Scientists have fou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd a new use for children’s imaginations(想象力)—to make Stomachaches go away.
The BBC reports a new study that shows: “Children can be taught to use their Imaginations to deal with stomachaches.” This may be very good news for parents who need a quick cure for their sick children.
Any mother or father understands the stomach problem is one of the most frequent(时常发生的) things their children complain about. Around twenty percent of children suffer from stomachaches that doctors cannot find a reason for.
This new research is especially good for kids with active imaginations. Researchers found that the more creative the child is, the better he or she is at imagining the pain away.
The researchers used a relaxing CD with children. A voice guided them through different fantasy(幻想) situations. One of these was pretending to be floating on a cloud. Thirty children took part in the tests. Half of them used the “guided imagery” method, and the other half received normal medicines. Researchers found 73.3 percent of the CD users reported a reduction in pain. This compared to only 26.7 percent of kids who got normal treatment.
Study leader Dr Miranda Tilburg was very excited about her findings. She believed that it was a very cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches. She said it would not work as well with adults.
【小题1】The new study may be good news for those who____________.
A．have less imaginations
B．don’t know how to relax
C．want to stop their kids’ stomachaches in a short time
D．can find why children suffer from stomachaches
【小题2】What kind of k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ids will benefit(从…收益) most from the new research
A．Kids who like listening to music.
B．Kids who are good at remembering things.
C．The independent(独立的) kids.
D．Kids with active imaginations.
【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A． Sometimes, do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ctors don’t know why children suffer from stomachaches.
B． Children complain about their learning problems most frequently.
C．The more cr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eative the child is, the less likely he or she is to have a stomachache.
D． 30 children received normal medicines in the tests.
【小题4】From the end of the passage, we know that__________.
A．adults can also use their imaginations to make stomachaches go away
B．Dr Miranda Tilburg wasn’t pleased with her findings
C．the normal cure for stomachaches will not be used
D．a cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches has been found
【小题5】What does this passage mainly tell us
A．Tell us how to stop stomachaches in public places.
B．Children can “imagine”their pain away.
C．Children’s imaginations are very active.
D．It mainly talks about how to develop children’s imaginations.

Napoga is a 12-ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar-old girl in Ghana(加纳), Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily(日常) cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pril 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然资源) on the earth.
Water covers 70% of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the earth’s surface(表面). But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth’s surface.
You probably feel luc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.
How do cars ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and factories make our water dirty First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.
Scientists say that in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:
●Turn off the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ater while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.
●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!
●You can easily cut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )your 10-minute showers(沐浴) in half—and you’ll be just as clean.
●When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run.
●Only wash cloth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full, you’re wasting water!
◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。
1. Every morning Napoga went to get clean water _______.
A. before she went to school B. after she finished school
C without going to school D. after she played with her friends
2. On the earth, _______.
A. sea water is widely used than fresh water
B. there is very little water for our living
C. there is 71% of fresh water
D. we don’t need to worry about water
3. Acid rain _______.
A. is only bad for living things
B. can be produced in factories
C. doesn’t do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) harm to people, but it’s bad for plants, animals and buildings
D. doesn’t just do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) harm to human beings but to ani mals, plants and buildings
4. Which of the following wastes water
A. We need ten minutes if we want a clean shower.
B. We should p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut in enough clothes when we wash them in washing machines.
C. You can keep yourself clean by having a shower for five minutes.
D. Don’t let the water run when we brush our teeth and wash dishes.
5. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Something must be done to prevent water form be ing polluted.
B. Clean water means ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )much to human beings and living things around us.
C. It’s time to take care of the water we use.
D. Water is the most important natural resource on the earth.
【答案及解析】
1. 选C。从第1段中的句子She has no time to go to school可知，她根本没有去上学。故选C。
2. 选B。短文第3段中介绍 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )了全球70%被水覆盖，但只有1%才是饮用淡水。而世界上的很多国家和地区都缺水。所以选B项，即我们的生活用水很少。
3. 选D。由第5段中的句子D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irty rain, called acid rain, is also bad for plants animals and buildings.可知，acid rain(酸雨)的危害很大。 故答案选D。
4. 选A。A选项与C选项相互矛盾， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )则必有一个为正确选项。而从第3点建议(advice)可知，你可以沐浴只须五分钟来节约用水，若用10分钟则是浪费水。故选A。
5. 选C。读完全文我们知道地球上的水资源有限，所以大家都要节约用水。故选C。

Yesterday I went for a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) bus ride to the countryside. The bus was not full and I had a good seat at the front.
For about an hour ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) we were on the freeway( 高速公路). Then we turned off and drove along a narrow country road.
Soon the road began ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to climb. We left the fields and villages behind us and came to a forest. There was very little sunlight and it was quite dark.
When we reached the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )top of the hill, the driver parked the bus. We all got out. I could see a long way. We were several thousands meters high. It was very cold.
I wanted to go fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r a walk, but the bus driver said there was going to be a storm. He wanted to leave before the storm came.
When we we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re halfway down the hill, I remembered something. On the way up the hill there had been an old lady sitting behind me. She wasn’t sitting there now. I looked around the bus. There wasn’t any old lady on the bus anywhere.
I told the driver ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) about her. He had to turn the bus around and go up the hill again. When we reached the top, the old lady was waiting in the rain for the bus. She scolded(责备) the driver for leaving without her. She thanked me for remembering her.

Does money make peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le happier Studies show that it does－when people at the poverty level are suddenly paid more. Other studies also show that people who lose the money they are used to having become very unhappy. But the most important thing seems to be that people are happiest when they make more than other people. Perhaps one secret of happiness is just to think about people who don’t have as much money as you. Sadly, however, the opposite is also true. When you compare yourself to friends and neighbors who have higher incomes, this may make you unhappy.
Poor people need e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nough food to feed themselves but what happens when people suddenly become very rich This is the case in China right now where people have become much better off, but can only have one child. The result is an army of “little emperors”: fat, spoiled children. A child measures(衡量) happiness in love, not food, and there’s nothing good about overfeeding a child.
Richard Layard, di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rector of the London School of Economics, says, “The six key factors(因素) now scientifically established to affect(影响) happiness most are: mental health, satisfying and secure(安定的) work, a secure and loving private life, a safe community, freedom, and moral values” It is quite interesting that only one of these has to do with making money. People who realize this think that it is better to be paid in something other than money, for example, time.
Many peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e are now starting to take time off in different ways. Rather than saving up their vacations for a rushed trip once a year, people are taking a day or so here and there to have smaller, quieter vacations. In some cases, people are going in the other direction and taking vacations of several months or even a year. On these vacations, they don’t generally just lie on a beach. Instead, they might volunteer in another country or learn a new skill like a foreign language.
81. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. newspaper rep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orts B. studies by experts C. neighbors and friends D. unhappy people
82. People seem to be happiest when __________.
A. they make m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore money than others B. they make less money than others
C. they think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of other rich people D. they compare themselves to friends
83. “to be paid in som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ething other than money” in the third paragraph means _________.
A. to be given more money than anything else
B. to give up your job but make a lot of money
C. to work longer hours and make more money
D. to be given something more satisfying than money
84. Which of the following is not true according to the passage
A. Being rich is only good for rich people.
B. People in China are much better off now.
C. A child measures happiness in love, not food.
D. Money is only one of the six factors affecting happiness.
85. Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A. Throw Away Your Money B. Get Rich Quickly
C. Money Isn’t Everything D. How to Make More Money

It seems to be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) strange to you that there is a blind spot (盲点) on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment (实验) that can make something disappear (消失), when one eye is open.
Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, you can see the letter again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing.
Why does the letter disappear It is because there is a blind spot on the eyes. When the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot, you can’t see it. That is why either of the letters disappears.
【小题1】The writer of the passage thinks that ______________there is a blind spot on the eyes.
A．few people know B．no one knows
C．most people know D．all the people know
【小题2】You fail to se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e the letter L in the experiment because ______________.

Country music is on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events - love, sadness, good times and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds in the way people really talk. As life becomes hard for us, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country-western music, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play the guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.
At first city pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada, in small towns and among towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.
1. People like country ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) music because it is about human feelings and events.

In many high school ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s, there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class, for example, the teacher will be very angry.
Every mobile phone h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as a ringtone(铃声). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now, there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone(蚊子铃声)”. Using it, students can receive calls and text messages(短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How
Mosquitotone has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older, we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies(频率). As a result, a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but it’s inaudible to someone 20 or older.
But sometimes, peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British student’s phone uses mosquitotone. In class, the student’s phone rang. The 32 year old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rules: no mobile phone in class.”
Not all the student ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones, a high school student of 17, says, “Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure, but not in class. It’s unfair to the teachers！”
What do parent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s think of mosquitotone “I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters，” says Connie Neeson, 44. “Think about it. You’re watching a film and someone’s mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people don’t hear it. However, it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in class.”
( )1. Mosquitotone works because ________.
A. it is very loud B. it has no sound
C. it has a beautiful sound D. it use high frequencies
( )2. The underlined part “ it’s inaudible to” means “ ________”．
A. it can’t be seen by B. it can’t be heard by
C. it isn’t popular with D. it isn’t healthy for
( )3. The 3 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )2 year old teacher felt unhappy because the student ________.
A. was late for class
B. didn’t do his homework
C. couldn’t answer her question
D. was using a mobile phone in class
( )4. Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone ________.
A. has no bad influence
B. is unfair to the teachers
C. has its advantage and disadvantage
D. can’t be used in any public place
语篇解读：文章介绍了一种特殊的手机铃声“蚊子铃声”，对此老师、学生和家长有不同的看法。
1. D。 推理判断题。由第二段“Mosq ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older, we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies(频率)．”“蚊子铃音有特殊的声音。只有儿童和青少年能听到。由于年龄大了，我们不能听到这么高频率的声音”可知。
2. B。 推理判断题。由第二段可知儿童和青少年能听到蚊子铃音，对于20岁以上的人群一般听不到。
3. D。 细节理解题。由第四段可知学生在课堂上，学生的手机响了。学校规定不允许用手机，因此老师不高兴了。
4. C。 细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知C ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onnie Neeson认为在公共场合使用蚊子铃音有好处，别人不被打扰；然而在课堂上学生用它则对学习有不好的影响。

【2016中考模拟】阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳的答案。
All boys and girls lik ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e good stories. I am sure that all children who read The Ugly Duckling will be glad to know something about the ‘King of Story Tellers’, who wrote it for them. Thousands and thousands of children have read this story, only to ask for it again and again. It has travelled the wide world over, and has been told in every country.
Hans Christian And ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ersen, the author of “The Ugly Duckling,” was born in Denmark. If you look on a map, you will see this little country in northern Europe. There, in the little village of Odense, he spent his boyhood. His father and mother were very poor. The family lived in two little rooms near the top of a house, where his father worked as a shoemaker.
On the roof ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was a box filled with earth. In this box his mother planted her vegetables. Little Hans loved to walk with his father in the woods, where he could pick wild flowers and hear the birds sing. His father read to him when his work was done, or told him stories. What his father did helped him open up a new world.
Once, when H ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ans was still a child, he went into a wheat field with his mother and a number of children, to pick the rest wheat which the reapers(收割机) had left in the field. While they were busy picking only a small amount of wheat for each of them, an angry bailiff(看守者) came rushing into the field, armed with a whip(鞭子). All ran, as fast as they could, away from the angry man. Little Hans was barefoot, and the sharp stalks(茎秆) of the wheat plants which had been cut down, cut his feet so that he could not get away.
Unafraid, the boy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )faced the angry man and his upraised whip. “How dare you hit me when you know God sees you ” he cried, looking fearlessly into the face of the angry bailiff. The whip came down, but not on little Hans. The bailiff admired the boy’s courage, and praised him for it. He sent him home with gifts, rather than punishments.
While Hans was stil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l a boy, his kind father died. Then Hans and his mother were left alone, to care for each other.

“But where will the mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ney be found to pay your way ” asked the mother.
“I will work, and God will take care of me,” Hans replied.
So the boy left ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) his native village and walked all the way to Copenhagen, which was very far.
81. What did Hans’ father do in the woods when the work was done
A. He gathered ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wild flowers with Hans. B. He taught Hans to make shoes.
C. He read boo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ks or told stories to Hans. D. He picked remaining wheat with Hans.
82. Why didn’t the bailiff hit Hans
A. Because he was afra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )id of Hans. B. Because he was too angry.
Because Hans gave him ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) some gifts. D. Because he admired Hans’ courage.
83.What do you think t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he meaning of the underline sentence “Little Hans was barefoot” is

At present, too ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) much carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) makes the earth warmer and warmer and causes terrible effect to human beings. To save our planet, to save ourselves, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life(低碳生活) becomes popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.
To live a low-carbon life, we’d better save energy as possible. Turn off the lights and TV whenever they are not needed. If possible, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes. Take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm. Don’t do the cooking with electricity.
To live a low-carbon life, we should eat less meat. Everybody knows eating too much meat makes people fat and easy to have heart disease, but maybe you don’t know keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars in the world, and being a vegetarian can help reduce one and a half tons of carbon dioxide a year. Maybe it is a little difficult, but it’s really necessary.
To live a low-carbon life, we are supposed to do less shopping. When we go shopping, we may drive a car or take other transportations. On the one hand, these machines pollute the air and waste energy. On the other hand, most of us always buy some useless things because of some advertisements. It is not only a waste of money but also causes trouble to the earth, because as you know, making everything will produce carbon dioxide more or less.
There are many other ways to live low-carbon life, such as recycling things, planting trees and reusing textbooks. If we can keep it a habit in our daily life, the earth will become a safer planet for us to live on.

Many years ago, there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was a man. He had a cat and loved it very much. He decided to call it Sky. One day, a friend said to him, "Let me tell you that there is something stronger than the sky. I mean the clouds, for they cover the sky." "You are right." answered the man, "And now I'm going to give my cat the name ‘Cloud’”.
Two days later, another man was having supper with him at his house. “Why do you call cat Cloud The wind blows away the cloud without difficulty.” So the man changed its name again. It was then called Wind.
But a week had not passed when his neighbor noticed this quite beautiful cat. He said, “Wind seems to be the worst name. Even a wall can stop the wind. Wall seems to be better.” So the cat was called Wall. But a teacher said that a wall was not stronger than a mouse. The man had to change the name again. Just then the man's son came in. “Mouse!” he shouted. “What a foolish name! I know something much stronger than a mouse. Everyone knows that a cat catches the mouse and eats it. A cat is stronger than a mouse,” said the boy. This time the man saw his mistake. He changed its name back to Cat again.
1. The man named his cat “Sky” because he liked it very much.
2. One day he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) changed the name Sky because he was told that the sky was higher than the cloud.
3. He turned ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the name to “Cloud” because he found that the cloud would be blown away by the wind.
4. His neighbor co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nsidered "Wind" the worst name because even a wall could stop it.
5. Finally the man c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alled his cat “cat” because he thought a wall not stronger than mouse.

Almost every Chi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nese person can recite(背诵) the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work ”. But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.
A CCTV program r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food Absolutely not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2011, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.
Chinese people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are well-known for being friendly and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table. Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food

Last weeken ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d we found a really beautiful shell(壳) while my friend and I were playing volleyball at the beach. He picked it up and said it was his. In fact, I saw it first. I was so angry that I thought about hitting him. However, “ Violence (武力) is the worst!” came to my mind. Our parents and teachers often tell us not to fight. I didn’t fight but talked with him instead. If two adults use violence towards each other in order to win, it’s quite wrong. If one injured the other, he would be caught. If one killed the other, he would be put into prison(监狱) for years, even for the rest of his life.
Now when two ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) countries have different thoughts, they often use violence and fight a war between the countries. It’s rather bad! Thousands of people have been killed and injured at war. And it brings much trouble to the world.A war is rather violence. Adults will say they are fighting wars to solve problems and make peace. But can wars really “ make peace” I suppose not. Guns(枪) can’t create love and care. Why can't adults use their brains(脑) They might say things are not so easy. However, why are they doing so Adults are our models! Can wars make peace

George,
This is just a note ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to say thank you for the wonderful trip to Delphi and Meteora. Peggy, Maggie and I had a great time. I wish that we had known about your service before our travel agent booked our half-day overview of Athens. Although our guide was fairly knowledgeable, her voice was not strong enough to be heard outside and more time was wasted getting everyone on and off the bus than actually touring Athens. Next time we'll know who to contact first!
Again, many thanks for a great tour.
Sincerely,
Ken & Peggy P'Pool

Hi Matt
My wife and I w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ant to thank you for providing such great information on Greece AND for telling us about

We just recently ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) returned from our Greece/Turkey trip. One of the best things we did in advance was to "book" George ("The Famous Taxi Driver"). He certainly made our short visit to Athens everything it could possibly be in two short days.

Thanks for making a great trip even better!

The earth is about 4, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )600 million years old. Modern man has lived on the earth for only 35,000 years, but during that time, we have changed our planet in many ways. Many of the things that we have done are good, but more are not good for the earth.
Water Pollution
A lot of people, birds and fish die each day because of water pollution. Factories have polluted the land and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes are now dead.
Air Pollution
In big cities, factories, as well as cars, trucks and buses are the main causes of air pollution. Many people in cities now have serious health problems. For example, Mexico city used to be a beautiful sunny capital, but today it is always covered by thick brown clouds.
Soil Pollution
In order to have a good harvest, most of the farmers use chemicals too much in their fields. That’s bad for the soil. But this kind of pollution is difficult to stop.
Hope For The Future
These problems are very serious for our future, so all of us should do something to improve our environment. If we can stop pollution, our planet will become more and more beautiful and our health will be better. Let’s be greener people!

We are already ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories. But it is also true that many children today are using computers at schools before they can write. What does this mean for the future Are these children lucky or not
Many people who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.
But people who underst ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and more about computers say that computers can be very good for children.

“ It’s not contagiou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s(传染的), ” said the eighth-grader at Hudtloff Middle School in Washington State. “ It’s a tic disorder(抽动障碍). It’s common with kids. ”
According to Richa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rds, TS is mainly made up of movement tics. At least 100, 000 Americans have this problem. It often appears in childhood but can improve in youth or adulthood.
Richards was told he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) had TS three years ago when his eyes always “ went crazy”. Because of this, he was placed in the special needs classroom, but he said the work wasn’t challenging.

“ My parents though ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t that because I had TS that it was harder for me to learn, but it wasn’t,” he said. The next year, he returned to school and his grades improved.
Being named ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a youth ambassador last year also helped Richards’ confidence. This spring, he and his mom traveled to Washington D. C. , for a meeting and training. He met other kids from around the country who were also dealing with TS. “ Each one of us had a bond(纽带) , ” said Richards. “ It also made me realized I don’t have to get so stressed-out over it.”
Now, Richards wants ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to visit a primary school. Since becoming a TS ambassador, he said, he feels more comfortable taking about the disorder.

Dream is a story that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a person “watches” or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer’s life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening.
Everyone dreams, but s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ome persons never recall(回忆) dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.
Dreams involve little ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer can’t control what happens to him. The story may be confusing , and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color, but persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.
Dreams are a pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )duct of the sleeper’s mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Few events more than two days old turn up. Deep wishes or fears, especially those held since childhood, often appear in dreams, and many dreams fulfill(实现) such wishes. Events in the sleeper’s surrounding, a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.
Some dreams invo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lve deep feelings that a person may not realize he has. Psychiatrists(精神病医生) often use material from a patient’s dreams to help the person understand himself better.
Dreaming may help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) maintain(保持) good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep- but are awakened each time they begin to dream-become anxious and restless.
( ) 56. According to the passage, dreams result from____________.
A. the sleeper’s feeling
B. the sleeper’s wishes
C. the sleeper’s own mind
D. the sleeper’s imagination
( ) 57. We may infer from the passage that dreaming___________ .
A. disturbs people’s life
B. deprives(剥夺) people of a good sleep
C. makes people always restless
D. is beneficial(有益的) to people
( ) 58. This passage suggests that psychiatrists are________.
A. trying to make the sleeper dream logically
B. studying the benefits of dreams
C. trying to help the dreamer recall his earlier dreams
D. helping the sleeper fulfill his dreams
( ) 59. This passage is mainly about_______.
