Sam is not yet 2. He watches almost no TV and is takcn on daily walks through the zoo, so it was not surprising when he pointed to an elephant and said, "Ella." What was unexpected was when he pointed to his diaper(尿布) and said, "Elmo. "

In Sam's world, Elmo doesn't live on Sesame Street. He is the cheerful face of Pampers, printed on the waistband(腰帶), requested at every change. The little image has made Pampers Sam's diaper of choice and Pampers supplier Procter ﹠ Gamble very happy. If Sam's interest holds, his parents will buy more than $ 2,000 worth of Pampers before their son is potty(便壺)trained. And, the chances are, others who love Sam will encourage that change with the Sesame Street Potty Elmo and over time so large an amount of Elmo equipment that Sam's family may feel they bye on the street.

Sam is but one of the army of tiny consumers. In the United States, children recognize product patterns by 18 months, according to Boston College professor Juliet Schor, and, by2, many ask for products by brand name. Some parents report that Baby's first word was not "mama" or "dada" but "Coke"-- which makes sense considering that 26 percent of kids 2 and under have a TV in their room and the average American child sees some 40,000 advertisements a year. That in turn helps explain why the United States, with 4.5 percent of the world's population, buys 45 percent of the global toy production. American kids get an average of 70 new toys a year, calculates Schor, who surveyed 300 children for her new book, Born to Buy.

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆安徽省屯溪一中高三第一次質(zhì)量檢測英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

Several recent studies have found that being randomly (隨機地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性)of conflict.
Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and force students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.
An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.
In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."
Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.
According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.
An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.
Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.
At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.
"One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."
"I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes(模式化形象) and strengthened stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural resistance."
The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.
Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.
【小題1】What can we learn from some recent studies?

A．Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.
B．Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.
C．Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.
D．Interracial lodging does more harm than good.
【小題2】What does the Indiana University study show?
A．Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.
B．Roommates of different races just don't get along.
C．Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.
D．Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.
【小題3】What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?
A．The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.
B．Students of different races are required to share a room.
C．Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.
D．Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.
【小題4】What can be inferred from Grace Kao’s saying about interracial lodging?
A．Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.
B．Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.
C．Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.
D．It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.
