eyes of others. but a growing body of research is raising questions about how a childs lie is different from an adults lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.“parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says dr. lee, a professor at the university of toronto and director of the institute of child study. he has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. the fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. dr. lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the childs back. whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.for young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. when the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. at age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didnt. by 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.researchers have found that its kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. thats because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. the ability to lie and lie successfully is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.26. whats the purpose of children telling lies? a. to help their friends out. b. to get rid of trouble. c. to get attention from others. d. to create a popular image.27. the

estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. the number of disabled people in india alone is probably more than double the total population of canada. in the united kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. some people are born with disabilities. many others become disabled as they get older. there are many progressive disabling diseases. the longer time goes on, the worse they become. some people are disabled in accidents. many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. all are affected by peoples attitude towards them. disabled people face many physical barriers. next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. how would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? but there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. it is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.31. the first paragraph points out that _. a. there are many disabled people in the world b. the number of disabled people in india is the greatest c. india has much more disabled people than canada d. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the worlds disabled people32. the key word in paragraph 4 is _. a.

the whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people d. there still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance35. it can be concluded from the passage that _. a. we should try our best to prevent disablement b. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down c. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled d. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabledccarbon monoxide(一氧化碳) poisoning kills and injures many people and animals around the world. the gas has been a problem since people first began burning fuels to cook food or to create heat. it is a problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather.carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is
