For example, people who give often report feelings of euphoria, which psychologists have referred to as the Helper39。 It is a fact that givers are happier people than nongivers. According to the Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey, a survey of 30,000 American households, people who give money to charity are 43% more likely than nongivers to say they are very happy about their lives. Similarly, volunteers are 42% more likely to be very happy then nonvolunteers.5．閱讀理解 縱觀全文可知，本文介紹了藝術(shù)展上，參觀者需要注意的事項，故選A。根據(jù)帶星號要點的第二點“Food and drink are not permitted outside the food service areas.“可知，不允許飲食服務(wù)區(qū)以外的食品和飲料，可推知可以飲用飲食服務(wù)區(qū)內(nèi)供應(yīng)的飲料，故選B。故選C。(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。The history of the gallery【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，介紹了參觀博物館的一些規(guī)定。The location of the galleryB.The polices of the galleryD.They can drink inside the food service areas.C.They can carry opened bottled water in their bags.D.IpadB.umbrella *Please don39。 *Skateboarding is prohibited.s bag.

When it es to math, in other words, Asians have a builtin advantage. For years, students from China, South Korea, and Japan outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics, and the typical assumption is that it has something to do with a kind of Asian talent for math. The differences between the number systems in the East and the West suggest something very different that being good at math may also be rooted in a group39。 The regularity of their number system also means that Asian children can perform basic functions, such as addition, far more easily. Ask an Englishspeaking sevenyearold to add thirtyseven plus twentytwo in her head, and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22). Only then can she do the math: 2 plus 7 is 9 and 30 and 20 is 50, which makes 59. Ask an Asian child to add threetensseven and twotenstwo, and then the necessary equation(等式) is right there, in the sentence. No number translation is necessary: it39。t. We use a different form: eleven, twelve, thirteen and fifteen. For numbers above 20, we put the “decade” first and the unit number second (twentyone, twentytwo), while for the teens, we do it the other way around (fourteen, seventeen, eighteen). The number system in English is highly irregular. Not so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system. Eleven is tenone. Twelve is tentwo. Twentyfour is twotensfour and so on. It turns out that there is also a big difference in how numbernaming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed. In English, we say fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, so one might expect that we would also say oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, and fiveteen. That example es from Stanislas Dahaene39。 Take a look at the following list of numbers: 4, 8, 5, 3, 7, 9, 6. Read them loud. Now look away and spend 20 seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again. If you speak English, you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly. If you are Chinese, though, you39。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。文章主要通過講述因紐特人溫柔地教育孩子的方式，讓我們對如何教育孩子有所啟發(fā)。故選B。畢竟，孩子就是孩子。根據(jù)最后一段中的And don39。故選C。根據(jù)第三段中的Parents retell what happened when a boy threw a tantrum (發(fā)脾氣) by way of…可知，家長講述的是小男孩發(fā)脾氣時所發(fā)生的事情。故選D。劃線詞組所在句子為讓步狀語從句，although（即使）前后句是相反關(guān)系。 responses to storytelling.【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，因紐特人教育孩子的方式最溫柔，介紹了因紐特人教育孩子的黃金規(guī)則“不對小孩叫喊”以及他們塑造孩子行為的一種方式“講故事”，讓我們時刻記住孩子做錯事的時候要保持冷靜。D.s misbehavior.Values of reading literary works.C.s approach to parenting.s the main idea of the text?
