Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition after controlling for differences in parents income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate and translate shapes, Levine said in a statement.The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls.The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.CEmoji and Workplace CommunicationIn Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of millions, both at work and play. 36 . It s been reported that 76 percent of employees in some western countries are using emojis at work.Written communications can often read as cold and dull. Using emojis can add humor and feeling, keeping intention clear. 37 , encouraging better and more frequent communication.In any given office, employees can range from age 22 to 70 and beyond, and finding common ground in communication style can be a challenge. 38 . While the younger generations prefer to communicate visually, for those used to working with traditional tools like email, it may feel like a learning curve. The good news is that it s simple to learn and can be worth the effort.There is also the matter of tone. Who hasn t received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day? 39 . Emoji can help communication feel friendlier, and even a serious note can be softened with an encouraging smile.40 , and emoji can contribute directly to that positive outcome. And when your employees begin adding smiling emojis to their business communication, you ll know you have succeeded in improving your work culture.It was just after sunrise on a June morning. Nicolo, whose real name cannot be 41 to the public because of Italy s privacy laws, 42 working the whole night at a factory in Turin.

A teaching program.CWhen you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn't cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion(时装）enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. "It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur—unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year," says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. "The ecosystem down there can't handle this non-native species(物种). It's destroying the environment. It's them or us," says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it's not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300, 000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton's job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there's Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions. Model Paige Morgan says, "To give people a guilt﹣free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them—I think that's going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York." Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that usingnutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She's trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.8. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?A. To promote guilt-free fur.B. To expand the fashion market.C. To introduce a new brand.D. To celebrate a winter holiday.9. Why are scientists concerned about nutria?A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.B. Nutria are an endangered species.C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.D. Nutria are illegally hunted.10. What does the underlined word "collapsed" in paragraph 5 probably mean？A. Boomed．B. Became mature．C. Remained stable．D. Crashed．11. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan？A. Itˈs formal．B. Itˈs risky．C. Itˈs harmful．D. Itˈs traditional．DI have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.I always read, using different voices, as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.As a novelist, I've found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readersto go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.12. Which word best describes the authorˈs relationship with books as a child?A. Cooperative.B. Uneasy.C. Inseparable.D. Casual.13. What does the underlined phrase "an added meaning" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Pleasure from working in the library.B. Joy of reading passed on in the family.C. Wonderment from acting out the stories.D. A closer bond developed with the readers.14. What does the author call on other writers to do?A. Sponsor book fairs.B. Write for social media.C. Support libraries.D. Purchase her novels.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Reading： A Source of KnowledgeB. My Idea about WritingC. Library： A Haven for the YoungD. My Love of the LibraryEmoji(表情符号) and Workplace Communication In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of millions, both at work andplay. (1) .

You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, wh en you’re asleep?”“Sure.”zxx.k“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”5. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design6. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.7. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.8. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. zxx.kBookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.9. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B.To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B.An adventure.C.A public place.D. The identification number.11. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.12. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would b e outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship. The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back. As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.13.

The Essence of Perseverance and Its Impacton SuccessIn the depths of July 2020, students across the nation were engaged in the intense task of interpreting and responding to the English essay prompt on the National Volume 2 exam paper. This prompt, which centered on the concept of perseverance and its role in achieving success, provided a thought-provoking opportunity for young minds to delve into the nuances of resilience and its impact on our lives.The essence of perseverance lies in the unwavering commitment to a goal, despite the challenges and obstacles encountered. It is the silent warrior that whispers in our ears, urging us to push forward, even when the road ahead seems fraught with difficulties. This quality is not reserved for the few; it is an inherent trait that can be nurtured and harnessed by anyone with a determination to succeed.In the context of the essay prompt, perseverance is seen as the driving force behind the journey to success. It is the glue that binds our efforts and aspirations,ensuring that we do not veer off course or give up easily. Success, in this sense, is not merely a destination; it is a journey that is filled with learning, growth, and the satisfaction of overcoming challenges.The stories of successful individuals across various fields are testament to the power of perseverance. From scientists who spent years in research, to athletes who trained relentlessly, to entrepreneurs who faced numerous failures before achieving success, they all share a common thread: the unyielding spirit of perseverance.Moreover, perseverance is not just about achieving external success; it is also about developing inner strength and resilience. The process of persevering often involves overcoming self-doubt, managing emotions, and learning from failures. These skills are invaluable in every aspect of life, not just in the pursuit of career goals.In conclusion, perseverance is a critical component of success. It is the invisible force that propels us forward, helps us overcome obstacles, and ultimately leads us to our goals. As students, we should embrace the spirit ofperseverance and apply it to our academic pursuits, knowing that every effort, every struggle, and every failure is a stepping stone to success.Moreover, the importance of perseverance extends beyond the realm of personal achievements. It serves as a powerful reminder that progress and growth are not linear processes, but rather, they involve a series of trials andtribulations that shape us into stronger, more resilient individuals. By persevering, we not only achieve our individual goals, but we also contribute to the collective progress of society.In today's world, where the path to success is often fraught with complexities and uncertainties, perseverance becomes even more crucial. It is the compass that guides us through the maze of challenges, helping us maintain our direction and focus. It is the lifeline that sustains us during the toughest of times, reminding us that everyeffort counts and that no matter how slow the progress may seem, we are always moving forward.Furthermore, perseverance fosters a mindset of growth and development. It encourages us to view failures aslearning opportunities, to embrace challenges as sources of growth, and to constantly strive for improvement. This mindset, in turn, cultivates a positive attitude and a sense of agency that are essential for achieving success in any field.In conclusion, perseverance is not just a means to an end; it is a way of life. It is the invisible force that shapes our character, defines our journey, and ultimately determines our success. As students and future leaders, we must cultivate the spirit of perseverance and let it guide us through the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. For it is only through perseverance that we can transform our dreams into realities and create a brighter future for ourselves and for the world.**坚持的力量与成功的影响**2020年7月，全国各地的学子们沉浸在解读和回应全国二卷英语试卷作文题目的紧张任务中。
