29、ys, but had not yet developed his skill at tragedy.The power of fate is strong in Shakespeares play. Chance and evil eventually join to bring tragedy.

30、ethans were followers of astrology (星相术) and believed that the stars could control events.

36、d withdrawn and lonely.1. Help your child communicate. Naturally outgoing kids have an easier time expressing their interest in other children than shy ones do.

37、s interest in other people: “You were so nice to let Roger talk about his little dog. I am proud of you.“2. Keep play short and sweet.

43、rack of things that have happened in the past. Memory really is learning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to come when called.Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a “memory trace (记忆痕) “. What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that

44、certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark.Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works.

45、ist. Let the person memorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers.

46、r to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot recall.

Interest is very important. Boring lis

48、ts of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.（分数：12.00）(1).We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that _.（分数：3.00）A.ba
