| Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl,while boys will head for cars,a study has shown.The findings,the first to show differences in very young babies,suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences. Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 months.The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys.Some were typically boys' toys-a car,a digger,a ball and a blue teddy.The rest were girls' toys: a pink teddy,a doll and a cooking set.They were placed a meter away from the toys;and could pick whichever toy they liked their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded. Of the youngest children (9 to 14 months),girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys,and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did.Among the two and three-year-olds,girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it.The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars,which the girls barely touched.There was no link between the parents' view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls,and the children's choice. Dr Brenda Todd said,"Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization.Boys may be given'toys that go'while girls get toys they can care for,which may help shape their preference . But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys.There could be a biological basis for their choices.Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer: moving objects,probably through hunting instincts(本能),while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the colour of a newborn baby." |
| 1.Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because____ |
| A. baby boys are much more active B. baby girls like bright colours more C. their parents treat them differently D. there is a natural difference between them |
| 2. Both baby boys and baby girls like to play with____ according to the study. |
| A. a ball B. a teddy C. a car D. a doll |
| 3.What can we infer from Paragraph 3? |
| A. Nine-month-old baby boys don't play with dolls at all. B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls. C. The older the babies are,the more obvious their preference is. D. Parents should teach their babies to share each other's toys. |
| 4.What conclusion did Dr.Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study? |
| A. Adults purposely influence their babies' preference. B. Babies' preference isn't affected by social surroundings. C. Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting. D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted. |
| 5.We may read this article in a______section of a newspaper. |

| It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented.And at first sight,it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things.The first is to stand still.The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car,and keep it there. This is where things start getting difficult.Lots of people are doing the same thing.And the winner of the "handathon" contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time.That person gets to own the car. It still seems to be an easy thing to do.At the beginning it is.Anyone can stand still.But when the contest has been going for four or five days,standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention.After a few days,the hand seems to belong to someone else-someone who wants to go home and get some sleep. Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat,drink or do whatever else is necessary.No one is allowed to lean on the car for support.Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention.They also need to be able to develop special skills. Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter.Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don't seem to do much preparation.Most say they will prepare by "getting lots of sleep".Others say they will "eat healthy food" or "pray for success".The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end. Handathons are competitions,but there is little rivalry (敌对) between competitors.They help each other out and keep each other's spirits up.People who drop out early return with food,drink and encouragement. |
| 1.The reason why the sport is called "handathon" is that competitors ______. |
| A. cover a long distance B. keep hands in place for long C. wave hands as long as possible D. do the same thing as in a marathon |
| 2.What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon? |
| A. Standing without any support. B. Not leaning on the car. C. Eating and drinking in five minutes. D. Having strong powers of attention. |
| 3.Why is handathon popular? |
| A. Someone can win with special training. B. It doesn't need to make any preparation. C. Anyone who is interested can join in it. D. People get along well with each other in it. |
| 4.What is the writer's opinion about handathon? |
| A. It is not as easy as it looks at first. B. It is the easiest of all sports. C. It can purify people's spirits. D. It is not good competing in a handathon. |
| 5.Which of the following about handathon is not right? |
| A. The person who takes part in it should stand still. B. The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car,and keep it there. C. The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition. D. Handathons are competitions,so competitors don't encourage each other. |

| [1]Pupils at schools in the UK are being given lessons on how to sleep.The project,run by the charity Sleep Scotland,aims to teach pupils tips,such as the importance of a bedtime routine and avoiding late-night television. [2]Experts say teenagers who seem bad-tempered could actually lack sleep because they go to bed after midnight.The advice for pupils is that they should sleep for more than nine hours a night.Researchers found that after going to bed after midnight,teenagers still _____________for watching television or browsing the Internet.Some pupils were getting as little as four or five hours of sleep a night.

However,going without enough sleep can be linked to obesity (肥胖) and a greater risk of depression. Jane Ansell,director of Sleep Scotland,said,"You wouldn't send somebody to school without having the right amount of food,so why would you send them without enough sleep?" [5]A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said,"We are determined to provide guidance for young people,so they can get the right amount of sleep and make the best of their learning potential." |
