A. The Volcano B. Kilimanjaro Volcano C. The Mountains D. The Melted Rock D “ It hurts me more than you‖, and ―This is for your own good‖—these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework. That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a letalone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation. Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we‘ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students—―so passive‖—and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them. She believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children‘ s passivity ( 被動(dòng)性 ). ―We‘ re talking about a generation of kids who‘ ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ?go and look it up‘, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.‖ Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. . It‘ s time for parents to end their vacation and e back to work..

The main idea of the passage is that___________ . A. parents should leave their children alone B. kids should have more activities at school C. it‘s time to be more strict with our kids D. parents should always set a good example to their kids E Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long children will ―obey‖ spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word ―obey‖ is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation that is usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises , and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain ,friendliness, and so on. But since these can‘t be said to show the baby‘s intention to municate , they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment ,and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store This selfimitation(摸仿) leads on to deliberate(有意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get our teeth into (認(rèn)真對(duì)待 ) . The meaning of a word depends on what a word a particular person means by it in a particular situation。 Yes 20. Sorry , I can‘t lend you my dictionary . It is to me _____ your glasses are to you.
