19、 those words to before or at least havent shared those words with for a long time.” Now that doesnt sound like a very tough assignment, 37 you realize that most of the students were over 35 and were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho”.In the next class, one of the men raised his hand to 3
20、8 his homework. He began by saying, “Dennis, I was quite angry at first. Who were you to tell me to do something that 39 .

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.
30、For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AIf you want to help children develop language and speech skills, UCLA researchers say, listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to
31、them.The effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is about six times as great as the effect of adult speech input alone, the researchers found. “Adults speaking to children helps language develop, but what matters much more is the interaction，” said the study s lead author, Frederick Zi
32、mmerman, an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. The researchers also found that TV viewing didn t have much of an effect positively or negatively as long as it wasn t displacing conversations between an adult and a child.The UCLA study inc
33、luded 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that, in an average day, children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adultchild conversations a day.Assessed separatel
34、y, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. When looked at alone, TV was negatively associated with language development. But, when the three fa
35、ctors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is，” Zimmerman said. “Although it s mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback
36、 and correct mistakes. Theyll also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they re doing, such as， Im putting on your pajamas now. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment，” she adde
37、d. “If parents can carve out some conversation time maybe at bath time or at dinner time that s a wonderful thing.”56The researchers also found that TV viewing _.A could have a positive effect on a childs language developmentBhad a little effect on a child s language developmentCaffected a childs la

40、parent child conversation can be carried out at any proper timeDparents should leave a child talking alone59What would be the best title for the passage?ATalk with kids, not at themBLet your children voice their own opinionsCHow to develop a child s language abilityDThe importance of early child lan

42、 up. simply shining a bright light into your ear canal.Up to one in four Britons suffer from seasonal affective disorder, with seven per cent of the population having full-blown SAD. It is caused by the brain not receiving enough daylight which is needed to trigger serotonin（血清素）, a hormone that reg
43、ulates mood. Symptoms range from mild lethargy （乏力）to depression and insomnia, but a cure might be in sight.Two clinical trials, run by Valkee - who make a device that can shine light into your ear - and the University of Oulu in Finland, have found that carefully targeted light can help prevent the
44、 condition.Juuso Nissil, Valkees co-founder and chief scientist said: “We presented earlier that the human brain is sensitive to light”.“These two clinical trials demonstrate that channeling bright light via ear canal into brains photosensitive areas effectively prevents and treats seasonal affectiv
45、e disorder.”The University of Oulu reported that in their first study, 92 per cent of the patients with seasonal affective disorder achieved full remission after a month of daily eight-to-12 minute doses of light from the Valkee.Time Takala, chief physician at the Oulu Deaconess Institute said: “The
46、se two trials show that bright light channeled into the brain via ear canal is an important future method to treat seasonal affective disorder.”Valkee launched its bright light headset in August 2010. It is classed as a medical device under EU regulations.The device channels bright light direct to t

51、he treatment via the earphoneCFocus on what you do best. This age-old strategy has worked well for Real Networks, Microsofts main competitor in multimedia software for the Internet. Now, the smaller Seattle-based firm is trying a novel way to contain the software giant. On October 29th, it released
52、the underlying recipe, or source-code, of its RealPlayer software and will soon do the same for its other programs-giving away a big chunk of its intellectual property（知识产权）.This may sound like a desperate echo of 1998, when Netscape, struggling in Microsofts chokehold, published the source-code of
53、its web browser. Yet Real Networks is not playing defence. It is trying to encourage the creation of a common multimedia software infrastructure for every kind of file format and device, thus thwarting （阻碍）Microsofts ambitions in this promising market.The firm hopes that others in the industry (volu
54、nteer programmers, media firms and hardware makers) will take the code, called Helix DNA, improve it and make it run on new devices, such as mobile phones and home stereos, turning Real Networks software into an industry standard. Clever licensing terms are supposed to ensure that this standard does
55、 not splinter and （分裂）that the firm still makes money.Individual developers, universities and other non-profit organisations can modify the software as they please, and even redistribute it for free, so long as they also publish the source-code for their changes. This is a sort of payment in kind, f
56、or Real Networks is then allowed to use these contributions. Firms, on the other hand, must pay royalty fees if they distribute more than 1m copies of the code. They also have to make sure that their software works with other Helix DNA products. The softwares development community already has 2,000
57、members. And several hardware makers back the effort. But there are risks. Afraid of piracy, media groups are suspicious of anything that might be related to hackers. The self-created competition could also hurt Real Networks if customers decide its commercial products, which will be based on the op
58、en source-code but with extra features, are not worth paying extra for.Real Networks move is another sign that the software industry is going hybrid. Mixing elements of proprietary software, where the source-code is tightly controlled, with open-source programs enables firms to expand a market, harv
59、est the ideas of others and, they hope, still make money. Even Microsoft is edging this way: it recently announced that partners can now look at-but not modify or re-use-the source-code for Passport, its controversial digital-identity service.66What is the Real Networks new way of stopping Microsoft
60、?ABy selling its intellectual property.BBy doing what it is good at.CBy releasing the free source-code.DBy severe competition with Microsoft.67Which of the following can be a disadvantage of releasing the source-code?AIt can bring about self-created competition.BIt can defeat Microsofts ambitions in

Another hijacked plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania when passengers rebelled. Close to three
73、 thousand people died that day. Next year will be a big anniversary, ten years since the day Americans call 9-11. But this September eleventh comes at an uneasy time.

74、attention centered on a Christian minister(基督教事工) with a small following in the state of Florida.Reverend Terry Jones said he would mark the 9-11 anniversary by burning copies of the Quran(可兰经). He said he wanted to send a message to Islamic extremists. He said, We are not hateful toward Muslims. We
75、 are not aiming this at Muslims, we are aiming this at Sharia law(伊斯兰教教法).Political and religious leaders around the world had condemned him. The plan even led the State Department to warn American travelers to avoid places where protests(抗议) might take place.President Obama said burning Qurans coul
76、d endanger American troops and invite more extremism. Defense Secretary Robert Gates called Mr. Jones on Thursday to urge him to reconsider.Administration officials called the idea of burning Qurans un-American. But they also agreed that it would be within constitutional rights, like protesters who
