If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a sibling’s (兄弟姐妹的) name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved you less?
Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive (认知的) error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.
The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition, found that the “wrong” name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin, “ but it does tell us who’s in and who’s out of the group.”
The study also found that within that group, misnaming occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.
The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1, 700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them — family or friend — had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.
In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misname was frustrated, tired or angry.
1.What did David Rubin’s research find about misnaming?
A.It is related to the way our memories work.
B.It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.
C.It occurs mostly between kids and their friends.
D.It often causes misunderstandings among people.
2.What is most likely the cause of misnaming?
A.Similar personality traits. B.Similar spellings of names.
C.Similar physical appearance. D.Similar pronunciation of names.
3.What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming?
A.It more often than not hurts relationships.
B.It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.
C.It is most frequently found in extended families.
D.It most often occurs within a relationship groups.
4.The passage is mainly about ______.
A.scientific research on misnaming and their findings.
B.why mother misname their kids more often than fathers.
C.a brain test to explain why misnaming functions in its way.
D.the advantages and disadvantages of misnaming children.

If you're like most kids, you've probably heard at least one parent say, "Don't forget to take your vitamin(维他命)!" or "Eat your salad — it's packed with vitamins!" But what exactly are vitamins?
Vitamins and minerals are substances that are found in foods we eat. Your body needs them to work properly, so you grow and develop just like you should. When it comes to vitamins, each one has a special role to play. For example:Vitamin D in milk and fish helps your bones. Vitamin A in orange fruits and vegetables,liver and milk helps you see at night. Vitamin C in oranges and some green vegetables helps your body heal if you get a cut. Vitamin E in nuts, seeds, whole grains and green, leafy vegetables protects your lungs from becoming damaged by polluted air. B vitamins in green leafy vegetables help your body make energy from food.
When you eat foods that contain fat-soluble(脂溶性的) vitamins, the vitamins are stored in the fat tissues in your body and in your liver. They wait around in your body fat until your body needs them.
Fat-soluble vitamins are happy to stay stored in your body for a while — some stay for a few days, some for up to 6 months! Then, when it's time for them to be used, special carriers in your body take them to where they're needed. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are all fat-soluble vitamins.
Water-soluble vitamins are different. When you eat foods that have water-soluble vitamins, the vitamins don't get stored as much in your body. Instead, they travel through your bloodstream. Whatever your body doesn't use comes out of your body. So these kinds of vitamins need to be replaced often because they don't stick around! This crowd of vitamins includes vitamin C and the big group of B vitamins — B1 , B2 , B6 , B12 and so on.
1.The first paragraph of the passage is used to ________.
A.tell us the special use of salad
B.lead to the topic of the passage
C.advise kids to take more vitamins
D.show readers the value of vitamins
2.If a man suffers from night blindness, he’d better take more ____.
A.vitamin D B.vitamin A
C.vitamin E D.vitamin C
3.What is special about fat-soluble vitamins?
A.They can stay stored in our bodies for some time.
B.They are needed in our bodies every minute.
C.They can be easily produced in our bodies.
D.They contain all kinds of vitamins.
4.After reading the passage, we learn that ____.
A.kids need a lot more vitamins than adults
B.water-soluble vitamins stay long in our bodies
C.fat-soluble vitamins need to be replaced very often
D.vitamins play a great role in the development of our bodies

How do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way.
A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organize it. This doesn’t mean that a woman has to do all the housework; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s joining. A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility for housework.
Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation(欣赏) for those things, too. Most men will take on a little housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do , and do it without being monitored(监视).
Here is the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or they simply want to please their women. Men are less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a housework task just for the good of the house.
1.The passage is mainly about how to ________.
A.get men to do some housework B.get men to serve their families
C.praise men’s housework D.get men to do all the housework
2.According to a passage, a man _______ .
A.is willing to do housework

A. work without any payment B.do unimportant housework tasks
C.do housework with women’s praises D.please their wives
5.According to the passage, which of the following would a husband most probably like to ?
