They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems. The students were randomly divided into two groups; half took part in the intervention, which included a teacher-led curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and lessons in self-control and social skills. The program, which lasted from firstgrade through 10th grade, reduced delinquency（少年犯罪），arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood.In another latest study, by looking at the data from nearly 900 students in previous findings, researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outcomes was due to the social and self-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.The academic skills, or hard skills like learning of physics, which were taught as part of Fast Track, turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional（情绪的） intelligence. Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the long-term consequences when they make a decision.Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children as should education policymakers. To the extent we can improve those skills, we can improve outcomes in delinquency.1、Fast Track was intended for children who.A. were randomly chosen from their schoolsB , had some problems with academic learningC - often went against their teachers and parents' wishesD , were considered to have criminal trouble in the future2、What can be learned about nthe interventionn in Paragraph 2?A.

Soft Social Skills MatterB. Fast Track Helps ChildrenC. How to Prevent DelinquencyD. What to DO for EducationText 3nJoe? Is that you?'1 The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. nMarci?n I asked."It IS you!n she cried out, smiling broadly. nGosh, it's good to see you again!"It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I've wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.We spent a few minutes talking about our lives-the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment "You know, Joe J she said, " I've always wanted to tell you.how.how sorry I am for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally. I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her. “It's OK J I said, “No big deal!” "But I was such a jerk?9 she continued. Yes you were, I thought. "We were both pretty young,“ I smiled. UI know." she said, "It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And Fve wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.”The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes-it looked a lot like relief. "OK,” I said. "Apology accepted!?, Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.It isn't enough to just say 'Tm sorry" and "You're forgiven.n But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul-even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.1、What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?A. Happy. B. Busy. C. Hard. D. Simple.2、What does the underlined word “jerk” in the third paragraph mean?A , A humorous person.B. A cruel person.C A careless person.D. An honest person.3、Why did Marci look in relief after talking with the author?A. Because her favorite team won the game.B. Because she learned Joe was living a good life.C. Because she made an apology to the author.D. Because she found she was not mean any longer.4、What might be the best title for the passage?A , Excitement of A Baseball GameB.
