Every parent wants their children t develp well. Smetimes it seems that a child’s game is empty entertainment and it wuld be better t replace it with smething mre useful. Hwever, fr a child, play is the main way f interacting with the wrld, mastering new knwledge and skills.
The game frms a unique mdel f the wrld, redesigned in accrdance with the needs and capabilities f the children. It reflects the real wrld and helps t master it. That is why it is s imprtant t chse the right tys fr yur children.
Fr a child, any game is the same prductive activity as wrk fr an adult. And if the result f adult wrk is the prduced “prduct”, fr children, the result f the game is new knwledge abut the wrld and a better understanding f hw the wrld wrks.

In shrt, play is critical t develpment because it is the way a child interacts with the wrld.
Thrugh the game, children learn new skills and develp speech, thinking and lgic, memry, attentin and ther mental functins. In games, children learn t fllw the rules, cntrl their behavirs, develp cmmunicatin skills with peers and adults.

The game als will bring pleasure, jy and a lt f ther psitive emtins t children- and the significance f this cannt be underestimated. Als, thrugh the game, children learn t be prud f their success, which supprts their self-esteem. Adequate self-esteem is the key t the full develpment f the individual.

Humans have been living and wrking n the space statin fr ver 20 years. Their meals are packaged, thugh smetimes astrnauts receive fresh treats frm resupply missins. The lnger that packaged fd is stred, the mre it lses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
Astrnauts have successfully grwn 10 different crps n the space statin since 2015 and had the chance t sample (品尝) each ne. The Internatinal Space Statin hsted a party fr astrnauts n Friday as they celebrated the harvest f the first chili peppers (辣椒) grwn in space. The crew finally had a chance t taste the peppers after initially kicking ff the plant experiment n the space statin in July.
Plant Habitat-04 is ne f the mst cmplex plant experiments n the rbiting labratry t date because peppers take much lnger t grw than the previus experiment plants. After grwing fr fur mnths, the peppers were harvested n Friday.
Peppers prvide a great surce f vitamin C, as well as ther key nutrients. Pepper plants self-pllinate (自花授粉), s they are easy t grw, and they are a pick-and-eat crp that desn’t have t be cked. They are als safe t eat raw.
A side effect f life in zer gravity is that astrnauts ften lse sme f their taste and smell, s spicy r well-seasned fds are a favrite. Adding fresh greens r peppers t the menu allws astrnauts t liven up their regular meals. But grwing and tending t the plants can als prduce ther benefits.
Astrnauts have described the jy frm seeing — as well as smelling and caring fr — leafy green plants n the space statin that remind them f Earth.
“Grwing clrful vegetables in space can have lng-term benefits fr physical and psychlgical health,” said Matt Rmeyn, principal investigatr fr the experiment. “We are discvering that grwing plants and vegetables with clrs and smells helps t imprve astrnauts’ well-being.”

C. Never tasty.D. Full f vitamins.

Engineering researchers at the University f Waterl are successfully using a rbt t help keep children with learning disabilities fcused n their wrk. This was ne f the key results in a new study that als fund bth the yungsters and their instructrs valued the psitive classrm cntributins made by the rbt.
“Overall, the findings demnstrate that the rbt has a psitive effect n students,” said Dr. Kerstin Dautenhahn, a prfessr f electrical and cmputer engineering.
Educatrs have in recent years explred the use f scial rbts t help students learn, but mst ften, their research has fcused n children with autism (孤独症). As a result, little wrk has been dne n the use f scially assistive rbts fr students with learning disabilities.
Alng with tw ther Waterl engineering researchers and three experts frm the Learning. Disabilities Sciety in Vancuver, Dautenhahn decided t change this, cnducting a series f tests with a small humanid (仿人的) rbt called QTrbt.
Dautenhahn said the rbt’s ability t perfrm gestures using its head and hands, accmpanied by its speech and facial features, makes it very suitable fr children with learning disabilities.
Building n prmising earlier research, the researchers divided 16 students with learning disabilities int tw grups. In ne grup, students wrked ne n-ne with an instructr nly. In the ther grup, the students wrked ne-n-ne with an instructr and a QTrbt. In the latter grup, the instructr used a tablet t direct the rbt, which then autnmusly perfrmed varius activities using its speech and gestures. While the instructr cntrlled the sessins, the rbt tk ver at certain times t lead the students.
Besides intrducing the sessin, the rbt set gals and prvided self-regulating strategies, if necessary. If the learning prcess was getting ff- track, the rbt used strategies such as games, riddles and physical mvements t redirect the students back t the task.
“Students wh wrked with the rbt,” Dautenhahn said, “were generally mre engaged with their tasks and culd cmplete their tasks at a higher rate cmpared t the students wh weren’t assisted by a rbt.
12. What can we knw abut Dautenhahn’s research?
A. It seeks t prvide a treatment fr autism.
B. It attempts t replace teachers with rbts in teaching.
C. It intends t educate students t be creative and prductive.
D. It studies the effects f rbts n students with learning disabilities.
13. What is the sixth paragraph mainly abut?
A. The rle the rbt played.
B. The prcess f the research.
C. The utcmes f the tw grups.
D. The range f the participants invlved.
14. Hw did the QTrbt help distracted students cncentrate in class?
A. It warned the student directly by speech.
B. It assigned tasks fr the student t cmplete.
C. It infrmed the instructr t intervene in the learning prcess.
D. It attracted the student’s attentin thrugh interesting activities.
15 What des Dautenhahn’s research imply?
A. Rbts prmte students’ academic perfrmance greatly.
B. There is great ptential fr using rbts in the educatin system.
C. Teachers are defeated by rbts when it cmes t mtivating students.
D. Students are becming mre independent with the assistance f rbts.

Every parent wants their children t develp well. Smetimes it seems that a child’s game is empty entertainment and it wuld be better t replace it with smething mre useful. Hwever, fr a child, play is the main way f interacting with the wrld, mastering new knwledge and skills.

Fr a child, any game is the same prductive activity as wrk fr an adult.

Humans have been living and wrking n the space statin fr ver 20 years. Their meals are packaged, thugh smetimes astrnauts receive fresh treats frm resupply missins. The lnger that packaged fd is stred, the mre it lses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
Astrnauts have successfully grwn 10 different crps n the space statin since 2015 and had the chance t sample (品尝) each ne. The Internatinal Space Statin hsted a party fr astrnauts n Friday as they celebrated the harvest f the first chili peppers (辣椒) grwn in space. The crew finally had a chance t taste the peppers after initially kicking ff the plant experiment n the space statin in July.
Plant Habitat-04 is ne f the mst cmplex plant experiments n the rbiting labratry t date because peppers take much lnger t grw than the previus experiment plants. After grwing fr fur mnths, the peppers were harvested n Friday.
Peppers prvide a great surce f vitamin C, as well as ther key nutrients. Pepper plants self-pllinate (自花授粉), s they are easy t grw, and they are a pick-and-eat crp that desn’t have t be cked. They are als safe t eat raw.
A side effect f life in zer gravity is that astrnauts ften lse sme f their taste and smell, s spicy r well-seasned fds are a favrite. Adding fresh greens r peppers t the menu allws astrnauts t liven up their regular meals. But grwing and tending t the plants can als prduce ther benefits.

“Grwing clrful vegetables in space can have lng-term benefits fr physical and psychlgical health,” said Matt Rmeyn, principal investigatr fr the experiment. “We are discvering that grwing plants and vegetables with clrs and smells helps t imprve astrnauts’ well-being.”

Engineering researchers at the University f Waterl are successfully using a rbt t help keep children with learning disabilities fcused n their wrk. This was ne f the key results in a new study that als fund bth the yungsters and their instructrs valued the psitive classrm cntributins made by the rbt.
“Overall, the findings demnstrate that the rbt has a psitive effect n students,” said Dr. Kerstin Dautenhahn, a prfessr f electrical and cmputer engineering.
Educatrs have in recent years explred the use f scial rbts t help students learn, but mst ften, their research has fcused n children with autism (孤独症). As a result, little wrk has been dne n the use f scially assistive rbts fr students with learning disabilities.
Alng with tw ther Waterl engineering researchers and three experts frm the Learning. Disabilities Sciety in Vancuver, Dautenhahn decided t change this, cnducting a series f tests with a small humanid (仿人的) rbt called QTrbt.
Dautenhahn said the rbt’s ability t perfrm gestures using its head and hands, accmpanied by its speech and facial features, makes it very suitable fr children with learning disabilities.
Building n prmising earlier research, the researchers divided 16 students with learning disabilities int tw grups. In ne grup, students wrked ne n-ne with an instructr nly. In the ther grup, the students wrked ne-n-ne with an instructr and a QTrbt. In the latter grup, the instructr used a tablet t direct the rbt, which then autnmusly perfrmed varius activities using its speech and gestures. While the instructr cntrlled the sessins, the rbt tk ver at certain times t lead the students.
Besides intrducing the sessin, the rbt set gals and prvided self-regulating strategies, if necessary. If the learning prcess was getting ff- track, the rbt used strategies such as games, riddles and physical mvements t redirect the students back t the task.
“Students wh wrked with the rbt,” Dautenhahn said, “were generally mre engaged with their tasks and culd cmplete their tasks at a higher rate cmpared t the students wh weren’t assisted by a rbt.
12. What can we knw abut Dautenhahn’s research?
A. It seeks t prvide a treatment fr autism.
B. It attempts t replace teachers with rbts in teaching.
C. It intends t educate students t be creative and prductive.
D. It studies the effects f rbts n students with learning disabilities.
13. What is the sixth paragraph mainly abut?
A. The rle the rbt played.
B. The prcess f the research.
C. The utcmes f the tw grups.
D. The range f the participants invlved.
14. Hw did the QTrbt help distracted students cncentrate in class?
A. It warned the student directly by speech.
B. It assigned tasks fr the student t cmplete.
C. It infrmed the instructr t intervene in the learning prcess.
D. It attracted the student’s attentin thrugh interesting activities.
15 What des Dautenhahn’s research imply?
A. Rbts prmte students’ academic perfrmance greatly.
B. There is great ptential fr using rbts in the educatin system.
C. Teachers are defeated by rbts when it cmes t mtivating students.
