One was for a donation to help people in the Philippines. The other was
20、 to help hungry families have a Thanksgiving meal.“Ill put a check in each of these. Then you can add your own money from your piggy bank, okay?” I said, thinking hed be so excited to put his own stamp on things.“Thats okay, mom. You put money in. I dont want to waste mine,” he sweetly sang as he co
21、lored. “I want to fill my bank all the way up.”Ack! I guess I know what our dinnertime discussion will be about tonight, I thought.I had figured that through watching his parents donate items, helping us take toys from time to time to needy kids and putting money in the basket at church, he would ju
22、st understand why it was important to help people in need and even want to do it himself.But of course he doesnt really understand yet. “Theres a big disconnect between the people over there and my piggy bank,” said parenting educator Vicki Hoefle.“Theres nothing wrong with the child. Theres just no
23、 connection.”As for having that conversation immediately, or forcing my son to put money into the envelopes: “Try not to do it now,” Hoefle said. Teaching a child about donating their own money or toys or time to people in need “should be a gentle introduction into what we hope will be a way of life
24、 for our kids.”She suggested these things to help children understand the importance of giving:* Just talk about it. Then explore the issue from a perspective he can understand.* Use the course of a year to introduce kids to opportunities. That way, they wont be shocked when you ask them to stuff th
25、eir own money into an envelope （like this writer just did）.* Pick a family charity for the year and have a conversation about how you all can help throughout the year.* Think of this not as something you must teach, but as something to expose them to.At her house, Hoefle said, “When you got somethin
26、g new, you gave something up.” Each birthday, her children would pick what toys they had outgrown and give them away. “There was a comfort in it. It just became a natural part of the kids lives.”So I will fill those envelopes alone this time. But Ill make sure he understands why they should be fille
27、dgradually. 41. When the writer asked her son to give money to help the poor, he _. A. declined to donate B. sang a sweet song C. put all his money in a bankD. seemed very surprised42. Hoefles attitude towards childrens unwillingness to donate money can be best described as “_”. A. criticalB. tolera
28、ntC. positiveD. worried43. Which of the following is Hoefles approach to educating kids about charity? A. Giving courses about charity. B. Setting a rule for children to give. C. Inviting a lot of poor people home. D. Giving children enough real life chances.44. What can we learn about the writer fr

She invited a parenting educator home for advice.45. What is the best title of the passage? A. Kids, please help those in n
30、eed. B. Why are kids unwilling to donate? C. Kindness is lost in the young generation. D. How can we help kids learn generosity?BCan software bring dead tongues back to life? Probably yes. A computer algorithm（计算程序）works almost as well as a trained linguist（语言学家） in reconstructing how dead protolang
31、uages would have sounded, says a new study.Our computer system is doing a basic job right now, says Alex Bouchard-Ct, an assistant professor in the department of statistics at the University of British Columbia and lead author of the paper describing the algorithm. But the program does a good enough
32、 job that it may be able to give linguists a head start, the statistician added.For centuries, scholars have reconstructed languages by hand: looking at the same word in two or more languages and making educated guesses about what that words ancestor may havesounded like. For example, the Spanish wo
33、rd for man （hombre） and the French word for man （homme） developed from the Latin word homo. The way linguists compare words from descendant（后代）languages to reconstruct the parent language is called, appropriately, the comparative method.The early 19th-century linguist Franz Bopp was the first to com
34、pare Greek, Latin and Sanskrit using this method. Jacob Grimm, one of the Brothers Grimm of fairy tale fame, used the comparative method to show how Germanic languages developed from a common ancestor.The difference between that and Bouchard-Cts program, the statistician says, is we do it on a large
35、r scale. As a proof of concept, Bouchard-Ct fed words from 637 Austronesian languages （spoken in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and more） into the new algorithm, and the system came up with a list of what the ancestor words of all those languages would have sounded like. In more than 85 percen
36、t of cases, the automated reconstruction came within one character of the ancestor word commonly accepted as true by linguists.The algorithm wont replace trained human linguists, but could speed uplanguage analysis.Using a computer to do large-scale reconstruction offers another advantage. Bouchard-
37、Ct says, “With big data sets, you can really start finding regularities You might find that certain sounds are more likely to change than others.So Bouchard-Cts team tested the functional load hypothesis（假设）, which says that sounds that are more important for two clearly different words are less lik
38、ely to change over time. A formal test of this hypothesis in 1967 looked at four languages; Bouchard-Cts algorithm looked at 637.The revealed pattern would not be obvious if we had not been able to reconstruct large numbers of protolanguages, Bouchard-Ct and his coauthors write in the new study.In a
39、ddition to simply helping linguists understand how people spoke in the past, studying ancient languages can perhaps answer historical questions. For example, Bouchard-Ct says, Say people are interested in finding out when Europe was settled. If you can figure out if the language of the settling popu
40、lation had a word for wheel, then you can get some idea of the order in which things occurred, because you would have some records that show you when the wheel was invented.”46. The underline word “protolanguages” in the first paragraph probably refers to _. A. the languages that couldnt be reconstr
41、ucted by hand B. parent languages that existed in the past C. languages developed from a common ancestor D. languages used to explain things that occurred in the past47. We can learn from the fourth and fifth paragraphs that the reconstruction of “protolanguage” by scholars _. A. is commonly accepte
42、d as falseB. dates back to the 19th century C. focuses on European languages D. is conducted using the comparative method48. According to Bouchard-Ct, reconstructing the dead protolanguages might _. A. arouse peoples interest in when Europe was settled B. allow us to find answers to some historical
43、questions C. enable us to picture the way linguists communicated D. help figure out how the wheel was invented49. The author probably wants to prove the computer algorithm program led by Bouchard-Ct _. A. will bring every dead language back to lifeB. can take the place of linguists in language analy
44、sis C. is of great help to promote language analysis with big data sets D. can merely reconstruct Asian-Pacific “protolanguages”CLONDON, Feb. 18，2014 （Xinhua News agency） Britain will send experts to East Chinas Shanghai to learn from the citys experience in maths teaching in an attempt to raise the
45、 teaching standards.British Education Minister Elizabeth Truss is to lead a delegation of experts on a fact-finding mission to Shanghais schools next week to see how children there have become the best in the world at maths, to get a first-hand look at maths classes and teaching methods there, and particularly to investigate why the performance of almost all children in Shanghai is high, regardless of gender or income. Britain was last year placed 50th out of 148 countries and regions in the World Eco
