Center for Excellence in Child and Adolescent Health Research

Our research center was created to promote the health of babies, children, adolescents, and young adults by advancing meaningful and creative clinical（临床的）research. Through this website, we brings participants, families, researchers, health care providers, and the community into our research home where we can learn from one another. Together, we can promote the health of children and youth by advancing meaningful and innovative clinical research.

For Families & Caregivers

    Currently, guidelines for treating children are often based on data from adult studies. To improve clinical care of children, more studies are needed focusing on children’s health with the goal to better diagnose, treat, and prevent the diseases that are specific to children. Learn how you can help doctors and nurses provide the best care.

    For Teens & Young Adults

    We need adolescents and young adults like you to help doctors and nurses provide the best care they can. Doctors and nurses use what they learn from research studies to take care of patients, but most of this research has been done with adults. Your bodies are different from older adults and your health needs are different too! We need you to help us learn about the best treatments for teens and young adults and you can make a difference.

    For Health Care Providers

    Considering the state of children treatment, child health research is the best way to advance medical care for children. We need children of different ages, genders, races, and neighborhoods to participate in studies so doctors will know which treatments work best for children.

21. How will the center promote the health of children?

    A. By researching the effects of adult medicine on children.

    B. By comparing and learning research results of the community.

    C. By making creative clinical research.

    D. By connecting with families and communities regularly.

22. What are guidelines for children treatment based on?

    A. Information from adult studies.        B. Data from children too long ago.

    C. Statistics with connection of parents.   D. Experience built up through generations.

23. Who does the passage ask for help for the research?

    A. Doctors and researchers.             B. Teachers and researchers.

    C. Social health care workers.           D. Teens and young adults.

 What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn’t prerequisite for a modern grow-your-own lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can（装罐）and preserve much of the food they consume.

 Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert. She also operates a website, where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that every has the ability to control what’s on their plate.

 Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food. “I got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs (香草) and foods for that fresh flavor,”she said. Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night school. She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.

“I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm,” Loe said. Through her website Loe emphasizes that “anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartment with a balcony （阳台）? Plant some herbs. A window? Perfect spot for growing. Start with herbs, she recommends, because “they’re very forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level,” she added. “I think it’s a great place to start.” “Then? Try growing something from a seed, she said, like a tomato or some tea.”

Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does. With every planted food. Loe noted, there’s a moment when it’s bursting with its absolute peak flavor. “I try and keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar,” Loe said. “Canning for me is about knowing what’s in your food, knowing where it comes from.”

In addition to being more in touch with the food she’s eating, another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children: “Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the bigger picture,” she said, “that if we don’t take care of the earth, no will.”

24.The underlined word “prerequisite” (Pare. 1) is closest in meaning to “______”.

A. recipe      B. substitute    C. requirement    D. challenge

25.Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs?

A. They are used daily.

B. They are easy to grow.

C. They can grow very tall

D. They can be eaten uncooked

26.According to Loe, what is the benefit of canning her planted foods?

A. It can preserve their best flavor       

B. It can promote her online sales

C. It can better her cooking skills

D. It can improve their nutrition

27.What is the“the bigger picture” (Para. 6) that Loe wishes her children to understand?

A. The knowledge about good food

B. The way to live a grow-our-own life

C. The joy of getting in touch with foods  

D. The responsibility to protect our earth

C

    As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.

In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)".

According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

28. The passage begins with two questions to ______.

  A. introduce the main topic       B. show the author's attitude

C. describe how to use the Internet.   D. explain how to store information

29. What can we learn about the first experiment?

A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.

B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.

C. The first group did not try to remember the information.

D. The second group did not understand the information.

30. In transactive memory, people ______.

A. keep the information in mind      B. change the quantity of information

C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information

31. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?

A. We are using memory differently.  B. We are becoming more intelligent.

C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information.

                                             D

The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.

History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.

In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.

Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.

32. According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?

A. It introduces different cultural values.

B. It explains the history of artistic works.

C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.

D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.

33. In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____    .

A. great works of art can go beyond national boundaries

B. history gives art works special appeal to set them apart

C. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts

D. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures

34. According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____     .

A .they are results of scientific study

B. they establish some general principles of art

C. they are created by the world’s greatest artists

D. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature

35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

A. Are Artistic Values Universal?   B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?

C. Is Human Nature Uniform?    D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?

                                This Way to Dreamland

Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy._36__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.

But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __37__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?

So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?

First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__38_ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.

It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concerntrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__39__

Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____40_

Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.

B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.

C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.

D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.

F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.

G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re  in the daydream zone.

Dear Smith，

I’m Li Hua，a student in China．Knowing that you are eager to learn something more about

Mobile Payment in China，I deeply welcome the opportunity to give you a brief introduction about

it．

As you know，Mobile Payment has been a tendency in China．On the one hand，its convenience

as well as efficiency makes it possible for us to take with us only a mobile phone rather than much

cash，which saves us much time and trouble．On the other hand，Mobile Payment is widely used in our daily life，like paying bills，booking tickets and so on．In a word，Mobile Payment is used in nearly everything and has really changed our life．

I will greatly appreciate it if my introduction can make you have a clear idea of Mobile

Payment．

Kind regards.

Yours sincerely，

Li Hua
