Scientists have found a new use for children’s imaginations(想象力)—to make Stomachaches go away. The BBC reports a new study that shows: “Children can be taught to use their Imaginations to deal with stomachaches.” This may be very good news for parents who need a quick cure for their sick children.
Any mother or father understands the stomach problem is one of the most frequent(时常发生的) things their children complain about. Around twenty percent of children suffer from stomachaches that doctors cannot find a reason for.
This new research is especially good for kids with active imaginations. Researchers found that the more creative the child is, the better he or she is at imagining the pain away.
The researchers used a relaxing CD with children. A voice guided them through different fantasy(幻想) situations. One of these was pretending to be floating on a cloud. Thirty children took part in the tests. Half of them used the “guided imagery” method, and the other half received normal medicines. Researchers found 73.3 percent of the CD users reported a reduction in pain. This compared to only 26.7 percent of kids who got normal treatment.
Study leader Dr Miranda Tilburg was very excited about her findings. She believed that it was a very cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches. She said it would not work as well with adults.
The new study may be good news for those who____________.
| A．have less imaginations |
| B．don’t know how to relax |
| C．want to stop their kids’ stomachaches in a short time |
| D．can find why children suffer from stomachaches |
What kind of kids will benefit(从…收益) most from the new research?
| A．Kids who like listening to music. |
| B．Kids who are good at remembering things. |
| C．The independent(独立的) kids. |
| D．Kids with active imaginations. |
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．Sometimes, doctors don’t know why children suffer from stomachaches. |
| B．Children complain about their learning problems most frequently. |
| C．The more creative the child is, the less likely he or she is to have a stomachache. |
| D．30 children received normal medicines in the tests. |
From the end of the passage, we know that__________.
| A．adults can also use their imaginations to make stomachaches go away |
| B．Dr Miranda Tilburg wasn’t pleased with her findings |
| C．the normal cure for stomachaches will not be used |

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee (裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is usually afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.To become a leader in a game the child has to __________.
| A．be popular among his playmates | B．wait for his turn |
| C．be confident in himself | D．play well |
What is true about children when they play games?
| A．They can stop playing any time they like. |
| B．They can test their personal abilities. |
| C．They want to pick a better team |
| D．They don’t need rules. |
Why does a child like playing games?
| A．Because he likes the place where he plays a game. |
| B．Because he can become popular among friends. |
| C．Because he finds he is always lucky in games. |
| D．Because he can be someone other than himself. |
What do we know about grown-ups?
| A．They are not interested in games. |
| B．They find children’s games too easy. |
| C．They don’t understand children’s games. |
| D．They don’t need a reason to play games. |
