32、al languages 59 If you could give anything in the world to your child, you might want to give a love of words. Young children who can express their feelings dont have as many temper tantrums (发脾气 ). They also learn to control themselves using words. A two -year -old child reaches toward the oven (烤箱
33、 ) door, then stops, tells herself, “Hot, hot,“ and turns away. Researchers call this “ self -directed speech“. It s one of the ways children learn to do what s right and not to do whats wrong. With each new word, a child gains a broader view of the world. Early on, all four -legged animals are dogs
34、 or maybe cats. But new words change them into horses, cows, elephants, and zebras. Children who have a wealth of words have a wealth of ideas. By age four, the number of words a child understands tells us how easily that a child will learn to read in school. It even tells us how well shell be able
35、to understand what she reads, and to express her ideas in writing later on. So, how do you give your child this wonderful gift? First of all, talk a lot. Talk when youre feeding or preparing a bottle; talk when youre doing the dishes or walking down the street. Second, do a lot of listening. Even be
36、fore your child can speak clearly, ask questions and listen for answers. Assume(设想 ) that your child has ideas, and try to figure out what they are. Researchers have found a direct connection between the number of words a child knows and the number of words he hears, and especially the number of que
37、stions he is invited to answer. Third, read aloud every day. There are many reasons for reading aloud, but maybe the best is that books contain words; lots of new, different, interestil1g words. Heres an exciting thing that happens when you read aloud every day: You begin to hear “book words“ in you
38、r childs speech. Youre walking down the street, and you see a pretty flower. “Look,“ you say, “a pretty flower. “ “Actually,“ your child corrects, “its beautiful.“ Actually? Beautiful? Thats when you know youve truly given your child a love of words. 60 A two-year-old child uses the word“ Hot, hot“
39、(line 4-5, Para.I)_ （ A） to prevent herself from being hurt （ B） to learn a new word （ C） to warn her parents of the danger （ D） to show her large collection of words 61 In the authors opinion, who should do a lot of listening? （ A） The book writers （ B） The researchers （ C） The parents （ D） The chi

It was the end of the weekend and I hadnt checked
42、my e-mails since late Friday afternoon. There was a long list of messages. Some I removed without reading. Others were from friends-I saved those to read later when I had more time. One stood out from the rest for two reasons. The first was the name, Maher Nawaf, which I didnt recognize. The second
43、was the subject line: “pleas papers. “ Clearly, the e-mail was仕 om someone who did not have a complete mastery of the English language. The message was from an Iraqi, a university research scientist in Mosul who wanted permission to reprint a research paper I had written. As a scientist, I m used to
44、 getting these kinds of requests; it s part of the give and take among researchers that I especially like. I wrote back the next day, asking for more information about the type of work he was doing. I also wished him and his family best for their safety and well-being during this dangerous time in h
45、is land. A couple of days later, his reply appeared in my inbox. It read, in part: “hi dear Dr. Im very happy to hear good news from you and your help, also I d like to thank you for your feelings towards me and my family . thank you very much for help I want to tell you that I m ready to help you i
46、n mosul university/iraq if you need that. “ Maher also explained in his broken English that he was interested in a paper I d written on the use of lactobacillus acidophilus (a healthy product that can be found in yogurt (酸奶 ) and other foods). It was his hope that he could use my findings to help fi
47、nd a treatment for gastrointestinal (消化系统的 ) illness. He signed off:“ warmest regards to you and lovely family. “ Despite his difficulty with the language, he had painted a picture for me由 at was far more than a simple request for information. The humanity displayed (流露出的 ) in his message made me wa
