But 51 I could leave the room, I was 52 by my grandfathers loud voice. “Now 53 just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. 54 , he has to learn to do things for himself.”For the next two hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my 55 .

The Mattaponi have worked hard to keep their ancient way of life and customs(风俗). One purpose of their yearly powwow is to share these traditions with you.Mattaponi powwow and culture dayMay 1810:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.Adults (12 years and older) -$ 6.00Children-freeCome to spend the day with us near the Mattaponi River for an educational experience showing the customs of the Mattaponi. During this special day, American Indians (First Americans) will dance and play drums while dressed in traditional clothing. This year visitors may join in the dancing and drumming.Visitors will be able to see artists show their basket-making, pottery-making, and tool-making skills. American Indian storytellers will help you see how their habits are passed on to children through stories.Enjoy activitiesTaste American Indian foodsPlay American Indian childrens gamesListen to traditional songs and enjoy dancesNo petsBring your own lawn(草坪) chairs and blankets.61.What can we learn about the Mattaponi Reservation?A. It lies on the east coast of the US.B. Its powwow is held every other year.C. It is far away from the Mattaponi RiverD. Few of its people are interested in its old culture.62.If a 13-year-old wants to enjoy the day with her parents , they need to pay_.A. $ 6B. $12 C. $18D. $2463.On the Mattaponi powwow and culture day , visitors_.A. can watch both traditional and modern dances.B. can learn about the culture of American Indians.C. are expected to bring their own food and chairsD. are not allowed to dance with the MattaponiBImagine you are reading a story to children; the story goes something like this:“There are some persons at work who are really, really smart. They can figure out how to do things quickly. They come up with answers much faster and better than anyone else”Now imagine telling another story:“There are some persons at work who are really, really nice. They would like to help others with their problems, and they are friendly to everyone”At the end of each story, you show pictures of men and women to the children and ask them which persons they think are being described. What gender(性别) do you think they would pick for each story?This exact experiment was once carried out alongside a series of others as part of a recent study published in the journal Science. The scientists found that a childs perception(看法) of intelligence(智力) goes through great changes between the ages of 5 and 7. In the experiment, the 5-year-old boys and girls associated(联系) intelligence with their own gender at approximately equal levels. Just one year later, the 6-year-old girls were significantly less likely than the boys to associate intelligence with their own gender. At the age of 7, when given a choice of toys to play with, most of the girls chose not to play with games labelled for “really, really smart children”. Why dont our girls believe in themselves?With children growing up under all kinds of social influences, its hard to give the exact cause of this perception change. Evidence shows that some teachers treat behaviour of their students differently, unintentionally(无意地)praising boys more for academic performance and girls for being neat and tidy.Have you ever told a boy that he is really smart and a girl that she is really pretty? Subtle(微秒的) changes in language encourage girls not only to look in a certain way, but also to act in a certain way.Interestingly, one study getting data from Google searches has found that parents in the US are two and a half times more likely to ask “Is my son gifted?” than “Is my daughter gifted?” It has also found that parents in the US are twice more likely to google “Is my daughter overweight?” than “Is my son overweight?” For the record, boys are 9 percent more likely to be overweight than girls.Data from the Ministry of Education shows that just like the case that girls dont play with games labelled for “really, really smart children”, It seems that our female teenagers dont study the perceived “really, really smart subjects”.64. How did the six-year-old children view intelligence in the experiment?A. The boys tended to lose confidence in their intelligenceB. More boys than girls associated intelligence with their own gender.C. The girls thought that intelligence was less significant than neatness.D. An equal number of boys and girls linked intelligence with their own gender.65. Which would the author agree with?A. Boys and girls have different levels of intelligence.B. The academic performance of boys is better than that of girls.C. The perceived smart subjects are more suitable for girls.D. The language use can have an influence on girls self-confidence.66. What can we learn from the US parents Google searches?A. They tend to believe boys are smarter than girls.B. They are worried about their sons heavy weight.C. Different parents are concerned about different issues.D. They care more about their childrens health than their intelligence.67. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To prove girls are actually smarter than boys.B. To show the different opinions about intelligence.C. To ask us to tell different stories to boys and girls.D. To show the negative social influence on girls.CIf you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what
