Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will
14、“obey“ instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey“ is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation 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
15、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 during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But si
16、nce these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, 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 self-imitation le
17、ads to deliberate 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. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person
18、 means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the word. Thus the use at seven months of “mama“ as a greeting for his mother can not be dismissed as a meaningless simply because he also uses it at other times for hi
19、s father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds. 36. Before ch
20、ildren started speaking_ . A. they need equal amount of listening B. they need different amounts of listening C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions D. they cant understand and obey the adults oral instructions 37. Children who start speaking later_ . A. ma
21、y have problems with their listening B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them C. usually pay close attention to what they hear D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly 38. A babys first noise are_ . A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form of lang
22、uage C. a sign that he means to tell you something D. an imitation of the speech of adults 39. The problem of deciding at what point a babys imitations can be considered as speech_ . A. is important because words have different meanings for different people B. is not especially important because the
23、 changeover takes place gradually C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age D. is one that should be completely ignored because childrens use of words is often meaningless 40. The speaker implies _. A. parents can never hope to teach their children ne
24、w sounds B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly D. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating 四 . 改错 We are all busy talking about and use the Internet, 41. _ which set up in the 1960

31、0 SendSending Near sightedness is a serious problem among the youth of our country. About two thirds of young people are near sighted. There are two main reasons for this: one is due to too much emphasis on success in entrance examinations and long hours of work; the other is that children watch tel
32、evision too much often sitting right in front of the TV set. I have some suggestions for solving this problem. First, parents should limit their childrens television viewing. Then we must keep a proper distance when watching TV or reading, and we must not read in too dim or bright light we should take breaks during study periods to rest our eyes. Also, regular medical checkups are quite necessary.
