个人将其中长对话改成了单词听写
Adults are getting smarter about how
smart babies are. Not long ago, researchers
learned that 4-day-oldscould understand
(36)____ and subtraction. Now, British research
(37)
____Graham
Schafer
has
discovered
that
infants
can
learn
words
for
uncommon
things long before
they can speak. He found that 9-month-old infants
could be taught,
through repeated show-
and-tell, to (38) _______the names of objects that
were foreign
to them, a result
that(39)________in some ways the received
(40)______that, apart from
learning to
(41)______things common to their daily lives,
children don’t begin to build
vocabulary
until
well
into
their
second
year.
―It’s
no
(42)______that
children
learn
words, but the words
they tend to know are words linked to (43)_____
situations in the
home,‖ explains
Schafer. ‖This is the first
that we can choose what
words the
children
will
learn
and
that
they
can
respond
to them with
an
unfamiliar
voice
giving
instructions in an
unfamiliar setting.‖
Figuring out how humans acquire
language may shed light on why some children
learn to read and write later than
others, Schafer says, and could lead to better
treatments
for
developmental
problems.
What’s
more,
the
study
of
language
offers
direct
insight
into
how
humans
learn
.
―Language
is
a
test
case
for
human
cognitive
development,‖
says
Schafer.
But parents eager
to
teach their infants
should
take note:
Even without being
new words, a
control group caught up with the other
within a few moths. ―This is not about
advancing development,‖ he says. ―It’s just
about what children can do at an
earlier age than what educators have often
thought.‖

Nursing,
as
a
typically
female
profession,
must
deal
constantly
with
the
false
impression
that
nurses
are
there
to
wait
on
the
physician.
As
nurses,
we
are
(36)
________
to
provide
nursing
care
only.
We
do
not
have
any
legal
or
moral
(37)
________ to any physician. We provide
health teaching, (38) ________ physical as well
as
emotional
problems,
(39)
________
patient-related
services,
and
make
all
of
our
nursing
decisions
based
upon
what
is
best
or
suitable
for
the
patient.
If,
in
any
(40)
________, we feel that
a physician’s order is (41) ________ or unsafe, we
have a legal
(42) ________ to question
that order or refuse to carry it out.
Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with
every weekend off. All nurses are aware of
that before they enter the profession.
The emotional and physical stress. However, that
occurs
due
to
odd
working
hours
is
a
(43)
________
reason
for
a
lot
of
the
career
dissatisfaction.
(44).
That disturbs our
personal
lives,
disrupts our sleeping
and
eating
habits, and isolates us from everything
except job-related friends and activities.
The quality of nursing care is being
affected dramatically by these situations. (45).
Consumers of medically related services
have evidently not been affected enough yet to
demand changes in our medical system.
But if trends continue as predicted, (46)

One of the most common images of
advanced Western-style culture is that of
a
busy
traffic-
filled
city.
Since
their
first
(36)_____ on
American
roadways,
automobiles
have
become
a
(37)
of
progress,
a
source
of
thousands
of
jobs
and almost an inalienable right for
citizen
s’ personal freedom of movement.
In
recent
(38)
,
our
love
affair
with
the
car
is
being
(39)
directly
to
the
developing
world
and
it
is
increasingly
(40)
that
this
transfer
is
leading
to
disaster.
America’s
almost
complete
dependence
on
autom
obiles
has
been
a
terrible
mistake. As late as the 1950s, a large
(41)_______of the American public used mass
transit. A large (42)
of public policy decisions and
corporate scheming saw to
it that
countless (43)
nd efficient
urban streetcar and intra-city rail systems
were
dismantled(
拆除
). (44). Our
lives have been planned along a road grid--homes
far from work, shopping far from
everything, with ugly stretches of concrete and
blacktop in between.
Developing countries are copying
Western-style transportation systems down
to the last detail. (45) or
nonexistent, leading to choking clouds of smog.
Gasoline
still
contains
lead,
which
is
extremely
poisonous
to
humans.
(46)
In
addition
to
pollution and traffic jams, auto safety
is a critical issue in developing countries.

The
ancient Greeks developed basic memory systems
called mnemonics. The
name is
from their Goddess of memory
―Mnemosyne‖. In the ancient world, a
trained memory was an
asset,
particularly in public life. There were no
devices for taking notes, and early
Greek orators(
演说家
) delivered
long speeches with
great (39)
because they learned the
speeches using mnemonic systems.
The Greeks discovered that
human memory is
an associative
process
—
that
it
works by linking things together. For example,
think of an apple. The
your brain
registers the
word ―apple‖, it
the shape,
color, taste, smell and
of that fruit. All
these things are associated in your
memory with the wor
d
―apple‖.
44
. An example could be when
you think about a lecture you have had. This
could trigger a memory about what
you
re talking about through that
lecture, which can
then trigger another
memory.
(45)
. An example given on a
website I was looking at follows: Do you remember
the
shape
of
Austria,
Canada,
Belgium,
or
Germany?
Probably
not.
What
about
Italy,
though? (46) . You
made an association with something already known,
the shape of a
boot, and
Italy
s shape could not be forgotten
once you had made the association.
