26、orld 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 ) door, then stops, tells herself, “Hot, hot,“ and
27、 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 or maybe cats. But new words change them into hors
28、es, 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 to understand what she reads, and to express her id
29、eas 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 before your child can speak clearly, ask questions an
30、d 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 questions he is invited to answer. Third, read aloud e
31、very 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 your childs speech. Youre walking down the street, and
32、 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. 56 A two-year-old child uses the word“ Hot, hot“ (line 4-5, Para.I)_ （ A） to prevent herself from be
33、ing hurt （ B） to learn a new word （ C） to warn her parents of the danger （ D） to show her large collection of words 57 In the authors opinion, who should do a lot of listening? （ A） The book writers （ B） The researchers （ C） The parents （ D） The child 58 What is the main subject discussed in the tex
34、t? （ A） Value of reading aloud children （ B） Power of words in childrens growth （ C） Mind development of young children （ D） Ways to develop a love of reading in children 59 When the child uses “beautiful“ to respond to the mother, it shows that （ A） the child loves certain words better than others
35、（ B） the word “beautiful“ is used more by children （ C） reading has improved the childs language （ D） the child has the ability to correct parents 59 At first, I thought it was just useless e-mails. It was the end of the weekend and I hadnt checked my e-mails since late Friday afternoon. There was a
36、 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 was the subject line: “pleas papers. “ Clearly, the
37、 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 getting these kinds of requests; it s part of the
38、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 his land. A couple of days later, his reply appeared
39、 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 in mosul university/iraq if you need that. “ Maher a
40、lso 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 find a treatment for gastrointestinal (消化系统的 ) illnes
41、s. 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 want to both smile and cry. 60 Why did the e-mail fro
42、m an Iraqi catch the author s attention? （ A） The subject line was not written in standard English. （ B） It was not completely written in English. （ C） The senders name seemed familiar. （ D） It had a short subject line. 61 What does the author like to do as a scientist with other researchers? （ A） R
43、eprint research papers. （ B） Exchange research findings. （ C） Chat with them on the Internet. （ D） Wish each other the best of luck. 62 Besides work interest, the Iraqi and the authors e-mails also delivered_. （ A） heart-warming friendly feelings （ B） medicine to treat certain disease （ C） news abou
44、t each others family （ D） their opinions on wars 63 What can we infer from the text? （ A） The author of the text is a language teacher. （ B） Iraqi people are much happier now than before. （ C） The Internet can bring people closer to each other. （ D） Even knowing a little English can help you learn a
45、 lot. 63 It s not much , but it s home. Francis Chan, an engineer, lives in Hampstead, north London, in a flat thats just 4ft wide by 21ft long. He loves it. Tiny though it is, it has got all the comforts. Peter Baynes, Chans architect (建筑师 ),has achieved a clever piece of design,according to archit
46、ectural experts. The Chan mini-house was built on what was once a path down the side of a big Victarian house. Not an inch of space is wasted. When you step in through the front door, youre standing in the shower, on Britain s only self-cleansing doormat (自动清洁门垫 ). A door opens on to an equally tiny
47、 toilet with washbasin. Two steps further in comes the kitchen, complete with full-sized cooker and fridge, and washer/ drier. A worktop folds down from the wall. Another step and youre into the dining/ office area. Four people can sit here for dinner, says Chan as he sets the table-top into place.
48、He even has a fold-down drawing-board for when he s working at home. The bed is hidden under a cover board right at the back. “I dont even have to make the bed,“Chan says. “ I just put the cover down. “ Chans business suits hang neatly on the wall over the bed. Daylight comes in through the skylight
49、. The house feels like a very small boat and Chan admits he toyed with the idea of naming it the “boat-house“. “It cost around 4,700 to build last year. Now its been valued at 30,000. It proves that good design doesnt need to cost more. It just needs a lot of care.“ says Chan. 64 By saying “Its not much“ (line 1, para
