28、e and mark the corresponding letter on answer sheet .passage 1children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. you only have to share your childrens cur

29、iosity(好奇). firstly, listen to their questions. i once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. the children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary(薪水) and whether i liked my job. when i finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. finally i

30、said, “now that were finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?” after a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? when i try eating leaves like that, i get a stomachache. why?” this began a set of questions that lasted nearly two h

31、ours. secondly, give them time to think. studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. when adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical(符合逻

32、辑的), complete and creative answers.thirdly, watch your language. once you have a child involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “thats right” or “very good”. these words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior(行为). but in talking about science, quick praise can signal that di

33、scussion is over. instead, keep things going by saying “thats interesting” or “id never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.never push a child to “think”. it doesnt make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. whats more, this can turn

34、 a conversation into a performance. the child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target(目标) for your disagreement.lastly, show; dont tell. real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a bo

35、ok or a television program. let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.61. according to the pass

36、age, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _.a. to let them see the world aroundb. to share the childrens curiosityc. to explain difficult phrases about scienced. to supply the children with lab equipment62. in the last sentence of

38、wait for one or two seconds after a questionc. tell them to answer the next dayd. wait at least for three seconds after a question64. in which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?a. the second and third. b. the fourth and fi
