一、阅读理解(1-20，每题有4个备选项，只有1个符合题意。)

A youngster′s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress. Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out(退学). In the early grades especially,experts say,youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. "When children work on a project" , says Lillian Kate,an educational professor at the University of Illinois,"they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions. These skills can′t be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don′t have any social skills. Relationships should be the first ".

At a certain age,children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world. Just as the.l-year-old struggling to walk the 6-year-old is struggling to meet adult expectations. If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task. "The effects of obvious methods of comparison such as posting grades can be serious ", says Hills,"a child who has had his confi-dence really damaged needs a rescue operation".

Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the rea-son could be that men′s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.

The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women′s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.

"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study,of Liverpool John Moore University in the UK.

"Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70,one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Gold Spink. "This is part of the ageing process."

What surprises scientist is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman′s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one′s.

"This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Gold Spink.

They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80,focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.

The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Gold Spink.

The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise.Gold Spink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
