Most people would say that its to do with taking risks. Take fewer risks and youll have fewer accidents. But is taking risks reall

11、y a matter of choice? 4Some experts believe that whether or not you take risks in life has a lot to do with your upbringing (养育，培养) and, some believe, with your birth order. Parents are often stricter and more careful with their first child, and so first-born children tend to grow up taking fewer ri

12、sks. Parents are often more relaxed with a second or third child, so these children tend to take more risks.But why do children tend to have more accidents than adults? During childhood the body grows very quickly. There seem to be periods in these years when our brain and body are at different stag

13、es of development. Our arms are longer than the brain thinks they are, so we knock things over; our legs are longer than the brain believes, so we trip over easily.Besides, the research suggests the more time a child spends watching TV, the less they are developing their physical co-ordination (协调)

14、skills. It gives the child a false sense of how the world works and of how much danger it contains. If a child doesnt run around a lot, they dont begin to understand that the world is full of physical risks.So, what about adults? Some studies have shown that life in this world is a little difficult

15、for left-handed people. As we know, we live in a right-handed world. Everything - from cars to door handles, from childrens toys to engineering tools and equipment - is made by right-handed people. Therefore, left-handed children and adults are more likely to have accidents because the modern world

16、is not designed for them.21. Different from the first child, a second one tends to _.A. become ill more easily B. have more accidentsC. learn more quickly D. make more friends22. By saying “Our arms are longer than the brain thinks they are”, the author means that _.A. it is very easy for children t

17、o take risksB. our brain develops faster than the arms do5C. children often do more exercises than adultsD. it is important to give children a balanced diet23. Which of the following may have more accidents?A. Right-handed people. B. Children who often run around.C. Left-handed people. D. Children w

18、ho seldom watch TV.BDear Sir / Madam, It worried me a lot when I heard of the plan to cut down St Johns Wood to make a car park for shoppers. Although I agree that the town is short of car parks, this idea would be improper.In the first place, the wood is an area of natural beauty. There are many an

19、cient trees of an unusual kind. I often go there for a picnic or just to relax at weekends. The wood is, without doubt，a natural home for birds, animals and insects. If the trees were cut down, many species would be lost. Furthermore, the wood is right in the centre of a heavilypollutedpart of town.

20、 The treeshelp to make the air cleaner. The council （地方议会）says they are worried about global warming, yet they wish to cut down trees which help reduce the build-up of gases that lead to global warming because they feed on carbon dioxide. Besides, that area also suffers from high noise levels frompa

21、ssing trucks and the railway line. The trees help reduce the noise levels and do a lot of good to the whole environment.In my opinion, cutting down the wood would be stupid and pointless. A car park may well attract shoppers to the town and increase the shopkeepers trade. However, a beautiful part o

22、f our town would be destroyed. I would be very interested in hearing what your other readers think.Yours faithfully,Roland Chang624. What has made Roland Chang feel worried?A.

The town council.CAs computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the c

25、omputer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more. Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And comp

26、uter dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their writings are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer. Its faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And thats why computers are being used more and more often to modern e

27、ducation. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear. “When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.”7“Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students dont feel this is

28、 something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite? Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But tho

29、se characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers emotion. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a bette

30、r first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的 )and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.28.

35、 the hope that someone will read them and write back.With so many dating apps and services available nowadays, sending letters to a tree hardly sounds like the best way to find love.
