IMAGINE that you are in school, giving a speech to your class.

Now think what it feels like when stammering(口吃)makes it a struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings to other people.

The King’s Speech, which won the best picture at

the Academy Awards, highlights(突出) stammering along with other speech-related problems. The movie tells the story of Britain’s King George Ⅵ, who became king after his brother Edward Ⅷ gave up the crown to marry an American woman.

As a result of British actor Colin Firth’s performance, people are starting to realize that stammering can damage a person’s self-confidence and cause him/her to escape from life.

“The problem is unseen and unheard,” said Norbert Lieckfeldt, an expert at the British Stammering Association, in an interview with The Guardian newspaper.

“Stammering masks(遮蓋) your ability,” he said, “It's a serious disability(殘疾).”

Most stammerers face bullying(欺負(fù)) in school, something that is “usually carried over into the workplace”.

George Ⅵ’s stammer took away his confidence as a speaker. But Samantha Mesango, a speech coach based in the UK, believes that speech problems are more common than most people realize. “Some simply don't like the sound of their own voice; others are scared of speaking in public,” she said.

Travis Treats from Saint Louis University’s department of communication sciences in the US, praised The King’s Speech. He said it shows that “how one’s speech does not mean what one is inside”.

He also added that people who stammer need to be heard and our society should recognize that they have a lot to give to the world.

1. What is the point of the first two paragraphs?

A. To tell readers about speech speaking.

B. To show how harmful a stammer is.

C. To draw the attention of readers to the problem of a stammer.

D. To show how a stammer makes a person popular

2. According to the article, King George Ⅵ _____.

A. was a hero during World War Ⅱ

B. took the place of his brother

C. married a divorced American woman

D. was a failure because of his stammer

3. What is Norbert Lieckfeldt’s view of the challenge of a stammer?

A. A stammer can destroy a person’s self-confidence.

B. A stammer is a serious problem for many people but it is often ignored.

C. People who stammer need to have their own voice.

D. People who stammer do better in work than in school.

Scott Langteau has this message for kids:Spend less time playing video games.

It's a message that many a mom and dad has tried to impress upon many a youngster(and some not?so?youngsters)who spends perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.

But the 40?year?old Langteau isn't a parent.He's experienced at video games-one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and co?founded his own game development company.

Langteau has just published a children's book called“Sofa Boy”,which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controllers held in hand and the rather dire consequences that follow.

It's a fairy tale picked straight from Langteau's own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his painful struggle against game addiction.But first,Langteau would like make one thing clear:I'm not saying that you shouldn't play video games.I think video games are great.I think they do great things for kids.Instead,Langteau says his book is all about a little something called“moderation(克制)”.

“It's about being well rounded,”he says.“Just like with anything else,we all need to make sure that there's a variety in what we do.”

Video gamers can be rather bad?tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment.And understandably so.After all,most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders-people who don't play video games and certainly don't understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.

But Langteau and“Sofa Boy”seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game masses might actually listen to.After all,this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games.His early experience has taught him a lesson.

1.Scott Langteau published “Sofa Boy” to ________.

A.share his great skills on games

B.warn kids against game addiction

C.tell about his fairy tale as a kid

D.deliver a message for games

2.Which of the following is TRUE of the book“Sofa Boy”?

A.The book tells of the writer's own story.

B.The book describes an experienced gamer.

C.The boy in the book wins a medal for games.

D.The boy in the book is not an addict on games.

3..We can learn from the passage that ________.

A.Langteau advises the young to play games within limits

B.Langteau advises the young not to play games

C.playing video games ruins the future of kids

D.playing video games is of no benefit to kids

4..By saying “It's about being well rounded” Langteau thinks ________.

A.games do great things for kids

B.gamers are usually fat and round

C.games should be viewed from all sides

D.gamers are to blame for their behaviors

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Kids who eat better perform better in school, a new study of Nova Scotia fifth?graders confirms.

Students who ate an adequate amount of fruit,vegetables,protein,fiber and other components of a healthy diet were significantly less likely to fail a literacy test,Dr.Paul J.Veugelers of the University of Alberta in Edmonton and colleagues found.

While a healthy diet is generally assumed to be important for good school performance, there has actually been little research on this topic, Veugelers and his colleagues note.To investigate,they looked at 4, 589 fifth?graders participating in the Children's Lifestyle and School?performance Study, 875 (19.1 percent) of whom had failed an elementary literacy assessment.

The better a student's eating habits based on several measures of diet quality,including adequacy and variety, the less likely he or she was to have failed the test, the researchers found,even after they adjusted the data for the effects of parental income and education, school and sex.Eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, and getting fewer calories from fat, was also associated with a lower risk of failing the test.

To date, Veugelers and his team say, most research on diet and school performance has focused on the importance of eating breakfast, as well as the ill effects of hunger and malnutrition(營養(yǎng)不良).

“This study extends current knowledge in this area by demonstrating the independent importance of overall diet quality to academic performance.We should not only realize the importance of children's nutrition at breakfast but also that throughout the day,” the researchers conclude.

Another research from the UK is suggesting that children's diets in the pre?school years affects how they perform at school later on.The researchers from the Institute of Education, at the University of London say in fact that what children were eating in those days before primary school has more of an effect than the chicken nuggets(塊) they ate at lunchtime.The researchers say they have found that children who ate a diet of “junk food” at the age of three, made less progress in school between the ages of six and ten.They say children's diet at later ages appears to have less impact on their school attainment.

1..According to Dr.Paul J.Veugelers, students who have a healthy diet________.

A.a(chǎn)re more likely to fail in their school performance

B.definitely can perform better in their school work

C.usually have more of fat and less of fruit and vegetables

D.tend to perform better in their school work

2..It can be implied from the passage that________.

A.little research has been done on the importance of breakfast

B.most students participating in the research failed the test

C.the adequacy and variety of foods can mean better school performance

D.eating more chicken nuggets leads to good school performance

3..The underlined word “l(fā)iteracy” (in Para.2) probably refers to ________.

A.the ability to read and write

B.a(chǎn) guessing game

C.the art of painting

D.the ability to handle practical task

4..Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Children should have more“junk food”at lunch time.

B.Pre?school diets can have more impact on children's school work.

C.A child who often has“junk food”at 3 is bound to fail in school work.

D.The older a child is,the more impact of what he eats has on school work.
