Both men were very old and badly ill, and they spent 24 hours a day in bed in the room.Unluckily, one of the old men had his bed by the window, and every day he spent hours telling his friend far from the window what he could see through the window.

Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or modern labs. You only have to share your childrens interests.Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-old children to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling , the money I got and whether I liked my job or not. When I finished answering them, I said, “Now that weve finished your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”A boy put up his hand, “Have you ever seen a rabbit eat? When I try eating grass like that, I get ill. Why?” This began lots of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly, give them time to think. Many teachers usually wait only one second or less for an answer, leaving no time for a child to think. If teachers increase their waiting time to three seconds or more, children will give better answers.Thirdly, watch your language. When then children are having a science discussion, dont cut in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These words work well when they are used encourage a child to help others, but in talking about science, these words make a child think that the discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying “Thats interesting” or “Ive never thought of it that way before,” or by coming up with more questions or ideas.Lastly, show but dont tell. Let children look at their hands through a microscope and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）66.
