Students perform better when their instructors use hand gestures—a simple teaching tool that could generate benefits in higher-level math such as algebra(代数).
??? A study published in Child Development,the top-ranked educational psychology journal,provides some of the strongest evidence yet that gesturing may have a unique effect on learning.Teachers in the United States tend to use gestures less than teachers in other countries.
??? ?"Gesturing can be a very beneficial tool that is completely free and easily employed in classrooms," said Kimberly Fenn,study co-author and assistant professor of psychology at Michigan State University."And I think it can have long-lasting effects."
??? Fenn and Ryan Duffy of MSU and Susan Cook of the University of Iowa conducted an experiment with 184 second-,third- and fourth-graders in Michigan elementary classrooms.
??? Half of the students were shown videos of an instructor teaching math problems using only speech.The others were shown videos of the instructor teaching the same problems using both speech and gestures.In the speech-only videos,the instructor simply explains the problem.In the other videos,the instructor uses two hand gestures while speaking,using different hands to refer to the two sides of the equation.Students who learned from the gesture videos performed better on a test given immediately afterward than those who learned from the speech-only video.
??? Another test was given 24 hours later,and the gesture students actually showed improvement in their performance while the speech-only students did not.
??? While previous research has shown the benefits of gestures in a one-on-one tutoring-style environment,the new study is the first to test the role of gestures in equivalence learning in a regular classroom.
??? The study also is the first to show that gestures can help students transfer learning to new contexts—such as transferring the knowledge learned in an addition-based equation to a multiplication-based equation.
??? Fenn noted that U.S.students lag behind those in many other Western countries in math and have a particularly hard time mastering equivalence problems in early grades."So if we can help them grasp this foundational knowledge earlier," she said,"it will help them as they learn algebra and higher levels of mathematics."
(1)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?( )
A.?How to Learn Higher-level Math Well??????B.?Simple Teaching Tools Used in Math Learning
C.?Teachers' Gestures Boost Math Learning???D.?Why U.S. Students Can't Learn Math Well
(2)Researchers explain their opinion in the educational psychology journal by ________.
A.?setting down general rules??????????????????????????????B.?using a great many examples
C.?making questionnaire survey??????????????????????????D.?presenting research findings
(3)What do you know about the experiment conducted by Kimberly Fenn?( )
A.?The experiment was done with 184 students of the same age in elementary classrooms.
B.?The students were divided into two groups and got different teaching methods.
C.?Researchers drew the conclusion based on the only one test they did in the experiment.
D.?Researchers had not done any research on the benefits of gestures before this one.

When I was in my first year of high school,I had a terrible time when every area of my life was a disaster.I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible.
??? On one such day,I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home,with my head down,fighting tears of total hopelessness,when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me.Though I had never seen him before,I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits,so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past.I thought he'd walk on by,but he moved until he was directly in front of me,waited until I looked up,and then smiled.
??? Looking into my eyes,this stranger spoke in a quiet voice:"Whatever is wrong will pass.You're going to be OK,just hang on."?? He,then,smiled again and walked away.
??? I can't explain the effect of that man's unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I'd lost completely—hope.I looked for him in our school to thank him,but never saw him again.
??? That was thirty years ago.And I've never forgotten that moment.Over the years,whenever I see someone who is in trouble,I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can.I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them,sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy,or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything.
??? If you keep your head up,your heart will show you the place that needs hope.
(1)Where did the writer meet with the young man?( )

四、任务型阅读(共10分)
??? Body language is a form of communication without using words. ________?This means that the person using body language is not fully aware that they are using it. Some psychologists say that body language actually communicates more information than using words.
??? ________?Human beings seem to know about other people by nature through their body language even when they speak a different verbal language. It is likely that in human prehistory, body language was an important survival skill that helped us to display and tell the difference between threats and safety.
??? Body language can communicate negative emotions. When a listener crosses their arms against their chest, it can mean disagreement with the speaker. This can also be indicated when a listener leans(倾斜) away from the speaker. ________?It can also mean disbelief.
??? Positive feelings are often shown through facial expressions, eye contact, and gestures. ________?When a person looks in another person's eyes and then down at their lips, it usually means they have romantic(浪漫) feelings for the speaker. Standing or sitting straight with good gesture shows that a listener is taking the person's speech seriously.
??? ________?When a person is lying, they tend to touch their face during the conversation. They may also blink(眨眼) too much or not blink at all.
