27、take him on a trip to the seaside. On the trip, she at last found an answer for him. Today her son no longer cares about rankings.

33、don in 1863. At the time， the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London.

41、 C 【小题 4】 B Many parents watch the news or other shows as children play nearby. But new research shows that even when the television is just background noise， it may be disruptive to a childs normal development. Its estimated that 75 percent of very young children in the United States live in homes
42、where the television is on most of the time， even though the kids often arent watching it. The University of Massachusetts researchers recently studied how TV background noise might affect young children. The study looked at 50 1-， 2-and 3-year-olds. Each child came to a lab with a parent and was al
43、lowed to play for an hour with various toys. For half the time， a television was on in the room， showing the adult game show as well as advertisements.

44、less than a few seconds at a time， and less than once a minute. Even so， the distraction (分心 ) of the background noise had a significant effect on how children at every age played. When the television was on， the children played with each toy for far shorter periods of time， and focused attention du
45、ring play was also shorter compared to how they played when the TV was off. Researchers said that even though the children arent interested in the show，background TV affects their ability to do various types of play. The finding is important because many well-meaning parents who wouldnt let their yo
46、ung children watch television may not realize that even adult programs that dont interest children still can have an effect. “Background TV is potentially a chronic (长期的 ) environmental risk factor affecting most American children， ” said the lead author of the study. “Parents should limit their you
