It need
25、s exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children
26、 are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is m

32、 a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didnt have any other luggage.

33、 round-trip ticket and a small package. “Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it.

34、Thats right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”“Thanks.” Is Brian a criminal? Not at all. He is an air-courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris.

51、uage 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 listeners .Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as
52、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 study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable
53、 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 cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate ,they can hardly be regarded
54、 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 leads on to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The pro
55、blem 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 means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word wil
56、l change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of wha
57、t 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.71.Before children start speaking_.A. they need different amounts of listening B. they need equal am

69、 editor,Im writing to say something about the problems of children left behind in rural areas. As we all know, parents are to children what water is to fish. However, more and more parents go to cities, leaving their children alone, therefore they feel lonely. Besides, they may have difficulty in co
70、mmunicating with others. Whats worse, it can have a bad effect on their studies, causing them to get low marks. Furthermore, many children may have psychological problems. They may get hurt easily.So we must take immediate measures to solve the problems. For example, parents can take their children to the cities that they work or they still live in rural areas. Only in this way can we ensure that they will have the same future as other kids.Best wishes.Yours,Li Hua
