We feel it important to start reading to your child right from the start –the younger the better! With little ones(children from birth to 4)it is very important to read and reread books．Starting early makes the job of the listener(for you will be teaching your child how to listen) easier，as it helps to develop an early love of the written and spoken word．

We believe that you should read aloud to your child at least once every day ．Set a special reading time during the day or evening when you can settle down（安静下来） and enjoy a book，without interruption．For most families，reading aloud at bedtime is a common practice．

We understand that it can be quite discouraging to read to a child who takes no interest ．Take heart! Learning to listen takes experience ．The more you read ，the more your child will learn to sit for a story ．Children have a natural development of responses(反应)to your reading ．By the time your child reaches6-7 months，she/he is attracted by the book in your hand ，and would like to test it out by using it as a chew(咀嚼)toy．This is natural! By one year，your child is learning to listen and talk about the pages，often shouting out things she/he recognizes．Encourage this! And at the onset (起始)of walking ，you have your biggest challenge yet．your child　 is always on the go．you need to set your reading time for a time in the day when your child is preparing to settle down．This means bedtime．Remember，it is your right and duty to teach your child about the power of books．Of course ，it doesn’t happen overnight，but the returns are great!

1.Who does “the listener” in the first paragraph refer to?

A．The writer　　　　　　　 B．The parent

C．The child　　　　　　　　 D．The teacher

2.The best time of the day to read stories to a child is ______．

A．when the child is still active in the early evening

B．when the parents finish the day’s housework

What are you feeling right now as you start to read this? Are you curious? Hoping that you’ll learn something about yourself? Bored because this is something you have to do for school and you’re not really into it — or happy because it’s a school project you enjoy? Perhaps you’re attracted by something else, like feeling excited about your weekend plans or sad because you just went through a breakup.

Emotions like these are part of human nature. They give us information about what we’re experiencing and help us know how to react. We sense our emotions from the time we’re babies. Young children react to their emotions with facial expressions or with actions like laughing or crying. They feel and show emotions, but they don’t yet have the ability to name the emotion or say why they feel that way.

As we grow up, we become more skilled in understanding emotions. Instead of just reacting like little kids do, we can identify（定义） what we feel and put it into words. With time and practice, we get better at knowing what we are feeling and why. This skill is called emotional awareness.

Emotional awareness helps us know what we need and want, or don’t want! It helps us build better relationships. That’s because being aware of our emotions can help us talk about feelings more clearly, avoid or settle conflicts（冲突） better, and move past difficult feelings more easily.

Some people are naturally more in touch with their emotions than others. The good news is that everyone can be more aware of their emotions. It just takes practice. But it’s worth the effort.

Emotional awareness is the first step toward building emotional intelligence, a skill that can help people succeed in life.

1. How do young children react to emotions?

A. With laughter and shouts.

B. With signs and expressions.

C. With facial expressions and actions.

D. With gestures of different kinds.

2. From the passage we know that emotional awareness actually _________.

A. enables us to live in society more easily

B. lets people understand others better

C. brings about conflicts between people

D. smooths away difficulties in our life

3.Where is the passage probably taken from?

A. A science fiction.　　　 B. An advertisement.

C. A science magazine.　　　 D. A television show.

When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently (屡次地) asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike (同样的), and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies (错综复杂的事物) of reading letters to form words.

If a three-year-old child wants to read (or even a two-year-old child for that matter), the child has the right (权利) to be given every encouragement (鼓励). The fact that he might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers (非读者) at child school is the teacher’s affair (事情). It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced (高级的) reading material.

Similarly, the 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 诵读困难的).

Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters (儿童) aged two to five 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 (识别) of letters by labeling (标识) various items in the their rooms. For instance (比如), tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat (整齐的), big letters.

Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable (足以胜任的) of doing so, such an attraction (吸引) should not be ignored (对……不予理会). 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 (变弱).

1 This passage is mainly about ____ .

A. what qualities people teaching children reading should have

B. difference age groupings of children to be taught reading

C. when and how children should be taught reading

D. various problems of children who start learning to reading

2 In the writer’s opinion, children start learning to read ____ .

A. early and fast       B. at different time C. by a certain rule  D. from word games

3 A three-year-old child who wants to read should ____ .

A. be encouraged    B. go to an infant school

C. start from fun stories D. join a class of non-readers

4The purpose of labeling items in the room is to ____ .

A. make it more colorful

B. teach children to write neatly

C. help children recognize simple letters

D. force children to develop the habit of

5 The writer suggest that ____ .

A. children should ask their parents to teach them to read

B. children should not feel bored if given advanced reading material

C. children starting to read should ask specialists for help

D. children should be taught with patience , care and a sense of humor

Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools．But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake．Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective．The staying power of the “look-say” or “whole-word” method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively．

The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words．It fits in with the self-directed, “learning how to learn” activities recommended by advocates of “open” classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading．Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these “Run-Spot-Run” readers．

However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called “the great debate”  in beginning reading．In his best-seller Why Johnny Can’t Read, Flesch indicted（控诉）the nation’s public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method．He said – and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed – that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics, is far superior．

Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words．Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned．Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step．

1.The author indicts the look-say reading approach because ________．

A．it overlooks decoding

B．Rudolf Flesch agrees with him

C．he says it is boring

D．many schools continue to use this method

2.One major difference between the look-say method of learning reading and the phonics method is _________．

A．look-say is simpler

B．Phonics takes longer to learn

C．look-say is easier to teach

D．phonics gives readers access to far more words

3.The phrase “touch-off” （Para 3, Line 1） most probably means _________．

A．talk about shortly                                     B．start or cause

C．compare with                                             D．oppose

Shaping a child is like shaping clay（粘土）— you have to start from the beginning and work your way to the end with extreme caution but with gentle and loving 16.

How to prepare for exams?

Here are some tips you can read with your child.

The first step in preparing for examinations is to set a fixed time each day to study and a schedule to say when to start the revision and for which subject.

Parents who do not know the examination schedule can search “exam timetable” to see the official examination schedule.

4.. For lessons, pupils must participate in lessons and discussions actively. For exercise, work on the simple ones in the textbook. For theory, pupils can use the mind map method to summarize the facts.

At last, be smart. Focus on chapters that are the core of the subject or difficult chapters.5..

A. Next the most effective way to revise is to use an active approach.

高一英语七选五中等难度题查看答案及解析

After I made it to the city center, I started to feel it might be easy for a foreigner to deal with the great size of Beijing. With growing confidence, I decided to take the subway to the hotel, not realizing that the network didn’t go that far. Impressed with the cleanliness of the station, I bought a ticket and boarded the first train that came along.

After a few minutes I asked in English of course a young man seated next to me where I should get off closest to the Friendship Hotel. Wearing a smart business suit and tie, he would surely speak English, wouldn’t he? Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand me but seemed very friendly. I showed him the room card with all the information of the Friendship Hotel in Chinese characters. He looked at it, and then his eyes moved quickly to the carriage （车厢） subway map. Next, he raised three fingers of his right hand.

In Australia, raising fingers at someone is not usually nice, but this man wasn’t smiling. At the next station he showed me two fingers. Now in Australia, that’s really rude, but I got the message. When we stopped at the third station, he didn’t just point to the door, but got up, took me out of the train, and led me to the top of the stairs, and out onto the street. Then he stopped a taxi and told the driver where to take me.

All this came from a man who couldn’t speak my language, and I couldn’t speak his. I was now speechless, especially when he refused my offer of money. I felt a little embarrassed having even thought he would accept a tip.

This experience made it clear I had to learn some Chinese quickly or my adventures might start turning into bad luck.

1.The author decided to take the subway because ________.

A．he lived near the city center

B．the network covered most of the stops

C．he believed in his ability to deal with the trip

D．he had a good impression of its cleanliness

2.Having been shown the room card, the young man_________.

A．understood the author well

B．still remained puzzled

C．answered the author directly

D．pointed at the subway map

3.Which of the following can’t be used to describe the young man?

A．helpful　　　　 　 B．rude

C．warmhearted　　 D．caring

A．prove the importance of being careful

B．appreciate the kindness of the young man
