When Grandpa heard me, he said in surprise, "I didn't knw yu liked baseball, Susan." I explained that it was my favrite sprt and I usually played it all summer with my friends. Grandpa std up shakily and walked t the dr. "Let's g, " he said, with excitement. "I want t shw yu smething. "
We drve fr quite a while, and when Grandpa finally stpped the car, we were in frnt f sme ld huses. A sign n each huse said "Land Will Be Sld. Call Fr Details."

Self-cntrl is a skill that children need t succeed in schl, scially and emtinally. The develpment f self-cntrl begins at birth and cntinues thrughut ur lives. As babies, we have little r n cntrl ver ur behavirs and emtins, but as we get lder, with the help f parents r caregivers, we learn hw t take turns, hw t pay attentin in class, stick t a challenging task, and restrain （制止）frm hitting anther child. These abilities cntinue t develp in ur childhd and then yuthhd. Als, it is clear that being impulsive （易冲动的）can have bad effects n children, causing interpersnal prblems, pr physical health, and psychiatric disrders.
Therefre, by learning self-cntrl, children can make right decisins and respnd t situatins in psitive ways. One f the effective strategies, when helping children develp self-cntrl abilities, is t select develpmentally prper tasks. Try setting up simple gals first, where success is expected, befre mving nt the next gal. Fr preschlers, gals might include nt interrupting r nt fighting n the playgrund. Fr early elementary schl students, right gals might be fllwing bedtime rules.
Hwever, it's nt enugh t set up simple gals, because fr children f the same age, there are still sme differences in the develpment f self-cntrl abilities. Sme general strategies ften help them learn right self-cntrl behavirs.
•Take a break
Encurage children t take a break r "time in” whenever they feel dwn, annyed r angry. Stepping away frm an upsetting situatin can help a child calm dwn.
•Teach and prvide attentin
Paying attentin is a skill that can be taught. Encurage children t resist interrupting by learning t bserve thers withut talking, s they can jin in easily. Make sure t prvide children with attentin at times s they dn't feel ignred and therefre are unlikely t interrupt.
•Use prper rewards （奖励）
In rder t develp psitive behavirs, children need frequently psitive feedback. Praise and cnsistent feedback can be highly rewarding fr yung children. It is imprtant t let a child knw what a desired behavir is.
•Use activities designed t teach self-regulatin （自我管理）
Using specific activities can help teach yung children skills that imprve self-cntrl. Sme f these skills include dealing with "wanting smething I can't have", understanding feelings, and cntrlling anger.
25. What can we learn frm Paragraph 1 ?
A. As peple get lder, their attentin will imprve naturally.
B. Being impulsive can ften cause bad results in children's grades.
C. Children can learn hw t cntrl themselves with the help f parents.
D. Self-cntrl develpment begins at birth and keeps grwing till yuthhd.
26. What can teachers d when students feel very disappinted?
A. Teach and prvide attentin. B. Give rewards and suggestins.
C. Teach skills t regulate themselves. D. Encurage them t take a break.

Technlgy Prgress
On June 22, 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew int Daytn, Ohi, fr dinner at Orville Wright’s huse. It had been just a mnth since the yung pilt5s first ever individual nnstp crssing f the Atlantic, and he felt he ught t pay respects t the pineer f flight.
Frty-tw years later, n July 16, 1969, Apll 11 astrnaut Neil Armstrng was allwed t bring a persnal guest t the Kennedy Space Center t view the launch f NASA's twering Saturn V rcket. Armstrng invited his her, Charles Lindbergh. That's hw fast technlgy advanced in the 20th century.
Hwever, prgress isn't what it used t be nw. Nrthwestern University ecnmist Rbert Grdn argues that by 1970, all the key technlgies f mdern life were in place: electricity, highways, telecmmunicatins, and the like. After that, innvatin （仓U新）and ecnmic grwth simply culdn't keep ging as fast as the last 100 years—a perid Grdn calls "the special century". Grdn argues the lives f peple in develped natins lk and feel the same in 2020 as they did in 1979 r 1989.
Slwing dwn is gd in ne small way, thugh bad in mst f the ways that cunt. Rapid changes can smetimes be disrienting （令人迷惑的）.And when things develp at a lwer speed, peple and institutins d have mre time t breathe and fit in. But slwing dwn isn't what it shuld be. In many areas f technlgy, the frward mvement tday feels tragically slw, even nnexistent.
Cnsider cnsumer rbtics. There5s huge ptential fr rbts t help us. But hme rbtics cmpanies seem t keep flding. Fr example, scial rbt maker Jib clsed in March after raising almst $73 millin.
Our century’s ne signature technlgy achievement is smartphnes. At this pint, we've had them in ur pckets lng enugh t begin t appreciate their dangers. Meanwhile the list f pssibly wrld¬changing technlgies that get peple's attentin but still remain in the riginal stage is very lng. Self¬driving cars, AR glasses. Need I cntinue?
Indeed, these are all hard prblems. But histrically, slving the big prblems has required cntinuus, large-scale investment（投资）, ften with private markets and taxpayers sharing the cst. In this century, we need t und sme bad results f the last great bm （繁荣）by develping affrdable zer——and negative—emissins technlgies right nw. That's anther hard prblem—and t slve it, we'll need t rethink what made the "special century", s special.
28. The writer mentins Charles Lindbergh in Paragraphs 1 and 2 t shw that __________.
A. Charles has cntributed greatly t technlgy
B. Charles paid respects t the pineer f flight
C. technlgy develped rapidly in the 20th century
D. technlgy has advanced t a higher new level
29. The underlined wrd "flding” in Paragraph 5 prbably means _____________.
A. shutting B. separatingC. grwingD. perating
30. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Sme wrld-changing technlgies are nt making prgress.
B. Hme rbtics cmpanies failed because f little investment.
C. It's time t realize the disadvantages f fast develpment nw.
D. It desn't take us lng befre we realize the dangers f smartphnes.
31. The writer prbably agrees _______________.
A. markets and taxpayers have a duty t develp technlgies
B. innvatin and investment are needed fr technlgy advance
C. what made the last century special will happen in the new century
D. rapid changes in technlgy are bad in mst f the ways that cunt

“She has a very gd engineering sense t break dwn a prblem like this and then g after it,” says engineer Casey Machad. “It sunds simple, but it’s a level f thinking that’s really amazing. ”
Du started attending public events and wrkshps at a university when she was five years ld, and s she picked up the engineering skills necessary t build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV t mve thrugh water well was nt easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.
When asked abut future plans, she mentins wanting t address the effects f climate(气候) change. “I think there are a lt f prblems that culd be slved with new inventins,” says Du.
Du thanks her parents, wh fr years have taken her t student utreach activities, fr supprting her interest in science, technlgy, engineering and math (STEM). She says she has been able t meet students and scientists there.
“I knw I want t be an engineer because I like building things t help slve wrld prblems,” says Du. “But I’m nt sure what kind f engineer I want t be yet.”
