Play is the basic business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great impor??tance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy (婴儿), every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again, and again. Therefore it is important to choose suit??able toys for different stages of a child’s development.

In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited (遗传的) abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.

In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws (七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling (涂鸦) and making things; sand and water play;toys for imaginative and pretending play — the first so??cial games for learning to play and get on with others.

But at the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years old — the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.

Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and val??uable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed — to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.

according to the first passage we know that as a child grows up________.

A. he should be allowed to choose his own toys

B. he should be given the same toys

C. he should be given different toys

D. he should be given fewer and fewer toys

according to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents________.

A. determine his character

B. will not change after the age of three

C. partly determine the standard he is likely to reach

D. to a large extent determine the choice of toys

We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity________.

C. when he is six D. when he is eight

The passage is mainly about________.

A. the importance of pre-school education B. the importance of schooling

     Celebrity (名人) has become one of the most impor-tant representatives of popular culture.
Fans used to be cra-zy about a specific film,but now the public tends to base its consumption
(消费)on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines
have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover be-cause they don't sell
nearly as well as famous faces. As a result,celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful
market potential,moving from advertising for others' prod-ucts to developing their own.
     Celebrity clothing lines aren't a completely new phenome-non,but in the past they were
typically aimed at the ordinary consumers,and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they're
started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands.
The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style.As
celebrities become more and more experienced at the market,they expand their production
scale rapidly,cover-ing almost all the products of daily life.
      However, for every success story, there's a related warning tale of a celebrity who
overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product's origin is,if it fails
to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional
marketing. And once the initial(最初的) attention dies down,consumer m-terest might fade,
loyalty(忠诚)returning to tired-and-true labels.
     Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrass-ment. The pop-cultural circle might
be bigger than ever,but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each mis-step threatens
to reduce a celebrity's shelf life, and thesame newspaper or magazine that once brought him
fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the  ego's
(自我的 ) potential  for  expansion  is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and
public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next fron-tier to be conquered. As
the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might
last only a short time, but fashion-like celebrity-has always been temporary.

A fit and healthy teenage rugby player died 12 hours after taking treatment for acne(粉刺)，an officer，Mary Hassel，said today. She said Shaun Jones，14，died "as a result of complications(并发症)of medical treatment".

Shaun，who was described by his mother as "vain" about his appearance，saw Dr Jones，his family doctor，about spors on his back and shoulders after learning his friends had been given medication to deal with similar problems.
