Li Denghai, with his muddy boots and tanned(晒黑的) face, may not look like he is one of China’s famous agricultural pioneers. But the 61-year-old man from Shandong Province has made scientific breakthroughs(突破), which made great contributions to China’s food security(安全). His main work has been in achieving the higher output of corn production.

Li, who holds the world record for the highest output of summer corn, once says, “Corn has a life; it sings and dances. If you listen clearly, it can speak to you.” He started his research in 1969 when he was 20 and just dropped out of a high school. He then read an article which pointed that corn output per mu in the USA was six times higher than that in China. He was shocked and set out to work on just a small piece of land round the clock to see if he could increase the output. He often went to the field with a flashlight late at night, if he had been away during the day. By careful nurturing (照料) he managed to double the output.

Li Denghai was awarded the “China Award for Significant Contribution to the Maize (玉米) Industry” in 2005, and the same year the company named after his own name came into the market on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Li, however, is never happier than when he is in the middle of his cornfields. “I can forget my tiredness when talking to my corns,” he says.

1.When Li Denghai began the study of corn, ________.

A．he just graduated from an ordinary high school

B．he was shocked that the corn output in China was so low

C．he was only in his thirties

D．he wasn’t really fond of his work

2.The underlined phrase “round the clock” means________.

A．day and night      B．sooner or later     C．face to face        D．now and then

3.From Mr. Li’s words in this passage, we can learn that________.

A．he is not good at communicating with people

B．he is too tired to go to the corn fields

C．he talks to his corn when feeling lonely

D．he loves his career deeply

“I will do both those things,” he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.

Jeremy was born with a twisted body, and terminal illness slowly killing him throughout his young life. Still, his parents had tried to give him as normal a life as possible and had sent him to St. Theresa's Elementary School.

Children pushed in buggies which face away from their parents may suffer long­term emotional（情感的）and language problems，according to a study published on Friday.

The research，believed to be the first of its kind，found that children who were not facing the person pushing them were less likely to talk，laugh and communicate with their parents.

The findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies were wheeled in buggies for a mile，facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other half. Parents using face­to­face buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies’ heart rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep，showing that they were feeling relaxed and safe.

In addition，only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an away­facing buggy.

“Our data(数据) suggests that for many babies today，life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and possibly stressful. Stressed babies grow into anxious adults，” said Dr Suzanne Zeedyk，Developmental Psychologist at Scotland’s Dundee University who carried out the research.

The study，which was published by National Literacy Trust as part of its “Talk To Your Baby” campaign，found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in away­facing buggies.

Zeedyk said it would have a negative effect on babies’ development if they spent a long time in away­facing buggies，which would be bad to their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain was developing rapidly.

Laura Barbour of the Sutton Trust，a social mobility charity which funded the research，said buggy manufacturers(制造商) should look closely at the findings.

1.Using away­facing buggies may________.

A．benefit both the babies and their parents

B．affect babies’ language ability permanently

C．help babies communicate with their parents

D．have positive effect on babies’ development

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Parents may talk twice with the babies in away­facing buggies.

B．The study suggests children feel relaxed and safe in buggies.

C．The samples (案例)of the study were 20 babies wheeled in buggies.

D．One of the 20 babies was twice as likely to fall asleep in buggies.

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．Best for Kids to Face Parents in Buggy

B．Best for Kids to Communicate with Parents

C．Stressed Babies Grow into Anxious Adults

D．Buggy Manufacturers Care about the Finding
