Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in

high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my

freshman year, I had an aversion to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I

didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related (有关的) to

math.

However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.

Mr. A always greeted (迎接) us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to

be alive!” It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr.

A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every

day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.

I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in

Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I

spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began

to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A ．We didn’t know it at the

time, but he was changing our attitudes (态度).

Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student,

my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of

course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept

reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”

4．What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．interest. B．responsibility. C．dislike. D．misunderstanding.

A．It was straight. B．It was awkward.

C．It was challenging. D．It was impressive.

7．How did the author change in math?

A．She made slow progress.

B．She fell in love with math.

C．She became a straight-A math student.

D．She became comfortable with difficult math questions.

“Who’s a good reader? It’s you, isn’t it?” This is a typical example of “parentese ( 父母语 )”.

Recent research suggests that parents speaking parentese to their babies can give their language

development a serious boost. In the study, researchers found that teaching parents how to speak

proper parentese enhanced their ability to communicate with their babies — and even improved the

children’s long-term language skills.

Parentese is distinct from conventional baby talk, which mostly relies on silly sounds and made-

up words. In the 1960s, scientists studying speech patterns across different languages noticed a

unique style that adults used addressing young children. This language was characterized by simple

words and grammar, high pitch (音调) and a much slower speed. The baby-directed speech was first

named “motherese” before it was called “parentese”.

Later research showed parentese is grammatically correct, with real words and phrases, which

helped babies differentiate between words and process what was being said. “We’ve known for some

time that use of parentese is associated with improved language outcomes, but we didn’t know why,”

says Patricia K. Kuhl, the study’s senior author. But Kuhl thinks the new research suggests why

parentese helps babies learn language skills.

“We now think parentese works because it's a social attraction for the baby brain,” she says. “Its

high pitch and slower speed are socially engaging and invite the baby to respond.”

All 71 families in the new study had their children equipped with a special coat with an audio

recorder built in. During four separate weekends when the babies were 6, 10, 14 and 18 months old,

the researchers recorded all of the interactions between family members and the babies. The 48

families who were randomly selected for a course in parentese learned about ways to include more

parentese in conversation.

And even though all of the participating families used some form of parentese at the start of the

study, the babies of parents who received coaching showed the most improvements in their

conversation skills. Beyond that, those babies had a 100-word vocabulary compared with the control

group, who only knew 60 words at 18 months.

8．Which aspect of the study does paragraph 1 focus on?

A．Its aim. B．Its result. C．Its procedure. D．Its participants.

9．What did scientists find about parentese in the 1960s?

A．It was easy to follow. B．It was unique to mothers.

C．It was full of made-up words. D．It was similar to traditional baby talk.

10．What does Kuhl say about parentese?

A．It teaches babies more social skills.B．It inspires babies to speak more.

C．It has short-term effects on babies. D．It helps babies differentiate words and phrases.

11．Which of the following describes the 48 families?

A．The parents knew more parentese skills.

B．Their babies grasped 60 words at 18 months.

C．The parents failed to use parentese through the study.

D．Their babies received more coaching on a 100-word vocabulary.

Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming

hazards (危险), scientists say. The extremely fast mobile internet would allow for rapid information

transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.

Several car manufacturers (制造商) are already using 5G in their vehicles, including as a tool to

help serve in the generation of self-driving vehicles.

Experts at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) believe the high-speed connection will also

improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than

the manual cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents, which

according to the World Health Organization account for more than 1.3 million deaths and up to 50

million people injured worldwide every year, will drop really as a result.

Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said, “To have a better idea of what

the future will look like, think of having such cars that not only use sensors to scan what’s around

them, they can also talk to each other and exchange safety-related information about their
