In an attempt to help t

18、he children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It Look children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing because t

19、he program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, ano

20、ther program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the childs first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who wer

21、e about to have their first child and represented different socio-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.A

22、t three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual

23、skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the childs development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missour

24、i” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus of parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome education unfairness.1、What caused the failure of the “Headstart” progra

25、m?AThe large number of poor families.BThe disapproval from children.CThe late start of the program.DThe long period of time.2、What do we know about the “Missouri” program?AIt focused on the childrens first school teachers.BIt helped the children return to the same home.CIt made the children improved

Even so, viewe

28、rs are usually warned in advance that they “may find some of these disturbing” so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose jobs are to record those scenes-the TV cameramenhave no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the war and record them, no matter how horr

29、ifying and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing job that the world offers.Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24 hour news in recent years have created an almost insatiable(無法滿足的)dema

30、nd for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies-such as Reuters and WTN-have never had enough staff to meet the world wide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “Freelance” TV cameramen.These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no parti

31、cular organization. They will work for any company which hires them for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if a freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.“TV will always need hard,

32、vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books,” explains Nik Growing, once foreign editor for Britains Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.“By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when the

33、y need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk,” he says.1、The underlined word “taxing” in Para 1 most probably means_.Ademanding BstrikingCsatisfying Dencouraging2、TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to _.Asave expenses and avoid riskBget first hand information and pic

But for scientists, working ou

36、t what is going on in an actors head has always been something of a puzzle.Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not.Dr Steven Brown, from McMaster University in Canada, said, It looks like when you are acting, you a

37、re suppressing (壓制) yourself; almost like the character is possessing you.Brown and colleagues report how 15 actors, mainly theatre students, were trained to take on a Shakespeare role either Romeo or Juliet in a theatre workshop. They were then invited into the laboratory, where their brains were s

38、canned in a series of experiments.Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party? And would they tell their parents that they had fallen in love?Each actor was asked to respond to different questions, based on two different pre

39、mises (前提). In one, they were asked for their own perspective, while in the other, they were asked to respond as though they were either Romeo or Juliet.The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in characte

40、r, they use some third-person knowledge or inferences about their character.The team said they also found additional reduction in activity in two regions of the prefrontal cortex (前額皮質(zhì)) linked to the sense of self, compared with when the actors were responding as themselves.However, Philip Davis, a

41、professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than pretending to be someone it involves embodying (體現(xiàn)) the text and language.1、How did Dr Browns team conduct their research?ABy scanning the brain activity of some actors.BBy doing a survey

42、with some theatre goers.CBy interviewing some theatre teachers.DBy consulting some experienced researchers.2、What is the finding of Dr Browns research?AActing is not as mysterious as people think.BActors brain activity differs when they are acting.CActing is far more than pretending to be the charac
