Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 40 Play is the principal business of childhood, and more and more in recent years research has shown the gre

31、at importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right material for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which childre

32、n will play often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child s development. In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is

33、 largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. The next stage, fro

34、m three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling and making things; sand and

35、water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play;the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. By the third stage of play development from five to seven or eight years the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at sch

36、ool. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same thing to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, they lead on t

37、o new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. 41 The writer wants us to understand that a child_. （ A） has to be taught how to play （ B） likes a toy （ C） matures through play （ D） can grow up with toys 42 Toy

These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power. No longer

41、 will a nation s political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It s often said that without its military the Soviet Unio

42、n would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world. America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events ove

43、r the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess(威力 )over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic(有讽刺性的 )that it is just this prowess that

44、has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership. The competitiveness of America s industrial base is an issue bigger than the department of defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society, government, industry, and

45、 education. That is not to say that the defense department will not be a strong force in the process. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior(救星 )of American industry. 46 Now a nation s political influence depends on_. （ A） the strength of its military forces （
