2．I became aware of my stutter（結(jié)巴）when I was around 9，in the fourth grade.I began to see how other people viewed me.When the teacher asked the whole class questions，I never raised my hand though I knew the answer，because I knew I would stutter.Some kids would tell me that I talked funny，ask why I didn't talk normally，or laugh at me.As soon as that started to happen，I became more introverted （內(nèi)向的）.
It wasn't until the summer of 2015，before freshman year at high school.All my friends and my parents encouraged me to join the high school football team.I owed much to them，especially Coach Lane who taught me how to play football.He took the time-and had the patience-to actually teach me what to do，how to do it and how to understand the concepts of play.
In junior year，I started my first game for the high school team.I had a very good season and in January 2018，I signed the University of North Carolina.The older we get，the more of an understanding we have about the world and other people.So the first time my teammates in college heard me talk and heard that I stuttered，they did not say a thing.That was a big deal to me because I was so used to people making comments.My teammates actually tell me to slow down because talking faster causes me to stutter more.It's really helped me develop confidence.
Whenever I go back home to Georgia，I volunteer with children at my church，including those who have learning disabilities.I like to do that to inspire them with confidence.I had confidence issues when I was a kid because of my stutter，so I just don't want them to have to go through what I did.In the future，I would like to start a foundation to give back to people who stutter and create a program where kids all across the world who have a stutter can have a safe space.

3．A paper published on November 15 in Current Biology suggests that a patch（小塊）of cells developed for identifying human faces，the fusiform face area（FFA），is up and running in infants（嬰兒）as young as two months old.
Rebecca Saxe，a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology，and her colleagues scanned 42 infants ranging in age from two to nine months using a special functional magnetic resonance（磁共振）imaging（fMRI）helmet designed specifically for babies.Data from 16 of the infants had to be thrown out because it is extremely difficult to keep them happy，still and awake for long.For the 26 remaining infants，the scientists compared activity in visual areas of the brain while they watched 2.7-second video clips that described faces，body parts，landscapes，and other objects.Results showed more activity in the areas of the brain's visual system that are specialized for recognizing faces，bodies and scenes than areas for other observed objects.
"There's every reason to think that babies are born expecting and looking for their most important social partners，" Saxe says."Something in their brain makes them interested in faces actually before they've had any experience with faces at all.Babies look toward face-like images from hours after birth."
Other researchers are not convinced by Saxe's conclusions. "I don't believe that there are face patches present at birth，" Livingstone says.He views experience and learning are essential for the development of the FFA.
To Kalanit Grill-Spector，a psychology professor at Stanford University，the most exciting part of the new paper is not about this question of learned versus inborn development. "I think the study is kind of attempting to address this question，but it doesn't really provide a perfect answer one way or another.What impressed me is the amount of babies that they've scanned and with a lot of new innovations in baby fMRI，" she says. "That's going to push the field forward."
（1）Why were the data from the 16 infants abandoned？
A．Because the infants didn't watch the video clips.
B．Because the infants made no response to the objects.
C．Because the infants couldn't focus on objects for some time.
D．Because the infants were unwilling to wear helmets for long.
（2）How did the researchers get the results？
A．By listing figures.
B．By asking questions.
C．By analyzing reasons.
D．By making comparisons.
（3）Which statement would Rebecca Saxe probably agree with？
A．Infants can process facial patterns and give them meaning.
B．Specialized areas for recognizing faces are present at birth.
C．Some abilities of the visual system are gradually developed.
D．Experience and learning are essential for the development of the FFA.
（4）Which word best describes Grill-Spector's attitude to the way of the research？
A．Objective.
B．Skeptical.
C．Favorable.
D．Disapproving.組卷：10引用：3難度：0.5

Ali and his younger sister，Zahra，lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood.Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job，and they had only a little money with which to buy food.As they had not paid the rent for several months，the landlord was breathing down their necks （盯著他們）.
One day，Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed，but he lost them on the way home.It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes.He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed，so he begged his sister to keep it secret.Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes.Zahra's school hours were in the morning，so she would wear them first.After school，she would rush back and give them to Ali.He could then run to his school，which began in the afternoon.Although he ran as fast as he could，Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes，he decided to take part.He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived.Ali had a strong start，but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache.Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her.Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength，and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners，determined to finish third.Suddenly，as the finish line drew near，another runner collided （碰撞） with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
