7、t bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. “In Europe,“
8、said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of their land, labor being sufficient; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant“. It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth century agricultural machinery first came. At the opening of the century,
9、with the exception of a crude (粗糙的) plow, farmers Could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs. By 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1890 Charl
10、es Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would have none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the

It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the childrens lang
16、uage development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the childs language skills increase.A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the contr
17、ol group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing? “ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the
18、 experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers.At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the e

Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of drop
25、ping out (退学). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. “When children work on a project, “ says Lillian Kate, an educational professor at the
26、University of Illinois, “they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions. These skills cant be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but dont have any social skills. Relationships should be the first R. “At a certain ag
27、e, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world. Just as a 1-year-old struggles to walk, a 6-year-old is struggling to meet adults expectations. “Young k
28、ids dont know how to distinguish between effort and ability. “ says Professor Tynette Hills, an early-childhood educator for the state of New Jersey, “If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task.
