Where brainpower is concerned, the old edict of 'use it, or lose it' holds true from the start. Babies who receive love and encouragement from their parents develop the neural connections they need to get on in life. But what happens to those who fail to get this support? Do they grow up to be less bright than their nurtured peers? It would be comforting to believe that deprived children escape long-term damage by being too young to speak, or know any different, but the evidence suggests otherwise. At a recent meeting of the Royal Society of Medicine, medics were shown slides taken with a powerful scanner ...The scans showed that the frontal-temporal areas of the brain,

Which best serves as the title for the passage?

A. Brain damages among children

B. How to intervene trauma encountered by children?

C. How does the brain work? D. Learning to live

A. Brain damages among children

- edict: quy tắc

- deprived: chịu thiệt thòi

- medics: bác sĩ

- frontal-temporal areas: vùng trán- thái dương

For years, scientists have known that animals reared in enriched environments have larger and more complex brains than animals that grow up in deprivation, so experts like Perry anticipated that the same would hold true for humans. However, it is only now, thanks to powerful scanners that allow this theory to be put to the test, that the damage is clearly visible. Perry explains the reason for the abnormality is that the brain develops in a 'use-dependent' way, growing, organizing and working according to experience. With the right stimulation, the brain makes the connections it needs. Without it, synapses, junctions between the neurons used to transport the brain's messages, literally dissolve.

The word "dissolve" in paragraph 2 mostly means ________

A. process B. tackle C. disappear D. decay

C. disappear

Dissolve (v): tan biến, biến mất = Disappear

- synapses: khớp thần kinh

Fortunately, different parts of the brain develop at different rates, so the damage may be confined to the parts that were actively organizing at the time of stress or neglect. Perry describes these times as "windows of opportunity" that exist for different brain functions. If the connections between neurons are not developed at the critical period, they may not develop at all. Synapses associated with vision are most active when a child to eight months. A baby born with cataracts, removed at the age of two, will remain blind, as the window of opportunity has passed.

According to the passage, recent evidence suggests that ________

A. babies do not respond to verbal communication.

B. babies who are orphaned will grow up to be less bright than those with parents.

C. babies' brains are not fully developed at birth.

D. babies deprived of love and care do not suffer any long term emotional damage

B. babies who are orphaned will grow up to be less bright than those with parents.

- cataracts: đục thủy tinh thể

Interaction between the child and its caretaker is vital to teach the brain to function normally. By playing with and talking to her child, the mother distracts the infant from a bombardment of competing noises. This communication trains a section of the brain to regulate emotions so the child is able to function day- to-day without being a hostage to impulses and feelings

The word "it" in paragraph 2 refers to ________

A. brain B. right stimulation C. powerful scanner D. theory

B. right stimulation

- being a hostage: bị chi phối

Yet, despite the damage caused by stress and trauma in childhood, Perry, like most clinicians, is optimistic that intervention can help, as the cortex, the grey matter responsible for high level brain function, is malleable and capable of changing. He is supported in this belief by child psychiatrist Dr Dora Black, founder of the Traumatic Stress Clinic in London, who works with severely traumatized children. She claims neurological evidence is available that shows that, although trauma can affect the speech area in the brain, this function can return if the child receives help early enough. "Unfortunately," admits Perry, "what we don't know is how much deprivation is needed to prevent the recovery of normal expression of various emotional, cognitive or social skills

The word "malleable" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________

A. strong B. stiff C. flexible D. vigorous

C. flexible

Malleable (adj):dễ uốn, dẻo = flexible

- vigorous (adj): mạnh khỏe, cường tráng

It was Andrew's teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed buying a school dog. "Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively affect children's conduct," says Brown. "We did some research and discovered that the presence of pets has been shown to be therapeutic. A number of studies have shown that animals improve recovery after surgery or illness and have a calming influence on people in a lot of settings. Some of my kids can be a handful and some of the children Julie counsels have terrible problems."

The word "therapeutic" in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ___________. A. restorative B. damaging C. analeptic D. sanative

B. damaging

Therapeutic: thuộc điều trị, trị liệu, (thuộc) phép chữa bệnh >< damaging: Hại, có hại, gây thiệt hại

. But traditionalist Chris Woodhead, the former chief inspector of schools says, "I don't see why a teacher cannot create a positive learning environment through the subject they teach and their personality.
