It ,ssurprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes

17、 a big difference in th e children ' s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child ' s language skills increase.A study was done with two-to-three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children took par

18、t in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. 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? ”

19、 rather than“Is the doggie runningaway?” Experimental parentsalso instructed in how to expand on their children ansswers, 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

20、 the end of one month, the children in the experimental group 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

25、t?For early men, there were dan gerous all around them bad weather, wild ani mals. The key to keep on livi ng lay in man' s ability to remember these dan gers and the ways he had dealt with themin the past. In order for memories to be stored, the human brain became more complex. And as man leari

26、ned how to deal with them, he became civilized （文明）.Surprisingly, scientists today un dersta nd little about memory and how it works. They have not yet found a way to ope n up the brain and observe its function without destroying it. Perhaps there are two types of memory: short-term and Ion g-term.

27、Short-term refers to those facts that stay with us for a few sec onds to a few hours. For instanee, when you stay at a hotel, you remember the room number and forget as soon as you leave. Longterm memory, on the other hand, means you remember things for a long period of time. If you spend your honey

28、moon in a particular hotel, it' s likely that youyour stay quite clearly.Scientists also believe that a short-term memory can become a long-term memory through con solidati on （巩固）.A lot of chemical and physical cha nges take place in the part of the brain. Although the human brain weighs three

29、pounds, it contains 30 billion nerve cells （神经名 田胞）acting like a computer. When those changes strengthen the links （联系）in certain nerve cells, a thought becomes part of the Ion g-term memory.40.

32、ithdraw n after his father died. As a sin gle pare nt, I tried to domy best to talk to him, but the more I tried, 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

33、he would n ever graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Noth ing worked.One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help.“ Pleasecan ' t do anything more for my son. I1 m at the end of my rope. I' m giving the whole thing up toyou.M I

34、was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster.to talk to you about Karl1 s absences.v Before he could say another word, I choked up and all mydisappo in tme nt and sad ness over Karl came pouri ng out into the ears of this stra nger."11son but I just do nr t kn

35、ow what to do. I' ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school andno thi ng has worked. It ' s out of my han ds." For a mome nt there was sile nee on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said,“ Thank you for your time, " and hung up.Karl 1 s next report card

36、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 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 headmas

37、ter last year?” I nodded. “ That was me. I thought Iplay a joke but whe n I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That whe n I knew I had to make you proud.”44. By saying “ Karl became withdrawn " ， the author means that the boy changed entirely andA. preferred to st

43、 exactly whe n to turn, whe n to climb, and whe n to come dow n. The air traffic con trollers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers the

One was carry ing 69 passe ngers from Toron to, the other 176 passe ngers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar

45、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.
