Children who read for pleasure at the age of 10 have far higher vocabulary scores by the age of 42．

Researchers at the Institute of Education(IOE)have found that the most crazy childhood readers score far higher on vocabulary tests 30 years later．The new study suggests that children who read for pleasure carry the intellectual(智力的)benefits with them far into adulthood．

“The long-term influence of reading for pleasure on vocabulary that we have identified may be because the frequent childhood readers continued to read throughout their twenties and thirties，”says lead author Professor Alice Sullivan at the IOE．Researchers followed 9,400 British people from the age of 10 up to 42．Their vocabulary was tested using a simple quiz which asked participants to match up words to the most similar meaning．

Those who had regularly read for pleasure at 10 scored 67 percent in the age 42 vocabulary test，while infrequent childhood readers scored only 51 percent．

The IOE study also found that what people chose to read as adults mattered as much as how often they read．The greatest improvements between ages 16 and 42 were made by readers of‘elegant’fictions such as Booker Prize winning novels．And they found that readers of quality newspapers，including online versions，made more progress in vocabulary throughout their lives than those who read tabloids．

In addition，generally speaking，the adult readers who especially read broadsheets(宽幅 印刷品)scored 76 percent on the assessment compared to 57 percent amongst those who didn’t．

31．Why did frequent childhood readers have higher vocabulary scores?

A．Because they are born intelligent．

B．Because they formed the consistent reading habit．

C．Because they were crazy about pleasure．

D．Because they had a comfortable childhood．

32．What may not affect the adult readers’vocabulary scores?

A．The contents of reading． B．The designs of the page．

C．Versions online or not． D．The frequency of reading．

33．What does the underlined word“tabloids”mean in the text?

A．Newspapers of low quality． B．Newspapers of high quality．

C．Elegant fictions． D．Large vocabulary．

34．What does the text mainly tell us?

A．Intelligence has a great influence on vocabulary．

B．Reading materials matter much for children．

C．Broadsheet newspapers are best for boosting vocabulary．

D．Children who read for pleasure have larger vocabulary as adults．

B

Recently I have discovered it’s often easier for me to do something every day than to do it just some days. I post to my blog six days a week. I take notes every day. I write in my one-sentence journal every day. Many people have told me that they find it easier to exercise when they exercise every day. If I try to do something just four days a week, I spend a lot of time arguing with myself: Is today the day, or is it tomorrow, or the next day? Does the week start on Sunday or Monday?

If you do something every day, you tend to fall into a routine. Routine has a bad reputation for lacking excitement. It’s true that novelty and challenge bring happiness and that people who break their routines, try new things, and go to new places are happier, but I think that some routine activities also bring happiness. The pleasure of doing the same thing, in the same way, every day, shouldn’t be overlooked. By repeating, you can find happiness in activities like doing dishes or sweeping the floor as well as in your beloved morning coffee-and-news routines.

Two geniuses whom I know of also wrote about the power of doing something every day. Andy Warhol wrote, “Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more. ” Gertrude Stein made a similar point, “Anything one does every day is important and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.”

So if there’s something that you wish you did more regularly, try doing it every day; if you do something every day, take great pleasure in it.

35. In the first paragraph, what does the author try to tell us?

A. It’s easier to do the same thing every day.

B. It’s important to do the same thing every day.

C. He has a good habit of following routines.

D. He enjoys the habit of following routines.

36. People usually tend to break their routines because they________.

A. hope to have a better reputation

B. would like to get rid of the old habit

C. want to have fun and excitement

D. are willing to face new challenges

37. Which of the following statements does Andy Warhol probably agree to?

A. Doing something that is exciting.

B. Doing something almost every day.

C. Doing something every day, not only once.

D. Doing something every day or only once.

38. The writer develops the passage mainly in the following ways EXCEPT ________.

A. giving examples

B. offering instructions

C. giving explanations

D. using quotations (引用)

39. Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. A Way To Form A Habit
