A dog, it is said, is a man’s best friend. Put a dog, a kid and a book together, and you have a struggling reader’s best friend.
The therapy dogs of R.E.A.D. – Reading Education Assistance Dogs – have been helping children improve their reading skills since 1999, when Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) began the program in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Today, tens of thousands of R.E.A.D. teams – dogs and their owners – volunteer to spend time with youngsters in schools and libraries across the United States and around the world. The idea is that sharing a book with a nonjudgmental (不带评论的) partner encourages students’ confidence and helps develop a love of reading.
Izzy, a Havanese therapy dog, is a regular visitor to Public School 57 in East Harlem, New York. Students meet him in the library, pick out a book and sit down on the carpet. Izzy snuggles (依偎) up to them and gets ready to hear a story.
“I love reading to Izzy because he listens to me, and he doesn’t make fun of me when I make a mistake,” says third-grader Aelane Vasquez. The 9-year-old, whose parents are from Mexico, is one of 15 Latin-American students at the school who were selected for the program.
“All the students that we work with in the R.E.A.D. program were behind reading levels at the beginning of the year,” Bridget McElroy, who teaches English as a Second Language, explained. “Now most of them have reached the average level, if not above it.” That’s important, because achieving proficiency (熟练) in reading is vital for kids to succeed. Studies have shown that students who can’t read at grade level by the end of third grade are four times less likely to graduate high school by the age of 19.
The R.E.A.D. teams from New York Therapy Animals work with 175 kids at Public School 57 and nine other schools.
McElroy said she sees a marked difference in Aelane and her classmates, and not just in study. “Not only do the kids have time to practice reading, what we are really seeing is that they are excited to read and practice even when Izzy is not here,” she said.
25. According to this passage, dogs are the best friend of kids because ____.
A. they keep kids company through therapy
B. they can protect kids from danger
C. they are helpful to encourage kids to read
D. they are struggling and work hard
26. What does the example of Aelane Vasquez show?
A. Kids from Mexico love reading to Izzy.
B. Only Latin-American students can be chosen for the program.
C. The R.E.A.D. teams are responsible for the selection.
D. Listening without judgment is inspiring for the kids.
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The students in the R.E.A.D. program improve a lot only in study.
B. Without proficiency in reading, it’s difficult for kids to succeed.
C. All the students in the R.E.A.D. program can be above the reading level.
D. When not accompanied by the dog, kids will stop practicing reading consequently.

C
How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?
Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry. Psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal.
In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more.
According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈电路) in the teens’ brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “likes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.
So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible?
Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.
In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.
In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.
“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.
28. You may find this text in a magazine about ____.
A. technology
B. education
C. entertainment
D. social life
29. Who will NOT naturally expect attention according to Radwan?
A. People who are living with their parents.
B. Those who lack social recognition.
C. People who are the focus of attention.
D. Those who want to blanket what they’ve done.
30. We know from the last paragraph that ____.
A. checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of time
B. it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributions
C. focusing on one’s self-esteem is quite natural
D. self-teem has a bad effect on one’s goals
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s addiction to “thumbs up”?
A. worried.
B. objective.
C. critical.
D. supportive.

D
Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, sibling (兄弟姐妹) or colleague, remember they could be helping to make you smarter.
New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be boosted throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching (拉伸) careers.
The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is static by the age of about 18. Current scientific consensus suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a partial role up to this age. After this point, IQ scores stabilize (稳定).
But James Flynn, professor of political studies and psychology at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their own intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation (刺激) from others is crucial as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true – so people sharing a home or workplace with those who are intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels fall as a result.
He found the “understanding quality” of a family changes the IQs of all members, especially children. It can “lift” or hold back, depending on the “gap between their brightness and that of their siblings and parents”. A bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage, compared to a similar child with equally bright siblings. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter siblings and special educational treatment to help pull them up.
Professor Flynn also concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80 percent of intelligence, the remaining 20 percent is linked to lifestyle. This means that people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. Therefore, the best way to boost IQ level is to mix with bright friends, find an intellectually challenging job and marry someone cleverer.
32. We can learn from the passage that ____.
A. as the age grows, you will become smarter
B. a 35-year-old man is surely smarter than himself at the age of 18
C. you will be smarter if you have a partner, a friend or a sibling
D.
