For instance, animals cries do not _69_ thoughts and feelings clearly. This means, basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that _70_ us to divide a human utterance into _71_.We can change an utterance by _72_ one word in it with _73_: a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching from the north“, _74_ who can change one word and say aircraft approaching from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, _75_ means “danger!”This is why the number of _76_ that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit (山雀) is a case _77_ point; it has about twenty different calls, _78_ in human language the number of possible utterances is _79_.

One morning you wave goodbye, and that _71_ evening youre burning the late-night oil in sympathy. In the race to improve educational standards, _72_ are throwing the books at kids. _73_ elementary school students are complaining of homework _74_. Whats a well-meaning parent to do? As hard as _75_ may be, sit back and chill experts advise. Though youve got to get them to do it, _76_ helping too much, or even examining _77_ too carefully, you may keep them _78_ doing it by themselves. “I wouldnt advise a parent to check every _79_ assignment,” says psychologist John Rosemond, author of Ending the Tough Homework.

Thats not to say parents should _84_ homework - first, they should monitor how much homework their kids _85_. Thirty minutes a day in the early elementary years and an hour in _86_ four, five, and six is standard, says Rosemond. For junior-high students it should be “_87_ more than a hour and a half,” and two for high school students. If your child _88_ has more homework than this, you may want to check _89_ other parents and then talk to the teacher about _90_ assignments. 71. A. very B. exact C. right D. usual72.
