difficulty in walking. But that hasn't stopped the nine-year-old from becoming a prodigy(天才).
Until he was three-and-a-half years old, Siva could not even crawl. Wanting the best treatment
for their son, Siva's parents moved with him from India to Australia and later to the USA.
In the USA, his parents enrolled(使入学)him in the second grade based on his age. But his teachers
soon realized they had a genius. Siva was then tested for the eighth grade, but it was soon found
out that he was actually qualified for college courses. As one advanced course was not enough,
the brilliant boy is now taking two courses from Stanford University. Due to the treatment he received,
Siva's physical condition has improved as well.
But none of this "just happened". It was his parents' understanding and correct guidance, and
the loving care of his grandparents that contributed to the growth of the genius. Siva's highly educated
and hardworking family has brought him up on the basis of certain principles.
The family believes that once a strong foundation is built for the child in English and mathematics, the
child is equipped to master any other subject, law, history, or engineering. It is equally important to
recognize the strengths of a child rather than forcing the child to do things that he may not want to do.
Siva's parents helped. Siva focus his energies on his strength, which is mathematics. At the same
time they took care to see that he had friends to play with and enjoyed a few recreational activities.
The only activity that's restricted for Siva is viewing television. Siva watches TV only for 30 minutes
a day and video games are a bonus for special occasions.
Thanks to his mother who is a singer, Siva has also learned music and even won the first and
second prize at two competitions. In sports, he likes to swim. He began to learn swimming to
strengthen his muscles, and by the age of eight he was able to swim a kilometer in both the backstroke
and the freestyle.
B. They wanted their son to receive the best treatment.
C. They weren't used to life in India or Australia.
D. They wanted their son to go to Stanford University.
B. Siva's physical condition improved
C. Siva was tested for the eighth grade
D. Siva became a genius despite his disability
B. it is important to recognize the strengths of a child
C. a child must learn English rather than law or history
D. forcing a child to do things is also quite important
B. He has no friends to play with.
C. He is not allowed to play video games.
D. He learned swimming from his mother.
B. certain principles to bring up a child
C. the special ways to train a genius
D. the influence of parents on their child
A small dog should be belly-up after eating a handful M＆M’s, at least according to conventional wisdom. But watching “Moose”, a friend’s five-pound Chihuahua, race around a living room after his sweet snack makes one wonder: Is chocolate truly poisonous to dogs?
Dogs and humans have similar tastes. But unlike humans, our companions experience dangerous effects from eating chocolate — it can poison them and in some cases is fatal. Chocolate’s danger to dogs depends on its quality.
Chocolate is processed from the bitter seeds of the cocoa tree, which contain a family of compounds known as methylxanthines（一种衍生物）. This class of substances includes caffeine and the related chemical theobromine(可可碱). Chocolate contains a significant amount of theobromine and smaller amounts of caffeine. These chemicals can cause a dog’s heart to race up to twice its normal rate, and some dogs may run around as if “they drank a gallon of espresso,” according to Hackett.
Dogs are capable of handling some chocolate, but it depends on the animal’s weight and the type of chocolate it eats. Unsweetened baking chocolate contains more than six times as much theobromine as milk chocolate, although amounts vary between cocoa beans as well as different brands of chocolate. Less than four ounces of milk chocolate is potentially fatal for Moose and other small dogs.
Around every confection-centered holiday — Valentine’s Day, Easter and Christmas — at least three or four dogs are hospitalized overnight in the animal medical center at Colorado State. But in 16 years, Hackett has seen just one dog die from chocolate poisoning, and he suspects it may have had an underlying disease that made it more exposed to chocolate’s heart-racing effect.
1. The underlined expression “belly-up” probably means______.
A. dead B. poisonous C. running around D. having a headache
2. All of the following are true EXCEPT______.
A. chocolate’s danger to dogs depends on its quantity and quality
B. people buy lots of chocolate around Valentine’s Day
C. an ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate is safe for Moose
D. there must be some theobromine or caffeine in espresso
3. What can we learn about Hackett?
A. He is an animal doctor. B. He is a pet shop owner.
C. He is the owner of Moose D. He is a doctor in a small hospital.
4. It can be inferred from the passage that Hackett believes that__________.
A. chocolate is truly deadly to dogs
B. it’s OK to give chocolate to a big dog
C. pets are usually ignored around confection-centered holidays
D. a healthy dog probably could survive a chocolate poisoning
5. The passage is mainly about__________.
A. the poisoning of Moose
B. the compounds of different chocolates
C. a handful M＆M’s chocolate is poisonous
D. the relation between methylxanthines and chocolate poisoning
