Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behin
14、d academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out(退学). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. “When children work on a project“
15、, says Lillian Kate, an educational professor at the University of Illinois, “they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions. These skills cant be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but dont have any social skills.
16、Relationships should be the first “. At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world. Just as the 1-year-old struggling to walk the 6-year
17、-old is struggling to meet adult expectations.

22、lligence and respect.Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age. The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact tha
23、t their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age. “We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age, “ said the head of the study, of Liverpool John Moore University in the UK. “Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to
24、beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men, “ said Gold Spink. “This is part of the ageing process. “ What surprises scientist is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as w
25、ell as a 20-year-old ones. “This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men, “ said Gold Spink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. The team has yet to find

For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The
39、child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy productsor to ask their parents to buy for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get somethin
40、g for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to
41、 the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size“ or “Family Size“ printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most products for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product
42、is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.（分数：10.00）(1).“A
