"Mama! Mama!" My 2-year-old son yells at his most excited, I-just-discovered-something -huge voice when we are eating a delicious hot curry with steamed rice at our dinner table．
"Look, a tree!" He yells again．I turn to find him holding up a piece of broccoli （西兰花） for us to see．"Oh honey," I laugh and begin to protest, "That is bro．．．" But I stop．
As my son grows up, I find myself struggling not lo turn into the worst kind of teacher -the kind who overcorrects．
I have to learn to fight against my strong adult need to jump in and say, "No．that is not right．" in the name of promoting knowledge．Unless I think his incorrect concept puts him in the way of harm, I have no desire to fix it．
Instead, I want to encourage my son's colorful sense of the world, in which stuffed （毛绒的） animals attend story times, flies are fascinating creatures, and red balloons share secrets．
At our dinner table, I study the face of my child who is eagerly waiting for confirmation．He is smiling．His cheeks are a little flushed with excitement．
Instead of taking the opportunity to teach him a new vegetable name．I say, "Wow, look!" pointing at his plate, "You have many trees in your rice!"
He laughs happily, his lovely face redder．
"So, how many trees can you eat?" I ask him, breaking in with another strong parenting desire I have: forming healthy eating habits．
He playfully puts one after another into his mouth, delighled by the possibility of pulling out the little trees that grow in his rice and eating them right off his plate．
56．Why does the writer decide to ignore her son's false idea of things?
A．She doesn't think it will harm her son．
B．She doesn't want to promote knowledge．
C．She wants to be a good teacher．
D．She wants her son to be happy．
57．The underlined word "flushed' in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ____．

58．In the writer's opinion- parents should_____．
A．allow their children to sense the world and make mistakes

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 listeners. Most 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 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 sincethese can't be said to show the baby's 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 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 out. 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 will 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 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.
1.Before children start 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 can't understand and obey the adult's oral instructions
2.Children who start speaking late _____.
A. may 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
3.A baby's first noises are _____.
A. an expression of his moods and feelings
B. an early form of language
C. a sign that he means to tell you something
D. an imitation of the speech of adults
4.The problem of deciding at what point a baby's imitations can be considered as speech _____.
A. is important because words have different meanings for different people
B. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
C. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
D. is one that should be completely ignored (忽略) because children's use of words is often meaningless
5.The author implies _____.
A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating
C. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
D. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly

In the dining room of my grandfather's house stood a giant grandfather clock．Meals in that dining room were a time for four generations to become one．The table was always spread with food containing love as the main ingredient．And that grandfather clock stood like an old family friend, watching over the laughter that was a part of our lives.
As a child, the old clock fascinated me．I watched and listened to it during meals．Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather's routine．He wound (上发条) that clock with a special key carefully each day．That key was magic to me．It kept our family's magnificent clock ticking and chiming．I remember watching as my grandfather took the key from his pocket and opened the hidden door in the clock．He inserted the key and wound — not too much, nor too little．He never let that clock wind down and stop．He showed us grandchildren how to open the door and let us each take turns winding the key．I remember the first time I did it I was so excited to be part of this family routine．

I stood, lost in the moment for a long time．Then slowly and carefully I inserted the key and wound the clock．It came back to life．Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my heart．In the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather lived again.
