Two-year-old babies care about 2 others see them. They even change (改变) their acts when others are around them, according to 3 from Emory University in the US.

Scientists did test on 144 babies between the ages of 14 to 24 months. They 4 the babies a robot with two buttons( 按钮) on it. When the babies touched the buttons, the scientists would act 5 . When the babies touched the first button, the scientists would act happily. But when the babies touched the second button, the scientists would be 6 .

They found that when there were no adults ( ) around, children would touch the second button more often. But when there were adult 7 , they would touch the first button more often.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。 According to a recent newspaper article, girls do better than boys at every level of education. So it is hardly surprising that boys are now far more likely(可能的) than girls to go to universities.
"Eclipsed" (黯然失色)
Mary Curnock Cook, a leader of the University, is so worried about the future of boys that she wants to see a national effort to solve the problem. If this difference goes on growing, girls born this year will be 75% more likely to go to university than boys.
So what is at the root of this gap(差距)? Are there changes in the nature of universities which have led to the dominance of girls on campus? Are girls simply better at schoolwork these days, and boys less interested?
By the time teenagers get to their high school, the number of girls is bigger. So before they sit a single exam, there are probably more girls than boys who are likely to go to university.
"Waste of time?"
The average grade for a girl is C+ compared to C for a boy at A-level examinations. But the differences between boys and girls start much earlier on.
According to a University of Bristol study, boys are nearly twice as likely as girls to have fallen behind by the time they start school. Primary schools often have more female teachers, and mothers helping out.
According to the study, girls and boys often have different attitudes towards schoolwork. The report says: "Boys are more likely than girls to regard school as a waste of time." What's more, boys tend(倾向) to spend over one hour less per week on homework than girls. They are more likely to play computer games and less likely to read outside of school.
"There are a lot of boys thinking they can get away with the least work and wanting to spend their time doing other 'more interesting things'," says Roger Leighton, the former head teacher of Sydney Russell School. "Girls, on the other hand, tend to understand the need to work hard earlier on --- they take a longer view."
(1)Mary Curnock Cook wants to __________.
A.find out the cause for the difference
B.find out the number of girls on campus
C.see boys work harder than they used to
D.see people work together on the problem
(2)The underlined word "dominance" in Paragraph 4 probably refer to "_________".

After a long week, Sunday is the perfect day to sit down with family, relax and enjoy a special dinner: Sunday roast(周日大餐). 1

British people have eaten Sunday roasts for centuries. In the old days, people had to go church on Sundays. After that, people would be hungry. 2

So what are these tasty dishes? Every Sunday dinner has roast meat, usually chicken or beef , roast potatoes, vegetables and Yorkshire pudding.3

What if you don't have time to make the traditional dinner? Don't worry. In Britain, there are special restaurants, called carveries. 4 The name "carvery" comes from the act of cutting the meat into slices, before putting them on a plate.

5 Parents and children will sit down and tell each other about their week at work or school.

With many traditions fading(逐渐消失), traditional Sunday dinners are as strong as ever. And I have a feeling that this traditional dinner will be on British tables all the time.

A. This is a tradition for many British people on Sundays.

B. This is a tradition for few British people on Sundays.

C. This is a pudding made with eggs, milk and flour.

D. Besides the tasty food, this meal is also a great time for family.

E. So family would get together to eat a big meal.

F. There you can have a Sunday roast.
