Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.
One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.
The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.
Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.
Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere (干涉) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression (消沉).
The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.
These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.

The band started about two years ago. Jack, who was in eighth grade at the time, decided to make a homemade guitar. After some hard work, he ended up building it from a cereal box, a big ruler and some little sticks. After Jack showed his guitar to his friend Ollie, Ollie had the idea to make a band using other homemade instruments as a way to suggest people recycle old things. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the rubbish box,” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually recycle old things.”
Ollie, 15, plays the drums made from rubbish cans. Evan, 14, plays the guitar; Harrison, 15, plays the horns and the violin; and Austin, 16, plays the keyboard. They make up the band The Garbage-Men and play at local parties around. They wand to help people get interested in recycling old things. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really easy for people to understand,” Jack says.

All the photos and ads in La Derniere Heure’s (DH) special edition(版) were given a three-dimensional effect(3D效果), but the text remained the same.
DH’s editor said there were no further 3D plans because of the costs.
Reviewers in France spoke highly of the paper, but they said the overall result was “far from perfect”.
Editor Hubert Leclercq said it took two months to get ready for the special edition, which had a higher than normal print run of 115,000 copies for the stores selling newspapers.
“We hear about 3D cinema, television and video games, so we took up the challenge,” Mr. Leclercq told the AFP news agency.
According to PC World’s French edition, readers could get the best results by holding the paper 50cm from the eyes in a well-lit area.
“It takes a few minutes to get used to pictures in 3D,” it said, noting the limited quality of the viewing lenses(镜片).
It’s said some of the images - especially the ads - had a good 3D effect, but that other pictures were not clear or difficult to look at.
小题1:The Europe’s first 3D newspaper was from .
A. Belgium B. France C. Germany

However, as things stand today, the fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly—almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage later on.
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water, one of the first step is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道), from there it returns to sea or runs into underground (地下)places.
But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.
小题1: The earth is thirsty for water because_______ .
A.man has not enough food to eat. |
B.we haven’t had enough fresh water |
C.only 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. |
D.more water is sent into the sewer system |
A.much and salt | B.fresh and enough |
C.dear and useful | D.clean and helpful |
(a) make good use of the sea water.
(b) carry salt water into lakes and rivers.
(c) try to save the fresh water as much as possible
(d) do our best to use the water again.
(e) drink and use all the water on the earth’s surface
A.(c)and(e) | B.(a) and (b) |
C.(a), (c)and(d) | D.(b) , (d) and(e) |
A.remove the salt from the sea water |
B.make the water in the cities clean. |
C.take the water from underground |
D.make the need for the water smaller. |
A.The Importance of Water | B.The World’s Water Problem |

How many animals are killed for food? According to Farm Animal Rights Movement, about 10 billion land animals are killed every year for food in the United States, and about 58 billion are killed around the world. What’s more, this does not even include wild animals.
How many animals are killed for experiments? From 17 million to 100 million! The numbers are difficult to tell because most animals used in experiments are not reported.
How many animals are killed for fur? Every year, over 40 million animals are killed for fur around the world. About 30 million animals are raised on fur farms and killed, about 10 million wild animals are killed for fur, and this does not include sea animals and those that are injured and die later.
How many animals are killed by hunters? According to In Defense of Animals, hunters kill the most animals every year. Over 200 million animals are killed by hunters in the United States every year. This does not include animals that are injured and die later and those who die after their mothers are killed.
If these numbers are shocking enough for you and you want to do something to help, act out at this very moment. Refuse wild animals on dinner tables, say no to fur coats and try your best to protect the environment. Also, don’t forget to tell the numbers above to the people around you.

It seems that not everyone is afraid of the same thing. What makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.
What is fear?
Fear is a feeling that everyone has — it’s programmed into all of us — and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous. The baby cries, and their mom comes over to comfort him or her, helping the baby feel safe and OK again.
Real vs. Pretend
The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older, they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal. So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches, he can tell himself, “Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.”
The same goes for the dark. A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out. What’s under my bed? Is that a thief I hear? With the help of a parent, kids can get more comfortable in the dark. Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.
小题1:Which of the following can’t help a kid fight the fear of dark?
A.Using imaginations to think of witches. |
B.Their parents coming over to comfort them. |
C.Using a nightlight to see there’s nothing under the bed. |
D.Shining a flashlight to see there’s nothing under the bed. |
A.Ugly. | B.Usual. |
C.Unreal. | D.Lovely |
A.Fourteen scary things kids list. |
B.People are afraid of different things. |
C.The biggest fear for kids are always the same. |
D.The things frighten people are the same as the survey. |
A.Having a sense of fear is not a bad thing. |
B.Nothing can help kids to get over a fear. |
C.Fear is something we get when we are older. |
D.Not all people can react to dangerous things. |
