I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky.The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky,Appalachian Mountain area.To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times.Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains,l found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness. From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom(忧郁disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects.Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner”(lunch. In case you don't know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground. Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students.Her enthusiasm never cooled down.When it came to time to sit for the acquired testing and interviewing to receive her Child Development Associate Certification(证书,Dorothy was ready.She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph.

4. A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-month-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right? Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists (心理学家 have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigation than one might think. Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge,it falls to the ground — and, in the process, it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not float in mid-air, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing this basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world,overall approach(gathering direct evidence from the world, and logic (my observations and what I expected?. Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way — that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means.For example, it may only be through repeated experiments,evidence
gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn't like Dove chocolate. Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn,but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists.Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science, as an effort — the desire to explore,explain and understand our world, is simply something that comes from our babyhood.Perhaps evolution (进化 provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive (认知的 systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists.As some psychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”
【小题1】According to some developmental psychologists,________. A．a baby’s play is nothing more than a game.
B．a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment C．the nature of babies’ play has been completely investigated D．scientific research into babies’ games is possible
【小题2】Children may learn the rules of language by ________. B．investigating human A．exploring the physical world psychology C．observing their parents’ D．repeating their own behaviors experiments 【小题3】What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play. B．Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists. C．Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science. D．One's drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows. 【小题4】What is the author’s tone when he discusses the connection between scientists’ research and babies’ play? A．Cautious. B．Confused. C．Confident. D．Convincing.

5. The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and pours orange juice all over her. After the bump, Grant repeatedly says: “ I am so sorry. I am so sorry.” 【小题1】 If Roberts’ character were from Britain then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the bump were not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the film, as Roberts is from the US. A report in The Telegraph last week said that three-quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street —
regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, we Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if we mishear someone, we say “Sorry?” The person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “No, I am sorry!” 【小题2】
Life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”. 【小题3】 Traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a survey in 2017 showed that we use it to mean anything from “what” to “whatever”.
【小题4】 Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks about our apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class. 【小题5】 For example, if you bump into someone they might get angry. To avoid this we instantly say “Sorry!”. True manners are about being considerate and the modern day hobby with apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing. A．Why are Britons so sorry? B．British people are sincere while saying sorry. C．How we use “sorry” has changed.
D．Saying sorry when necessary is a good manner. E．This can go on for up to five minutes as we compete over who is
the most sorry. F．Another theory is that we apologize to avoid confrontation (冲突. G．His actions in this scene are very British.
