7、n build a path to a lifelong (终身的 ) love of reading and can help your child get a head start in school. While reading to your child is still the most important thing you can do to build reading skills, there are many techniques that can help. Make reading fun. Play games with your child as you read.
8、 Many traditional childrens games can be adapted to encourage reading skills. While reading or during play, tell your child, “1 spy with my little eye, something that begins with the letter b.“ Help the child find something on the page or in the room that begins with that letter. For example, “1 see
9、 a barn.“ This can also be used to teach beginning letter sounds, “1 spy with my little eye, something that begins with the sound s.“ Help the child find a word that begins with the “s“ sound. In this variation on the popular game, instruct the child that, “Simon says, point to something that starts
10、 with the letter n.“ The child can then find an object in the room or a body part, such as the nose, that starts with the letter presented. This can also be used to teach beginning sounds. Make a game out of rhyming (押韵 ) words by making up silly words to rhyme with the childs name or favorite toys.
11、 This sets the stage for rhyming real words by showing the child the similarities of sounds. As the child masters making up the words, begin rhyming real words to one another. Tips to raise a successful reader: Put books in places where the child plays: If books are easily accessible, children are m
12、ore likely to pick them up. Let children “read to you“ by looking at pictures. Making up stories to go along with illustrations helps children discover how words relate to pictures. Take books along on trips or even short visits to the doctors office or grocery store. Have children help you shop. Re

This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple
17、 facts. 2 An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations (康乃馨 ) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12 than when kept at 26 . Keeping freshly. harvested flowers at the right temperatur
18、es is probably the most important aspect of flower care. 3 Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉 ). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen a
19、nd produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳 ), called respiration (呼吸 ), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and colour. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is
20、heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies. 4 How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respir
21、ation. How is respiration controlled? By. controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly. 5 Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality
22、of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to “drink“ water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlor
23、ine bleach (含氯漂白剂 ) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (at 4% solution) be added to each litre of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day. 23 A. Control of Respiration B. Beauty of Fresh Cut Flowers C. Role of Respiration D. Mos

He wasnt tall or good-looking, but he was very nice, attractive and athletic. He had something that I admired very much. He was natural, warm, and sincere. I disregarded (不顾 ) m
27、y parents disapproval. We were very happy together, He picked me up from my dorm every morning, and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus, or sunbathe (晒太阳 ) on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm. He came from a poor family, but in order to make me ha
28、ppy, he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me. Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied (妒忌 ) me. He wasnt a local, but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together. However, when I got a part-time job during the
29、 summer vacation, people began giving me a lot of pressure, saying that a pretty, intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with. This was also what my family thought. He spent the summer in his hometown, so I was all by myself. When he got back, I began finding fault with him,
30、 But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away. However, I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse. I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well. With my good performance at school, I also got admission to graduate school at one of C
31、hinas best universities. He, on the other hand, did not do so well at school or at work. I had to worry about his living expenses, job and scores. Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel last June. He was in great pain, and my cold words and bad mo
32、ods started turning him away. Graduation time was drawing near, and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown. He said that he couldnt put up with me anymore. I was shocked and looked at him in despair. True love happens only once, but I found it out too late. 31 When did the author fall in love

Once while being prepped (准备 ) for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about
36、 stay-at-home fathers. I made the point that one reason were seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that its no longer a given (假定的事实 ) that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home. At that point, one of the male
37、 crew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough for my benefit, “It should be the better parent who stays home.“ A lot of guys say things like that. Usually its a code for, “My wife (read: any woman) is the better parent.“ I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so his declaration ma
38、de me bristle (激动 ). It implied that our familys choice could only have been correct if I was a “better“ parent than my wife. I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better“ parent: She had spent more time with Ry, could read him better and calm him
39、 more quickly. And given a choice, hed have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable one, my wife went out to work and ! looked after our son. Because of the increased time I spent with him, I soon knew Ry well, understood what he needed and could look after him more or less as well as
40、 my wife could. Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the worlds great secrets: Women are good at looking after children because they do it. Its not because of any innate (先天的 ) female aptitude (天资 ) or a mothers instinct. Its because they put in the time and attention required to become
41、good at the job. Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing, but over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I dont know. Who cares? Children are not made of glass. Other people are capable of looking aft
42、er them besides Mom. 36 Which of the following does the first paragraph imply? （ A） Men like staying at home. （ B） The author works at a TV station, （ C） In more and more families the wife is earning more than the husband, （ D） The husband is the better parent. 37 The author decided to stay at home

Ties, or neckties, have been a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries. But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems, with them. Reports su
47、ggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So, are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties? Maybe. Last week, the UKs Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era. He hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches o
48、f fabric that most men ever buy in their lives. In fact, Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of them we. re celebrities (知名人士 ) without ties, which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past. For some more conservative British, the tie is a mus
49、t for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie. For people like Callaghan, the tie was a sign of being complete, of showing respect. Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church, to work in the office, to a party - almost every social occasion. But today, people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions. The origin of the tie is tricky. It started a
