　　If you are like most students ,you probably read both at home and outside your home: perhaps somewhere on your school yard and maybe even at work during your breaks .Your reading environment can have a great effect on your understanding ,so you give some thought to how you can create or choose the right reading environments .The environment allows to stay alter and to keep all of your attention on the text ,especially when it is both interesting and difficult .

　　When you are at home ,you can usually create effective conditions for reading .You might want to choose a particular place –a desk or table ,for example –where you always read .Make sure the place you choose is well lighted ,and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight .Reading in a chair that`s too soft and comfortable is likely you make you sleepy!Keep your active reading tools (pens ,markers ,notebooks or paper )and a dictionary close at hand .

　　Before you sit down for a reading period ,try to reduce all possible interruptions.Turn off your phone ,the television ,and the radio .tell your family members or roommates that you will be busy for a while .If necessary ,put a “Do not disturb ” sign on your door!The more interruptions you must deal with while you read ,the harder it will be to keep your attention on the task at hand .

　　What would be the best title for the text ?

　　What to Read  B.The Ways to Reduce Possible Interruptions

　　A

　　Grown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?

　　To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion(視覺影像)of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprised in their faces and movements, All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.

　　Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land?

　　Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The re-searcher substituted(替換) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch(更換).Thus,the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.

　　1.The passage is mainly about         .

　　A.babies’sense of sight

　　B.effects of experiments on babies

　　C.babies’understanding of objects

　　D.different tests on babies’feelings

　　2.In Paragraph 3, “object permanence” means that when out of sight ,and object            .

　　A.still exists  B.keeps its shape  C.still stays solid

　　3.What did Bower use in his experiments?

　　A.A chair     B.A screen    C.A film     D.A box

　　4. 39.Which of the following statements is true?

　　A.The babies didn’t have a sense of direction.

　　B.The older babies preferred toy trains to balls.

　　C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objects

　　D.The babies couldn’t tell a ball from its optical illu-sion.

　　The Three Gorges (三峽)Dam, the largest dam in the world ,is also the largest engineering project on the face of the earth. It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Changjiang River, into a tame river and it will be the largest power source for much of eastern and central China.It will create a huge, deep-water lake, and make it possible for 10,000 ton ocean going ships to sail 15,000 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing with its 30 million people, making it the word’s largest river port.
