Today we begin a series of programs about learning disabilities.These are disorders in the ways that people understand or use language.They can affect the ability to listen or think, or to speak or to read and write.They can also affect the ability to do mathematics. Researchers believe that learning disabilities are caused by differences in the way that the brain works with information. They say children with learning disabilities are not unintelligent or do not want to work.

Researchers say that as many as one out of every five people in the United States has some  kind of learning disability.Almost three-million children in the United States receive some kind of help in school for a learning disability.

  Expels look for a difference between how well a child does in school and the level of intelligence or ability of the child.But there is no one sign of a disorder.A few signs of learning disability include not connecting letters with their sounds or not understanding what is read.A person with a learning disability may not be able to understand a funny story.They may not follow directions.They may not read numbers correctly or know how to start a task.  One  person may have trouble understanding mathematics.Another may have difficulty understanding what people are saying.Still another may not be able to express ideas in writing.These different kinds of learning disabilities are known by different names.For example,a person who has difficulty reading may have dyslexia(诵读困难症).

Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured.   Teachers and parents can help young people with learning disabilities to learn successfully.

A. Different people have different kinds of learning disabilities.

B. Their brains just process information differently than other people.

C. People with learning disabilities have difficulty in communicating with others

D. But people who have them can be helped.

E. Why does a person have a learning disability.

F. A person with a learning disability has unusual difficulty in developing these skills.

G. How can you tell if someone has a learning disability?

    Have you ever wondered why birds sing?   1   After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.

    Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.

     2   Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. Do you know what a "territory" is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(声称) as its won. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout.  3   If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. But he expects an outsider almost all the time, especially at nesting(筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird' s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.

    Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.

     5   Most of it has to do with attracting males and setting up territories.

A. A bird does the same thing.

B. Maybe you thought that they were just happy.

C. Shouting loudly is just like a bird's screaming.

D. You can see that birds have a language all their own.

E. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.

F. However they sing most of the time for a very different reason.

G. So, just like human beings, birds sing for almost the same reasons.

 

It is natural that children are curious (好奇的) about the world around them. For example, they want to know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty.

  As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. They become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky. Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career (生涯、职业) in science.

  Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world.Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e. g. physics, chemistry .

  These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world.For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too . So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.

  Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask , “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.

  We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.
