As a parent you might never guess how it can benefit your child. It helps your child:Develop Social SkillsAs children play pretend games, they explore relationships between family members, friends and coworkers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Imaginative play helps of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They bee more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.Build Self-confidenceChildren have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers or a super hero defending the planet is inspiring to children. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.Promote Intellectual GrowthUsing imagination is the beginning of abstract thought. Children who can see a kings castle in a mound of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically(象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numbers symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on.Practice Language SkillsKids who pretend with their friends do a lot of talking. This helps increase their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and develop munication skills.Get Rid of FearsPretending can help children get rid of their fears and worries.

Advantages of Playing OutdoorsD. Skills in Playing pretend gamesBAlthough one might not think so as a result of the disadvantages, thousands and thousands of ads have shown advertising is of great importance to the society in which people live, either in the United Kingdom, or in many other parts of the world .Advertising is necessary as a means of municating with others, of telling them about the goods and services that are offered, and of which most of them would never get to hear at all if it were not for advertising. And advertising does a great deal to a rising standard of living conditions.In talking about advertisement, one should not think only a mercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspaper or magazines andin the sense of municationeven the spoken or written words of salesmen. After all, the roots of advertising are to be found in the market place in the ancient times.For many years it was thought that it was not enough to just produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that people came to understand the production of goods would be a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at fair price within a reasonable time period. In the petitive society in which we live, it is very important that we go out and sell what we have to offer, and advertising plays an important part, whether selling at home or in export market. Around 2 percent of the UK national product is spent on advertising. But it must be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to customers who do not buy them. Of course, advertising does try to catch the eyes of the buyer, but if the product one has bought does not match what the advertisement had described, it is extremely unlikely that the goods will sell well.25According to the text, advertising is important to_.A. every person in the world B. people with a high standard of livingC. some famous panies D. a large number of people in the world26What is the earliest advertisement in history?A. Shop window show and wrapping of the goods.B. Advertisements on TVC. face-to-face talks between sellers and buyersD. Products in many newspapers and magazines27The writer tries to tell us that goods will sell well if _.A. advertisements are well designedB. enough money is spent on advertisingC. they are of high quality and well wrappedD. advertisements mirror the true valueCWhen I was in the fifth grade and Mr. Gardner asked a question, my hand would often shoot up in enthusiasm. After giving me a few opportunities, he would try to give other students a chance. My hand, though, would remain in the air, and after some time, Id start waving it around. Then, there was the time I entered drumming classes. But all we were allowed to do in the first class was practice one beat over and over again. I never went back.I would have done terribly in theStanford Marshmallow(果漿軟糖) Experiment. In this classic study, researchers gave children a choice between one marshmallow right away and two later. The results showed that those who could wait 15 minutes ended up scoring 210 points higher on the SAT, an examination that American high school students take before they go to college.So clearly, delaying(延遲的) gratification or bearing up under pain have their benefits. It needs patience, which keeps us from being stuck to ideas formed previously, and helps us let go of our strong desire for consequences. We e to accept that we dont always or immediately know what is best, and learn to recognize that our reality is in constant changes. Patience improves our understanding of deeper truths and helps us expand our views.The journey of patience is rooted in knowing that our present reality will finally give way to changes. But changes wont always happen when we think they should, and patience with ourselves es from accepting that there are things we can control and things we cant. And though we must make great efforts to keep pushing the boundaries of our awareness and to improve our ability to rest in fort in the present moment, how fast we develop isnt up to us.That same fifth grader who couldnt wait to speak out answers now sees the value of meeting questions with a heart of patience.28Why did the author wave his hand around in class?A. He wanted to entertain himself.B. He tried to show his impatience.C. He was making fun of his fellow students.D. He wanted to give his fellow students a chance.29Whats the purpose of the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment?A. To test childrens concentration levels.B. To test whether children have sweet teeth.C. To test patience and its potential advantages.D. To test the bond between patience and desire.30Which of the following can replace the underlined word “gratification” in Para. 3?A. Progress. B. Patience.C. Assistance. D. Satisfaction.31What is the main reason for people to have patience according to the text?A. Constant changes. B. Present reality.C. An absence of self-control. D. A strong desire for consequences.DIn 1941, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov stated the Three Laws of Robotics. These laws e from the world of science fiction, but the real world is catching up. A law firm gave Pittsburghs Carnegie Mellon University $10 million to explore artificial intelligence. Peter Kalis, chairman of the law firm, K&L Gates, said the development of technology had led to questions that were never taken seriously before. What will happen when you make robots that are smart, independent thinkers and then try to limit their freedom?Researcher Kalis said, “One expert said well be at a point when we give an instruction to our robot to go to work in the morning and it turns around and says, Id rather go to the beach.” He said that one day we would want laws to keep our free-thinking robots from running wild.With the law firms gift, the university will be able to explore problems now appearing within automated industries. “Take driverless cars for example,” Kalis said. “If theres an accident concerned with a driverless car, what policies do we have in place? What kind of insurance policies do they have?” In fact, people can take a ride in a driverless car in Pittsburgh where an American online transportation network pany uses the city as a testing ground for the panys driverless cars.The problems go beyond self-driving cars and robots. Think about the next generation of smartphones, those chips fixed in televisions, puters, fridges, etc., and the ever-expanding collection of personal data being stored in the “cloud”. So can Asimovs Three Laws of Robotics be used in reality? Is it necessary to have a moral guideline that everyone can understand? Whatever it is, doing no harm should be the very first one.32What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Robot should have more freedom.B. Technology is running ahead of laws.C. The Three Laws of Robotics are practical.D. Peter wants to explore artificial intelligence.33What makes humans worry about robots?A. Robots may be out of control.B. Robots can do something illegal.C. Robots can bee angry easily.D. Robots may have many requests.34What is the third paragraph intended to tell us?A. Its hard for robots to obey rules.B. A law on robotics is really a must.C. Driverless cars can cause accidents.D. Driverless cars are being tested out now.35What should the basic law on robotics be according to the text?A. Robots should be cautiously used in life.B. Robots should obey Asimovs Three Laws.C. Robots should be easy for people to operate.D. Robots should help with peoples life and work.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Life is short.

It happens so quickly that many people dont even realize they had a life until its already over.1. 36 If you dont believe in yourself, nobody will.
