People are writing today where they would have been telephoning yesterday. So people are engaging with words mo

Some people think the most important part of communication is to make people understand each other better. Will technology make that easier? The translator

31、o of a traffic jam.The strange close understanding between twins, is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each other“s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication. What is not so widely known is that this special relatio

32、nship often acts as brake on twins“ intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year-old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particular

33、ly severe in an underprivileged family, a one-parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway. Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage. The on

34、ly solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.（分数：12.00）(1).Many people don“t know that _.（分数：3.00）A.twins understand each other very wellB.twins are slow to learn to t

36、rs less than non-twins.C.There is little stimulation for them.D.Adults don“t like to talk with them.(3).The author probably feels that twins“ problem _.（分数：3.00）A.can not be solved because solution is very cruelB.can be solved because twins will be separatedC.can not be solved unless the twins are f

37、orced to live in an ordinary environmentD.can be solved if the adults communicate with them more often(4).The writer mentions all of the items listed below EXCEPT _.（分数：3.00）A.twins can help each otherB.twins share each other“s emotionC.twins are able to understand each other in a private languageD.

38、twins communicate less with their parentsJimmy was five years old and his brother, Billy, was only a baby.

46、getting their children into Harvard, many parents send their children to violin lessons at 3 and sign them up for tennis as soon as they“re big enough to hold a bat. And that“s just the warm-up.

47、d, “It“s important for children to learn honour and responsibility (责任) ,“ he says. “It builds discipline (纪律性) and character.“ Maybe, but scientists say that too many outside activities destroy something children need even more - time to connect with their family members.
