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. dont forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. dont 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 childs 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 theres a chance youll 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 theyre 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 booksb. choose books based on their interestc. choose the easiest books for them to readd. always read books together with them 51. which of the following is not what parents

towards children playing computer games? a. supportive. b. negative. c. neutral. d. doubtful.53. the main idea of the passage is to _. a. help children succeed in school subjectsb. give parents advice on how to educate childrenc. remind parents of the importance of reading d. teach parents how to encourage children to read参考答案-50-53 babd *结束(4) chengdu new towns are rising rapidly in the

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 manwhen 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 allgarment color also plays a role, though in a different wayin the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by maasai menrather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothingthe researchers believe that the elephants emotional reactions are due to their
