Reading aloud helps a cluld to read -Mth pleasure,create background knowledge,and build
vocabulary. It also prowides children with a reading model. Reading alo::d doesn't just benefit
young children Parents should continue reading aloud as their children grow because listening
comprehension is more importarit than reading skills in middle school.
Jim Trelease,in his Read-Aloud Handbook,has noted that almost as big a mistake as not
reading to chiidren at all is stopping too soon Until about the eighth grade,children listen aml
comprehend on a higher level than their reading skills allow them to read independently, This
means children can hear and understand stories that are more difficult and more interesting than
anything they can read on their own

Whenevcr you buy something,it is possible that someone has already worn,eaten,or teste.d
it to make sure it is safe and do what is supposed to do. But what if you wanted a special suit to
keep a shark from hurting you? Who wanta +o test a product like it?
"I do! " says Jeremiah Sullwan,a scientist in California "You have to believe in what you
sell,right?"
Sullivan. owns SharkArmor Tech,a company that makes a $ 49400 sharksuit that even a
great white shark can- t bite through Before Sullivan could sell his sharksuits,he needed to
make sure his design would work. Sullivan put on the sharksuit and jumped into a shark feeding
ground. "I need to know exactly what a human body could expect to go through," he says.
Sharks moved ali ar.ound Hm and then attacked his arm. Sullivan felt the bite but no teeth.He was uncomfortable at times,but not painfuL The suit works! "
"I,ve now been bitten thousands of times but.never badly," says Sullivan,who now works with shows like Wild Kingdmn, ana programs for the Disco'oery Channel s Shan~ Week.
So,are you all set to buy a sharksuit? Before you do,you should know that th. e suit weighs
20 pounds and makes swimming almost impossible-not so practical for a day on the beach. And
in fact, Sullivan wants only .professionals, such as filmmakers, scientists and drivers, to have
sharksuits. Why? Because even if someone is wearing a sharksuit,they could get seriously hurt
if they treat diving with a 4,OOO-pound shark as a game.
During sharksuit testing,sharks have thrown Sullivan to a bottom o/ reefs(磙) and tried to
take him off into the deepest part of the ocean. "However," Sullivan sa}fs,"you don't need to
be afraid of sharks. It-s actually pretty hard to get a shark to bite you, "
68. The first paragraph is written to .
A start a discussion B. introduce the topic of the text
C show the main points of the text D. test readers' knowledge
69. Why did Sullivan get close to sharks?
A To see if hiS sharksLut works. B. To study what sharks feed on.
c. To catch a special kind of white shark. D. To learn how to swim with sharks safely,
70. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 mean?
A Most people won't wear the sharksuit to the beach
B. People like to go to the beach with the sharksLut.
C. The sharksuit makes a perfect day on the beach
D. The sharksuit can-t be worn for a whole day.
71. We can learn from the text that the sharksuit _
A works well for swimmers B is light but uncomfortable
C, keeps sharks away from humans D. is designed for special purpose

Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain,
a new study has found,
Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cogrutive(認知的) task
to another,something that-s knovrn to take longer for older adults,said lead researcher,Brian
Gold,a neuroscientist ar the Uruversif.y of Kentucky.
Gold-s team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults,knowing th.ey
would fjp.d slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However,they
fouiid that oider adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental activities faster
cietlned in tne st,idy as peopie speaking a second iangUage aaily since they wereat ieast 10 yeats
old
Gold and his team asked 30 people,either bilingual o: nionolingual(只僮一種語言 人) ,tu
have a series of tests. They found that bilingual people were not oniy able to switch tasks
faster-they had different brain acti/ty than their monolingual peers.
Kristina called bilingualism "a beautiful natural experimentY, because people grow up
speaking two languages,and studies have
