Children who read for pleasure at the age of 10 have far higher vocabulary scores by the age of 42.
Researchers at the Institute of Education(IOE)have found that the most crazy childhood readers score far higher on vocabulary tests 30 years later.The new study suggests that children who read for pleasure carry the intellectual(智力的)benefits with them far into adulthood.
“The long-term influence of reading for pleasure on vocabulary that we have identified may be because the frequent childhood readers continued to read throughout their twenties and thirties,”says lead author Professor Alice Sullivan at the IOE.Researchers followed 9,400 British people from the age of 10 up to 42.Their vocabulary was tested using a simple quiz which asked participants to match up words to the most similar meaning.
Those who had regularly read for pleasure at 10 scored 67 percent at the age of 42,while infrequent childhood readers scored only 51 percent.
The IOE study also found that what people chose to read as adults mattered as much as how often they read.The greatest improvements between ages 16 and 42 were made by readers of ‘elegant’ fictions such as Booker Prize winning novels.And they found that readers of quality newspapers,including online versions,made more progress in vocabulary throughout their lives than those who read tabloids.
In addition,generally speaking,the adult readers who especially read broadsheets(宽幅印刷品)scored 76 percent on the assessment compared to 57 percent amongst those who didn’t.
1.Why did frequent childhood readers have higher vocabulary scores?
A.Because they are born intelligent.
B.Because they formed the consistent reading habit.
C.Because they were crazy about pleasure.
D.Because they had a comfortable childhood.
2.What may not affect the adult readers’ vocabulary scores?
A.The contents of reading.
B.The design of the page.
C.Versions online or not.
D.The frequency of reading.
3.What does the underlined word“tabloids”mean in the text?
A.Newspapers of low quality.
B.Newspapers of high quality.
C.Elegant fictions.
D.Large vocabulary.
4.What does the text mainly tell us?
A.Intelligence has a great influence on vocabulary.
B.Reading materials matter much for children.
C.Broadsheet newspapers are best for boosting vocabulary.
D.Children who read for pleasure have larger vocabulary when they grow up.

On holidays you’re likely to eat and overeat between family gatherings and office parties. 1. Here are some tips to help you enjoy holiday food without completely changing your diet:
1.Switch to small plates.
Not only do smaller dishes fill up faster,but the same size help look like more food when it’s on a small dish. 2. But whatever the size of your plate,it’s most important to remember to keep it balanced:half for vegetables,a quarter for grains and a quarter for lean meat.
2.Measure out snakes
Your favorite holiday movie is on.Take a minute to check the nutrition label(标签)and measure out a serving to keep calories in check.Take one popular brand of buttered microwave popcorn for example. 3. But the bag contains 2.5 servings.Eat the whole thing on your own,and you’ll have eaten 425 calories.
3.Split an entree(主菜).
Many restaurants serve far more food than one person needs in a single meal. 4. Or pack half your entree to go as soon as it’s served.Or choose a small-size option,if available.

A.Share a main dish with a friend.

Without any hesitation,he said,“I’d be better off dead.” Hearing those words come out of my best friend’s mouth tore my heart apart.He has repeated that phrase more than once,and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording.
I met my best friend about three years ago.After knowing me for six months,he told me about his struggles with depression.Sadness was not the only emotion that came over me; I was shocked.He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time.I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child,causing him to have suicidal(自杀的)thoughts.
He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults,especially those in his family.In spite of this,he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak.Thus,when it comes to helping him,convenience is not in my vocabulary.It does not matter where I am or what I am doing,for he takes priority.Sometimes he just needs the assurance of my voice telling him that everything is going to be okay and that I will not let him down.
Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice the scars on his arms from cutting.It seems that other kids have every right to make fun of him and to look down on him.But no one holds such a right,so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly.When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices,I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally.Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.
My best friend once told me that if he had not had me,he would not be alive.He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take the way out(轻生).Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can impact on someone’s life.With the fragility of life as it is,I believe in the necessity of encouragement.

When you are travelling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?
You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (铢) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.
Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!
The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable(合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.
1.To a foreigner, the most economical way to get around Thailand is renting a ________．
A. motorbike B. car C. taxi D. bike
2.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?
A. To make sure there is a meter in it.
B. To take a taxi parked outside hotels.
C. To take a taxi going on the road.
D. To bargain with the driver over the price.
3.It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because ________.
A. there were too many traffic jams on the roads
B. the signs were written only in their own language
C. there were no signs at the farthest corners
D. the quality of the roads was not good
