 Teach Your Child Science
1. It is important to make your child interested in science from an early age. Most young children ask a lot of questions and you should give careful scientific answers.Don't only give facts but try to give explanations as well.
2. Science is not just knowledge ; it is a way of thinking, a method of finding out about the world. We see something.We try to explain it, and we test our idea by setting up all experiments. One day you come home and find the plant on the table has fallen over. You think it might be the wind from the open window or the cat. So you close the window, but leave the cat in and see what happens ( you can also try leaving the window open and shunning the cat out ) . Of course, you remember there may be a third explanation.
3. Ask your child to get a piece of string, some salt, a glass of water and an ice Cube ( 冰块 ) . Tell her to put the ice in the water, and then put one end of the string on the ice, leaving the other end over the side of the glass. Put a lime salt on the ice, wait a minute, and then pull the string, it should be attached to the ice. Ask the child : "what has happened?"
4. Probably she won't know. Ask her whether fresh water or salt water freezes into ice first. If you live near the sea and have a cold winter, she should know fresh water freezes first as she will have seen that happen. Show her how to test the idea by half-filling two paper cups with water. Then put them in the icebox and check
every three minutes. Write the results in a table. The conclusion will be that salt changes the behavior of water,thinking about the string, we see the salt turned some of the ice into water. Then the salt went away into the water and the ice froze again leaving the string attached.
5. Then you can ask, "Will water with salt boil at the same temperature as water without salt?" She can think, tell you her idea and ( taking care the heat ) you can test it in the kitchen.

 Obesity (肥胖) Causes Global Warming
 The list of ills attributable to obesity keeps growing: Last week, obese people were accused of causing global warming.
 This51comes from Sheldon Jacobson of the University of Illinois, US, and a doctoral student, Laura McLay. Their study 52how much extra gasoline is needed to haul fat Americans around. The answer, they say, is a billion gallons of gas per year.53
 There has been54for taxes on junk food in recent years. US economist Martin Schmidt suggests a tax on fast food55to people's cars. "We tax cigarettes partly because of their health cost,”Schmidt said.
"Similarly, leading a lazy life style will end up costing taxpayers more."
 US political scientist Eric Oliver said his first instinct was to laugh at these gas and fast food arguments.But such56are getting attention.
 At the US Obesity Society’s annual meeting, one person57obesity with car accident deaths,and another correlated obesity with suicides. No one asked whether there was really a cause-and-effect relationship. "The funny thing was that everyone took it59”Oliver said.
 In a 1960s study, children were60drawings of children with disabilities and without them, and a drawing of an obese child. They were asked61they would want for a friend? The obese child was picked last.
 Three researchers recently repeated the study 62college students. Once again,63no one, not even obese people, liked the obese person. "Obesity was stigmatized." the researchers said.
 But, researchers say, getting64is not like quitting smoking. People struggle to stop smoking, and, in the end, many succeed. Obesity is different. Science has shown that they have limited personal control over their weight Genes also65a part.

 Approaches to Understanding Intelligences
 It pays to be smart, but we are not all smart in the same way. You may be a talented musician, but you might not be a good reader. Each of us is different.
 Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or personal abilities. Psychologists have two different views on intelligence. Some believe there is one general intelligence. Others believe there are many different intelligences.
 Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measured with IQ tests. These psychologists support their view with research that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests. They do well on tests using words, numbers or pictures. They do well on individual or group tests, and written or oral tests. Those who do poorly on one test, do the same on all tests.
 Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence. The brain of intelligence people use less energy during problem solving. The brain waves of people with higher intelligence show a quicker reaction. Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from differences in the speed
and effectiveness of information processing by the brain.
 Howard Gardner, a psychologist at the Harvard School of Education, has four children. He believes that all children are different and shouldn't be tested by one intelligence test. Although Gardner believes general intelligence exists, he doesn't think it tells much about the talents of a person outside of formal schooling.
He think that the human mind has different intelligences. These intelligences allow us to solve the kinds of problems we are presented with in life. Each of us has different abilities within these intelligences. Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences.
 Gardner says that his theory is based on biology. For example, when one part of the Brain is injured, other parts of the brain still work. People who cannot talk because of Brain damage can still sing. So, there is not just one intelligence to lose. Gardner has identified 8 different kinds of intelligence; linguistic, mathematical,spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, body-kinesthetic(身体动觉的), and naturalistic.
What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The importance of intelligence.
B.The development of intelligence tests.
C.How to understand intelligence.
D.How to become intelligent.
