19、selves. New research says that those who cant seem to keep their inner monologues(独白) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain _26_ better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering. According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly
20、Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to _27_ mental pictures helps people function quicker. In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty _28_ and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half we
21、re _29_ to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips _30_. Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didnt,the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that _31_ the name of a mon product when on the hun
22、t for it helped quicken someones pace, but talking about unmon items showed no advantage and slowed you down. mon research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when youve _32_ matured is not a great sign of _33_. The two professors hope to refu
23、te that idea, _34_ that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to municate, but also to help “augment thinking”. Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share
24、 simple, like a grocery list. At any _35_, theres still such a thing as too much information. In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is
25、derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. Rich Children and Poor Ones Are Raised Very Differently A The lives of children from rich and poor American families look more diffe
26、rent than ever before. B Well-off families are ruled by calendars, with children enrolled in ballet, soccer and after-school programs, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. There are usually two parents, who spend a lot of time reading to children and worrying about their anxiety levels and
27、 hectic schedules. C In poor families, meanwhile, children tend to spend their time at home or with extended family. They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoods that their parents say arent great for raising children, and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up or in trouble with
28、 the law. D The class differences in child rearing are growing a symptom of widening inequality with far-reaching consequences. Different upbringings set children on different paths and can deepen socioeconomic divisions, especially because education is strongly linked to earnings. Children grow up
29、learning the skills to succeed in their socioeconomic stratum (阶层), but not necessarily others. E “Early childhood experiences can be very consequential for childrens long-term social, emotional and cognitive development,” said Sean Reardon, professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University. “And because those influ
