Some kids can't sit still for long. They have a hard time paying attention to just one thing. They're easily distracted(分神).They can get very impatient. They hate standing in line or waiting for their turn in a game or activity. They get bored pretty fast. They may also be impulsive—saying the first thing that comes to mind or interrupting someone else who's talking.?

For certain kids, this problem is so severe(严重) that doctors have a name for it: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Perhaps as many as 1 out of every 20 kids under the age of 18 have characteristics of ADHD. Often, these kids have trouble getting through school and face other difficulties later in life.?

Rizzo started developing the Virtual Classroom in 1999.He wanted to see if he could use it as a tool for testing and treating kids who have attention disorders.?

To diagnose(诊断) ADHD, doctors typically test patients by giving them tasks that require attention. As part of one classic test, you watch letters flashed on a computer screen. Every time you see the letter “A” followed by the letter “X”,you have to press the space bar. If you're paying close attention, you'll register all the times this combination occurs. If not, you'll miss some.?

The Virtual Classroom makes these tests more efficient, Rizzo says. In one experiment, he gave a group of kids the classic “A-X” test. Instead of looking at a computer screen in a doctor's office, though, the kids wore headsets that made it look like they were taking the test in a classroom.?

“Basically what we found,”Rizzo says,“is that, in 20 minutes of testing with virtual reality,?we? replicated(复制) a finding that usually requires a couple hours of standard testing with computer screens in the psychologist's office.”?

The first paragraph mainly tells us _______.?

A. how to find a patient with ADHD?

B. the behavior of some kids with ADHD?

C. kids with ADHD cannot sit still for a long time?

D. kids with ADHD are easily distracted

Perhaps as many as _______ kids have characteristics of ADHD. ?

A. one out of every twenty kids

B. five percent kids less than 18 years old?

C. one out of twenty kids at the age of 18

D. five percent kids more than age of 18

In the experiment, patients need to press the space bar, when _______.

A. see letters A following X  B. first see A then see B?

C. see letter X and A     D. see letters A followed by X

It is reported, some needy students receive financial support of some kind people but never  express our thanks．Personally, I think they are wrong．

Though the helpers didn’t expect any reward in return,  but it’s necessary and good manner to say “thank you”．Besides, it is a basic social skill express ourselves in modern society．Maybe some of them do feel thankfully．It is only because they are afraid of being looked down upon which they remain silent．But I just want to say that being poor for a moment doesn’t mean you will be poor forever．

 

When it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.

The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:

The girls must write reports about what they’ve seen on their trips, even if it’s not required by their school.

Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.

Malia and Sasha have to play two sports: one they choose and one selected by their mother.

Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.

The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.

While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They’re not little princess. It’s just basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”

Michelle also mentions another set of rules:

The girls must do their chores(家务), though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.

They must play a team sport, because it’s about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.

…

It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt. 

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out. 

Though the belief in the merit (优点) of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.

1.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because ________.

A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.

B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in

C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths

D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease

2.Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing?

A. Afraid.       B. Curious.          C. Approving.          D. Uninterested.

3.How does the passage mainly develop?

A. By providing examples.                B. By making comparisons (比较).

C. By following the order of time.      D. By following the order of importance.

4.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

A. To stress the role of dirt.                

B. To introduce the history of dirt.

C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.      

D. To present the change of views on dirt.
