Indeed, a growing _1_ of research shows that, especially in the early years of life when the brain is still taking _2_, parental attention- even such a simple activity as playing peekaboo（藏猫猫）- helps construct the _3_ brain circuitry essential to intellectual development.“Parents needs to recognize how _4_ their input is,” says Craig Ramey, professor of psychology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Ramey has spent 30 years studying how early stimulation by _5_ develops childhood intelligence. “We can see positive results in very young children.”The most convincing _6_ for the importance of adult influence on a childs intelligence comes from a study of “at risk” children. Ramey and Frances Campbell of the University of North Carolina worked with children born into poverty-line households. The children _7_ the study by four months of age. During the study, one group spent the day in a center _8_ teachers used games and songs to stimulate the infants. Another group had no such _9_, but they were given nutritional supplements in infancy.During preschool years the children in the early-education group showed I.Q. advantages if 10 to 20 points. The highest-risk children showed the greatest gains, and at age 15 they had higher reading and math _10_.What account for these gains? Ramey and other scientists say early childhood experiences foster brain growth. The first two years of life are an explosion of brain growth and connections. By age two the brain has more than 300 trillion connections. At the same time, cells that arent being connected or used are being discarded.Part II ClozeDid you ever have someones name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were unable to recall it? _1_ this happens again, do not _2_ to recall it. Do something _3_ for a couple of minutes _4_ the name may come into your head. The name is there since you have met _5_ person and learned his name. It _6_ has to be dug out. The initial effort to recall _7_ the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious（下意识的）_8_ that go to work to dig up a _9_ memory. Forcing yourself to recall _10_never helps because it doesnt _11_ your memory; it only tightens it. Students find the preparatory method helpful _12_ examinations. They read over the questions _13_ trying to answer any of them. _14_ they answer first the ones _15_ which they are most confident. Meanwhile, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking _16_ ; work is being done on the _17_ difficult question. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers _18_ the more difficult ones will usually begin to _19_ into consciousness. It is often _20_ a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.1. A. As B. WhenC. WhileD. Whether2. A. try B. wantC. hesitateD. wait3. A. simpleB. apartC. elseD. similar4.
