        　　Passage One
        　　Cancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum for cancer patients to swap stories and share experiences on how to cope with such a devastating disease.
        　　But Cancer Chat is a forum with a difference: it has an information safety net.
        　　This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue "cancer cures" or scientifically unsound information.
        　　Anyone can have access to the messages posted on Cancer Chat but if people wish to post a message they will need to register.
        　　And Rebekah Gibbs, cancer patient and star of TV's Casualty has pledged her support for the new project. "I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea," she said. "I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer and I have had such a heart-warming response from other people going through the same thing."
        　　"The idea of a Cancer Chat forum means you can share information about treatment and side effects and you can really open up about your feelings online in a way that can be difficult when talking to close friends and family. And with Cancer Research UK monitoring the forum people can be reassured about the quality of information being exchanged. "
        　　Cancer Chat will also encourage its users to check out any cancer questions on its Cancer Help UK website which is specially designed to give patients and their families 6,000 pages of up-to-date information that is easy to understand and explains a wide range of treatments for different types of cancer and gives details of clinical trials. There is also a UK database of cancer clinical trials.
        　　The award-winning website attracts around one million visitors a month and Cancer Research UK hopes that some of these visitors will also want to post comments on the Cancer Chat forum.
        　　For those who do not have access to computers and have questions about cancer, the charity's team of cancer information nurses are available during office hours to talk over patients' concerns on the phone.
        　　31. Cancer Chat is different from other forums in that _____.

        　　Passage Two
        　　Play is the principal business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development.
        　　In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.
        　　In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws(七巧板)and construction toys; painting, scribbling(涂鸦) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.
        　　The third stage of play development-from five to seven or eight years-the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the chills most enjoys.
        　　Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed-to a child of nice or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.
        　　36. The passage tells us that as a child grows up _____.
        　　A. he should be allowed to choose his own toys
        　　B. he should be given identical toys
        　　C. he should be given different toys
        　　D. he should be given fewer and fewer toys
        　　37. According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents _____.
        　　A. determine his character
        　　B. will not change after the age of three
        　　C. partly determine the standard he is likely to reach
        　　D. to a large extent determine the choice of toys
        　　38. Who have the best chance of growing up successfully?
        　　A. Those who tend to overeat
        　　B. Those who are given a lot of toys.
        　　C. Those who are given toys, talked to and played with.
        　　D. Those who can share their toys with their playmates.
        　　39. We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity _____.
        　　A. when he is two B. when he is around four
        　　C. when he is six D. when he is eight
        　　40. The passage is mainly about _____.
        　　A. the importance of pre-school education B. the importance of schooling
        　　C. the role of play in a child's development D. the choice of toys for adolescents
