By taking a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly develop their children's language skills．It is surprising but true．How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the 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 30 three-year-old children and their parents．Half of the children took part in the experimental study；the other half acted as the control group．In the experimental group，the parents were given a two-hour training and they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions．For example，the parent should ask，“What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?” The patents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers，how to suggest different possibilities and how to praise correct answers．

    At the beginning of the study，the children did not differ in measures of language development，but at the end of one month，the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of 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．

 

59．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

    A．Children who talk a lot are more intelligent

    B．Parents who listen to their children can teach them more．

    C．Active children should read more and be given more attention．

    D．The power of speech can easily he developed using proper methods

60．According to the author，which of the following questions is the best one to ask children?

    A．Do you see the elephant?             B．Is the elephant in the cage?

    C．What animals do you like?            D．Shall we go to the zoo?

61．The difference between the control group and the experimental group was       

    A．the training that parents received       B．the age of the children

    C．the books that were read                  D．the number of the children

62．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 will become．

    C．Children's language skills can be developed when they are required to respond actively．

    D．Children who read actively seem six months older．

I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down，I immediately recognized that something was wrong，and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three­month­old calf struggling in the fast-rising water，and it was a life­and­death struggle. Her calf was floating(漂浮) and screaming with fear.Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body.Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.

There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.

Just at this moment，she fell back into the river. If she were carried down，it would be certain death. I knew，as well as she did，that there was one spot (地點(diǎn)) where she could get up the bank，but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.

While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother's love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring (吼叫) all the time，but to her calf it was music.

How to Manage Your Time Effectively

It has been said that “Time is Money” – but I disagree. Isn’t Time really LIFE? At the end of your life, can you even imagine saying to yourself, “I wish I’d made more money.” It’s more likely you’d be thinking “I wish I’d had more TIME – time to enjoy my life more.” Here are my favorite strategies for managing that most precious of all resources – TIME.

1.____________

You can’t find something you’ve lost when you don’t know where you might have lost it in the first place. So keep track of the exact time you begin and end an activity, and write down a few words to describe the activity. This requires you to be really honest with yourself and track your time – so if you spent 23 minutes chatting with coworkers over coffee – write it down EXACTLY!

2.____________

Review your time logs（記錄）and start to classify the tasks into categories（范疇）. You will create these categories yourself. Some examples might be: Administration, Business Development, Sales & Marketing, Computer, etc. You will then sum up how much time you spent doing tasks or activities for each category, in the exact number of minutes. You might also do a little math, to figure the percentage of time each category takes out of each day.

3.____________

If you were honest and diligent, chances are that you had suddenly awakened after you reviewed your daily time logs. You no doubt can see where the time is wasted – and now you’re ready to make a better schedule. Make the best of your time by considering when you’re at your best for certain tasks, by grouping similar tasks together for greater efficiency, and by setting aside certain time for doing uninterrupted work. Think where different tasks can best fit into your day. Then actually write this routine down and post it where you see it every day.

4.____________

You can create your own easy tools to do this. On one sheet of paper, create 5 sections: High Priorities（優(yōu)先）, Secondary Priorities, People to Contact, Telephone calls, and Schedule. You can fill this out each day, first thing in the morning. Each day, ask yourself: “If nothing else gets done today, what are the one or two items that absolutely. MUST be done?” You should also regularly go back to the time logging exercise, so you can determine if you are slipping back into those old had habits and take immediate steps to get back on track.

5.____________

More often than not, we take on more than we should because we don’t want to hurt someone else’s feelings. When we burden ourselves too much, we are not only creating unnecessary stress in our lives, but we are also creating potential situations where we cannot deliver what we’ve promised. We also don’t realize that when we can’t deliver what we’re promised, we can unintentionally cause more pain than if we’d had turned that down in the first place, remember, you’re not doing any favors for yourself or anyone else by taking on more than you can reasonably deliver.

Talking on a mobile phone is expensive, so a lot of people send text messages. Text messages are much cheaper than talking on a mobile phone, and you can make it cheaper by making the words shorter. You can do this by taking out “unimportant” letters in the words and using numbers instead of words (2 =" to," 3 =" free," 4 =" for," 8 =" ate," so h8 =" hate," etc.). You can also keep away from using punctuation (標(biāo)點(diǎn)).       Here is an example: Do U wnt 2 g 2 th cnma tnite (Do you want to go to the cinema tonight?)

What do you think these text messages mean?

Whr hv U bn? Iv bn wtng hrs fr a cll.

Im hm nw, why nt gv me a cll.

I gt a txt mssge frm my frnd. Shes hvng a prty on Strdy.

Mobile phone users have developed a group of symbols (符號(hào)) to show how they feel. They are called emoticons, and there are some examples below. To read an emoticon, you have to look at it sideways. For example, if you say something in a text message that is a joke, you can follow it with a smiling face.

1.Why are text messages popular?

A．Because they are expensive.

B．Because they are cheap.

C．Because they are hard to write.

D．Because they are not important.

4.Why do people use emoticons?
