Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars李仕才*閱讀理解。There is a popular saying in the English language：“Sticks and stones may break my bones， but words will never hurt me.” Well， that is not true.Unkind words， namecalling or even the socalled “the silent treatment” can hurt children as much as being physically hit， sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal（言語的） abuse by other children can harm development in the brain.The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts.Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults， aged 18 to 25.These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents.The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children.Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain.The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum.This was the area that was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing.So， unkind， hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect.The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study.The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear， depression， anger and drug abuse than others in the study.The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatrys website.Parents cannot control what other people say to their children， but they can prepare their children.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。馬薩諸塞州哈佛醫(yī)學(xué)院的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)， 語言暴力會(huì)干擾大腦神經(jīng)的連接， 對(duì)孩子的大腦發(fā)育造成不良影響。1.Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning？A.To show the power of words.B.To introduce an opposite view.C.To prove the authors argument.D.To show ancient peoples wisdom.B解析：寫作意圖題。根據(jù)此諺語后面的“Well， that is not true. hurt children as much as being physically hit， sometimes even more so.” 可知， 本文引用這個(gè)諺語是為了引出一個(gè)不同的或者說是相反的觀點(diǎn)， 故選B。2.What did the subjects have in common？A.They were hurt by unkind words.B.They performed poorly in imaging tests.C.They had their brain slightly damaged.D.They experienced no physical abuse at home.D解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents.”可知， 這些實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)象都沒有遭受過父母的殘酷或暴力對(duì)待， 也就是說， 他們?cè)诩依锒紱]受到過身體上的虐待， 故選D。3.What will be discussed in the next paragraph？A.Comments on the findings.B.Approaches to further studies.C.Suggestions to parents.D.Different opinions on the matter.C解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知， 作者接下來應(yīng)該會(huì)就“父母如何幫助自己的孩子為可能遭受的語言暴力做好準(zhǔn)備， 使他們不會(huì)受到語言暴力的影響”給出一些方法或建議。故選C。4.What is the main idea of the passage？A.The way we speak matters.B.Verbal violence should be stopped.C.Unkind words hurt the brain.D.Words are worse than sticks and stones.C解析：主旨大意題。文章介紹了語言暴力對(duì)孩子的不良影響， 再根據(jù)文中第二段的“verbal（言語的） abuse by other children can harm development in the brain”可以看出， 其影響主要體現(xiàn)在孩子的大腦發(fā)育方面。故選C。*語法填空。Last December my mother and I _1_(fly) to London.
