11、 a new 37 at Phillips. They took me to the school and 38 me around the campus. On our way to my dorm, we saw a huge truck delivering a students 39 to her room. Many students at the school were very rich, and they would fill their dorms with decorations. But I was 40 not to because I thought it was a

18、d write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies（复杂）of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old wants to read（or even a two-year-old
19、for that matter）, the child has the right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teachers affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, th
20、e child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic（having difficulty in reading）.Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five
21、to learn to read（ if badly done it could put them off reading for life ）, there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms. For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters.Should the young chi
22、ld ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an attraction should not be ignored. But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag.61. This passage is mainly a

25、orful B. teach children to write neatlyC. help children recognize simple letters D. force children to develop the habit of reading65.

26、tarting to read should ask specialists for helpD. children should be taught with patience, care and a sense of humour23.

Now you have to stay up
41、all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up(加速)our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed(压力) and tired.
