| Children become more generous as they get older, learning the principles of equality by the age of eight. That may not be too surprising to anyone who has kids. Humans are born with a sense of fairness that most other animals seem not  to share, but it's not been clear exactly when this concept starts to develop. Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues conducted a series of tests to measure just how much children care about equality at different ages.In three different versions of a game, children were asked to choose between two ways of sharing a number of sweets with themselves and an unfamiliar partner.They could choose, for example, between one for me and one for you, or just having one for themselves. At the age of three, children were "almost completely selfish", says Zhao. They refused to give sweets away even if it made no difference to themselves.But by the age of eight, children generally preferred the fair option, sharing a prize equally rather than keeping it all to themselves. Several other factors influenced how fair the children were.The team found that children without brothers or sisters were 28% more likely to share than children with brothers or sisters.On the other hand, the youngest children in a family were 17% less willing to share than children who had only younger brother or sister. In addition, if children knew that their partner was from the same playgroup or school, they were more concerned about being fair.This suggests that being nice to people you know is something that develops a sense of equality. 1. The main idea of the first paragraph is________. A. parents know clearly when their kids are more willing to share B. the kids' wil  lingness of sharing is learned from their familyC. the older the kids are, the more selfish they will become D. kids become more generous when they reach a certain age 2. The tests conducted by Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues were aimed at________. A. how kids develop a quality of fairness in games B. children's awareness of equality at different ages C. the reasons why children care about equality D. children's attitudes towards other partners 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Children under three know little about being fair. B. Children above eight years old become less selfish. C. Children with brothers or sisters tend to be more generous. D. The youngest child in a family tends to be less generous. 4. We can learn that children care more about equality while with________. A. unknown people B. nice people C. familiar people D. fair people |

The Uni ted Nations says more than 900 million people worldwide do not have enough to eat.Officialssay 100 million more could go hungry this year because of the food and financial crises. To deal with the situation, the UN World Food Program has started a project to help small farmers. These farmers are mainly women.Many cannot produce enough food even to feed and support their own families. The new effort is called Purchase for Progress, or P4P.It aims to connect local farmers with dependable markets.That way, they could get a chance to sell their surplus (剩余) at competitive prices .P4P will be tested in as many as 21 countries during the next five years. The biggest contributor to the project is Bill Gates, through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Another donor (捐款者) is the Howard Buffett Foundation, led by a son of the American investor Warren Buffett.The government of Belgium is also supporting the project in a former colony (殖民地), now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Together these donors have provided more than 76 million dollars for projects in Africa and Central America. Purchase for Progress will work with United Nations agencies, governments and nongovernmental organizations to help increase crop production.The World Bank Group and other partners are to help train farmers in better crop management and marketing skills. The World Food Program says it expects to buy 40,000 tons of food in the first year using methods carried out by the project.That will be enough to feed 250,000 people. P4P is expected to develop food cooperatives and longterm agreements for buying corn, wheat and other food cro  ps.About 350,000 farmers could be assisted.Officials say the project will change the way the World Food Program buys food in developing countries.Executive Director Josette Sheeran says this is the first time her agency will buy a large amount of food from small farmers.The agency has traditionally bought most of its food from developing countries, but through larger trading organizations. 1.
