about new technological development, seek better selfunderstanding, or develop new talents and skills.

and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs, and professional associations.
3. _____
     Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the
rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were
moving from rural areas to cities: new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.
These and other factors produced a need for further education and reeducation of adults.
4. _____
     The earliest program of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the
founding of an adult school at Nottingham and a mechanics' institute at Glasgow.The earliest adult
education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in
Philadelphia in 1727.
5. _____
     People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today.For
example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining
programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up
constantly to meet these and other needs.

     Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness,  anger,  hurt,  sadness.We need emotions to process
information we receive and decide how to respond.Being afraid of fast cars,  for example,  is something
that might protect us from harm.Being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into
trouble.
     Fears in young children commonly center on certain animals like snakes or big dogs.Fears are caused
often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others,  and at times,  the media.Many normal fears
during the early years,  like men with beards,  or large dogs,  disappear with age.Those relating to
personal failure and ridicule (嘲笑) remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome.
     Children's fears are often small,  but that doesn't mean they should be dismissed as trivial (微不足道的). They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child.Only when we help children
understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to settle them.
     Research shows that as a child grows up,  the center of his fears changes a lot.Things like divorce,  a
teacher who "shouted at me",  people with guns,  bullies,  big boys,  or "making fun of me" top the list of
childhood fears."
     We cannot always prevent these experiences from happening,  but it is essential that children be
allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment.Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease
pain of these fears.Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar
fears.This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope.With all emotions,  fears become
less of a problem for children as they gain selfconfidence and they find that fear is normal and can be
dealt with.

1. According to Paragraph 2,  we can know that fears in young children________.

A. only center on frightening animals
B. are not born but learned
C. can make sure of their safety
D. need special help to deal with

2. Children's fears are often ignored because________.

A. they exist widely in the world
B. they will disappear with age
C. people thought they are not worth considering
D. they are often imaginary

3. In dealing with children's fears,  the final goal of the parents is to________.

A. stop unpleasant experiences happening to children
B. let children know about the nature of fear
C. create an environment where there is nothing to fear
D. develop children's ability to treat their fears on their own

4. From the passage we can learn that________.

A. some childhood fears may have a lasting influence
B. children should avoid the media to reduce their fear
C. fears can be judged according to the environment
D. children with similar fears can communicate easily

5. What's the best title for this passage?

A. Children's fears.
B. How to overcome children's fears.
C. The kind of children's fears.
D. The bad effects of fears.

     Go ahead, talk to your dog.
     As many a dog owner will prove, our furry friends are listening.Now, for the doubters, there is
scientific proof that they understand much of what they hear.A border collie called Rico can fetch at
least 200 objects by name, researchers in Germany say.The dog also appears to learn words for new
objects as easily as a 3yearold child would.Its wordlearning skill is as good as that of a parrot or
chimpanzee.
     In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided
them randomly into 20 sets of 10 objects each.The dog waited with one of his owners in one room,
while an experimenter put a set of 10 objects into another room.Then, the owner told the dog to fetch
one of the items.  The dog had to go to the other room and bring the object back
     In four trials, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right.Because the dog couldn't see anyone to get visual
clues about what to bring back, the scientists concluded that he must understand the meanings of certain
words.
     In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a
room with seven toys whose names he already knew.The dog's owner then told him to fetch the object,
using a word Rico had never heard.
     In 7 out of 10 trials, Rico picked the right object, suggesting that he figured out the answer by
process of elimination.A month later, he remembered half of the new names, which further impressed the
researchers.
     Rico is probably smarter than the average dog, the scientists say.For one thing, he's a border collie,
a breed known for its mental abilities.In addition, the 9yearold dog has been trained to retrieve toys by
their names since he was 9 months old.
     It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say.Even if they do, they can't
talk back.Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweettalk your pup every now and then.You might just get a big, wet
kiss in return!

1. It is implied that________.

A. Rico is probably cleverer than the average dog
B. Only a few dogs can talk back to its owner
C. if a chimpanzee is trained, it can also recognize the names of objects
D. All dogs can understand words

2. How long is it since Rico's owner began to train him?

A. nine months  
B. 3 years.
C. over nine years.  
D. more than eight years.

3. Rico can do all the following except________.
A. understanding the meanings of certain words
B. picking the right object by process of elimination
C. remembering all of the new names he learned
D. retrieving toys by their names

swimming pool, or a treelined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even
walking.Heck, merely standing in waisthigh water is a good exercise, thanks to the action of the water.And you will feel so much more alive!
     Many of us spend a large piece of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing.But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don't happen in a car seat.Don't wait for tiredness or nature's call to get you to pull over.Frequently get out

A. Reasons for Having Large Families in Some Countries.
B. Calculation of Population Growth.
C. Efforts Made to Lower the Mortality Rate (死亡率)
D. High Fertility Rates in Developing Countries.
E. Low Fertility Rates in Developed Countries.
F. Birth Control Programs.
1. _____
     Population growth is determined by the relationship between births and deaths.The growth rate is
calculated by the birth rate minus the death rate.If the birth rate is 4%, for example, and the death rate
is 3%, the population growing at rate of 1% per year.
2._____
     Historically, families had many children, but average life expectancies are low and many children died
young.Improvements in nutrition and public health programs in the past 30 years have led to a drop in
the mortality rate and hence to more rapid population growth.
3._____
     Public health programs and improved nutrition over the past 30 years have brought about declines in
mortality rates in the developing nations.But fertility rates (出生率) have not declined as quickly, and the
result has been high rates of population growth.Reduced population growth depends to some extent on
decreased birth rates.
4._____
     Family planning and modern forms of birth control are important mechanisms for decreasing fertility,
but by themselves such programs have had rather limited success in most countries where they have been
tried.If family planning strategies are to be successful, they must make sense to the people who are
supposed to benefit from them.
5. _____
     To a great extent, in developing countries people want large families because they believe they need
them.In some societies, children are important sources of farm labor, and they may thus make significant
contributions to household income.In societies without any social security programs for the aged, children may also provide a vital source of income for their old parents.

     Do you know how to be happy? Here are six ways for you to find more pleasure in your life.
Play that song you love so much. As a preschooler can tell you, repetition can lead to pleasure. 
When you experience something more than once, you notice more details about it each time, and it 
increases your enjoyment. That's why you love revisi ting that jazz club, favourite restaurant, and 
beloved old Woody Allen movie. Of course, you can overdo it.
     Don't buy boxed sets of DVDs. Economist(經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家) Tyler says that much of the joy we get 
from our buying lies in the experience of finding them out, getting them home, and opening them up. 
If you receive 18 DVDs in one package, you'll use up the excitement all at once. Buy things one a time 
and space out the pleasure.
     Look outside. People long ago spent almost all of their time outside with trees, water, and sky 
around. The world in which most of us spend our time nowadays is unnatural and can harm the spirit. 
Even being close to nature for a short time can make us happy. ________. Physical contact with 
animals works wonders. You can pet an animal. It increases the brain chemicals connected with 
pleasure and decreases those connected with stress(壓力). Even people without pets can get some 
of the effect by hanging out for a few minutes at a dog shelter.
     Smile. Well, like it or not, smiling improves your mood. Here's why: people react better to you 
when you look happy, which in turn leads you to be happy. What's more, looking happy fools your
brain into thinking that you are happy.
1. According to the writer, buying things one at a time can ____________.
A. helps us save some money.
B. spare time for other activities
C. increase our experience of happiness
D. give us more time to consider buying things.
2. What's the best title for Paragraph 5 ?
A.  Exercise the brain              
B. Pet an animal
C.  Reduce work stress             
D. Hang out more often

A. Smiles fools others' mood.  
B. Repetition results in pleasure.  
C. Animals adds to your stress.  
D. Spending time outside harms your spirit.

A. The effect of pleasure on life.   
B. The writer's own experience.
