Even though Danish students have equal access to education, their choice of studies is still influenced by social class. Young people from working class backgrounds are       by studies with a clear job profile側(cè)面，半面，外形，輪廓and high income,       prestige and studies with a strong identity interest young people of parents with university degrees when choosing which studies to      . This is what researchers from the University of Copenhagen       in a new study. Students who have chosen to study medicine, architecture, economy and sociology often come from homes where the parents have         higher education, whereas business studies and pharmacy often       young people with a working class background. This is       by a research team from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University in a new study.
“There is a       between the studies chosen by young Danes and their       background. Even for the young people who have very good grades in their A-level exams, and who could successfully       admission to a large variety of studies, the parents’       of education and social class play an important role in their choice,” says Education Sociologist Jens Peter Thomsen, who is one of the researchers behind the study.
The study “The Educational Strategies of Danish University Students from Professional and Working-Class Backgrounds” is       60 interviews with Danish students from six different university level study programmes: Medicine, architecture, sociology, economy, pharmacy and business studies.
The young people bring with them the       they get from their families. If you grow up in a home with parents who are doctors or architects with a strong professional      , it is an obvious choice to follow the       path as your parents when you grow up.
“For young people whose parents are university educated,       such as fame and mastery of expert knowledge are important. They are       by an educational culture in which you are a diligent student, and where leisure activities are       to the identity that lies within your studies. These young people have also grown up with       discussions around the dinner table which also prepare them for their lives as students,” says Jens Peter Thomsen.
He also added, “Young people who come from a working class background, and have good grades have to       the full range of opportunities they have. But the effort to reach this goal must start early”.

(2013·高考新課標(biāo)全國卷Ⅱ，C)Given that many people’s moods (情緒)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie&the Chocolate Factory，Singapore’s Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates.Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents’ corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea，that’s because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi’s and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored (味道) chocolates.
The CRF’s produce is “green ”，made within the country and divided into 10 lines，with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series－with Sichuan pepper，red bean (豆)，cheese and other flavors－also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocolate_snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，Venezuela，and Ghana，among others.
小題1:What is good about chocolate?
A．It serves as a suitable gift.
B．It works as an effective medicine.
C．It helps improve the state of mind.
D．It strengthens business relations.
小題2:Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?
A．He knows the importance of research.
B．He learns from shops of similar types.
C．He has the support of many big names
D．He has a lot of marketing experience.
小題3:Which line of the CRF produce sells best?
A．The Connoisseur Series.
B．The Exotic Series.
C．The Alcohol Series.
D．The Sichuan Series.
小題4:The words “chocolate snobs” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who________.
A．a(chǎn)re particular about chocolate
B．know little about cocoa beans
C．look down upon others
D．like to try new flavors

Parents are fuelling bad behavior among their children by attempting to "buy" their love with expensive gifts nowadays.
Over recent decades we seem to have created a "must have" culture among our young people. Many mothers and fathers believe they are "failing as parents" if they are unable to ensure that their children have the latest toy, electronic devices (the lap-top, cellphones, Game Boy, etc.) along with their friends. In many cases, families also feel pressured to enroll (使加入) children in "'every interest club or after-school activity that is available" to fill up their time like most of the other children.
But experts warned that the move might affect "precious family time" negatively. Graham Gorton, chairman of the Independent Schools Association, said that parents spent too much time filling their children's lives, which had a series of negative effects on "the very precious family time that exists".
"It seems that those times when a whole weekend without planned work was seen as a luxury (奢侈) and a perfect opportunity to spend time together and share those valuable moments of childhood are long gone," Mr. Gorton said. "As a child I only once said that phrase that parents feared 'I'm bored'. Immediately my mother took action and produced a list of jobs and then insisted that I complete every one of them. Though l didn't think cleaning all the floors could really get rid of my boredom, I enjoyed the feeling of staying at home with my mother and brothers."
Earlier this year, some researchers suggested that relatively wealthy parents were sometimes guilty of failing to teach basic social skills to children. "Often, it’s the rich middle classes that buy off their children through the computer and the TV. That then sets them apart from their family, and then the parents are surprised when their child isn’ t coming to school."
小題1:The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A．today’s children have little time to play
B．today’s children depend on electronic tools too much
C．today’s parents feel pressured by the "'must have" culture
D．being qualified parents becomes harder for today's young people
小題2:What does the "must have" phenomenon refer to based on the passage?
A．That children must have what other children have.
B．That children must have proper pressure to work hard.
C．That children must have special skills to ensure a better future.
D．That parents must have patience to know their children better.
小題3:Which of the following is the best advice you could give to parents based on Gorton’s statement?
A．Plan fewer activities for their children to improve family time.
B．Buy their children fewer things that they are fond of.
C．Give their children more housework to do.
D．Leave their children alone when the kids feel bored.
小題4:Mr. Gorton tended to think that in the past ________.
A．children enjoyed doing housework
B．children never thought life was boring
C．children liked to spend time with their family
D．children often had some planned work after school
小題5:From the passage we can infer that ________.
A．wealthy parents don’t like teaching basic social skills to children
B．parents should be much more strict with their children at home
C．children should not be brought up in a wealthy and pleasant environment
D．only satisfying children’s material needs is not a good way of parenting

【1】People study their family history for different reasons. For some, genealogy(家譜學(xué)) is important to their religion（宗教信仰）. Other people who get involved in genealogy may want to confirm （證實(shí)）stories they heard about a family member. Some people say their interest in genealogy came from an eight-part series on television called Roots. Roots was first broadcast in 1977 and was based on a book which describes how the author’s ancestor, long ago in Africa, as slave was brought to America. After watching Roots, many Americans wanted to study ________________.
【2】Finding family roots is not always easy. So how exactly does someone start a genealogical research?
【3】Experts say you should start with yourself. Write down your own history. One idea is to ask your parents what they can remember about their parents or grandparents. You can often find a lot of information in family pictures, letters and other documents.
【4】Resources on local history may also provide useful information. Large libraries may have hundreds of helpful books. In the United States, several groups have large collections of genealogical materials. These collections are open to the public.
【5】Governments often have many helpful records of genealogies. Governments usually keep official copies of birth, marriage and death records. Local governments may have copies of wills. These statements of final wishes often contain details about a person’s life and wealth.

Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.
Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.
One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story.  On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby. The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.
Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.
The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.
These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.
小題1:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?
A．The environment.B．Mother’s sensitivity.
C．Their peers (同齡人)D．Education before birth.
小題2:What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?
A．To prove that babies can learn before they are born.
B．To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.
C．To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.
D．To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language skills.
小題3:Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?
A．The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.
B．The children of women who did not suffer from depression.
C．The children of depressed but caring mothers.
D．Children with high communication abilities.
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth.
B．Scientific findings about how the environment has an effect on babies’ intelligence.
C．A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are rice or six months old.
D．Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.

Your brain isn’t a muscle, but you can treat it like one
Many people focus on physical fitness, but few know that brain fitness is also something you can work on. In fact, you can exercise your brain as often as you do to your arms or legs —and the results can be positive and empowering.
To improve your brain, you can’t simply repeat the same exercises over and over. Just as lifting a two—pound weight will stop challenging you, so will repetitive exercises such as crosswords or Sudoku. Once you master easy exercises, you must move on to harder ones in order to push your brain —like your muscles —to a new level.

The science behind brain training
Scientists once believed that your mental abilities were fixed in adulthood. Since studies have shown just the opposite, millions of people around the world have adopted the new practice of brain training. The most popular of these brain training products is made by the San Francisco—based Lumosity. Lumosity's scientists with an experienced team of game designers have developed a fun，effective online brain training program that measures，tracks，and adapts to your progress，so you'll always be challenged.
Promising studies on the effects of brain training
In a 2013 Stanford study，a treatment group of 21 breast cancer survivors used 12 weeks of Lumosity training to work on processing speed，mental flexibility，and working memory tasks. On average，those who trained improved on tests of these abilities，compared to a group that did not train with Lumosity.
There is even some evidence suggesting that Lumosity may be beneficial to normal，healthy adults. In a 2011 study by Lumosity and San Francisco State University researchers. 13 people who trained over 5 weeks improved working memory scores by 10％and attention scores by 20％.
Brain training is designed to meet real-life needs
The design of brain training is targeted at real-life benefits instead of improving game scores. Better attention，for example，can mean greater focus in the classroom or at an important business meeting. With improved processing speed，you might react and adapt faster to the demands of a busy life. And a better memory could mean stronger，longer relationships with the people closest to you.
小題1:We can learn from the passage that _________.
A．brain training speeds up the recovery of breast cancer
B．your brain is like a muscle because it gives you power
C．people's mental abilities can't develop after they grow up
D．Lumosity can measure，track and suit your level as you improve
小題2:Which skill may brain training not improve?
A．Better attention. B．A better memory.
C．Better writing skills.D．Higher processing speed.
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．People should care more about physical health instead of mental health.
B．Brain training has been proved effective through scientific researches.
C．A bad memory is the only reason for weak relationships with people.
D．Playing online games is the best way of brain training.
小題4:What's the best title for the passage?
A．Brain Training Makes a DifferenceB．Train Your Brain like a Muscle
C．Lumosity，Your Best ChoiceD．How to Train Your Brain

Monkeys , face to face
DISCOVER magazine once reported on a curious event in the woods : a group of monkeys applied mud (泥) to their faces in order to keep away insects , but when they were done they seemed to have lost their ability to recognize each other ---two monkeys that were supposed to be friends even started fighting.
“Faces are really important to how monkeys and apes (猿)can tell one another apart,” explained Michael Alfaro, a biologist at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), to the New York -based International Science Times . This is quite different from many other animals , which depend heavily on smells.
Since faces play such a crucial part in the social lives of monkeys , could this explain why certain monkey species have such colorful faces while others have simpler, plainer ones ?
To test this theory , a group of researchers from UCLA studied 139 monkey species , mainly from Asia and Africa, and analyzed hundreds of headshot (頭像）photos of those monkeys from their databases.
It was found that species that live in larger groups have faces with more complex color patterns than those that live in smaller groups. According to Live Science, researchers believe that this is nature’s way of making it easier for monkeys to recognize each other since those living in larger groups have to distinguish between a greater number of faces.
This is actually not that hard to understand . Just imagine if there were 10 people standing in front of you, all wearing white clothes. It would be much more difficult to tell them apart than if they wore clothes with colorful patterns. However, if there were only two people that you had to identify, a lack of color wouldn’t be much of a problem.
Apart from the need to recognize group members , researchers found that geography and environment also affect monkeys’ facial colors. Species that live closer to the equator in thick, humid (潮濕的）forests were found to have darker faces than those who live in dry areas further away from the equator. This is because darker faces help camouflage (偽裝）the monkeys in the woods so that they go unnoticed by predators (捕食者）.
小題1:We can learn from the article that monkeys mainly recognize each other by their __.
A．SmellsB．Facial appearancesC．body shapesD．Voices
小題2:Which of the following statements about monkeys’face patterns is TURE according to the article ?
A．Larger monkeys have more complex face color patterns.
B．Monkeys with colorful face patterns usually take higher social positions within groups.
C．Monkeys living in smaller groups usually have simpler, plainer face patterns.
D．Colorful face patterns keep monkeys safe from predators.
小題3:What is article mainly about?
A．The social lives of monkeys.
B．How monkeys tell each other apart.
C．A comparison between the face patterns of monkeys and those of human beings.
D．The different factors that determine monkeys’ face patterns.

I’m sure your parents love you and would love you even if you didn’t live up to their expectations, They are probably setting the bar as high as possible, so that you will aim high , That’s right, but you need some confidence that they’ll be there to catch you—and love you just the same—if you try and fail to achieve all their goals, Because what they’re doing now could lead to some unexpected results .and not good ones.
