Yet doctors in theUnited States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings. One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was bom, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children's activities and did not interfere(干预) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression. The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.1、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?A.

A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months oldText 2Chinese artist Huang Yue's personal exhibition of flower and bird oil paintings opened at the Peking University library in China's capital, Beijing, on Tuesday.Traditionally, Chinese artists have used ink painting to express the beauty of flowers and birds, but artist Huang Yue has carried on that tradition by combining it with Western style oil painting. Flower and bird ink painting, a traditional art form that's unique to China, originated during the Tang Dynasty (618907). Since then, Chinese artists have expressed their emotions with gradations (层次)only in ink, with little color to stress scenes. Its appearance differs greatly from those ofWestern oil paintings, where plentiful colors and textures （纹理）are used to create depth and abstractness. The artist said that his paintings are neither the traditional ink paintings of flowers and birds nor Western style oil paintings. Huang Yue's oil paintings of flowers and birds exist somewhere between the two, and it's completely new and innovative.The exhibition, Nature's Divine Impressions, was initiated by the famous philosophy professor Zhang Shiying and is co-hosted by Peking University Peiwin Education Corporation and Huang Yue Art Foundation. Professor Zhang said Huang's paintings are not limited by any traditional techniques of artistic expression.Huang started combining Chinese and Western styles of painting in 2000.

Huang Yue-A Famous Artist in ChinaText 3When I was three years old, I couldn't speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.One day, I was shadowing（总艮随）my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic （模仿）her mouth's movements until I formed a word.It turned out Fm deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, butI've never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That's my reality when I sleep on my ngood ear", and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.People call my deaf side my "bad ear1', but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.Owning a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, "Aren't those for old men?" At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.But it's not just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles（字幕），for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations - I'm lucky. Tm deaf, but I can still hear everything. Pve been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I'm even superhuman.1、How does the author view his hearing difficulty?A. It s a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.B.

His family and classmates have supported him a lot.D. The hearing aid brings much convenience to his daily life.3、What is the author's attitude toward his life ?A. grateful.B. anxious.C. excited.D. disappointed.4> What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?A. To give advice on life to disabled people.B. To show how difficult life is for disabled people.C. To share his experience of treating a disadvantage with gratitude.D.
