You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.Why do people join in these dangerous sports?

They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn subjects like reading, writing, and maths. They also continue to learn a lot outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for communicating with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to deal with many changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.Because learning continues throughout our lives and influences almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Scientists, social workers and other human service workers need to understand how certain experiences change peoples behaviors.Learning is closely related (相关的) to memory, which is the storage(储存) of information in the brain (大脑). Scientists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later offers knowledge when we need it. However, scientists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a persons experiences. （1）The underlined word “siblings” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A . teachersB . classmatesC . doctorsD . brothers or sisters（2）When do children begin to know to behave well according to the passage?A . After they go into societyB . Before they enter school.C . When they are at school.D . Before they are born.（3）Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A . As a matter of fact, learning begins at a persons birth and last the whole life.B . Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate their students.C . People need to understand how certain experiences change their behaviorsD . Social workers need to study how experiences affect peoples thoughts.四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共4分)15. （4分）任务型阅读Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness.
