3．A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture．A new finding suggests that parents，social workers，psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words．
While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion，those of children are known to be particularly influenced，said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University．Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally．
Previous research，for example，has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers； when asked，say"Did you drink juice at the picnic？"the child is likely to say"yes"even if no juice had been available．It is not that the child is consciously lying，but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory．
To avoid this problem，social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions，such as"What did you have at the picnic？"But an open-ended question paired with a gesture，briefly meaning a juice box，is treated like a detailed question．That is，children become likely to answer falsely．
And it isn't just a few kids：77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture．Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users，such as little kids，Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases．"It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children．"
In general，Broaders advises parents and other adults to"try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event．Otherwise，you might be getting answers that don't reflect what actually happened．"
32．According to the text，gesturesC．
A．have not any function at all
B．a(chǎn)re rarely used by people
C．have certain effect on children
D．a(chǎn)re often used by social workers
33．Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders？B
A．These gestures are very attractive．
B．Their memories are affected easily．
C．Children are easy to tell lies．
D．these gestures are used frequently．
34．According to the text，which of the following questions may cause a wrong reply？B
A．What will you have for lunch？
B．Did you cheat in the last English examination？
C．Where are you going Lucy？
D．Did you see anything else last night？
35．The underlined word"impart"in Paragraph 6meansD．
A．separate
B．tell apart
C．confuse
D．pass on．

分析 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，屬于說明文，一個簡單的手勢可以形成孩子的記憶如此之快，它將導致孩子給人們一個錯誤的回答一個問題伴隨著手勢，一項新發(fā)現(xiàn)表明，父母、社會工作者、心理學家和律師應該小心用手勢．本文以此展開，主要講述了手勢的影響．

解答 32．答案：C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture．可知，手勢對孩子有一定的影響．故選C． 
33．答案：B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion，those of children are known to be particularly influenced可知，孩子們的記憶很容易被影響．故選B．  
34．答案：B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)"Did you drink juice at the picnic？"the child is likely to say"yes"even if no juice had been available．It is not that the child is consciously lying，but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory．可知，與該問句"你野餐時和果汁了么"相似的為B選項．故選B．  
35．答案：D．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases可知，更廣泛的說，手的動作可以傳授不熟悉的詞匯和短語的意義．故impart意為傳遞．故選D．

點評 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，推理判斷題．做題時學生應仔細閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結合所給選項含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測．

14．Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money．（36）GSo you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things，candy or toys，for example．
The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services．It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have．If he wants to have a toy，give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier（收銀員）．（37）FWhen your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money，you can start explaining more complex ways of uing money．
Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty．（38）DIf you must say no to a child's request to spend money，explain，"You have enough toy trucks for now．"Or，if the request is for many different things，say，"You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy．"（39）A
Begin at the grocery store．Pick out two similar brands of a product---a name-brand butter and a generic （無商標產(chǎn)品），for example．You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money．（40）CIf he chooses the cheaper brand，allow him to make another purchase with the money saved．Later，you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases．

A．Wise decisions
B．The value of money
C．Permit the child to choose between them．
D．Tel your child why h can-or cannot---have certain things．
E．Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you
F．Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store．
G．The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest．

8．It is said that there's no such things as a free lunch，but even if you manage to bag a bargain meal，it will not taste as good as a more expensive choice，according to scientists．
A new study has found that restaurant goers who pay more for the food is tastier than offered for a smaller price．The experts think that people tend to associate cost with quality and this changes their perception（感知）of how food tastes．
Scientists at Cornell University studied the eating habits of 139people who enjoy an Italian buffet in a restaurant．The price of the food was set by the researchers at either 4or8for the all-you-can-eat meal．Customers were asked to rate how good the food tasted，the quality of the restaurant and to leave their names．
The experiment showed that the people who paid 8enjoyedtheirmeal11%morethanthosewhoatethe"cheaper"buffet．Interestinglythosethatpaidforthe4buffet said they felt guiltier about loading up their plates and felt that they overate．However，the scientists said that both groups ate around the same quantity of food in total．
Brian Wansink，a professor of consumer behavior at the university，said："we were fascinated to find that pricing has little effect on how much one eats，but a huge effect on how you interpret the experience．"He thinks that people enjoyed their food more as they associated cost with quality and that small changes to a restaurant can change how tasty people find their meals．
In a previous study，researchers from the university showed that people who eat in bright lighting consume more than eat in less brightly lit areas．

28．We can learn from the passage thatA．
A．there were 139subjects involved in the new study
B．a(chǎn) free lunch might be as delicious as you expected
C．the high pricing will change the exact taste of the food
D．in the experiment，the price of the food ranged from 4 to10
29．Which of the factors has an effect on the quantity of food a person consumes？D
A．The taste of the food．
B．The price of the food．
C．The number of companions．
D．The lighting of the restaurant．
30．Who will benefit from the new study？A
A．The person who runs a restaurant．
B．The person who often eats outside．
C．The person who works on decoration．
D．The person who studies in university．

Treadmill desk-related shame is their biggest obstacle，they say when LifeSpan installs two in opposite ends of the same building，neither tends to get used．If the company installs two next to each other，people will use them．"You don't want to be so noticeable，especially at work，"company spokesman James Lowe says．What's more，what if we get sweaty using a treadmill in the office？

7．When I was nine years old，I loved to go fishing with my dad．But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything．I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why．He always answered，"Son，if you want to catch a fish，you have to think like a fish．"I remember being even more upset then，because"I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish．Besides，I reasoned，how could what I think influence what a fish does？
As I got a little older，I began to understand what my dad really meant．So，I read some books on fish．And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings．I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature．That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer．Besides，water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade…The more I understood fish，the more I became effective at finding and catching them．
When I grew up and entered the business world，I remember hearing my first boss say，"We all need to think like sales people．"But it didn't completely make sense．My dad never once said，"If you want to catch a fish，you need to think like a fisherman．"What he said was，"You need to think like a fish．"Years later，with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me，I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers．It is not an easy job．I will show you how in the following chapters．
42．What did the writer's father really mean？C
A．To read about fish．
B．To learn fishing by oneself．
C．To understand what fish think．
D．To study fishing in many ways．
43．According to the writer，fish are most likely to be foundD．
A．in deep water on sunny days     
B．in deep water on cloudy days
C．in shallow water under sunlight     
D．in shallow water under waterside trees
44．After entering the business world，the writer found．B
A．it easy to think like a customer    
B．his father's fishing advice inspiring
C．his first boss's sales ideas reasonable
D．it difficult to sell services to poor people
45．This passage most likely comes fromA．
A．a(chǎn) popular sales book      
B．a(chǎn) fishing magazine
C．a(chǎn) novel on childhood      
D．a(chǎn) text book about fish．
