15、he dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained hi
16、m and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities. When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur“ boots“ and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning
17、shortly not only with Williams daily paper but with a half-ounce packet of Williams favorite tobacco, John Raineys Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even show
18、ing a tooth mark. Williams was a railway man, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times“days“ , “late days“ or“ nights“. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and
19、return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williamsslippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously under livered. A curious thing
20、happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wal
21、let containing over fifty pounds. The house Was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later that was five days after the fall Prince dropped the wallet into Williams hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pou

It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in
27、 the childrens 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 hal
28、f acted as 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?“
29、The parents 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, th
30、e children 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 show an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.41 Which of the following can be inferr
31、ed from the passage?（A）Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.（B） Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.（C） Active children should read more and be given more attention.（D）Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods. 42 What does“ it“ in line 2 can most probab

I remember her coming home tired from her job at the restaurant and saying that we were lucky. We didnt have a lot
36、 of clothes or toys, but my mother always made sure we had enough to eat. Her love and devotion for my brother and me made our lack of material possessions seem insignificant. Even today, if I were given a choice between having love at home and wealth, I would want it just the way I had it. I grew u
37、p poor in material things but rich in love. Since my father was never around long enough to teach me physical things or to play games with me, I didnt succeed in any competitive sport.
