Center for Excellence in Child and Adolescent Health Research
Our research center was created to promote the health of babies, children, adolescents, and young adults by advancing meaningful and creative clinical(临床的)research. Through this website, we brings participants, families, researchers, health care providers, and the community into our research home where we can learn from one another. Together, we can promote the health of children and youth by advancing meaningful and innovative clinical research.
For Families & Caregivers
Currently, guidelines for treating children are often based on data from adult studies. To improve clinical care of children, more studies are needed focusing on children’s health with the goal to better diagnose, treat, and prevent the diseases that are specific to children. Learn how you can help doctors and nurses provide the best care.
For Teens & Young Adults
We need adolescents and young adults like you to help doctors and nurses provide the best care they can. Doctors and nurses use what they learn from research studies to take care of patients, but most of this research has been done with adults. Your bodies are different from older adults and your health needs are different too! We need you to help us learn about the best treatments for teens and young adults and you can make a difference.
For Health Care Providers
Considering the state of children treatment, child health research is the best way to advance medical care for children. We need children of different ages, genders, races, and neighborhoods to participate in studies so doctors will know which treatments work best for children.

I discovered the power of fear when I became stuck to my driveway, as if my feet were crazy glued to the cement(水泥). As much as I tried, I could not move them. The realization that my daughters were playing in Nancy’s house, just one-half block away, paralyzed(麻痹) my legs, making me unable to move when I neared the end of our driveway. Dense, black smoke was rising from behind the Sycamore Maple trees on the other side of the street and was enveloping three houses, making them barely visible. Nancy’s house was one of them.
I tried to call out for my daughters hoping to see them run safely to my arms, but my voice was also stuck — stuck in my throat with no intention of coming out. There I stood, helpless, paralyzed and silenced by fear, unable to protect the two little girls I loved more than even I had realized.
Although trapped in a body that couldn’t move or speak, I could still hear. I could hear other mothers anxiously calling their children. I could hear a frightening silence that covered the neighborhood instead of the usual happy voices of children. And, finally, I could hear the alarm of the fire engine. As the alarm announced, “We’re on our way,” it instantly dissolved the crazy glue that had held my feet to the cement and it unlocked the soundproof box that had silenced my voice. I was free to make sure my daughters were safe.
As I continued down the driveway, two little girls, my two little girls, ran toward me from across the street. They had come home to tell me about the fire in the garage next to Nancy’s house. Not only did my feet and voice work now, but my eyes were also in good working order and had no trouble producing tears.
4. Why was the author stuck to her driveway?
A. She was too tired to move her legs.
B. Thick black smoke blocked her view.
C. The cement on the driveway was still wet.
D. The fear for her daughters’ safety struck her.
5. What made the author able to move and speak again?
A. Shouting from other anxious mothers.
B. Strange silence in the neighborhood.
C. The alarm of the coming fire engine.
D. The courage to protect her daughters.
6. What does the author suggest at the end of the story?
A. She burst into tears of relief and happiness.
B. She was really thankful to see her girls saved.
C. She was too excited to believe what she saw.
D. She overcame her fear and fully recovered.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Love in Fire B. The Power of Fear
C. A Narrow Escape D. The Price of Fear
C
People speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing.
The Oxford English Dictionary(OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional differences in English around the world. They want to expand its record of the language.
Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was “cuddy wifter”, which means a left-handed person.
Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the response has been great. Editors are listing a bunch of suggestions to include in the dictionary.
These include Hawaii’s “hammajang”, which means “in a disorderly state”. Another is the word for a swimming costume, “dookers” or “duckers”. It is used in Scotland.
The OED also might include the word “frog-drowner”, which Americans might use to describe a downpour of rain. Another possibility is “brick”. It means “very cold” to people in New Jersey and New York City.
The dictionary has already found that, depending on location, a picture hanging off center might be described as “agley”. It might also be called “catawampous” or “ahoo”.
“The OED aims to cover all types of English,” Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED’s editors to identify regional words. The terms are more often spoken than written down.
The appeal is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for more suggestions. “We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words we were able to include,” said Maier.
8. “Freezing” is closest in meaning to .
A. hammajang B. dookers
C. brick D. ahoo
9. Which local word of the following is most likely from regions of the United Kingdom?
A. agley B. frog-drowner
C. cuddy wifter D. brick
10. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. It is challenging to create a complete collection of regional words.
B. People are not committed to responding to the appeal for regional words.
C. People use regional words only when they are home or with close friends.
D. Having an understanding of regional words can be helpful when communicating.
11. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?
A. It’s time to trace the source of local words.
B. The same English words can be used to say different things.
C. Oxford Dictionary aims to enlarge its collection to appeal to locals.
D. Oxford Dictionary will include more regional words from around the globe.
D
There is a beautiful story I heard once about a child playing with a vase(花瓶) his mother had left on the table for a few moments. When the mother turned at the sound of her son crying, she saw that his hand was in the vase and was apparently stuck. She tried to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out in pain. But the hand was stuck fast. How would they get it out? The father suggested breaking the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the process. Yet he knew that if all else failed, there would be no other alternative. So he said to the boy, “Now, let’s make one more try. Open your hand and stretch your fingers out straight, like I’m doing, and then pull!” “But Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that, I’ll lose my penny!”
The boy had had a coin in his hand all the time and was holding it securely in his tight little fist. And he wasn’t prepared to open his hand and lose the penny. But once he opened his hand, it came out of the vase easily.
I used to hold on to things in my life that I thought were so important to me. Early in my marriage, all I cared about was becoming the best volleyball player in the state of Wisconsin. One year, when Kristi was working shifts at General Motors, I played in 1,400 games, competing four nights a week and 40 out of 52 weekends. My team won over 1,000 games. Success on the volleyball court, but a huge loss in my relationship with my Kristi.
When I finally let go, I looked back at what I had done and was ashamed. Not only did I show my wife she wasn’t the most important thing to me, but I missed out on a lot of relationship building time. My life is so much richer now that I am not a slave to that drive to be the best player I could be.
12. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Beautiful Vase in Your Life
B. The Way of Keeping Balance in Life
C. My Dream of Becoming the Best Volleyball Player
D. Holding On to What Is Important
13. The author tells the story about the boy and the vase to show ______.
A. how naughty a little boy can be
B. we need to drop the unimportant things in our life
C. a little boy may do something silly
D. money is not the most important for us
14. Why did the boy get his hand stuck in the vase?
A. He had a coin in his hand.
B. He didn’t know how to stretch his fingers.
C. He was afraid to break the vase.
D. His hand was hurt inside the vase.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The author had his relationship with Kristi improved.
B. The author didn’t regret what he had done.
C. The author still plays volleyball as much as before.
D. Kristi left the author in the end.

The world is a colorful landscape of different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. It’s important to have a good understanding of different cultures in order to become a well-rounded person. 16
One way is to read hooks written by authors from a particular culture. Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an authentic glimpse into the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people.
17
Another way to learn about different cultures is to try to learn a foreign language. 18 A person can choose a language she has always wanted to learn and locate learning programs to help her master the language. Besides, one can enroll in a foreign language class in order to learn in a more formal setting. One can also try to visit areas of the city to establish social connection with native speakers of the language.
19 Seek out restaurants that feature authentic food from a variety of countries. Food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to gain deep understanding into a particular cultural group’s way of life.
Communicating with people from other countries through email or snail mail is another useful way to become familiar with different cultures. 20 Various websites offer pen pal services, offering to connect individuals with pen friends around the world.
