11、s on asthma for schoolsof asthmaB1 Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there's no need fora lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children 's curiosity. Firstly,

12、listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me“textbook questions ” about schooling, salary and whether I liked myjob. WhenI finished answering, wesat facing one another in silence. Finally I said,“Now that we 're fi

13、nished with your lists, do you havequestions of your own about science? ”2 After a long pause, a boy raised his hand,“Have you ever seen agrasshopper （ 蚱蜢 ） eating? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”3 This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.4 Secondly,

14、give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time ” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and crea

15、tive answers.5 Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don 't jump in with “That ' s right ” or “Very good” These words work well when it comesto encouraging good behavior （行为）. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussio

16、ns is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting ” or “I'd never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.6 Never push a child to “Think ”. It doesn 't' make sense, childrenare always thinking, without your telling them to. What&#

17、39;s more, this canturn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target （目标） for your disagreement.7 Lastly, show; don 't tell. Real -life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any le

18、sson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass （放大镜）, and they 'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates （蒸发）, set a pot of water to boiland let them watch the wa

They have a beginning, a middle,and an end with commercials （ 商业广告 ） thrown in every three o

24、f four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple or minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window.“ BuySuper Clean Toothpaste. ” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up withPacific Gas. ” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the tele

25、vision set off, are you spared the unending cry of“You Need It! Buy It Now! ”The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even ifyou' ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have cha nged- newhouses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style

26、of driving and it ' s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring, the ride can be asthrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver moveinto the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of cou

27、rse, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you' ve gotto be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much saltyfood can make youvery thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhatlike the

28、beginning. You know it will soon be over and there 's a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you' ve satwith your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrest or even with your hands c

Most childre n will“obey” spoken instructions sometime before they can speak, though the word“obey” is hard

34、ly accurate as a description of the eager and delightedcooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, manychildren will also ask questio ns by gesture and by making questi oning no ises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads

35、 to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making no ises, and that duri ng the first few mon ths one or two no ises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, frien dli ness, and so on. But since these can ' t be said to show the baby ' s intention to comm

It is agreed, too, that from about three mon ths they play with sounds for enjoyme nt, and that by six mon ths they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitatio n （模仿）leads on to deliberate （ 有意的）imitatio n of soundsmad

The problem the n arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitati ons can be con sidered as speech.It is a problem wen eed to get our teeth in to.

Thus the use, at seve n mon ths,of “ mama as a greet ingfor his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes.Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues afterthe child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds
