　　While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment,

　　it doesn' t teach children to be-have how parents want them to, according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University, US．What parents need is to pse their children for good behavior．If parents really need to punish their kids, they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding hem that good behavior will get them back． After all, "we want to teach kids, not hurt them," said Kazdin．

　　We have many different was of coping with the cold．We can put on more clothes, stay next to a fireplace, turn on the air conditioner or simply travel to a warmer city to spend the winter．But things are not as easy for plantsnlike humans, plants can’t move to escape the cold or generate heat to keep themselves warm．So how do they manageurvive the freezing winter?

　　The cold is a big challenge for plants．Teir living tissues can be damaged when they freeze．t's like a plant's equivalent(相等物）frostbite（冻疮）．Also，the pcess of freezing and thawing（解冻）can causer bubbles to form in the plant's water transport system．f enough of these air bubbles come together as water thaws they can block the flow of water from the roots to the leaves and kill the plant．

　　To live through cold weather，plants have develop three strategies，Se plants，ch as oak trees, avoid freezing damage by dropping their leaves, before the winter chill sets in-effectively shutting off the flow of water between roots and leaves—and growing new leaves and water transport cells when the warm spring returns. Other plants, pine trees for example, protect them-selves by narrowing their water transport cells, which makes it easier for cells to travel among air bubbles．The third stratef;yi8 also the most extreme．Some plant; die on the ground in winter and start growing as new plants from seeds when conditions get warmer．

　　Howeer, these smart strategies were developed nmry8lowly－over millions of years of evolution．This eads scientists to worry that plants may not be able to deal with human-caused climate change, which has only started occurring over the past few decades．Scientists are hoping o find possible ways to save plants from the threat of climate change．

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　“Experience may possibly be the best teacher,but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words,but they actually come from James March,a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years March(possibly the wisest philosopher of management)has studied how humans think and act,and he continues to do so in his new bookThe Ambiguities of Experience.

　　He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning:“Experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.

　　In one interesting part of the book,for example,he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting,he argues,we lose part of the complicated truth of things. He says “The more accurately(精确地)reality is presented,the less understandable the story,and the more understandable the story,the less realistic it is.”

　　Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher,March is also a poet,and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short,it is demanding:Don’t pick it up looking for quick,easy lessons. Rather,be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.

　　1. According to the text,James March is　.　

　　A. a poet who uses experience in his writing

　　B. a teacher who teaches story writing in university

　　C. a researcher who studies the way humans think and act

　　D. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions

　　2. According to James March,experience　.　

　　A. is overvalued

　　B. is easy to explain

　　C. should be actively soughtD. should be highly respected

　　3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

　　A. Experience makes stories more accurate.

　　B. Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.

　　C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.

　　D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.

　　4. What’s the purpose of this text?

　　A. To introduce a book.

　　B. To describe a researcher.

　　C. To explain experiential learning.

　　D. To discuss organizational decision making.

　　The multi-million pound new Library of Birmingham (LoB) will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization (数字化) of everyday life.

　　Set to open in 2016, the ￡188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will share some equipment.

　　As digital media (媒介) is important toits idea, the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.

　　Brian Gambles, the LoB project director, says it is about giving people the right tools for learning:“The aim is to mix the physical with the digital, providing 24-hour services which can be used through many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”

　　The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.

　　Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual (虚拟的) LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.

　　Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are also working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development. And The People’s Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.

　　Gambles says:　“Technology will enable us to make the library’s content and services open to citizens as never before.”

　　1. The underlined part “its idea” in Paragraph 3 refers to the idea of　.

　　C. the digital media　D. the physical library
