With a bit of creativity, you can help your child enjoy reading more, and encourage him to do more!‎ ‎ Buy or borrow a lot of “fun” books. Choose books that are slightly below his level of reading ability. Don’t forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. Don’t comment about the books. Simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. Computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. Instead, you should take advantage of your child’s love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.‎ Buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. Tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. Most kids will do anything else rather than go to sleep, so there’s a chance you’ll create a new bedtime reading habit.‎ Many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. Put a box of books and magazines near ‎ the kitchen table so that reading material is accessible. ‎ Often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. This change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. Even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. Select books together, and make sure they’re ones you enjoy as well, so your enjoyment will come through as you read to them.‎ ‎50. To make children become interested in reading, parents should _______. ‎ A. tell them what they can learn from these books B. choose books based on their interest C. choose the easiest books for them to read[来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ D. always read books together with them ‎ ‎51. Which of the following is NOT what parents are advised to do? ‎ A. Reduce children’s sleeping time. B. Read to children when possible.‎ C. Have reading material available. D. Pick the right computer games. ‎ ‎52. What attitude do most parents hold towards children playing computer games? [来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.‎ ‎53. The main idea of the passage is to ________. ‎ A. help children succeed in school subjects B. give parents advice on how to educate children C. remind parents of the importance of reading ‎ D. teach parents how to encourage children to read 参考答案-----------50---53 BABD [来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ ‎**************************************************结束 ‎[来源:Z+xx+k.Com]‎ ‎(4) ‎ ‎ CHENGDU — New towns are rising rapidly in the countryside of Sichuan Province, southwest China.‎ ‎ Over the past two years, some 200 towns have been set up, bringing the total to 5, 600.

Elephants can! They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not．‎ In Kenya, researchers found that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups．Young Maasai men spear animals and thus pose a threat to ‎ elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants．‎ In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man．When the elephants detected the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they detected the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all．‎ Garment color also plays a role, though in a different way．In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men．Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing]‎ The researchers believe that the elephants’ emotional reactions are due to their different interpretations of the smells and the sights．Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide．Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low．Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive．‎ ‎1．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Kamba and Maasai people? ‎ ‎ A．Maasai people are a threat to elephants． ‎ ‎ B．Kamba people raise elephants for farming．‎ ‎ C．Both Kamba and Maasai people are elephant hunters．‎ ‎ D．Both Kamba and Maasai people traditionally wear red clothing．[来源:1ZXXK]‎ ‎2．How did the elephants react to smell in the study? ‎ ‎ A．They attacked a man with the smell of new clothing．‎ ‎ B．They needed time to relax when smelling something unfamiliar．‎ ‎ C．They became anxious when they smelled Kamba-scented clothing．‎ ‎ D．They were frightened and ran away when they smelled their enemies．‎ ‎3．What is the main idea of this passage? ‎ ‎ A．Elephants use sight and smell to detect danger．‎ ‎ B．Elephants attack people who wear red clothing．‎ ‎ C．Scientists are now able to control elephants’ emotions． ‎ ‎ D．Some Kenyan tribes understand elephants’ emotions very well．‎ ‎4．What can be inferred about the elephant’s behavior from this passage? ‎ ‎ A．Elephants learn from their experiences．‎ ‎ B．Elephants have sharper sense of smell than sight．‎ ‎ C．Elephants are more intelligent than other animals]‎ ‎ D．Elephants tend to attack rather than escape when in danger．‎ 参考答案 （A） ADAA ‎ ‎**************************************************结束
