, but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life. A Skill for Life Childhood friendship
14、s serve as a very important training ground for adulthood, says Dr. Robbie Adler-Tapia, psychologist with the Center for Childrens Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Center. Researcher William Hartup states, Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cogniti
15、ve (认知的) development. Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior, but rather, how well a child gets along with other children. The work of Arizona State University professor of developmental psychology Gary Ladd pro
16、ves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids, so is the lack of friends detrimental.Good Friendships Dont Just Happen Experts agree that it is essential for children to establish high-quality friendships. But, researchers warn, these friendships dont necessarily just ha
17、ppen. Often, a good friendship begins with involved parents. Valley psychologist Dr. Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.Bad Company Many parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their childs friends
18、hips. When she was in 1st grade, her supposed best friend began calling her names and threatening to hurt her, says Mindy Miller. My daughter wasnt allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class. It really crushed (压跨) her spirit. I told my daughter she didnt need a friend like that. Il
19、l bend over backwards to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him, Adler-Tapia says. I dont look at it as manipulation (操纵), just positive parental involvement. 4. The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to illustrate that _.A.childhood friendship is of great significance to th
20、eir growth B.a positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problems C.it is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout life D.Rachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of their separation of one weekend 5. The underlined word detrimental
21、 could be replaced by _.A. aggressive B. disappointing C. ridiculous D. harmful 6. We can learn from the passage that high-quality friendship most probably results from_A.social skills and good study habits B. school grades and classroom behaviors C.academic success and social adaptation D.positive
22、parental involvement and social skills 7. From the last paragraph we can conclude that Dr. Robbie Adler-Tapia agrees that_ A.parents should regard making friends as something that just happens B.its wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationships C.parents only need to help thei
23、r children to cope with difficult social situations D.parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they canCTwo new electronic book products (the SoftBook and the PocketBook) have gathered extensive press coverage, including articles in ABC News, the New York Times, Sa
24、n Jose Mercury News, and WIRED. An electronic book (e-book) is a book-length publication in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other electronic devices. Different from a traditional printed book, e-books are born digita
25、l. Being a firm believer in tablet computers for many tasks not involving heavy data entry, I applaud these new designs of the products. In particular, the SoftBook has nice leather binding (封皮), going far beyond the traditional (and boring) industrial design used for other portable computers. The P
26、ocketBook has a more traditional industrial design, typical of leading electronic gadgets (小配件). Unfortunately, neither company mentions their products screen resolution (分辨率). Low-resolution monitors (including all computer screens until now) have poor readability: people read about 25% slower from
27、 computer screens than from printed paper. Scientists believe that only the screen with 300 dpi displays has the same reading speed as print. So unless they have much better screens, electronic books will have a problem. A project called the last book is getting much attention, which aims at produci
28、ng a computer in the form of a folio (对开本): a set of pages using digital ink. Users would move forward in the information by turning pages just as they do in a printed book. Hopefully, the scientists will eventually invent a way to make the digital ink display characters at a high enough resolution
29、to gain the same reading speed as print. Even when e-books gain the same reading speed as print, they will still be a bad idea. Page turning remains a bad interface (界面), even when it can be done more conveniently than by clicking the mouse on a next page button. Another problem is that most e-book
30、publishers do not warn their customers about the real meaning of the digital rights management (DRM) tied to their products. Generally they claim that it is meant to prevent copying of the e-book. However, in many cases it is also possible that it will result in the complete denial of access by the
31、purchaser to the e-book. The e-book is tied to a specific computer or device. In these cases, the DRM will usually let the purchaser move the book a limited number of times after which they cannot use it on any additional devices. If the purchaser upgrades or replaces their devices, they may lose ac
32、cess to their purchase. Some forms of the DRM depend on the existence of online services to authenticate (认证) the purchasers. When the company that provides the service goes out of business or decides to stop providing the service, the purchaser will no longer be able to access the e-book. 8. From t
33、he underlined sentence in Paragraph 3, we know that the writer _.A.has bought the two new products before B.likes the special designs of the new products C.thinks it more convenient to use traditional computers D.doesnt like the traditional design of portable computers9. We can learn from the passag
34、e that _.A.born digital, e-books can only be read on computers B.digital ink has gained the same reading speed as print C.now all the computers are using the screens with 300 dpi displays D.e-books may have slower reading speed compared with printed books 10. Due to the digital rights management, _.
35、A.the e-book should be tied to a specific device B.people should upgrade their devices regularly C.readers are likely to lose access to their purchase D.only purchasers can download the book without limit 11 This passage mainly talks about _.A. the disadvantages of electronic books B. the future of
36、electronic books C. the designs of electronic books D. two new electronic books 任务型阅读 Beggars are often seen sitting under blankets with heads sadly bowed as people pass them by in Cambridges market centerSome ask people passing by for change and some just sit and wait to be given moneyA few use agg
