His parents always had him do lots of housework such as taking out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life. This is the finding of a 40-year study following the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who worked hard in childhood had a richer and happier future. “Children who worked at home in childhood got more abilities and came to feel they were important members of the society,” said Daniel Brown, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the study. “And because they felt good about themselves, and others felt good about them.” Brown’s study followed these children in great detail. They made the study about the children at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. The children got more points for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. Working hard at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and ability—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional (情感的) health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The most competent (合格的) adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live great in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.” 38. What do we know about Justin Tong? A. He enjoyed a happy life. B. He felt sorry for the other kids. C. He always sold newspapers. D. He hardly took out the rubbish. 39. Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2? A. Children who enjoy happier and richer lives. B. Children who work at home in childhood. C. Children who take part in Daniel Brown’s study. D. Children who feel good about people around them. 40. What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Responsibility and independence B. Confidence and ability C. Childhood activities D. Part-time jobs 41. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③/④ B. ①/②/③④ C. ①②③/④ D. ①/②③④ 42. What is the passage mainly about? A. Working is helpful for children’s growth. B. Every child should help work at home. C. A child should do more and more work. D. Working can help solve many problems. C 阅读理解 Schools in China are studying how they can put VR (= virtual reality 虚拟现实) lessons into their classroom experience. One such lesson uses VR to teach children fire safety. Instead of pens and paper,students wear VR headsets in the classroom. They are put into a virtual environment where a fire has broken out. They must find their way out and escape carefully. At the VR medical school under Sichuan University, a virtual system allows medical students to examine the human body in different ways. They can even separate organs for closer examination. Students can practice their operation skills without a real body. Simon Leung, vice-chairman of a VR company, said the company has developed VR classrooms and computers that send students to a 360-degree digital world. Moreover, the VR headsets can tell whether children focus on the task at hand, Leung said. Chinese parents, however, have a different opinion on VR lessons. They are suspicious of VR because they are unsure if the technology will have any bad effects. They are worried about their children’s eyesight, too. Besides, VR equipment comes at a price. A top VR headset and computer could cost up to 10,000 yuan. “We need to do more to lower the cost and improve the user’s experience, ” said Huang Ronghuai, professor at the Smart Learning Institute under Beijing Normal University. “But we are sure that we will change the model of education in the future.” 43. In VR lessons, students need to use ________. A. pens and paper B. VR headsets C. a computer D. a real knife 44. The VR medical school allows students to ________. A. learn fire safety quickly B. play games in a virtual environment C. study harder than before D. practice skills without a real body 45. What’s Chinese parents’ attitude towards VR lessons? A. Surprised. B. Neutral(中立的). C. Doubtful. D. Agreeable. 46. We can learn from the last paragraph that ________. A. the VR equipment is too expensive B. the VR education system is perfect now C. VR has already changed the model of education D. VR will make students study at home in the future 47. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To tell people how to build VR schools. B. To teach people how to use VR headsets. C. To encourage more and more people to buy VR headsets. D. To show the development of VR technology in education.
