Morning after morning, I showed up in Mr. Ralstons classroom

20、and 44 papers for him.Sometimes, I even 45 a lesson or two. It was fun, and the students seemed to like me, so I was surprised when it came time for my 46 . Mr. Ralston looked me right in the eyes and asked, “Do you really want to teach?”“Had I really been that 47 ?” I thought.“Dont misunderstand. Y

21、oull do fine in teaching,” he continued. “But, is your 48 really in it?”“Not really,” I 49 . “I want to write. I want to write news stories and fiction and poetry and so much morebut Ive been told its tough to make it as a writer 50 I thought maybe I would teach and then use my summers 51 to pursue

22、writing.”As I shared with Mr. Ralston my hopes, dreams and carefully plotted-out back-up plan, he smiled and said, “Why are you preparing to 52 with this back-up plan? If you want to be a writer, go for it! Pursue writing!”Mr. Ralstons 53 to follow my dreams was the little nudge I needed to help me

36、onal Statistics (ONS), the U.K. has about 7.7 million families with dependent children, of which 3.7 million have just one child, compared to 3 million with two and 1.1 million with three children or more. The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely r

37、ise to more than 50 percent in a decade. As the ONS confirms, “It appears that families are getting smaller.” One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile. But it could just as well be a mat

38、ter of choice. Parents must consider the rising cost of living, combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market. And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal, which seems to be the mood on the mothers online forum Mumsnet, where one memb

39、er announced that she “just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child”. She had received 231 replies, overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit. Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits. Nicola Kelly, a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only c

40、hild and is now a married mother of one, says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries. Not all products of single-child families are as keen to repeat the experience. In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to “squeeze out

41、 two sons just 22 months apart” as a reaction to her only-child upbringing. She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents, whom she punished with a “brattish, wilful” rejection of everything they stood for. Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her

42、 childhood as being “misery”. Writer and clinician Dr. Dorothy Rowe, a member of the British Psychological Society, says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted, while other children see the advantages of

43、 their situation.However, the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older. 58. The passage is written with the purpose of _. A. illustrating the strength and weakness of having an

44、only childB. analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popularC. presenting us with different opinions about having an only childD. guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives59. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Nearly half of families i

45、ntend to have just one child. B. All people dont stand for the idea of having an only child. C. Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child. D. People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family. 60. From what Dr. Dorothy Rowe said, we know that _. A. jour

46、nalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhoodB. she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turners reactionC. its necessary for us to look at the event from our own angleD. some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions61. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Its n

47、ormal to see the imperfection in character in only children. B. Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child. C. Economic development plays a determining role in the family size. D. Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents. CExercise seems to be good for the

48、 human brain, with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory and thinking skills. But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect that is, if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise, do our brai

49、ns respond accordingly? The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives.While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits, recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial ef

50、fects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect. So researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign decided to focus on expectations, on what people anticipate that exercise will do for thinking. If peoples expectations jibe (吻合) clos

51、ely with the actual benefits, then at least some of those improvements are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise.For the new study, which was published last month in PLOS One, the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system, they asked half of these volunte

52、ers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens (拉伸运动) performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking. The other volunteers were asked the same questions, but about a regular walking program.In actual experiments, stretching and toning program generally have lit

53、tle if any impact on peoples cognitive skills. Walking, on the other hand, seems to substantially improve thinking ability.But the survey respondents believed the opposite, estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking. The estimates of benefits

54、 from walking were lower.These data, while they do not involve any actual exercise, are good news for people who do exercise. “The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect,” said Cary Stothart, a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida

55、 State University, who led the study.If expectations had been driving the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise, Mr. Stothart said, then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching. They didnt, implying that the changes in the brain and t

56、hinking after exercise are physiologically genuine.The findings are strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may, in the process, improve thinking, Mr. Stothart said. That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how, at a molecular level, exercise remod
