35、 kindergarten, according to a 20-year study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health. Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation（相关性） betwe

36、en their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later. In 1991, teachers assessed how the kindergartners interacted with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting（激励）, if theyre helpful to others, whe

37、ther theyre good at understanding feelings, and if they can solve problems on their own. Researchers then kept track of whether the students went on to graduate high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full-time job by 25. They also monitored the participants involvement with c

38、rime, drug abuse, public assistance, and mental health issues. The results showed that socially competent children were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25 than those with limited social skills. Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting

39、arrested, binge（放纵） drinking, and applying for public housing. “This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future, said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

40、, which funded the research, in a release.“From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted. The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention（干预）at a young age can help improve

41、 social and emotional skills. “This research by itself doesnt prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on, he said. “But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life

42、.54. Paragraph 3 and 4 are mainly about？A.how the researchers conducted the study.B. how long it took to complete the study.C. when the researchers began their study.D. what factors were studied by the experts.55.What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?

The text makes very good sense to _.A. teenagers B. educators C. doctors D. general readersCTop branded perfumes come in tiny bottles, but many hide a w

44、hale sized secret.To perfect a particular smell, perfume makers often use an ingredient that comes from sperm whales (抹香鲸), called ambergris. But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer, is strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can smell sweet. Jo

45、erg Bohlmann is neither a perfumer nor a whale expert. Hes a plant biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. But his discovery of a new plant gene might push whales out of the perfume business.The gene comes from fir trees, found throughout North America and commonly used as Christm

46、as trees. The trees produce a chemical that can be used in perfume in place of ambergrisbut with a catch.“Theres a problem that many people wouldnt consider. In the tree, the chemical is mixed with many others. That makes separation a challenge” Bohlmann says. “Its like trying to isolate sugar from

47、a biscuit.”This is where science becomes useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the ambergris-like chemical, he decided to use his gene know-how to find the instructions for how to make the ambergris substitute.Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did som

48、ething that might sound strange to someone who doesnt work in genetics: Bohlmann put the gene from the tree into yeast (酵母) cells.Yeast may sound familiar because its used to make things like bread, wine and beer. Biologists like to work with yeast because it easily adopts new genes and changes its

49、features and behavior. When Bohlmann put the fir tree gene into the yeast, the yeast started making the same chemical that had been produced by the tree.Perfumers pay big money for ambergris because it is a fixative, which means it holds a smell in place on a persons body.“Cheap perfumes smell good

50、in the first hour or so and then everything is gone,” explains Bohlmann. “But expensive perfumes are much more stable. Their smell lasts much longer, for hours or even a day after you apply them.”The new chemical, made from the tree genes, can be used as a fixative, too. And using yeast to make it i

51、s far cheaper than acquiring ambergris.Bohlmann admits he never thought hed get into the perfume business. But now, he says, producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in new perfumes.57. It can be inferred from the passage that if a perfume contains ambergris, _.A.it is proba

52、bly very expensiveB. its smell will last for about an hourC. there will be a whale symbol on the bottle D. its user probably supports whale hunting58. The underlined expression “with a catch” in Paragraph 3 means _.A. being difficult to hold B. being too similarC. needing further testing D. having a

53、 hidden problem59. According to the passage, why are yeast cells often used in genetic research?A. They share some of the qualities of plant genes.B. They can take on the characteristics of other genes.C. They can reproduce much faster than other cells.D. Theyre much cheaper to use than ambergris.60

54、. What is the best title for the passage?A.The Christmas trees secret.B. The sweet smell of success.C.Whale free perfume.D. Save the whale.DA homeless man is fast becoming an Internet sensation（引起轰动的人）with his video blog of life on the street of Moscow, its reported. Yevgeny Yakut moved to the Russi

55、an capital, hopingto live better, but soon found himself one of the many homeless people in the city known for its housing shortage and high cost of living. But he thinks he has found a way out.“I was warmingmyself in a railway station when I saw television report on bloggers earning, money by makin

56、g advertisements,”he tells the TV channel Moscow 360. A young passer-by got chatting to him about the idea, and agreed to be Mr. Yakuts cameraman, using a smart phone to record his friendshumorous stories of daily struggle to“find food, a place to sleep, and keep out of the way of thepolice.”So view

57、ers could see how he lives in central Moscow without a home.They upload the regular videos to YouTube, where Mr. Yakut is hoping to attract enough subscribers（订阅者）to interest advertisers in his channel. So far, the pair have attracted more than 18,000 subscribers-around half of those since Russian m

He also shows viewers the best place he has found to wash and shave-a modern shopping centre bathroom-and how to

59、make use of the items other Muscovites have abandoned in the citys bins.The popularity of the pairs You Tube channel has impressed video-marketer Kirill Kalashnikov, who tells Moscow 360 that with some professional help,“this could be turned into a million subscribers within a year”.
