You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Lets all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research say

24、s that those who cant seem to keep their inner monologue（独白）in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain 26 better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.According to a series of experiments published in quarterly journal of experimental psycholog

25、y by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to 27 mental pictures helps people function quicker.In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty 28 and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were 29 to repeat out loud what they wer

26、e looking for and the other half kept their lips 30 . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didnt, the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that 31 the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someones pace,

27、but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when youve 32 matured is not a great sign of 33 . The two professors hope to refute that idea, 34 that just as when ki

28、ds walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”.Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any

29、35 , theres still such a thing as too much information.A）apparentlyB）arroganceC）brillianceD）claimingE）dedicatedF）focusedG）incurH）instructedI）obscurelyJ）sealedK）spectatorsL）triggerM）utteringN）volumeO）volunteersSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements a

30、ttached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet

31、 2.Rich Children and Poor Ones Are Raised Very DifferentlyAThe lives of children from rich and poor American families look more different than ever before.BWell-off families are ruled by calendars, with children enrolled in ballet, soccer and after-school programs, according to a new Pew Research Ce

32、nter survey. There are usually two parents, who spend a lot of time reading to children and worrying about their anxiety levels and hectic schedules.CIn poor families, meanwhile, children tend to spend their time at home or with extended family, the survey found. They are more likely to grow up in n

33、eighborhoods that their parents say arent great for raising children, and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up or in trouble with the law.DThe class differences in child rearing are growing, researchers saya symptom of widening inequality with far-reaching consequences. Different u

34、pbringings set children on different paths and can deepen socioeconomic divisions, especially because education is strongly linked to earnings. Children grow up learning the skills to succeed in their socioeconomic stratum, but not necessarily others.E“Early childhood experiences can be very consequ

35、ential for childrens long-term social, emotional and cognitive development,” said Sean F. Reardon, professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University. “And because those influence educational success and later earnings, early childhood experiences cast a lifelong shadow.” The cy

36、cle continues: Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children, which can leave children less prepared for school and work, which leads to lower earnings.FAmerican parents want similar things for their children, the Pew report and past research have found: for them to b

37、e healthy and happy, honest and ethical, caring and compassionate. There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say, and across income groups, 92 percent of parents say they are doing a good job at raising their children. Yet they are doing it quite differently. Middle-class and highe

38、r-income parents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, whose groundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life. They try to develop their skills through close supervision and organized activiti

39、es, and teach children to question authority figures and navigate elite institutions.GWorking-class parents, meanwhile, believe their children will naturally thrive, and give them far greater independence and time for free play. They are taught to be compliant and deferential to adults. There are be

40、nefits to both approaches. Working-class children are happier, more independent, whine less and are closer with family members, Ms. Lareau found. Higher-income children are more likely to declare boredom and expect their parents to solve their problems. Yet later on, the more affluent children end u

41、p in college and enroute to the middle class, while working-class children tend to struggle. Children from higher-income families are likely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces, Ms. Lareau said.H“Do all parents want the most success for their children?

42、Absolutely,” she said. “Do some strategies give children more advantages than others in institutions? Probably they do. Will parents be damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity? No, I really doubt it.”ISocial scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents

43、have less money to spend on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events. Extracurricular activities epitomize the differences in child rearing in the Pew survey, which was of a nationally representative sample of 1,807 parents. Of familie

44、s earning more than $75,000 a year, 84 percent say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year, 64 percent have done volunteer work and 62 percent have taken lessons in music, dance or art. Of families earning less than $30,000, 59 percent of children have done sports, 37

45、 percent have volunteered and 41 percent have taken arts classes.JEspecially in affluent families, children start young. Nearly half of high-earning, college-graduate parents enrolled their children in arts classes before they were 5, compared with one-fifth of low-income, less-educated parents. Non

46、etheless, 20 percent of well-off parents say their childrens schedules are too hectic, compared with 8 percent of poorer parents.KAnother example is reading aloud, which studies have shown gives children bigger vocabularies and better reading comprehension in school. Seventy-one percent of parents w

47、ith a college degree say they do it every day, compared with 33 percent of those with a high school diploma or less, Pew found. White parents are more likely than others to read to their children daily, as are married parents. Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschool or day care, whi

48、le low-income parents are more likely to depend on family members. Discipline techniques vary by education level: 8 percent of those with a postgraduate degree say they often spank their children, compared with 22 percent of those with a high school degree or less.LThe survey also probed attitudes and anxieties. Interestingly, parents attitude
