21、ing to八、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)九、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：5.00)It may look like just another playgroup, but a unique educational center in Manhattan is really giving babies something to talk about. “Its a school to teach languages to babies and young children with games, songs-some of the clas
22、ses also have arts and crafts,“ said Francois Thibaut, the founder of the Language Workshop for Children, a place where babies become bilingual.Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English. Educators use special songs and visual (视觉的) a
23、ids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk, the languages will not be so foreign. “Children have a unique capacity to learn many languages at the same time,“ said Thibaut. “Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sound
24、s he or she has never heard yet.“ Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years old. For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibarut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with childs play.“I always wanted to learn Spanish,
25、 but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently,“ said Marc Lazare, who enrolled his son at the school. “I figured at this age, two, its a perfect time for him to learn.“Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence. One yo
26、ung student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages (though that included “monkey“ and “lion“). The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents. “I think they sometimes speak French when they think I wont understa
27、nd them,“ said parent Foster Gibbons.Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minute up to 2 hours. Even when students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home. Tapes and books are included so kids can practice on their own.（分数：5.00）(1).The word “b

29、s oldB.from birth to three years oldC.in his childhoodD.in his teens(3).According to Thibaut, it is possible _（分数：1.00）A.for children to take advantage of their parents by using a foreign languageB.to expose children to a foreign language after they can speak EnglishC.to combine language lessons wit

32、ther had taken when he stayed with us in Beijing in the spring of 1966. Of all these interesting scenes of the past, the one I exclaimed at was a photo of Chang An Jie at Tiananmen.

33、me to the city 37 years ago. In those days, the bicycle was king. What sheer joy it was to cycle along with the hundreds (not thousands) of fellow pedallers (骑车人), never in fear of life and limb as one is now. I bought my first bike in 1963. It cost me 150 yuan-in those days three or four months sal
34、ary for the average city dweller.Such changes! Good or bad? Today, cycling is hazardous but bikes are easily affordable. Gone are the old wooden houses I remember in south Beijing and fast disappearing are the small, overcrowded courtyard houses lacking running water, central heating and bathroom. V
35、ery many Beijingers now live in more convenient, better-equipped flats in high-rises. But these very high-rises are swallowing up the unique character of the old city of narrow hutongs, age-old siheyuan and close-knit communities.I loved years ago to cycle to Beihai to visit my friends (I then taugh
36、t at China Foreign Affairs University). In spring I rode through the blue-green wheat fields, in summer through fields of tall maize (玉米). Further west; beyond Beijing Foreign Studies University there were the vegetable fields of the Evergreen Commune (四季青公社) and the rice paddies glistening in the s
