We are often told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us. Most of us enjoy listening to our mothers speak. Scientists havefound that compared to other people’s voices, our brains greatly prefer the voices of our own mothers.

Scientists at Stanford University, US, recently studied this. They scanned (扫描) children’s brains while they were listening todifferent sounds, including their mothers' voices. They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize their

mothers’ voices at once.

Hearing their mothers’ voices makes children’s brains more active. We usually just use one paft of our brain to deal withsounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers’ voices, many parts of the brain, including those in chargeof ( 负责) reward (奖赏) and emotion (情感) start to work as well.

Why do we respond so strongly to our mothers’ voices? It starts even before

we’re born. When children are still in the womb (⼦宫) or have just been born, they hear their mothers talking. This makesbabies feel comfortable and teaches them language and social skills, even though they are still very young. The babies learnto recognize their mothers’ voices as a rewarding (奖励性的) sound. Later, when this sound is heard again, more attention ispaid to it.

Some sounds are necessary for our survival or bring us pleasure. These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewardingsounds. Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often. But mothers’ voices are different.They bring us a lof of comfort.

51.Which sentence is true according to the passage?A.Mothers prefer the sounds from their children.

B.97% of the children could recognize their mothers’ voices at once.C.The babies learn to recognize their mothers’ voice as a survival sound.D.When we hear our mothers’ voice, many parts of the brain start to work as well.52.According to paragraph 4, why do we response so strongly to our mothers’voices?A.Because we can get love from their voices.B.Because we can get a reward from the voices.C.Because their voices make us feel comfortable.D.Because we can recognize their voices quickly.53.What is the story mainly about?A.How we recognize our mothers’ voices.B.Why we prefer to hear our mothers’ voices.C.How we respond to different kinds of sounds.D.Why we should listen carefully to our mothers.D

I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.

A few months later, I read that first poem. It was a bad poem. I worked up the courage to show him a short story. My fatherthought it was not good but hopeful. I was learning to rewrite.

As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, I realized how lucky I was to have a mother who said, “Buddy, it’swonderful!” and a father who shook his head “I think it’s bad.” Both are love that forces me to improve. In fact, all of us in lifeneed both loving force.

A）阅读下⾯短⽂，并根据所读内容，在⽂章后第71-80 ⼩题的空格⾥填⼊⼀个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填 1 个单词。

When you are in a place where you are looking for a new job or career ( 职业), you will find that there are several things thatyou should pay attention to. Jobs and careers are fewer than you expect, especially when satisfying ( 令⼈满意的)

employment is something you need to seriously think about How are you going to find the job that you want and what shouldyou avoid on your way? When you want to make use of your job searsh, take a moment and think about the things that youmust avoid at all.

One of the most important rules is never to compromise (妥协) on the things you ask for or it will have a bad effect ( 影响) onyour life and peace of mind. Keep in mind your basic expectations of a dream job. They might be something about money oryou might find they have something to do with time off. Whatever they are, make sure that you do not accept a job withoutthem. Your requirements ( 需求) might not be easy to meet, but you have the right to try and achieve them.

What’s more, don’t go away from odd (临时的) jobs that might actually take you to the place that you want to be in.

Sometimes, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of effort (努⼒). And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking the chance is of great importance and is something youmight want to seriously consider (考虑). As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better thanother people during the job search.

If you are looking for the right job, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is tomarket yourself. If required, give enough encouragement to yourself and try to confidently look at all that you have. Make surethat you can show your skills and abilities. If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging (有挑战性的), set goalsfor yourself and work hard at them. The more efforts you put in marketing yourself, the more your chances ofgetting the job you like will be.

Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not short-change yourself. This is because you will onlyharm yourself by setting low goals.
