Whether rich or poor, parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain, according to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans.

For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education.

Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesser-educated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead? The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed. Evans said, "Even a little bit goes a long way. Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater benefit the children get.”

The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children's educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father's occupation or the economic level of the country.

Having books in the home is twice as important as the father's education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in developed country and children born in developing country was just 2 years, less than two-thirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.

1.In the past educators held a point of view that ______ .

A. children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of education

B. children who were born in poor families studied harder than those in rich families

C. parents’ level of education had nothing to do with their children’s levels of education

D. children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of education

2.What does the underlined word “motivating” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Making somebody determined to do something.

B. Helping somebody to finish something

C. Making somebody ready to do something.

D. Preventing somebody from achieving something.

3.Which of the following has the most important effect on the level of education a child will attain?

A. The economic level of the country.

B. The father’s occupation.

C. Education levels of parents.

D. Having books in the home.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. The best investment parents should make.

B. Ways to make children get a higher level of education.

C. Reading books is good for the development of children.

D. Books in home have a great effect on children’s education levels.

Ten years ago I used to be very fit. I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing. Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more. There’s a lot of stress in my job. Perhaps that is why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all. Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me! Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?

1.Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now?

I ALMOST failed out of college and it nearly broke my self-confidence. I had been at the top of my high school class, the total golden child. So when I decided that I wanted to attend Columbia University for graduate school, I was sure it would be close to impossible.

My goals were to prove to myself that my years of academic success in secondary school had not happened by chance and prepare for a career in children’s media. But first I had to get in.

So I enrolled (报名) in a GRE test prep course and threw myself into the class. The first part was pretty scary and by the third, I knew it wasn’t going to get any easier. I reconsidered my plan to take the GRE.

For the first time in my life, I considered how I should go about getting into graduate school. What were my special skills? Would any of them get me into graduate school?

I got a job working on a project sponsored by the dean’s (系主任的) office on campus and enrolled in a class. I had a new plan: Be a top student in the class while working on campus, get letters of recommendation from my boss and my professor, then hope that playing to my strengths like writing interesting papers would be enough for my application.

I worked my butt off (很努力工作) that semester. With finals approaching, I felt confident I would get an “A” in the course, so it was time for step two. I asked my boss to write a letter of recommendation. She immediately agreed. But my professor said no. She did not know me well enough and the semester was not completed. However, I decided I just would not take no for an answer. I asked if she would least write a short note unofficially supporting my application. After some uncomfortable conversations, she finally agreed. In the end, I got in!

I revisit that moment of persistence (执着) again and again. I have leapt into many other opportunities since then. Now I am starting a company born out of my graduate school research in children’s media. Our first product is a mobile game for teen girls that breaks down major life milestones (里程碑) into missions (任务). On its surface, the product helps girls connect with each other. But it also helps them develop the tools to live life without limits.

3.One of the reasons why the professor refused to write a letter of recommendation was that ______.

A. the author had almost failed out of college

B. the author was not a top student in high school

C. the author was not her favorite student in the class

D. the professor did not know enough about the author

4. The writer succeeded in getting into the graduate school because of ______.

A. her “A” grade

B. her strong letters of recommendation

C. her strong determination and her good plan to make herself stand out

D. her interest in children’s media and outstanding skills in writing interesting papers

Movie fans know that their action hero Superman does not really fly．And, in the movie Superman Returns, another visual trick is played on viewers．The man they see flying is not real．He is what is called a virtual actor．The first step in creating this digital actor is to have a real person stand in a room called a light stage．A computer then captures the outlines and shapes of his face and records how they throw off light ．Paul Debevec is with the Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California．

“We can light them with very specially computer-controlled illumination(照明)and take photos of them from seven different viewpoints with high quality digital still cameras．”

Mr．Debevec is part of a team working to create computerized images of people, objects and environments that look and act real．The light stage permits actors to be turned into digital versions of themselves much like the blue creatures in the movie Avatar．The real world could soon be using a similar technology．Computer experts at the Institute are developing a 3-D video teleconferencing system．It would send a video image of a person into a meeting room．That image would be able to work with the people in the room, who would see it in 3-D without special eyeglasses．Paul Debevec says:

“The person who is being transmitted to a remote location can actually look around at the people in the room and everybody in that room knows who they’re looking at ．And that’s such a fundamental part of human communication．”

He believes the business world will begin to use3-D video teleconferencing in the next five years．” It’s also a medium with which young people today are particularly comfortable,” he said．A demonstration of an interaction between an earthquake survivor and students may be possible in a year．In 10 years, we may be able to play 3-D video games without special glasses．

1.Why does the author mention the movies Superman Returns and Avatar in the passage?

A．To compare their different styles．

B．To explain 3-D film-making technology．

C．To attract more readers to watch3-Dfilm．

D．To describe the origin of 3-D film industry．

2.Which of the following shows how a virtual actor is made?

a．a real actor steps inside a light stage．

b．an actor is created into digital version．

c．photos are taken from different aspects．

d．how the actor’s face reflects the light is recorded．

e．a computer makes sure how the actor’s face is filmed．

A．a→e→d→c→

B．a→c→e→d→b

C．a→e→c→f→b

D．e→d→c→a→b

3.What is the author’s attitude towards 3D technology?

A．Cautious．

B．Positive

C．Skeptical

D．Critical．

4.What’s the main idea of the text?

A．3-D goes from movies to real world．

B．3-D film becomes popular worldwide．

C．3-D teleconferencing system comes into being．

D．3-D games without special glasses becomes true．

To highlight his single offering，Morioka often uses clever methods．For example，when selling a book about flowers，he decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book．He also encourages featured authors to hold multiple talks and discussions so they can connect with customers．Morioka says his ultimate goal is for the customers to perience being inside a book，not just a bookstore!

Risky as the idea might seem，things appear to be going well．Morioka says he has sold over 2,100 books since he opened it．Things can only get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors from other countries•
