“Umming” and “ahhing” is often seen as a weakness. In fact , such hesitation could be key to learning to speak. A study found that toddlers (初学走路的孩子）used their parents …ums? ,and …ahs' as a signal that an important word was going to follow, and they would open ears for what came next which helps them remember hundreds of new words they hear.

The researchers studied three groups of children between the ages of 18 and 30 months. Each child sat on his parents legs in front of a computer showing pictures of familiar things ，like a ball or a book, and a picture of a made up thing. The youngsters then listened as voice talked about the objects When the voice started umming and ahhing, the children unconsciously looked at the made-up pictures much more often than the familiar pictures—suggesting it had suddenly become important to them.

Researcher Celeste Kidd said, 4< Were not advocating that parents add pauses to their speech > but I think its nice for them to know that using these pauses is okay. ?，Richard Aslin, a professor, pointed out that toddlers have a lot of information to process while they are listening to an adult speak，including many words that they have never heard before. If a child s brain waits until a new word is spoken ，itll try to figure out what it means. He added, “The more predictions a listener can make about what is being communicated, the more efficiently he can understand it. ” So it is much better to communicate with children even with umming and ahhing than let them sit in front of the TV.

A. children were fond of familiar things

B. voice helped children talk about objects

A. Hesitation is greatly encouraged in the speech of adults

B. Parents should communicate with their babies on purpose

C. Umming and ahhing is a social skill to start a conversation

A recent National Public Radio program examined the disappearance of some of the first words we were probably taught—“please” and “thank you. ?，Other polite phrases are also disappearing.” You re welcome” has been replaced by “sure，” “no problem，?? “you bet” or “enjoy”.

Are we becoming ruder, or are patterns of speech merely updating for changing times?

Peter Post, director of the program, argues about people stopping using “you're welcome”. He says,

“Thank you” is an expression of appreciation one person offers to another. To respond “No problem” is to ignore this acceptance as really being undeserved. By responding with a simple “you?re welcome”，Post adds, a person admits the thanks and shows appreciation for the person giving it. Whatever polite vocabulary you believe is fading, sociologist Gregory E. Smith says that such fading is a sign were becoming ruder as a society. “Saying “please” and “thank you”，asking permission, offering help, and following up on solutions to problems are no longer as important，” he says. In 2011，76 percent of people surveyed said Americans are becoming less civil.

But could it be that it's simply the words we "re using that are changing? Actually, the principles of respect, consideration and honesty are universal and timeless, but manners do change. For example, its important to greet people when you meet them for the first time, though the form of greeting has changed over time. “How do you do?”，for instance, became “Hello”，And “how are you?” has been changed into “Hello ，how are things?” or “How?s it going?”. As for “no problem”，if the appreciation is expressed in a sincere manner, many—Americans think they do not see its use as a loss of politeness.

D. to put forward the argument

69.Peter Post thinks using “ You?re welcome” to reply to ”Thank you” is ______

A. more appropriate

B. a bit outdated C less polite D. really undeserved

70. From the passage we can infer that most Americans______

A. begin to overlook their polite speech

B. are unable to use a polite vocabulary

C. intend to advocate civilized lifestyles

D. are becoming ruder to each other

71.According to the text ，when you meet a person for the first time, ______

A. you should say “How do you do?” first

B. you still need to convey your greetings

C you?d better change your mann ers

D you must care about your expression

Here's one fact that the steady increase in the demand for meat products has in fact resulted in various problems for the environment. How on earth does that come about?

Firstly, the vital link here is methane(甲院）Methane, which is one of the greenhouse gases that are thinning down the ozone(臭氧）layer ，is a direct by-product of a cow's digestive process. The higher the demand for meat ，the greater the number of cows being raised, resulting in larger amounts of methane. According to a study conducted by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), roughly 17 - 18% of all greenhouse gas results from raising livestock(牲畜) That备actually more than the total greenhouse gas released by automobiles.

Secondly, since there s a lot of cash to be made in meat production, livestock farms have consistently been expanding for the past decades to accommodate a higher number of animals. This trend has been growing due to the ever-increasing popularity of fast-food enterprises which mainly serve meat products. As a result, livestock farms are using up more and more lands for pasture(牧场)，and are cutting down millions of trees in the process.

Thirdly, as livestock farms are located away from cities, their transportation to these cities cover long distances，which brings high fuel consumption as well as high carbon emissions.

So cutting down on your meat intake is therefore a reasonable step that will not only do both your health and the environment a huge favor,

72.The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that______

A. raising too many cattle increases the deamand for meat

B. methane is mainly produced in greenhouse

C. FAO urges people to slow down the cattle raising

D. cattle raising does change the thickness of the ozone layer

73.The cattle raising has been recently pushed forward directly by ______

A. increase in pastures

B. prosperity of fast-food industries

C. stock fanning development

D. transportation development

74.The text is mainly developed by______

A. offering explanations

B. giving examples

C. presenting figures

D. making comparisons

75.The author writes the text to tell us that______.

A. eating meat is bad for your health

B. cutting down cattle farms really matters

C. meat consumptions result in environmental problems

D. environmental protection is of great significance

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

Relationships make or break us. From the quality of our family time to our interactions at work, our relationships are largely responsible for our career success or failure. Here are some guidelines. People who focus on themselves when interacting with others rarely build positive lasting relationships. Instead，they should become good listeners and encourage others to talk about them-selves.

All the skills and education in the world will never impress anyone as much as sincere, heartfelt care for them. Plus, few things have a more positive effect on others than finding out and remembering things about them. Knowing a lot about people is a real display of your care for them，and it creates a lasting bond.

Give your relationship something positive when you meet，such as ideas，opportunities，and resources. Besides giving, be willing to receive from the other person. In fact, one of the best ways to start a relationship is to ask for advice or a favor. Everyone loves to show his expert knowledge

tesoon.feel honored and respected.

and authority on a subject, because it makes him com

Try to use conflict as a tool ，not a weapon. The presence of conflict in a relationship is natural and healthy. Damage only occurs when we react inappropriately to it. To learn more about the other person and find a solution that serves both of you, relationships could become stronger and deeper. Relationships break up quickly when others cant count on you, so say what you mean and stick to your word. Few things damage a friendship more severely than breaking a trust.

If people know more about the value of good relationships, they can achieve both personal satisfaction and professional success. If you aren?t naturally gifted in this area, don?t worry. You can

learn to improve them in your life acid career.
