12、ts during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may scar a childs personality and lead to psychological problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work that children should not be subjected to day care before three because of the parental separation it

13、 causes, and many people do believe this.According to Bowlby, a great deal of psychological harm can occur when young children are separated from their parents. If they are left without touch for a while, they will have a higher stress level. Parents influence on their childrens well-being may never

14、 be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a childs brain is developing rapidly and when nearly all of her or his experiences are shaped by parents and the family environment.However, there are critics. Some anthropologists (人類學(xué)家) point out that the love affair between children and par

15、ents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. There has been a long history of the fact that father and mother did not bring up their children alone. Plato, around 394 BC, argued that a system of early child care would free women to participate in society. Results f

16、rom Israeli and Dutch studies show that child-raising duties are more evenly distributed among a broader group of people.Besides, studies have reported that early day care has a neutral or slightly positive effect on childrens development. They learn the benefits of being socially smart, understandi

17、ng the concept of sharing and caring. They promote concentration skills, which is very important in their learning. There are games where children are taught basic language and mathematical skills through stories and everyday examples.Common sense tells us that early day care would not be so widespr

18、ead if children had problems with it. But Bowlbys analysis raises the possibility that it has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find t

19、he immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three dislike leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three almost all children find it easy to go to the nursery. The matter, then, is far from being clearly known, though experience and available evidence indicate that e

20、arly day care is reasonable for young children.1、The passage mainly argues whether _.Achildren over three will accept school educationBchildren under three should be sent to nursery schoolsCthe family relationship is different in traditional societiesDearly day care should be totally replaced in mod

21、ern societies2、Which of the following supports Bowlbys theory?AEarly day care wouldnt be so popular if it had negative effects.BSeparation from parents for young children is common in history.CParents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal with.DStudies show early day care ha

22、s a positive effect on childrens development.3、The authors attitude towards early day care is that _.Achildren under three should stay with their parentsBit has potential benefits for both children and parentsCthe bad effect of it on children will disappear as they grow upDit is controversial and th

She and her colleagues invited 51 young men into the lab

24、 for 3 hours of tests. They showed each man 180 food items on a computer. Each time, they asked the men to judge how healthy, tasty and appealing the food was.Then the researchers stressed out 29 of the men. They did this by asking each to put one hand in ice water for three minutes. If the water wa

25、s too unpleasant, the volunteers could remove their hands, but must continue looking into a video camera. The men were also encouraged to put their hands back into the cold water. All the while, a researcher watched and videotaped the ordeal (考驗(yàn)). Another 22 men held one hand in warm water. They wer

26、e not videotaped.Afterward, the researchers showed each man a series of two food items. They did this 210 times. And before making choices, the men were told to choose the healthier of the two items. When the testing was over, the scientists gave the volunteers a snack. Each man got one of the items

27、 he had said that he preferred. Despite being coached to choose healthy foods, the stressed men proved more likely to pick the less healthy.The researchers also performed brain scans of the volunteers. It showed what part of the brain was active as they made their choices. “Our findings indicate tha

28、t stress affects the decision making,” Maiers team concluded. And it does this by changing two brain pathways. One affects sensory information, such as taste. The other affects a persons ability to make decisions such as eating what is good for us.More studies will be needed to confirm the new findi

29、ngs. But the early signs suggest that stress not only makes junk food more appealing, but also weakens the brains ability to resist eating it.1、How did the scientists mainly get the result?ABy doing experiments.BBy asking questions.CBy conducting surveys.DBy secret observations.2、The cold water used

30、 in the experiment may make men feelApleasantBfrightenedCrelaxedDstressed3、Why did the scientists scan the brains of the volunteers?AThey wanted to find the IQ of them.BThey wanted to observe the activities of their brains.CThey wanted to discover the potential disease of them.DThey wanted to know t

46、5（10分） 4-year-old Antonio Vicente has spent the last four decades of his life fighting against the trend. As Brazilian landowners cut down rainforests to make room for profitable plantations(種植園) and cattle grounds, he struggled to bring the jungles of his childhood back to life.“When I was a child,

47、 the peasants cut down the trees to make grasslands and charcoal, and the water dried up and did not come back,” he told the reporters, “I thought: Water is valuable, no one makes water and the population will not stop growing. What is going to happen? We are going to run out of water.”With only som

Over the last 40 years, he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31-hectare land, which now make up a small but unique area of rainforest, and a haven for wildlife.As the forest grew, the water returned, and Antonio says that there are now o
