22、Putting cash in the hands of mothers can help shape the brains of their babies, according to a study in the United States.

Family income has been linked to child development numerous times in the past in observational studies, but this is the first time researchers have found direct experimental evidence of how poverty drives such changes.

The findings come from an ongoing study known as Baby’s First Year, which is attempting to assess how poverty reduction can impact the cognitive and emotional growth of very young children. “We have known for many years that growing up in poverty puts children at risk for lower school achievement, reduced earnings, and poorer health,” explains neuroscientist Kimberly Noble from Columbia University. “However, until now, we haven’t been able to say whether poverty itself causes differences in child development, or whether growing up in poverty is simply associated with other factors that cause those differences.”

A thousand low-income mothers in the US were recruited (招募) for the study shortly after their babies were born. These parents, who came from either New York City, New Orleans, Omaha or Minneapolis/St. Paul, were then randomly offered either $333 a month in unconditional cash payments or $20 a month in unconditional cash payments for the first four years of their baby's life—no strings attached.

The data show that giving low-income mothers financial support can directly change infant brain activity in the first year of life. Infants (婴儿) whose mothers had received the higher cash payments, for instance, had higher frequency brain activity than those infants whose mothers had received less.

Further research is needed to see whether these changes in brain activity last or whether they translate to improved cognitive development, but there’s good reason to suspect they might.

【1】How is the current study different from previous ones?

A．It didn’t get expectant result.

B．Its result is obtained by observing.

C．There is no evidence to support it.

D．Its result is based on direct experiment.

【2】What’s the purpose of the current study?

A．To find other factors that impact young children.

B．To find if poverty has negative effects on child development.

C．To prove if relieving poverty contributes to child brain development.

D．To prove family income has nothing to do with child development.

【3】What can you infer from paragraph 4?

A．The cash was offered without conscious decision.

B．The study gave away money to low-income mothers.

C．Thousands of low-income mothers were involved in the study.

D．Low-income mothers received cash payments for four years.

【4】What is the passage probably going to talk about next?

A．Why further research is needed.

B．Studies contrary to the current findings.

C．Whether these changes in brain activity last.

D．Other similar studies that support the current findings.

23、   Imagine you are 10 years old. You live in a big city and want to visit your best friend, a five-minute walk away, and then you can go to the park, another 10 minutes’ walk. The problem is that there’s a big dangerous road between you and your friend, and another between your friend’s home and the park. When you ask your parents if you can walk there, they say no. But they are too busy to take you there themselves. Perhaps you have a video conversation with your friend instead, or perhaps you play a video game on the sofa. You’ve lost out on time outside and, of course, play time with your friend. This is the reality for many kids today-but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Tim Gill, the author of No Fear: Growing up in a Risk Averse Society, says a child-friendly city is one that allows “everyday freedom”, so a child can spread their wings as they grow. “It’s not enough to just talk about playgrounds and nice, pretty public spaces. That just creates play places that children have to be taken to by adults,” says Gill.

Society’s mistake, argues Gill, is that our planning systems just focus on cars, house-building and the economy rather than the environment, health and quality of life. “You won’t find any urban planners who can disagree with that. It’s because our decision-makers fail to look beyond the next two or three years.”

Designing cities with children in mind-particularly outdoor spaces that encourage safe movement and social interaction-stands to be an issue of growing concern globally. By 2050 around 70% of people will live in cities, and the majority of them will be under 18. Today, over a billion children are growing up in cities.

【1】What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?

A.Dangerous roads. B.Parents’ improper behaviors.

C.Addition to video games. D.Lack of outdoor activities for kids.

【2】What may the urban planners agree according to Gill?

A.Children lack public spaces. B.People live a life of low quality.

C.Their city planning is inappropriate. D.They are limited by their imagination.

【3】Why does the author mention the data in the last paragraph?

A.To stress the necessity of building more cities.

B.To show the urgency of considering kids in urban planning.

C.To illustrate the changes of urban population.

D.To promote children’s awareness of self-protection.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The appeal for a child-friendly city. B.Challenges facing urban children.

C.Difficulties in city planning. D.Problems in modern cities.
