3 . For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.

Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.

This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.

Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).

Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.

4 . Yellowstone Poster Exhibition to Be on View at UW’s Coe Library

A first-of-its-kind exhibition that focuses on the history of Yellowstone National Park posters will be on display at the University of Wyoming’s Coe Library beginning Tuesday, February 1.

“Wonderland Illustrated” will present posters and poster-style illustrations of the park spanning from the 1870s through 2022. The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library. It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31.

The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year’s 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park. The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davís, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year-long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone’s 150th anniversary,” says Tamsen Hert, head of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. “This exhibition involves the history of printing, art, photography and advertising over 16 decades. The images reproduced are found on travel brochures, postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections.”

One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge’s “Yellowstone National Park” from1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. Wellge, a productive bird’s-eye-view artist, designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad, which used it to advertise the park. This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.

C．Four months.

D．One year.

2. What is a purpose of the exhibition?

5 . In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience.     1     But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you?     2    

We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses, The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime.     3     “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you’re a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going.

The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in person courses.     4     He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards.

    5     A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in-person meeting s with your professor to discuss course concepts.

A．But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines.

B．Your motivation should be your main concern.

C．Do you know that online courses are also part of your education?

D．Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online.

E．The chief complain t about online courses is that they lack human interaction.

F．If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade?

G．A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses.

6 . A great deal of evidence suggests that it is more difficult to learn a new language as an adult than as a child, which has led scientists to propose that there is a “critical period” for language learning.     1    . A new study performed at MIT by Joshua Hartshorne, an assistant professor of psychology at Boston College suggests that children remain very skilled at learning the grammar of a new language much longer than expected — up to the age of 17 or 18. But it is nearly impossible for people to have native-like knowledge unless they start learning a language by the age of 10.     2    . But they started seeing a decline after that.

    3    . But since they have a shorter window before their learning ability declines, they do not achieve the proficiency (精通) of native speakers, the researchers found.     4    . This is by far the largest data that anyone has collected for a study of language-learning ability.

“It’s been very difficult until now to get all the data you would need to answer this question of how long the critical period lasts,” says Josh Tenenbaum, an MIT professor of brain and cognitive (认知的) sciences and an author of the paper. “    5    . We could work on a question that is very old, that many smart people have thought about and written about, and take a new perspective and see something that maybe other people haven’t.”

A．New studies have figured out its length and causes

B．People might be too busy to learn a language later in life

C．The research is one of those rare opportunities in science

D．However, the length of this period and its primary causes remain unknown

E．People who start learning a language between 10 and 18 will still learn quickly

F．Researchers didn’t see much difference between those starting at birth and at 10

G．The findings are based on results from a grammar quiz taken by nearly 670,000 people

7 . If you have a chance to talk with a historical figure, who would you like it to be? What would you like to know about the past or share from today? China in the Classics, a new TV show based on Chinese classics started by China Central Television (CCTV) in February, is exploring such possibilities.

In the first episode, the host of the show, Sa Beining, meets ancient Confucian scholar Fu Sheng, who interpreted Shangshu — The Book of Documents. Regarded as one of the five classics of ancient Chinese Confucianism masterpieces, the book records many firsts in the country. Even the expression zhongguo (China) is used there first.

The episode ends with the host bringing Fu to today’s modern society, where the scholar is happy to find children learning the same things he had learned in his childhood. It increased the rating of the series with viewers giving it 9 out of 10 on Douban, a film and TV show reviewing website popular among young people.

The success of China in the Classics doesn’t surprise Shen Haixiong, head of the China Media Group. Shen said in an article in the journal Qiushi, “We are happy to see the program is popular among the public, but we are prouder to find that innovative interpretation of Chinese classics is arousing young people’s interest in Chinese culture.”

Therefore, TV channels have been making bold attempts in recent years to attract today’s younger generations. The Nation’s Greatest Treasures, CCTV’s cultural show in 2017, showcased China’s history and culture through antiques in the top-class museums, and fired up the audience. The treasures include the 3,300-year-old Yinxu Ruins in Henan Province and the 1,300-year-old Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region.

CCTV should make a variety of programs showcasing classics and cultural traditions to appeal to the young generation’s aesthetics, said Zhou, a professor at the School of Arts and Communication, Beijing Normal University.

1. Why is The Book of Documents mentioned in paragraph 2?

A．To introduce a historical figure.	B．To inform us of the host.
C．To show the popularity of the show.	D．To describe a new TV show.

2. What is Shen Haixiong’s attitude towards the programme on Chinese classics?

A．Surprised.

B．Confused.

C．Satisfied.

D．Neutral.

3. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?

A．Chinese treasures.	B．Another TV programme.
C．Yinxu Ruins in Henan.	D．Young Chinese audience.

4. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A．CCTV Produces Some Famous TV shows	B．TV Shows on Chinese Classics Grow Popular
C．Scholars Focus Attention on Chinese Classics	D．China in the Classics Fires up the Audience

8 . In May, as our scientific institution began to open back up and whispers about face-to-face lab meetings started to float around, I panicked.

My hearing loss began when I was in graduate school. At first, I fondly thought I could overcome it with hard work. I began to record every one-on-one meeting because even with the strongest focus I just couldn’t catch everything, and taking notes is not a choice when you rely on lip-reading. In meetings, I sat in the front row, tiring myself as I strained to both hear the speaker and process the science. So, in the fourth year, I decided cochlea implants (植入耳蜗) were the right next step.

The week after I began to hear with both implants, I attended a conference. I looked over every listening environment to plan my equipment and where I needed to be located during the event. It worked OK — but it was still tiring, and I felt excluded from so much.

When meetings were held online, my experience was much better. The sound quality was clear, without the powerful noises of a physical office space or meeting room. I could sit back and let the sound come to me. It was easier to focus, participate, and think deeply about the science. I felt a sense of belonging. I began to leave meetings feeling refreshed rather than needing a short sleep.

I didn’t want to be forced back into struggling to understand. So, with anxiety, I contacted my adviser to make a simple hearing plan which includes asking presenters to use a microphone for our lab meetings. It worked. Now, a few weeks later, my anxiety is gradually giving way to scientific curiosity and questions enabled by feeling included and worthy of belonging. A few of my lab mates have even thanked me because they, too, were unable to hear people without microphones. Maybe instead of rushing back to “normal”, we can all take this chance to create environments that are more welcoming — for everyone.

A．Failed.

B．Struggled.

C．Managed.

D．Prepared.

3. How did the author feel after online meetings?

A．Energetic.

B．Anxious.

C．Shocked.

D．Sleepy.

4. What message is mainly conveyed in the text?

A．Online meetings work well.	B．Cochleas help people with hearing loss.
C．Inclusion and belonging do matter.	D．Scientific curiosity leads to development.

9 . Despite all the training, when the day of my first track meet finally arrived, I didn't feel ready. I had been preparing for weeks, but I was still jittery. I didn't know what times I should run, and I didn't know how I was going to like competing.

Walking into the unfamiliar stadium for the meet, I immediately felt afraid. After warming up for a couple minutes, I relaxed a bit. Running has always come naturally to me, and participating in middle school track never made me nervous.

I watched as my teammates prepared for their events. As the shot of the first gun rang out, my nervous expectation was replaced by anxiety. More and more of my teammates began to compete. As they made their way around the track and passed where we were seated, we cheered them on. During this time, any chance of returning to a state of relaxation disappeared.

A half hour passed, and my mind was only filled with thoughts of failure. The terrible race was approaching. The closer I got to race time, the tighter the knots in my stomach became. The list of reasons why I didn't want to run grew. Perhaps I truly forgot what I loved most about running. The girls around me were unfamiliar, and stepping out onto the track put my tension at an all­time high. I can't do this!

The shot of the gun frightened me into running. The negative thoughts in my head disappeared. My competitive spirit wanted to show my talents. I passed one girl, then another, and another. With my second­place medal, I won a huge victory. Most importantly, I learned that running is not always about beating the person in front of you; it is about defeating the person inside of you.
