To help a 7-year-old overcome bedwetting, Dr. Howard Bennett reaches for red water balloons and a superhero named Bladderman. Bedwetting is a problem for many children age 6 or older.
Alarms and medicines are available, but understanding how their bodies work for many kids is the key to staying dry. Bennett published a book that’s aimed directly at children, not just their parents to help understand bedwetting so that children understand accidents aren’t their fault－it’s not a matter of willpower but of biology－and to outline research-backed steps they can take to help stay dry.
Bedwetting is hard on youngsters’ self-esteem (自尊). They may decline sleepovers or feel anxious about camp, such as doing their own laundry, to hide the problem. Bennett even had a 9-year-old patient whose younger brother discovered his bedwetting and used it blackmail.
Children usually get nighttime bladder control between ages 3 and 5. The brain and bladder must learn to work together: First, the bladder signals the brain that it’s filling. The brain then either signals back for the bladder to relax and hold more overnight, or signals the child to awaken. Boys are twice as likely as girls to experience delays in nighttime bladder control.
For children who don’t want to wait it out, there are ways to help. Most common are alarms that make a sound when they sense wetness. The alarms, which cost from $ 60 to $200, can help train children to wake up. “But the education is important,” stresses Dr. Patrick McKenna. Good training in how the bladder works and how to control it can meet the devices’ effect. 60. The passage mainly tries to tell readers that __________.
A. bedwetting is a common thing for children B. boys are easier to have bedwetting C. children’s bedwetting can be overcome D. bedwetting is a matter of biology 61. According to the passage, bedwetting happens mainly because _______. A. brain doesn’t signal them to awaken B. these children’s bladders are smaller C. they are too young to control themselves D. they have too much water before sleep 62. The contents that follow the last paragraph of the passage will be ___________. A. how the alarms work in treating bedwetting

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”
Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt－a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths(荒诞的说法) about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is able to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are that you’ll have traveled through a windshield(挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are “thrown clear”.
Myth Number Two: Safety-belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.
Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters. 63．Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”? A．He was driving at great speed. B．He was running across the street. C．He didn’t have his safety belt on. D．He didn’t take his medicine on time. 64．The reason why the father was in a hurry to get home was that he ___________. A．wasn’t feeling very well B．hated to drive in the dark C．wanted to take some exercise D．didn’t want to be caught by the people 65．According to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because
you _______________. A．may be knocked down by other cars. B．may get seriously hurt thrown out of the car C．may find it impossible to get away from the seat D．may get caught in the car door 66．What is the advice given in the test? A．Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour. B．Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.

The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby argues that separation from the parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may scar a child’s personality and be likely to cause emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby’s work that children should not be made to experience day care before the age of three because they have to be separated from their parents if they go to the day care center and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.
Firstly, anthropologists(人类学家) point out that the separation between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal(部落) societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not raise their baby alone --- far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents, care-takers found their children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial. Thirdly, in the last decade there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have all reported that day care had a neutral or slightly positive effect on children’s development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the argument.
But Bowlby’s analysis raises the possibility that early day care had delayed effects. The possibility that such day care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 to 20 years later can only be found out by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely to refuse to leave their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the changing from home to nursery (kindergarten) easy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of day care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear, though experience and available evidence indicate that early day care is reasonable for babies. 67. In which of the following statements does “scar” have the same meaning as the word “scar” in the first paragraph?
A. Harry Potter is an ordinary boy with a scar on his forehead.
B. The divorce of his parents scarred the boy, which he couldn’t get over for many years. C. The cut on his face scarred over very soon.
D. After the students’ graduation, the school usually finds the tables scarred with their names.
68. Which of the following can be inferred from Bowlby’s work?
A. Mothers should not send their children to day care centers before the age of three. B. Day care nurseries have positive effects on a child’s development
C. A child sent to a day care centre before the age of three may have emotional problems
