大学英语A7

一、阅读理解

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！

Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.

There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!

But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute failed to open, and he was killed.

In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too.

C.The job is risky.

Regular child care provided outside home or by someone other than the mother does not in itself undermine healthy emotional connections between mothers and their 15-month-old infants, according to a long-term national study. The finding holds even if care begins during the first 3 months after birth and runs for 30 hours or more per week.

Among infants who receive unkind and unresponsive care from their mothers, however, the mother-child relationship may be damaged. "This research helps us put apart complexities regarding child care that have not previously been studied in detail," contends Jay Belsky, a psychologist.

The investigation consists of 1,153 children and their families living in or near Boston. The youngsters, no more than 1 month old when they entered the study in 1991, will be tracked until the age of 7. Experimenters administered questionnaires to mothers in their homes and videotaped baby caretakers interacting with the kids at ages 1, 6 and 15 months. Independent observers rated the quality of each child care efforts and noted infant nervousness. Unlike most previous studies, this one allows researchers to observe each caretaker's personality at child nursing, and kids' emotional reactions by the equipment.

6.From the first paragraph we know that ______.

A.mother care is the best according to a national study

B.child care outside home is the best in accordance with the study

C.regular child care outside home does not in itself do harm to mother-child relationship

D.connections between mothers and infants are damaged by outside care

7.According to the passage, unresponsive care from a mother may ______.

A.ruin a kid's growth

B.harm the mother-child tie

C.hurt a baby's emotional reaction

D.spoil a child's personality

8.Jay Belsky implies that the study of child care ______.

A.was never carried out in the past

B.was not done much in detail in the past

C.was greatly ignored by psychologists and researchers

D.was interesting but very difficult to make discovery

9.The main difference between the investigation and the previous ones is that ______.

A.the researchers started with only one month old infants

B.the observers could rate the quality of child care efforts and analyzed them soon

C.the researchers were able to give the questionnaires to mothers in their homes

D.video equipment enabled researchers to observe what was happening directly

10.Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the investigation?

A.It will last at least 7 years.

B.Cooperation from the mothers is also necessary.

C.Some independent observers play a part.

D.Researchers paid site visits to see a caretaker's personality and kids' emotional reactions.
