18、s now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners. Having been an immigrant (移民 ) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployme

25、ing to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didnt like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Moms friend was waiting to give us a ride homeour fir
26、st car ride of the day. The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的 ). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidencethe product of a childhood not spen
27、t exploring subway tunnels. Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolboxand
28、often an inadequate( 不适当的 ) one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet. On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got o
29、lder, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off How do I know how much it costs How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them What track, what line, which direction, wheres the stop, and will

D Car. 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 B How is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹 ) can turn out so differently One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a co
34、mpletely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few ye
35、ars; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father. Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others l
36、ives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children arent getting the same one-on-one time with parents. But that doesnt mean that the younger children have problems with language development. L
37、ater-borns dont enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”. A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that s
38、iblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs. One way children seek more attention from parents is by making them
39、selves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine th
40、an girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents. 【小题 1】 The underlined part “in a diffe

44、ch helped start a revolution in higher education. A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers. Written by Sophia Jex-Blake in 1873, the seven-page document, which urged the university to allow wom
45、en to study medicine at the institution, was released yesterday on International Womens Day. The document was discovered buried in the university archives (档案 ) by part-time history student Lis Smith, who is completing her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish Historical Research. She said: “We kn
46、ew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters, in their effort to open up university medical education for women, had written to the Senatus Academicus (校评议委员会 ) at St Andrews in an attempt to gain permission to attend classes there, but we didnt know documentary evidence existed. While searching the
47、archives for information about the universitys higher certificate for women, I was astonished to come across what must be the very letter Jex-Blake wrote.” In the letter, Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitable buildings for a medical school and to arrange for lectures t

Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishment of the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-learning degree for women. The qualification, which ran from 1877 until the 1930s, gave women access to university education in the days before they were admitted as students.
