25.If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A well-known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1937), concluded from other men’s work and his own among people in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!
(1).Huntington based his conclusions on ___________.
A.work with people in different climates

(2).Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _________.
A.some effect on most people’s intelligence
B.no effect on people’s intelligence

D.a great effect on everyone’s intelligence
(3).One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ___________.
A.there are some things making all nature different from before
B.it lasts longer than the other seasons
C.it is neither too warm nor too cold
D.it is more natural for the development of mental abilities
(4).The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _____________.
A.winter and summer
B.summer and spring
C.spring and fall
D.fall and winter
(5).According to the passage above, vacations from thinking should be taken ___________.

30.Regular child care provided outside the 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 reaction by the equipment.
(1).From the first paragraph we know that______.
A.regular child care outside home may play a role as a mother
B.mother care is the best according to a national study

(2).According to the passage, unresponsive care from a mother may______.
A.spoil a child’s personality
B.ruin a kid’s growth
C.injure a baby’s emotional reaction
D.harm the mother-child tie
(3).Jay Belsky implies that the study of child care______.
A.was not much done in detail in the past
B.was never carried out in the past
C.was interesting, but very difficult to make discovery
D.was greatly ignored by psychologists and researchers
(4).The main difference between the investigation and the previous ones is that______.
A.video equipment enabled researchers to observe what was happening directly
B.the researchers were able to give the questionnaires to mothers in their homes
C.the researchers started with only one month old infants
D.the observers could rate the quality of child care efforts and analyzed them soon
(5).Which of the following is not TRUE of the investigation?
A.Some independent observers play a part.
