They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that, in an average day, children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult-child conversations a day.Assessed separately, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 words increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children.When looked at alone, TV was negatively associated with language development.But, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is,”Zimmerman said.“Although its mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. Theyll also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what theyre doing,such as,Im putting on your pajamas now. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment,” she added.“If parents can carve out some conversation time-maybe at bath time or at dinner time-thats a wonderful thing.”1.The researchers also found that TV viewing_.A.could have a positive effect on a childs language developmentB.had a little effect on a childs language developmentC.affected a childs language development more negatively than positivelyD.affected a childs language development both negatively and positively2.Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that_.A.parents should let their children talk most of the timeB.children should watch TV programs selectivelyC.the conversation between parents and children should be two-wayD.its no good for parents to correct their childrens mistakes when they are speaking3.We can conclude from the last paragraph that_.A.parents should let a child repeat what he or she saysB.bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a childC.parent-child conversation can be carried out at any proper timeD.parents should leave a child talking alone4.The underlined word “tailor” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by_.A.control B.improveC.pass D.adjust5.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Talk with kids, not at themB.Let your children voice their own opinionsC.How to develop a childs language abilityD.The importance of early child language developmentMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously team work. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.6.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Differences between Golf and MountaineeringB.Sports and GamesC.MountaineeringD.Why are crazy about mountaineering7.The mountaineering can also be called a team sport because_ .A.mountain climbers usually compete in groupsB.mountaineers depend on each other while climbingC.mountaineering climbers are free to use their won rules to climbD.mountaineering is a sport not a game8.The biggest difference between golf and mountaineering lies in_.A.team game B.enjoymentC.age D.rules9.In the authors opinion, one of the most important reasons why so many people enjoy mountaineering is that_.A.there are no man-made rules for mountaineersB.mountaineering is a sport and not a gameC.it is one of the most dangerous sportsD.mountaineering brings us more enjoyment than other sports.语法填空阅读下列材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。The story tells of a woman who during the war went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert.
