How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we of

8、ten find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty and inexact command. What accounts for this difference? Despite other expl

9、anations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behavior of the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, wh

10、at is more important, always in its genuine form, with the fight pronunciation, fight intonation, right use of words and fight structure. He drinks in all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation. Then the ch

11、ild has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures

12、 and facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January. And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again and again, when his attempts at speech ar

13、e successful, his desires are understood and fulfilled. Finally, though a childs “teachers“ may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close and personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy. 16 Compared with adults learning a foreign language, c

14、hildren learn their native language with ease. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 Adults knowledge and mental powers hinder their complete mastery of a foreign language. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 The reason why children learn their mother tongue so well lies solely in thei

15、r environment of learning. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 Plenty of practice in listening during the first years of life partly ensures childrens success of learning their mother tongue. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 A child learning his native language has the advantage o

16、f having private lessons all the year round （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 Gestures and facial expressions may assist a child in mastering his native language. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 So far as language teaching is concerned, the teachers close personal relationship

18、1. The weather forecast, a story about the candidates in an election, and movie reviews are examples of messages from the media.

19、the telephone. The media that can reach many people at once are called mass media. 2. It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media.

20、Advertisements are important messages, even though they are sometimes annoying. They help us compare and evaluate products. 3. Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom. Think, for a moment, about how you learn about local news and events. Do you depend on other people o

21、r the media? What about international news? What is the most important source of information for you? People who are asked this question usually answer, “Television.“ 4. Think of all the messages you received today. Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you read advertisements on b

22、illboards (露天广告牌 ) on your way to school. Did you listen to a weather forecast or the sports news on the radio this morning? Right now you are getting information through a very important medium of mass communication-a book. 5. We use the information we get from radio, television, newspapers, and ot

23、her media to make decisions and form opinions. That is why the mass media are so important.

28、y who was able to address the court couldnt begin to explain his acts, though he tried to apologize. There may have been a motive - youthful jealousy (妒忌 ) and resentment.

32、y monitoring their activities and their developing processes of thought? Schools, too, have a role in building character. So do youth organizations.

33、o allow all children a normal passage from childhood to adulthood (成年 ), so that tragic gaps in moral judgement are less likely to occur.

48、ss families chose to stay home after primary school,though some attended private Catholic “finishing“ schools. There they learned a little about music,art,needlework,and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Mariaor her mother. By this time,she had begun

49、 to take her studies more seriously. She read constantly and brought her books everywhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark. Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school,something that very few girls did. In Italy at the time,there were two types of high schools: the “classical“ schools and the “technical“ schools. In the classical schools,the students followed a very tr
