When Christie Andrews was born, she weighed less that half of one kilogram. Her heart was the size of a large coin. Her mother said Christie was so small that she could hold her in the palm of one hand.

         Christie couldn’t breathe without a machine to give her oxygen. If she had been born 20 years earlier, she would probably have died at once. She needed two operations, but she survived without serious damage.

         Twenty years ago , 90% of all premature(早产) babies died. Today, doctors manage to save four out of every five, because they have better machines for breathing and better ways to feed the babies.

         But saving Christie’s life cost more than $ 400,000. In some cases, doctors spend 1 million dollars saving a single child. The parents usually don’t have enough money to pay. The government, an insurance company or the hospital picks up the bill. Even after a baby goes home from the hospital, it may require medical care.

         Some people think it makes more sense to spend money saving 10 adults who have cancer or other diseases than saving one small baby. But nobody wants to be the doctor who has to tell parents to their faces, “Sorry, I won’t save your new child.”

1. Parents don’t pay their babies’ hospital bills because        .

A. they don’t have enough money

B. they would rather save cancer patients

C. doctors don’t care if the babies die

D. it makes more sense to have a bigger baby

2.The true cost of saving a baby may be even more than 1 million because        .

A. oxygen machine are expensive

B. the baby may require medical care after it leaves the hospital

C. doctors always charge more than they should

D. four out of five premature babies can now be saved

3.From the story we know that saving a cancer patient        .

A. is easier than saving a baby                           B. is harder than saving a baby

C. is cheaper than saving a baby                      D. is more common than saving a baby

4.The main idea of the article is        .

A. doctors must never decide whether to save babies or cancer patients

B. doctors are able to save premature babies, but the cost is very high

C. having a premature baby was cheaper and safer 20 years ago

D. Christie survived because the hospital paid her bills

Play is the basic business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy(婴儿), every child needs opportunity and right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back again and again. Therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.

In recent years, research on baby development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited(遗传的)abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.

In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws(七巧板)and construction toys; painting, scribbling(涂鸦)and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play—the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.

But at the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years old— the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school.It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.

Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child.But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.

1. What does the writer want to tell us in the first paragraph?

A.    Children should choose toys by themselves.

B.    Children like playing, but they don’t need any toys.

C.    Children should be given different toys as they grow up.

D.    Children should be given the same toys as they grow up.

E.     58.According to the passage, we can give the child every kind of toys ________.

A.when he is two             B.when he is around four

C.when he is six              D.when he is eight

2.When a child is seven years old, what is the main source of learning?

A. Toys.      B. Books.    C. Jigsaws.   D. Paintings.

3. What is the article mainly about?

A.The importance of schooling.

B.The choice of toys for children.

   C.The importance of pre-school education.

D.The role of play in a child’s development.

The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles(吹熄蜡烛) on a birthday cake and singing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.
In China, on a child’s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what job the child will choose later in life.
For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration(庆祝) Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.
In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.
Eighteen is the traditional ‘coming of age’— the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote (选举权), join the army (参军)and (in Britain) drink alcohol (酒)or buy a house.
In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

When Christie Andrews was born, she weighed less that half of one kilogram. Her heart was the size of a large coin. Her mother said Christie was so small that she could hold her in the palm of one hand.
Christie couldn’t breathe without a machine to give her oxygen. If she had been born 20 years earlier, she would probably have died at once. She needed two operations, but she survived without serious damage.
Twenty years ago , 90% of all premature(早产) babies died. Today, doctors manage to save four out of every five, because they have better machines for breathing and better ways to feed the babies.
But saving Christie’s life cost more than $ 400,000. In some cases, doctors spend 1 million dollars saving a single child. The parents usually don’t have enough money to pay. The government, an insurance company or the hospital picks up the bill. Even after a baby goes home from the hospital, it may require medical care.
Some people think it makes more sense to spend money saving 10 adults who have cancer or other diseases than saving one small baby. But nobody wants to be the doctor who has to tell parents to their faces, “Sorry, I won’t save your new child.”
【小题1】 Parents don’t pay their babies’ hospital bills because        .
A.they don’t have enough money
B.they would rather save cancer patients
C.doctors don’t care if the babies die
D.it makes more sense to have a bigger baby
【小题2】The true cost of saving a baby may be even more than 1 million because        .
A.oxygen machine are expensive
B.the baby may require medical care after it leaves the hospital
C.doctors always charge more than they should
D.four out of five premature babies can now be saved
【小题3】From the story we know that saving a cancer patient        .
A.is easier than saving a babyB.is harder than saving a baby
C.is cheaper than saving a baby D.is more common than saving a baby
【小题4】The main idea of the article is        .
A.doctors must never decide whether to save babies or cancer patients
B.doctors are able to save premature babies, but the cost is very high
C.having a premature baby was cheaper and safer 20 years ago
