题目内容

13.There is a popular saying in the English language:Sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me."Well,that is not true.Unkind words,name-calling or even the so-called"the silent tretment"can hurt children as much as being physically hit,sometimes even more so.
A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal(言语的)abuse by other children can harm development in the brain.The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts.Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young dults,aged 18to 25.These young men and women h ad not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents.The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children.Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.
The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of he brain.The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum(胼胝体,胼胝体,脑胼胝体).This was the area that was underdeveloped.
The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing.So,unkind,hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect.The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study.The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear,depression,anger and drug abuse than others in the study.
The researchers published their findings online o the American Journal of Psychiatry's website.
Parents cannot control what other people say to their children,but they can prepare their children.

25.Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning?B
A.To show the power of words.
B.To introduce an opposite view.
C.To prove the author's argument.
D.To show ancient people's wisdom
26.What did the subjects have in common?D
A.They were hurt by unkind words.
B.They performed poorly in imaging tests.
C.They had their brain slightly damaged.
D.They experienced no physical abuse at home.
27.What will be discussed in the next paragraph?C
A.Comments on the findings.
B.Approaches to further studies.
C.Suggestions to parents.
D.Different opinions on the matter.
28.What is the main idea of the passage?C
A.The way we speak maters.
B.Verbal violence should be stopped.
C.Unkind words hurt the brain.
D.Words are worse than sticks and stones.

2.Think about the different ways that people use the wind.You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(来源),as well as one of the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills(风车)began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s,when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries,people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s,people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However,by the 1940s,when electricity was available
to people in almost all areas of the United States,windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s,people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.Then,wind was rediscovered,though it means higher costs.Today,there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

(2).Learn something new.Pick a topic,especially something you know nothing about and learn something aout it.(37)FIt helps to keep it if you have time to make a note of what you learned.
(3).Debate something.If you think you know about something,nothing will prove it like arguing(辩论)it with someone who's smarter than you.(38)D This is easier said than done,but it can provide you with some of the best possible ideas.

(5).Recognize what makes you happy.(40)E Everyone is working towards something,but what makes you happy now?Think of it and try to add more of what made you happy yesterday to today.
