S. government passed a law, which said that theland of the American Indians could never be takenfrom them without their.agreem en t. :O. n e hundred. years later,however, the Indians only
17、 had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America At first, the set-tlers and the Indians lived in peace. However; the number of settlers increased greatly ev- ery year. and slowly
18、 the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their surmv-al. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle against starvatiorx The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common
19、 in white society, but which were new forthe Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100, 000 t0 30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respe
20、ct for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the federal governm ent began to move groups of Indians from their original home-lands to other poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They began to attack w
21、hite settlers, and the Indian Wars began. For thirty years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man* They had a few famous successes but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they were too power

29、xperiments and observations to determine on which side women hold their babies and why.First they determined that modern mothers tend to hold their baby on the left. Of 155 right-handed mothers, 83% held the baby on the left. And out of 32 left-handed mothers, 78% held the baby on the left. As a con
30、trol, women were watched emerging from super- markets carrying baby-sized packages; the bundles were held with no side preference (偏爱).A large number of mothers who brought their premature babies to a follow-up clinic were seen to hold their babies against their right side. So, 155 mothers who had b
31、een sepa- rated from their babies for 24 hours right after birth were observed for holding response. The experimenters presented the baby directly to the mid-line of the mothers body, and noted that 53% placed the baby on the left and 47% on the right. The author suggests the time immediately after
32、birth is a critical period when the stimulus of holding the baby releases a certain maternal response. That is to say, she senses that the baby is better off on her left. Left-handed holding enables the baby to hear the heartbeat, a sound associated with the security of the womb. In order to discove
33、r whether hearing the heartbeat has a beneficial effect on the baby, the sound of a human heartbeat was played t0 102 babies in a nursery for 4 days. A control group of babies was not exposed to heartbeats. The babies in the experiment group gained more weight and cried far less than the babies in t
34、he control group.21. Who did not show side preference for holding babies?(B)A. The mothers who had divorced from their husbands.B. The mothers who had been separated from their babies for 24 hours after birth.C. The mothers whose babies had been placed in control groups.D. The mothers who had lived
35、a luxurious life.22. According to the passage, the time right after birth is important because_ D A. the mother can hear the babys heartbeat in that periodB the mother is ready at all times to satisfy the babys needsC. the baby can hear the mothers heartbeatD. the mother has an instinctive tendency
36、to hold the baby on the left23. Why did the scientists watch women coming out of supermarkets?(A)A. To see if they carried parcels and babies differently.B. To see how they carried their babies.C.

37、 left-handed.24.

Who tend to hold their babies on the left according to the experiment?(C)A Left-handed women.B. R
38、ight-handed womenC. Both right-handed mothers and left-handed mothers.D. Women who hold parcels on the left.Passage Three . ; . So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and 1earningn, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. T
39、eachingchildren to rea.d is not passing reading on to them It is dertairily not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that reading cannot be taught di-rectly and schools shoulcl stop trying to do the impossible. Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. T
40、hey differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to readl Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves
41、 all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If roles of teacher and learner are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that
42、will aid the child in the quest (探索 ) for knowledge? Smith has one princi- pal rule for all teaching instructions. Make learning to read easy. which means making. reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are9 a
43、nd when both teachers and learners fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an envi- ronment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.2

47、ething acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believed30.
