一、动词

Ifailtounderstandyourmeaning.

我没有理解你的意思。

二、名词

没有电时，机器如何运转？三、副词Slowlyhepulledtheletteroutoftheenvelope,andunfoldedit.他不慌不忙地将信从信封中抽出来打开。四、介词或介词短语Itwasbeyondhispowertosignsuchacontract.他无权签这样一份合同。五、连词Youcannotsucceedunlessyouworkhard.你不努力是不会成功的。Isearlychildhoodeducationreallynecessary?Researchhasshownthatmuchofwhatyouneedtosucceedinlifeisestablishedbeforeyouenterkindergarten.Duringthattime,thehumanbrainundergoesrapiddevelopment;it’saperiodwhenachildbuildscognitiveskills—thefoundationforreading,math,scienceandacademics—aswellascharacter,social-emotionalgrowthandexecutivefunctioning,whichincludeseverythingfromimpulsecontroltoproblemsolving.1EarlyChildhoodEducationEarlychildhoodeducationprimarilyfocusesonlearningthroughplayingtorealizethechild’sphysical,sensory,communicationalandsocialdevelopment.IthasbecomeaconcernoftheAmericangovernment,whichpushespoorchildrentobeformallytrainedbeforetheyareoldenoughforkindergarten.2Aboutfortyyearsago,onlyfivepercentofAmericanchildrenwhowerethreeorfouryearsoldattendedearlyeducationprograms.Today,abouttwo-thirdsofthechildrenofthatagegotopreschool,nurseryschoolordaycarecenterswitheducationalprograms.Manyeducationexpertssaythisisagoodsituation.Theysayyoungchildrenwhohavesomekindofpreschooleducationdomuchbetterwhentheyattendschool.Youngchildreninpreschoolprogramslearncolorsandnumbers.Theyidentifycommonobjectsandlettersofthealphabettopreparethemforreading.Theysingandplaygamesthatusenumbersandmaps.Theylearntocooperatewithteachersandotherchildren.Manypreschoolprogramsincludeactivitiestohelpyoungchildrenlearnabouttheworldaroundthem.Forexample,childrenvisitplaceslikezoos,museumsandfireandpolicestations.3Afterpreschool,mostAmericanchildrenattendkindergarteninpublicschools.Mostchildrenstartkindergartenataboutagefive.Tohelppoorfamilies,thegovernmentoperatesaneducationprogramforyoungchildrencalled“HeadStart”.Therearegoodreasonsforthegovernmenttopushearlychildhoodeducation．Studieshaveshownthatorphanedchildrenwhodidnotreceivegoodcareandeducationbecomedevelopmentallydelayedcausingfailureinschool,andeveninlife.FurtherstudiesshowthatpoorchildrenwhotakepartinHeadStartprogramaremorepreparedforschool,lesslikelytoendupinSpecialEducationclasses,andarelesslikelytoreceivepublichelporgotoprison.4Therearealsonegativepartsinputtingachildinformaleducationprogramstooearly.“TheTimes”onlineexplainsthat“theyoungerthechild,thelesshisorherchancesofcatchingupwithfirst-gradework.”IhavepersonallywitnessedmanychildrenofmygenerationwhowenttoHeadStartprogrambecomefrustratedandboredwithschoolbeforetheyfinishedhighschool.Yetparentshavebeensurethattheearlierthechildstartsschool,thebetteroffheorsheis,sotheypushtostartchildrenearlier.5Actuallywhileearlyformaleducationofpoorchildrendoesshowgreatgainsintheearlyelementaryyears,studiesalsoshowthatthisheadstartisreallya“falsestart”,asthegainsarelostinmiddleandhighschoolyears.Itseemsthatfamilyenvironmentisabiggerfactoronlife’ssuccessthanearlyeducation.HeadStartprogramhasnotachieveditsoriginalgoalinclosingtheachievementgapinpoorandmiddleschoolchildren.Perhapsitistimetofindotherwaystoclosethatgap.6executive[ɪgˈzekjətɪv]a.elatingtothejobofmanagingabusinessor

[译文]早期儿童教育已经成为美国政府关注的问题，在贫困的儿童还未达到上幼儿园的年龄前，政府就已经让他们接受了正式的培训。

[提示]which引导定语从句，修饰先行词American。NotesStudieshaveshownthatorphanedchildrenwhodidnotreceivegoodcareandeducationbecomedevelopmentallydelayedcausingfailureinschool,andeveninlife.(Para.4)

[译文]研究表明，没有受到良好照顾和教育的孤儿发育迟缓，在学校甚至生活中表现失败。

[提示]causingfailureinschool,andeveninlife是现在分词短语做结果状语。现在分词短语在句中做结果状语时，通常位于句末，中间可以用逗号隔开，也可以不用。有时为了加强语气，还可以在分词前加thus。...aremorepreparedforschool,lesslikelytoendupinSpecialEducationclasses,andarelesslikelytoreceivepublichelporgotoprison.(Para.4)

[提示]此句中and连接三个并列的表示比较的结构。NotesYetparentshavebeensurethattheearlierthechildstartsschool,thebetteroffheorsheis,sotheypushtostartchildrenearlier.(Para.5)

[译文]然而，家长们一直相信，孩子越早开始上学越好，因此他们会迫使孩子更早地开始上学。

[提示]“the+比较级，the+比较级”意为“越……越……”，表示一方的程度随着另一方的变化而变化。在通常情况下，前一个“the+比较级”相当于状语从句，后一个“the+比较级”为主句，从句不可用将来时。例如：

ThemoreIreadthebook，themoreIlikedit．
