An entire industry has been developed to provide educational DVDs designed for infants. These DVDs are marketed as able to facilitate the development of various cognitive (认知的) skills such as language. An academic journal recently published a study that focused on one product, the Baby Wordsworth, from the Walt Disney Company's Baby Einstein series. The study put the DVD to the test with a group of one- and two-year-olds. For six weeks, 88 children were randomly (随机地) assigned to either watching it a few times a week or not at all. Researchers then tested the language skills in each group based on how many words the children knew. At the end of the period, children in both groups understood about 20 of the 30 words highlighted in the DVD, on average. The researchers also asked parents about their children's television viewing before entering the study. The earlier a child started watching Baby Einstein DVDs, it turned out, the smaller his or her vocabulary was. The study's finding is in line with some earlier research, says Rebekah Richert, a researcher at the University of California, who led the study, but it is unclear if the DVDs themselves are responsible. "Parents who place their kids in front of the screen could be trying to remedy slow language development, or they could be using the DVDs as baby sitters, cutting back on social stimulation." "A lot of children seem to have these kinds of DVDs," Richert says. "My take-home message would be to encourage live interaction between parent and child." Although it is not well understood how watching television affects language, Richert and his colleagues wrote in their report, the American Academy of Pediatrics (儿科) recommends that children younger than two stay away from the screen. The Baby Einstein Company emphasized that it "does not claim educational outcomes." On its web page, it notes that its products "are not designed to make babies smarter but to engage them." The company notes that it disagrees with the recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics. "When used properly," the company writes, "appropriate video content can be a useful tool for parents and little ones to enjoy together."1. Researchers conducted the study with the Baby Wordsworth DVD in order to ________.A) examine the quality of the DVD from the Baby Einstein CompanyB) reveal the difference in language learning ability between babiesC) find out whether the Baby Wordsworth DVD can boost language skills D) find out how many words babies can learn from the DVD2. It can be inferred that the previous studies have suggested that ________.A) early exposure to DVDs can negatively impact language development B) watching baby videos can actually boost the children' language skillsC) baby videos are harmful to the cognitive learning of childrenD) DVDs of poor quality can not facilitate language development3. Which of the following is the possible reason given by Richert to explain the results of his study?A) Putting babies in front of educational DVDs kills their interest in language learning.B) Keeping kids watching DVDs reduces parents' verbal engagement with them. C) Children under two cannot concentrate on educational DVDs.D) Kids at an early age show no much difference in language learning.4. According to Richert, what is the most important thing for parents to do?A) Keeping infants away from the educational DVDs.B) Staying together with babies in front of the screen.C) Having more interaction with children in real life. D) Limiting the video watching time for young kids.5. What does the Baby Einstein Company say about its DVD products?A) They are helpful for the kids who have language delay.B) They are harmful to young kids without a proper use.C) They cannot help the language learning of young kids.D) They are not made to improve the intelligence of kids.

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

  • question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty
