Its surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the childrens language developme

17、nt. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the childs language skills increase. A study was done with two-to-three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children took part in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control gr

18、oup. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes/no questions. For example, the parents should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?” Experimental parents were

19、also instructed in how to expand on their childrens answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group

20、 tested 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.36. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Children w

21、ho talk more can develop their language skills better. B. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more. C. Active children should read more. D. Verbal ability cannot easily be increased.37. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about r

22、eading? A. Do you see the elephant? B. Is the elephant in the cage? C. What animals do you see? D. Shall we go to the zoo?38. What was the difference between the control group and the experimental group? A. The training that parents received. B. The age of the children. C. The books that were read.

23、D. The number of children.39. What conclusion is best supported by the passage? A. Parents should be trained to read to their children. B. The more children read, the cleverer they become. C. Childrens language skills increase when they are required to respond actively. D. Children who read actively

24、 act six months older. B We often hear people say, “I have a good memory for things like that” or “I can remember names”. But do you know memory is the single most important thing and it has played a very important part? For early men, there were dangerous all around thembad weather, wild animals. T

25、he key to keep on living lay in mans ability to remember these dangers and the ways he had dealt with them in the past. In order for memories to be stored, the human brain became more complex. And as man learned how to deal with them, he became civilized(文明). Surprisingly, scientists today understan

26、d little about memory and how it works. They have not yet found a way to open up the brain and observe its function without destroying it. Perhaps there are two types of memory: short-term and long-term. Short-term refers to those facts that stay with us for a few seconds to a few hours. For instanc

27、e, when you stay at a hotel, you remember the room number and forget as soon as you leave. Long-term memory, on the other hand, means you remember things for a long period of time. If you spend your honeymoon in a particular hotel, its likely that youll remember your stay quite clearly.Scientists al

28、so believe that a short-term memory can become a long-term memory through consolidation(巩固). A lot of chemical and physical changes take place in the part of the brain. Although the human brain weighs three pounds, it contains 30 billion nerve cells(神经细胞) acting like a computer. When those changes s

29、trengthen the links(联系) in certain nerve cells, a thought becomes part of the long-term memory.40. According to the author, without the development of mans memory there would be .

A. the weight of brain B. two types of memory C. 30 billion nerve cells D. chemical and physical changes CMy teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried,

32、 the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.One night I felt

33、 so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I cant do anything more for my son. Im at the end of my rope. Im giving the whole thing up to you.” I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karls absen

34、ces.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just dont know what to do. Ive tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. Its out of my hands.” For

35、 a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time,” and hung up.Karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I

36、 noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought Id play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. Thats w

41、an driving a car on a busy motorway. But still there is a danger that grows every year. Airliners get larger and larger. Some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one large airliner struck into another in mid-air, 600 lives could be lost.From

42、the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a

43、day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident. Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One

44、was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So,

45、instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example o

46、f the danger that grows every year.48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Traveling by air is as safe as by car. B. Traveling by air is not as safe as by car. C.

Their parents also had some things in common: healthy weight, more education, and control over their kids diets. Parents income and kids race did

Healthy eating and active lifestyles are part of the solution she recommends.Physical activity is promoted as part of a healthy life (get

54、a doctors OK first). In this study, “active” didnt always mean tons of exercise. Teens part-time jobs, volunteer activities, and hobbies also helped by reducing time with TV or computer games, notes Crossman.The American Academy of Pediatrics recom-mends that children at risk should be identified by

63、dings are symbols of cities. They represent the culture of a city. In addition, historic buildings serve as important resources for historical education. What is more, historic buildings are all good tourism sites. The history factors usually keep the number of visitors growing. Others believe that

64、a city should destroy its old things and replace them with new ones. George Bernard Show, for instance, made an even more perceptive remark. We are made wise, not by the recollection（回忆）of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do. If old things becomes a burden in our future development, why shouldnt we replace them with new ones? 9 / 9
