When Rebecca Vance tells parents that their children have "specific language impairment（障碍）", the parents often wonder aloud what they could have done to prevent the disorder.

Vance, a speech pathologist（病理学家）, runs a summer camp for 4- and 5-yeat-old children who have difficulty acquiring language skills through interactions with their parents and teachers.

Children with specific language impairment have difficulty with grammar, including proper word order. tenses, subject-verb agreement and use of the correct pronouns for gender distinction.

"When the public think about speech problems they usually think of stuttering（口吃）or not being able to say their R's." Vance says. "But we're really talking about something different. We're talking about the inability to take an idea and then express it in a grammatical way that uses appropriate vocabulary to express that idea, and that's what children really struggle with."

"The idea is if we can get in early when these problems first become really apparent we may be able to have the biggest impact,” Vance says.

Research shows that children who have delayed language development in the preschool years are at risk for academic difficulties when they start school—and, specifically, problems with reading and writing because "reading and writing are language on paper", Vance says.

What's more, children with poor language abilities are at greater risk for dropping out of school and for not being able to get well-paying jobs in later years. "So, there's a socio- economic consequence to this impairment," Vance says.

The important thing to know, Vance says, is that children "are not having these problems because they can't hear, and they’re not having these problems because they’re not intelligent. They’re bright, they can think, they can problem-solve, but when they have to process and use words, it's just very difficult".

"Our ultimate goal is to have children take what we teach them and make it part of their system and use it every day, all the time," Vance says.

4. Whom is the summer camp open to?

A. Parents. B. Teachers. C. School students. D. Preschool children

5. Which of the following is a probable consequence of specific language impairment?

A. Unable to get a good job. B. Unable to write and read.

C. Unable to talk with others. D. Unable to understand people.

6. What does Vance think of children with specific language impairment?

A. They have a poor memory. B. They were born a bit deaf.

C. They are normal children. D. They are of low intelligence.

7. What is "what we teach them" underlined in the last paragraph mainly about?

A. How to pronounce a word. B. How to interact with others.

C. How to use their language correctly. D. How to speak their language fluently.

【答案】4. D    5. A    6. C    7. C

Our world is full of sounds. Sound is so essential to life and survival that it made Tel Aviv University researcher Lilach Hadany ask: What if it wasn't just animals that could sense sound—what if plants could, too?

“Sounds are a natural resource-one that plants would be wasting if they didn’t take advantage of it as animals do,”said Hadany. If plants had a way of hearing and responding to sound, she figured, it could help them survive and reproduce.

Hadany's team started their study by investigating flowers. Evening primrose（夜来香）, which grows wild on the beaches and in parks around Tel Aviv, emerged as a good candidate, since it has a long bloom time and produces measurable quantities of nectar（花蜜）.

To test the primroses in the lab, Hadany's team exposed plants to five sound treatments: silence, recordings of a honeybee from four inches away, and computer generated sounds in low, intermediate（中等的）, and high frequencies. Plants given the silent treatment had no significant increase in nectar sugar concentration. The same went for plants exposed to high-frequency（158 to 160 kilohertz）and intermediate-frequency（34 to 35 kilohertz）sounds.

But for plants exposed to playbacks of bee sounds（0.2 to 0.5 kilohertz）and similarly low-frequency sounds（0.05 to 1 kilohertz）, the final analysis revealed an unmistakable response. Within three minutes of exposure to these recordings, nectar sugar concentration in the plants increased by 20 percent.

A sweeter treat for pollinators（传粉者）, their theory goes, may draw in more insects, potentially increasing the chances of successful cross-pollination. Indeed, in field observations, researchers found that pollinators were more than nine times more common around plants another pollinator had visited within the previous six minutes.

“We were quite surprised when we found out that it actually worked.” said Hadany.“But after repeating it in other situations, in different seasons, and with plants grown both indoors and outdoors, we feel very confident in the result.”

8. Why did Hadany's team expose plants to sound treatments?

A. To see if they would respond to sound.

B. To develop their ability to receive sound.

C. To help them benefit from different sounds.

D. To detect the difference between plants and animals.

9. Which of the following can bring a sweeter treat for pollinators?

A. Flowers like primroses B. Sounds like those of bees.

C. Visits from other pollinators. D. Exposure to different sounds

10. What can be concluded from the study?

A. Plants can identify different sounds. B. Sound attracts more pollinators to flowers.

C. Plants produce nectar when pollinators come. D. Sound plays an important role in insects’ survival.

11. How did Hadany feel about their discovery described in paragraph 5 at first?

A. It was doubtful. B. It was unexpected. C. It was acceptable D. It was satisfactory.

【答案】8. A    9. B    10. A    11. B

D

Most of us know what it's like to savor（品味）a slice of chocolate cake or a glass of our favorite wine. But savoring is a concept that goes far beyond that. We can also savor important experiences, moments or even visually exciting events, such as a splendid sunset.

In a recently published paper, researcher Maggie Pitts explores how people savor different types of communication. Her work builds on evidence from the field of positive psychology showing that savoring—or people's capacity to recognize and appreciate enjoyable life experiences can promote feelings of wellbeing, relationships and quality of life.

"Savoring happens in a positive or pleasant feeling." she said. "First, you feel something pleasant, then you feel pleasant about feeling pleasant, and that is where savoring comes in. It's not just feeling good; it's feeling good about feeling good, and then trying to trap that feeling.”

"While savoring typically happens in the moment, you can time travel through savoring," Pitts said. "I can sit here now and think of something that happened earlier today or yesterday or 25 years ago, and when I recall that savoring moment I physiologically experience savoring, and that puts me in a good mood and can really boost my moment. There's also this idea of anticipatory savoring. People do this when they plan for a vacation or a honeymoon or the weekend. We anticipate and we have that good feeling that helps us in the moment."

For the average person who wants to get better at savoring and gaining the benefits that come with it, Pitts says it starts with being open and present.

"We have to be in an open state to be able to become aware that something pleasant or meaningful is happening and then want to bottle it up in a jar so we can really appreciate it." she said. "If you notice you’re experiencing something pleasant, think about what it is that's pleasant. Connect it to other pleasant experiences. What could make it even better? It is a practice, and it takes practice, but anyone can do it."

12. According to the text, which of the following can be savored?

A. Something sad. B. Something nice.  C. Something wrong. D. Something terrible.

13 What does the underlined part "feeling pleasant" in paragraph 3 indicate?

A. What you want to get. B. What you experienced

C. What you are enjoying. D. What you are savoring.

14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A. Recalling enjoyable trips B. Experiencing savoring all the time.

C. Appreciating past and future events. D. Identifying different types of savoring.

15. What is the best title for the text?

A. The Role of Savoring B. Benefits of an Open State

C. Savoring—Anyone Can Do It D. Savoring—It's Not Just for Dinner

【答案】12. B    13. B    14. C    15. D

The ocean is full of lessons. ___16___

If you are able to spend time at a beach in summer and go for a swim, you'll find yourself facing a number of choices when waves arrive. Challenges are often described as coming in "waves". ___17___ How do you handle waves? You could try one of these possible responses:

 ___18___ Waves will eventually crash. and it's just what they do. Show your inner strength by standing right in that moment, steeling yourself to resist the impact.

Get knocked over—and come up laughing. I've taught my 9-year-old son the same beach safety rule my mother taught me: If you get knocked over by a wave, find the sandy bottom with your feet so you can push off and break through the water's surface. Thus you can experience the joy of getting knocked down and finding your way back up again. ___19___

Ride the waves. When swimming in deep water, face what's coming and reflect on what's behind. When you turn landward and ride the waves toward the shore, that same sort of waves that may have knocked you down, or that you steeled yourself against, can now carry you forward. ___20___ So set aside the resistance and accept the help of each wave as it comes.

A. Stand up to the crashing surf

B. Waves will carry you to where you want to go

C. Yet what I appreciate is how it benefits mankind.

D. So the options reflect our decision-making powers in life.

E. Of course, you have to go swimming when the sea is still.

F. Among the most important, for me, are those from waves.

G. You may also realize that you can handle something a little stronger than you.

A Great Coach in My Life

I started to love running at a young age. I loved to race my dad and my sister around the backyard. I couldn’t wait until I got older so I could run in the Olympics and win lots of medals.

One day Dad showed me an advertisement for a yearly race in a newspaper. “Would you be interested in entering this race?” he asked me. pointing to the advertisement. “Yes. of course.” I answered.

I spent the next few days practicing for my big race with Dad coaching me. He set up a table in the backyard so he could supply me with water and time me.

On the day of the race I spent a lot of the morning practicing. My nervous excitement gave me much energy.

When Dad and I arrived at the race. I registered and got a number to pin on my back. Just before the race began. Dad whispered in my ear, “Don’t use up all your energy at the beginning of the race. You need to have energy so you can speed up at the end.”

The starting whistle sounded. Following Dad’s advice. I didn’t run as fast as I could. Then the other runners started passing me, which made me nervous. I began to feel tired, and I’d only just reached the first bend in the track. I started slowing down and breathing harder.

Then I heard, “Come on. Kelly! You can do it! Keep running!”

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dad running beside me around the outside of the track.

I took a deep breath and tried to speed forward. Dad continued running beside me. shouting encouraging words.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】It would be nice to end this story by saying that I won the race, but I came fifth. You can imagine how upset I was then, thinking I had let my dad down. But much to my surprise, Dad gave me a big hug as if I was a winner, saying, “I’m so proud of you, Kelly. You didn’t give up. You did your best. I’m sure you will win the race next time." Amazingly, inspired by what Dad said, I kept practicing and did become the winner of the next running race.

Dad not only saw my success as a race winner, but is also my coach in other aspects of my life. When I’m challenged to work on a school project, Dad encourages me to come up with more creative ideas. When my academic achievement improves, Dad shares in my joy and encourages me to make greater progress. And when I fail an exam, Dad makes me see that failure can be a valuable experience in life. Dad is alongside me through my life, giving me guidance, courage and confidence. His love is part of my growth and what makes me better and stronger.

Thank you, my great coach.
