It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the child
2、rens language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the childs language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as
3、 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-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The paren
4、ts in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative 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 childre
5、n in the experimental group showed 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. （分数：1.00）(1).Which of the following can be inf

10、eem six months olderNonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry. For example, the body distance between two speakers can be impor
11、tant. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be “cold“ or “distant“ because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he i
12、s speaking to . The “eye contact“ provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who dont like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are
13、 speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about. On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often
14、 be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy. （分数：1.00）(1).According to the passage, nonverbal communication_.（分数：0.20）A.is a method often used by people who cannot speakB.
15、can tell something that words cannotC.can be used to talk with people who cannot bearD.is less used than words(2).The South American_.（分数：0.20）A.tends to keep a distance between himself and the person he is speaking toB.usually stands close to the person he is talking toC.is often unfriendly when sp

18、n of ones unfriendlinessC.makes people feel happyD.makes people feel uncomfortableIn the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea
19、that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可的) rather a long time agoso much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested
20、 rather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem
21、 curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not
22、fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness. （分数：1.00）(1).According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children_.（分数：0.2
23、0）A.sensible and sensitiveB.competitive and interestedC.curious and friendlyD.happy and co-operative(2).Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think_.（分数：0.20）A.children are reluctant to help each otherB.schools lay too much emphasis on cooperationC.children should grow up wit
