In today's competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their children the bestpossible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten monthsold, to become familiar with computers They seem to think that if their children grow up withcomputers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future No one has proved thatcomputers make children more creative or more intelligent The truth may even be the opposite

Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young,may negatively affect normal brain development Children gain valuable experience of the worldfrom their interaction with physical objects Ten month-old babies may benefit more from bumpingtheir heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye- catchingcartoons A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect

better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen So, aseducational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computerclasses, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs

It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an

A.collaboration B.disorganization C.unskillfulness D.classification

Question 40:The author implies that children learn better

A. after they have developed hand-eye coordination

B. when they hold and feel things around them

C. as they get older

D. when they use a computer

Question 41:The word “ludicrous” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to

Question 42:Why do parents want their children to learn how to use a computer from an early age?

A. Because they are afraid their children will become competitive

B. Because they want their children to be well prepared for their future

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its

desiccating effects No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found.The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country isopen, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population islargely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated Having

The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if,like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes

So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground,

emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but

18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees

Question 43:The title for this passage could be
