A

I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view. Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth. It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr. Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks. Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（样本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s,taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels. I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices. 1. According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels______. A. sick

B. upset

C. sleepy

D. hungry 2. What does the author think about Dr. King? A. He is strict.

B. He is unkind. C. He has the wrong idea.

D. He sets a timetable for mothers 3. The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________. A. basic

B. reliable

C. surprising

D. interesting B For high school leavers starting out in the working world，it is very important to learn

particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习). In some countries，schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the Unites States，however，such programs are still few and far between.

Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses，students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school，graduate and go on to higher education.

In Germany，students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.

But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert

Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s

most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills.

Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high sch001. James Madison High School in New York，for example，encourages students to choose classes on career—based courses. The school then helps them gain on—the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.

However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work，the job market is daunting. In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.

“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the Summer job experience，they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job，”said Michael，a researcher in the US.

4. In the author’s opinion, American high school leavers _______.

A. have enough career-related courses

A. Arguments about recent US education reform.

B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.

C. The lack of career—based courses in US high schools.

D. Advice for American high school leavers.

6. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probably means___________.

C British Prime Minister Tony Blair admitted on a television program that he has never sent

5

flowers to his wife Cherie and that Hollywood beauty Grace Kelly was his dream lover.

Blair，who allowed Channel 4 interviewer June Sarpong to shadow him for two days last month，made other personal revelations(被曝光的秘闻) when asked questions he rarely heard on the usual television political programs.

During the interview for a program targeting 18-to-30-year-olds，the prime minister admitted that he sometimes had to “wing it” when making public appearances and that he wanted to go out for a drink without being recognized.

However，the most dramatic revelation was his reply to Sarpong’s question whether he still sends his wife flowers. “I’ve never sent her flowers.

If I sent her flowers，she will get worried，”Blair said. But he added，“I am romantic.

There are other ways of being romantic.”

Blair needed a few moments to recall which posters he had on his bedroom wall as a youngster，and then revealed，“I’ll tell you...actually，when I was younger，I loved Grace Kelly.”

Blair admitted he initially found it “odd” to be prime minister and to be rushed in motorcades from appointment to appointment，and worried that his lifestyle left him “a bit isolated” from ordinary people.

He admitted that he was constantly on the phone between public appearances，and rarely had time to prepare for his next event，telling Sarpong，“I wing it all the time.”

Asked what he would do if he could be invisible for a day，Blair said he would “just walk down the street and go to the pub...just be absolutely normal”.

7. What does the underlined word “shadow” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Follow and interview.

B. Shade.

C. Stay with.

D. Keep away from.

8. Which word can be used to describe Blair according to this passage?

A. Blair didn’t take his public appearances seriously.

B. Blair didn’t know what to say before the public.

C. Blair often had to do or talked about something without preparation.

D. Blair wanted to get away from the public.课后巩固案
