Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten, according to a 20-year study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health.
Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation(相关性)between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later.
In 1991, teachers assessed how the kindergartners interacted(互动) with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting(激励), if they're helpful to others, whether they're good at understanding feelings, and if they can solve problems on their own.
Researchers then kept track of whether the students went on to graduate high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full-time job by 25. They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse, public assistance, and mental health issues.
The results showed that socially competent(有能力的)children were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25 than those with limited social skills. Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge(放纵)drinking, and applying for public housing.
“This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future," said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release.
“From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted." The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention(干预)at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills. “This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on," he said. “But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life."
1.What has the 20-year study found?
A. Most kindergartners can solve problems alone.
B. Helpful children understand other's feeling better.
C. Outgoing children cooperate with their peers easily.
D. Social skills play a key role in children's development.
2.Paragraph 3 and 4 are mainly about?
A. when the researchers began their study
B. how long it took to complete the study
C. how the researchers conducted the study
D. what factors were studied by the experts
3.What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?
A. Teach them how to cooperate with others.
B.Teach them some basic living skills.
C.Tell them to keep off alcohol
D. Coach them in their lessons.
4.The text makes very good sense to ____________.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
One month ago, my daughter started kindergarten. As usual, I wished her success. I was telling a lie. What I actually wish for her is __________. I believe in the power of failure.
Success is __________ in a sense. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can __________ be a problematic victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, ________, is expected; it is the natural order of things.
Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase __________ a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”. If you have spent enough time in the __________ to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about __________. I once had a late dinner with a group of chefs, and they spent time ________ knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信度) their __________ gave them.
I earn my __________ by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am __________ that one column is going to be the worst column of the week. I don’t just set out to write it; I try my best every day. __________, every week, one column is inferior (较差的) to the others, sometimes extremely so.
I have learned to __________ that column. A successful column usually means that I am treading (踏) on __________ ground, going with tricks that work, or dressing up popular ideas in fancy words. Often in my inferior columns, I am trying to __________ something I’ve never done before, something that I’m not even sure can be done.
My daughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to __________ her. But I will also, I hope, __________ her of what she learned, and how she can do __________ next time. I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a(n) __________ you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world.

Monitoring the mood of a pet dog could be used as an early warning sign that an elderly owner is struggling to cope, a new report has claimed.
Researchers placed movement sensors (探测器) on dogs to track their behaviour and identified 17 distinct activities, including chewing, barking, sitting and digging.
This allowed them to map the normal behaviour of a healthy, happy dog, which means any changes can be monitored and could indicate an issue with their owner.
Nils Hammerla, part of the team from Newcastle University, said, “Humans and dogs have lived together in close relationships for thousands of years, which has led to strong emotional and social mutual bonds.”
“A dog’s physical and emotional dependence on their owner means that their well-being is likely to reflect that of their owner. Any changes such as the dog being walked less often, perhaps not being fed regularly, or simply demonstrating “unhappy” behaviour could be an early indicator for families that an older relative needs help. This is the first system of its kind which allows us to remotely monitor a dog’s behaviour in its natural setting.”
The team of academics, who presented their findings at the 2013 UbiComp conference in Zurich, created a hi-tech, waterproof (防水的) dog collar for the study.
Dr Cas Ladha, who led the study, said: “A lot of our research is focused on developing intelligent systems that can help older people to live independently for longer. But developing a system that reassures family and carers that an older relative is well without intruding on (侵犯) the individual’s privacy is difficult. This is just the first step but the idea behind this research is that it would allow us to support people without the need for cameras.”
A range of dogs was used for the study, as the team needed to map distinct behaviours that correlated between different breeds.
1.From the text, we know that Nils Hammerla ____________.
A. led the study and identified 17 activities of dogs
B. thinks some activities of dogs can reflect senior owners’ health
C. studied the relationship between humans and animals
D. developed a hi-tech, waterproof dog collar
2.The underlined word “reassure” in Paragraph 7 probably means ____________.
A. protect B. comfort
C. warn D. recognize
3.Which of the following is an advantage of the intelligent system mentioned in the text?
A. It can indicate that people aren’t well.
B. It can identify different activities of dogs.
C. It monitors an elderly owner without disturbing his privacy.
D. It lets people see the dog’s behavior clearly.
4.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Dogs’ mood can be an indicator of owners’ health
B. Strong bonds between dogs and their senior owners
C. Signs that your older relative needs help
D. A special way of taking care of the old

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
When trying to make a successful career, which is better: being a generalist or a specialist? Inother words, should you generalize and know a little about a lot of things?1..
Natasha Olinger, a human resource expert, talks about the benefits of both. She said Generally speaking, the common wisdom is that it's always better to specialize and then you can demand a higher salary.
To explain her idea, linger uses a fairly commons situation-choosing a restaurant 2..
If you go to a restaurant that only serves sushi, you can expect high quality products, and you also should expect to pay more. If you go to a place that serves sushi, tacos and pizza, the quality of the sushi may not be so great, but the prices will probably be lower. 3..However, she adds that all is not perfect in the world of the specialist. If there is a drop in economy, a generalist may get more job offers.
Olinger suggests thinking about the size and type of business you would like to work for.4..
Also, companies that are just getting started often need people who are able to perform many different tasks. For example, your job description may be that of a graphic designer, but you may also have to do some writing, Larger companies can be just the opposite. They often need specialists-experts in a given field But perhaps the best solution is a mix of generalization and specialization. 5. . The top of the T would be the generalized part. The upright stem of the T would be the deeper understanding of a person's general knowledge-their expertise
A. Or should we combine these two with each other?
B. Some career planners call this a "t-shaped" career
C. Say you want to eat a favorite Japanese meal: sushi.
D Olinger says the world of work is not all that different
E. Small businesses often need people who can do many things
F. Olinger also warns that the world of work is more complex than this
G Or should you specialize and have a deep understanding of only one area
