I read a letter of a mother of a gifted child to an expert with gifted children stating that her son was always complaining that he doesn’t like his teacher for she talks in baby language and she lets them sing baby songs. Having an insufficient(不足夠的) understanding of being different from their normally developing classmates, gifted children may find themselves wanting to learn more than being boxed with other kids of their age. They want to quench(解渴) their thirst for knowledge. However, in the process, they tend to develop negative(負(fù)面的) thoughts about school and teachers. Thus, they tend to exhibit behavioral problems.
Behavioral problems of gifted children could be mainly correlated(相關(guān)的) to their asynchronous(不同步的) development. This development means that the child has uneven(不均衡的) development in their mind, body and emotions. To explain further, a gifted child may live in different ages at once. He may show high intellectual(智力的) capabilities at some point but the time his emotions rule, he would go back to his true age going through tantrums(脾氣發(fā)作) and endless sobbing(哭泣). He maybe find it happy playing with kids his age but the next day, he would be bored with that and he would find conversing with older kids to be more challenging.
Because of high intellectual level, a gifted child often acts differently in his own classroom. He has the thinking of being above from the rest of his classmates when it comes to grades, academic awards and school recognitions. In classroom discussions, the child may be very cooperative(合作的) having advanced knowledge in the lessons but it is mostly that he will suffer from boredom as he is not challenged by the lessons and he would feel no improvement with them

  1. 1.

    Which of the following best explains the asynchronous development?

    1. A.
      A child has good development both in mind and body
    2. B.
      A child cannot get along well with his classmates
    3. C.
      A child is intellectually developed but not equal with emotionally
    4. D.
      A child doesn’t feel happy with his school and teachers
  2. 2.

    What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?

    1. A.
      How a gifted child gets along with his classmates
    2. B.
      How to get a gifted child involved(被卷入) in a classroom discussion
    3. C.
      What can arouse(激發(fā)) a gifted child’s interest
    4. D.
      How a teacher should handle a gifted child in class
  3. 3.

    We can infer from the passage that ______

    1. A.
      we needn’t pay special attention to gifted children
    2. B.
      a gifted child is well above others in every way
    3. C.
      it’s best to teach a gifted child separately
    4. D.
      teaching a gifted child can be challenging
CDD
1.根據(jù)Behavioral problems of gifted children could be mainly correlated(相關(guān)的) to their asynchronous(不同步的) development. This development means that the child has uneven(不均衡的) development in their mind, body and emotions.及下文描述,可知選C,一個(gè)孩子智力發(fā)達(dá),但是與情感發(fā)展不平衡。
2.根據(jù)最后一段描述,可知這篇短文主要講述了是,老師在課堂上如何對(duì)待一個(gè)天才的孩子。故選D。
3.通過(guò)閱讀短文可知,那些有天賦的學(xué)生由于情感發(fā)展的不平衡,所以老師不能用那些通常的方法,故對(duì)老師來(lái)說(shuō)很有挑戰(zhàn)性,故選D。

Great Minds Reminded of Mom
After a long, exhausting day, a friend of mine, Allen, headed home. On the road, he passed an elderly woman who was standing by a car with a flat tire. If that were his mother, he thought, he would want someone to help her. With a tired sigh, he turned around and drove back.
Just as he reached the stranded woman, a truck pulled up and a burly farmer got out. "Kindof reminds you of your mom, too?" the man asked as the two of them pitched in together to change the tire for the woman.

Welcome to my Message Board!
Subject Slimming down classics?
Mr.
Handsome

2007-5-12&24
AM
Orion Books,which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics(經(jīng)典著作),is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L.Tolstoy,M.Mitchell and C.Bronte.Now,each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to   40  per cent of the original,with words,sentences,paragraphs and,in a few cases,chapters removed.The first six shortened editions,all priced at £6.99 and advertised as great reads “in half the time”,will go on sale next month,with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow.The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions.
Mr.
Edwards

Well,I’m publisher of Orion Group.Thanks for your attention,Mr.Handsome.
I must say,the idea developed from a game of “shame”in my office.Each of us was required to confess(承認(rèn))to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading.I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times.One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping(跳讀)Jane Eyre.We realised that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones.
As a leading publishing house,we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it’s not as if we’re withdrawing the original versions.They are still there if you want to read them.
Ms.Weir

2007-5-12

I’m director of the online bookclub www.lovereading.co.uk.
Mr.Edwards,I think your shortened editions is a breath of fresh air.I’m guilty of never having read Anna Karenina,because it’s just so long.I’d much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book.I am looking forward to more shortened classics!
Mr.
Crockatt

2007-5-124:38 PM
I’m from the London independent bookshop Crockatt & Powell.
In my opinion,the practice is completely ridiculous.How can you edit the classics?I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work,and that is why you have to develop as a reader.If people don’t have time to read Anna Karenina,then fine.But don’t read a shortened version and kid yourself it’s the real thing.
【小題1】According to the message board,Orinon Books_______.
A.opposes the reading of original classics
B.is embarrassed for cutting down classics
C.thinks cut-down classics have a bright future
D.is cautious in its decision to cut down classics
【小題2】In Mr.Edwards’ opinion,Orion Group is shortening classics to_______.
A.make them easier to read
B.meet a large demand in the market
C.increase the sales of literary books
D.compete with their original versions
【小題3】By describing the shortened classics as “a breath of fresh air”,Ms.Weir_______.
A.speaks highly of the cut-down classics
B.shows gailty of the original classics
C.feels guilty of not reading the classics
D.disapproves of shortening the classics
【小題4】Mr.Crockatt seems to imply that_______.
A.reading the classic works is a confusing attempt
B.shortening the classics does harm to the original
C.publishing the cub-down classics is a difficult job
D.editing the classic works satisfies children’s needs

 Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with  26  problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客).In many ways, a diary and a blog are very  27  .But what makes blogging different from writing in a(n) 28  diary?

       The biggest difference is that a blog is much more   29   than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   30   that he does not want to   31  with others.

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   32  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   33  . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  34  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   35  in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was  36  that my sister might read it.

The biggest   37   with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   38  about him in my diary, he would never know.  39  ,  if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might   40  her blog and get angry.

There are also   41   to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would   42  about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly   43   and tell her how much they  44   her. Blogs help people   45  in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

1.A. the same B. interesting  C. difficult D. daily
