(A) Just bring your “injured” toys to the Toy Workshop, and the well-trained “toy doctors” will do their best to bring them back to health.

3. _______________ It is a wearable camera set to take photos passively every 30 seconds throughout the day. Researchers tracked the brain activity of patients with memory loss and found that SenseCam images sparked genuine memories of their day.

Thus, patients’ experiences were remembered through thoughts, feelings, and other events not shown in the images. (A) SenseCam is a newly developed memory aid for patients affected by Alzheimer’s disease. (B) Alzheimer’s disease first affects patients’ ability to remember the recent past.

4. _______________ Forty percent of the territory has been set aside as country park because a great deal of the hilly, landslide-prone terrain is unsuitable for building and so is left unmolested. Local hikers have long enjoyed forested uplands, hidden waterfalls, and stony ridges that plunge down to rugged and wild coastlines. In recent years, a number of organizations have made it easier for tourists to discover the city’s lesser-known side. One of these is Ark Eden on Lantau, an environmental center promoting guided walks to see some natural beauty of this largest island. As a green destination, Hong Kong does have the capacity to delight you. (A) Most tourists may wonder whether development-mad Hong Kong has much of an environmental conscience.

In addition, studies conducted by a Stanford psychologist proved that the kids who were complimented on their intelligence, rather than the ones praised for their hard work, were much more likely to turn down the opportunity to do a challenging new task that they could learn from. What’s more, after a person becomes proficient at a mental task through extensive drill, brain activity can shift to the areas associated with higher-level thinking and reflection. (A) Many elements of strict Chinese parents’ approach are supported by research in psychology and cognitive science. (B) Research demonstrates what distinguishes Chinese parents is that they assume strength instead of fragility. (C) Willingness to drill is one major way in which Chinese parents’ approach differs from that of their Western counterparts. (D) By restricting children’s choices as a child, Chinese parents prepare them for many choices in their lives as an adult.

Overweight people will notice immediate relief of common pain during exercise as the springs of G-Defy athletic shoes absorb most of the impact by easing the stress on their joints, back, and neck while walking, running, or jumping. (A) As overweight people slip their feet into G-Defy, the Smart Memory rebound spring propels them forward, reduces their fatigue, and conserves their energy.

Dwindling numbers are also caused by habitat loss due to grass fires, deforestation, and urban redevelopment. At the Jurong Bird Park, which is part of Wildlife Reserves Singapore, they are bred to ensure the existence and survival of this endangered species from South America. The successful breeding program culminated in two hatchlings in February 2010. (A) Generally speaking, Asian people work harder on wildlife preservation and breeding than most South Americans do.

Sleeping under it can reduce overall child mortality by 20 percent. The public’s support for this United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) project can save a lot of children’s lives.

10. _______________ The foster children who are the hardest to find homes for consist of kids older than ten, kids with special needs, sibling groups, and African Americans. Success depends on close coordination of a professional team that includes two full-time private investigators who track down dozens of members of a child’s biological family. On a practical level, relatives are more likely than strangers to go through with adoption, and having contact with family is critical to a child’s identity. As visitors from around the country are eager to observe and replicate its method, Extreme Recruitment might pave the way to revolutionize the foster-care system in America. (A) Before allowing strangers to adopt foster children, the government should make sure they do not have family members who can take care of them. (B) There are nearly half a million American children in foster care, but they would age out of the foster-care system when they turn eighteen. (C) The Internet, especially public databases like publicrecordsnow.com and virtualgumshoe.com, has made Extreme Recruitment’s family-matching job easier.
