1、 Would you like to have a brother or sister? Months ago this might have sounded impossible to many. But with the end of China’s “one-child policy”, this could actually happen now.1. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children, which means that many Chinese children may have siblings (兄弟姐妹)in the future.
2. Having a sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to Laura, a professor of family research from the US. University, “Siblings give kids something that parents can’t” she said.3.你在家也许不再感到孤单 because there is someone else to play with and you can also talk about different things and share secrets with each other.
But there are downsides, too. You need to share things with your siblings, including attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and even the TV. There could be lots of competition, fights and even hair- pulling. “Children with siblings need to learn to compromise (妥协)and control their feelings,” said Laura.
Even the birth order can make a difference. US Psychologist (心理学家)4. Kevin Leman said that the birth order decides how parent treat their children. Leman explained that parents are usually very nervous and strict, with their first child, so firstborns are often responsible and eager to succeed. 5.当一对夫妇有第二个孩子时,他们没那么严厉并且规矩也会少些, so late-born kids are usually funny and creative.

25、 Computers help humans with a lot of things, from searching information to math. Now, they may be able to help us in more complex (复杂的) ways. Recent research has showed a new computer program that can recognize human emotions (情感) , simply based on how they type.
Researchers from the Islamic University of Technology in Bangladesh asked a group of people to type two paragraphs from Lewis Carroll’s novel Alice in Wonderland. The participants (参与者) then chose an emotional state they felt while typing. Moods tested were joy, fear, anger, sadness, disgust (反感) , shame and guilt (内疚).
Then the researchers put the text into the computer to study. Surprisingly, the computer was right 70 percent of the time in telling the participants’ emotional states. The most correct emotions it guessed correctly were joy (87 percent) and anger (81 percent). The least accurate emotion the computer guessed was sadness (60 percent).
However, the computer program is limited in what it can do. But scientists believe that it will help humans in the future.
“If we could build any system that is intelligent enough to communicate with humans that involved emotions... then using machines could be more effective and friendly,” the researchers wrote in study. For example, when looking for a movie online, perhaps a computer program could make suggestions for films that would match your mood.
And as the researchers said, this type of computer program could also help humans in a number of ways. First, with online teaching, emotionally intelligent computers could change its teaching style or content (内容) to help students learn better. Second, with online chatting, doctors could be able to tell the emotion of a patient.
【1】What did the researchers ask the people to do?
A.To search information.
B.To work out math problems.
C.To make a computer program.
D.To type paragraphs from the novel.
【2】How many kinds of moods could be tested according to the passage?
A.Three.
B.Five.
C.Seven.
D.Nine.
【3】________ was the least correct emotion the computer guessed according to the passage.
A.Sadness
B.Fear
C.Anger
D.Joy
【4】What can the computer program help students to do?
A.Change the teaching style.
B.Learn better.
C.Tell a patient’s feeling.
D.Keep healthy.
【5】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Human body feels computer.
B.Computer feels human body.
C.Human emotions feel computer.
D.Computer feels human emotions.
26、Love, joy, and the warm feeling of pulling together to get through tough times don’t cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So, what’s a poor family to do?
When Christmas season rolled around, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. However, my mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one.
On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit card bill. While my mother and I were paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ll be right back — I need to see something in the tool department.” A little later, my dad came back with a long box. I remember wondering at that moment if there was a pogo stick in that box.
When we got home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I hoped a pogo stick would be inside — but when I opened it, there was just an old broom. And so it looked like Christmas morning would be disappointing.
But after all the wrapping paper was cleaned up, my dad said he needed to tend to something in the garage. When he came back in, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe it!
My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.
Although we didn’t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. My dad worked hard to support our family and my mother knew how to stretch a dollar. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful Christmas memories every year during the holiday season. My parents were the best and I will never forget all the joy they brought into my life.
