　　Passage One
　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
　　Karen was 14, depressed and not doing well at school. She had a twin sister who was bright and popular.
　　Karen stood in my waiting room, stooped like a question mark, looking unsure of herself. She had lovely red hair, and when she relaxed she had the most beautiful smile. I noticed her long, artistic fingers.
　　She told me she hated school. The only subject she liked was art. At the School, her art teacher showed me Karen's work. It was original and colorful. I asked the teacher to give Karen jobs to do and to praise her often. "We have to build up her self-esteem, "I said. I suggested that Karen's parents buy her watercolors. "She's very talented, I told them.
　　The job of an educational psychologist is often to make adults see the child in a fresh light. Her parents began to appreciate her more and her teachers began to believe in her. And Karen started to believe in herself.
　　It can be difficult to have a gifted child. It requires time, dedication and constant support to ensure that the child’s talents flourish.
　　I know this from experience. At seven, my daughter Sally was an outstanding gymnast. As a teenager, she became a member of the British gymnastics team and was trained in Moscow. Her talent meant she had to train six days a week and compete all over the country. We had to make sure her success didn't put our other two children in the shade, while giving her constant practical and emotional support. While training in Russia, Sally was told that her fingers were wrong. It took us weeks to reassure her that her fingers were perfect.
　　At a party, i talked to the mother of a champion swimmer. Her daughter had to get up very early to train at the local pool. " Would you do it all again?"I asked the woman. “I wouldn’t;” she said. “My daughter would.That' s what counts.”
　　Talented children can be a challenge. They can also fill us with a sense of wonder, widen our boundaries, shake up our world. They give us a taste of genius. They deserve only our best concern.

　　Passage Two
　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
　　The amount of time kids spend online is a source of frustration for many parents. Initially, parents welcomed the Internet into their homes, believing they were opening up an exciting new world of educational opportunities for their children. However, many parents soon realized that, instead of using the Internet for homework or research, their kids were spending hours exchanging messages with friends, playing online games or talking to strangers in chat rooms.
　　Maintaining a healthy balance between entertainment media and other activities in their children's lives has always been a challenge for parents. The Internet has made this challenge even more difficult. The engaging nature of Internet communications and interactive games means many children and teens have trouble keeping track of time when they're online.
　　Unfortunately, parents and teachers are usually not aware that there is a problem until it becomes serious. This is because it is easy to hide what you are doing online and because Internet addiction is not widely recognized by the medical community. And mental health practitioners continue to debate whether this behavior is an “addiction,” with some identifying it as"compulsive behavior."
Children and young people can easily become hooked on online activities such as multi-user games, instant messaging and chat rooms. The most vulnerable children, according to the Computer-Addiction Services at Harvard Medical School, are those who are "lonely and bored or from families where nobody is at home to relate to after school."
Children who are unpopular or shy with peers are often attracted to the opportunities for creating new identities in online communities. Boys, in particular, are frequent users of online role-playing games, where they assume new identities and interact with other players. Although playing these games with other users may appear to be a social activity, for the introverted (内向的) child or teen, excessive playing can further isolate them from friends and peers.

Apositive

Bnegative

　　Passage Three
　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
　　American scientists have found that some birds are more intelligent than believed. They say birds have abilities that involve communication and different kinds of memory. In some unusual cases, their abilities seem better than those of humans.
　　The findings were presented at the annual conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science(AAAS). The scientists met for six days last month in Boston, Massachusetts.
　　Irene Pepperberg presented her research about a grey parrot named Griffin. He lives in her laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. Pepperberg says Griffin can arrange objects in order of size. The talking bird also can combine words in the right order. For example, he will combine words when asking for food. The researcher says that only humans and other mammals with large brains used to be considered to have the ability to combine objects and words. She believes that birds are able to understand that complex tasks must be done in the correct order. Some birds have other memory skills. For example, they collect and store thousands of seeds in autumn. and find them later in winter.
　　Alan Kamil and Alan Bond of the University of Nebraska are studying the memories of birds called jays and nutcrackers. Their experiments suggest that these birds use natural objects to find the seeds they have stored. They found these birds use at least three objects, such as rocks or trees, to find the stored seeds. Kamil also trained a jay to choose one object instead of another. The bird used this skill to receive a prize, such as food. Scientists say some birds can learn as many as two thousand different songs. They say songs may have developed as a way for birds to communicate with other birds.
　　Verner Bingman of Bowling Green State University in Ohio also presented his research at the science conference in Boston. Bingman believes that birds must have a special guidance system in their brain. He says that understanding how a bird's brain operates may help us better understand the way a human brain processes information.

1. Every culture has its own ideal of behavior, and the United States is no exception. There, children are encouraged to be open and direct. Americans think that openness is a sign of honesty, and they are suspicious of silence and reserve. They feel that you must be hiding something if you do not speak out. They feel threatened by silence, which they do not trust or understand. Many other cultures, however, do not value openness and directness highly. In fact, they discourage these qualities because, to them, openness and directness seem rude and childish. They do not signify adult behavior in their eyes. It is not surprising, then,that many cross-cultural misunderstandings have developed around openness and directness.
