8、“Mom, its time,” he said. “Hear me out: Its time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship.

9、s suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.Id known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our

The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; its even slightly reversed(颠倒). Hes leading me. Im asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to

13、the occasion. Hes taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone whos not much of a reader, he now searches instruction manuals.

18、nd exactly like a native speaker? Some experts say it is not. Eusebia V. Mont leads the Accent Modification(修正) Program at the University of Marylands Department of Hearing & Speech Sciences. Mont talked about it to reporters.Students come to the program for one or two school terms. They meet in a g

19、roup for 90 minutes a week. Each student meets with one other student and a “doctor” for more individual work. Altogether the program amounts to about 60 hours of learning in class. Mont says the rate of progress absolutely depends on the type of accent it is, how long theyve been speaking English a

20、nd how often they speak English.Mont says, “I view accent as the spread of culture; the spread of a persons individual identity and I dont work to remove any part of culture from an individual.” Students will most probably work in English-speaking environments when they leave school. The program tea

21、ches them tools for this. For example, they learn how to give an “elevator pitch” a short description of an idea and how to discuss their research.

22、sis. One method is called the Compton Method. Arthur J. Compton developed the method for English learners who know English vocabulary and grammar fairly well. It begins with a test to find out how the students native language affects different areas of pronunciation. Then learners use practice mater

23、ials to record their own voice and compare their pronunciation attempts to recordings of a native speaker.Another method is the Tomatis Method, which uses special headphones and includes listening to electronically modified voices and asks students to find the difference between their pronunciation

24、and the voices they hear. This method is also used to cure children who have mental conditions that can cause difficulty in language learning.Monts final advice to English learners is not to expect to sound exactly like a native speaker. And remember: even native English speakers do not all speak al

30、singly under threat.The research led by Dr. Michelle van Vliet of Utrecht University analyzed 965 cases of river water quality changes during extreme weather such as drought, heatwaves, rainstorms, and flooding.

During droughts, less water is available to dilute contaminants(稀释污染物), while rainstorms and floods generally result in more contaminants that run off from land to rivers and streams. Improvements or mi

Land use and other human factors such as wastewater treatm

The research also calls for more data collection and studies of water quality in non-Wes

Most water quality studies now focus on rivers and streams in North America and Europe.”The results of the study underline the urgent need for a better understanding of water quality changes during extreme weather events
