2、e Answer Sheet.0 Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past. There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people read only the sports pages, the advice or gossip columns, the comics , and perhaps the classified advertisements. Most people don

3、 t take the time to read the real news. Newspaper editors say that their readers are lazy. They say they have to trick people into reading the news. They attempt to catch the reader s interest with pictures and exciting headlines . These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first

4、thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headlines that make you stop and look. If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough

5、 or wild enough, perhaps you will go on to read the rest of the story. Just the same, there are a lot of people who do not even read the front page anymore. They may read the headlines, but that is all. Then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It seems that people do not want

6、 the news from a newspaper anymore. They say they get the news on the television now.More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper.

It is surprising but true. How

10、 parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child s language skills increase.A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the chil

11、dren participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control 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 th

12、e doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the 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 measure

13、s of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5. 5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary.

18、vely（D）children who read actively seem six months older10 As you are students of English, it s very possible that you 11 be interested in England. Thats where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these nam

19、es mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the namesEngland, Britain or Great Britain. Lets see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, you 11 see a group of islandsone larger island off the northwest coast, o

20、ne smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.Britain is divided into three parts; Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England“ is used

21、 instead of “Britain“. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the

22、English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “ the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland“. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth o

23、f the island or Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England“, “Britain“, “Great Britain“, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland“. Now do you know what each of them means?11 English was first spoken

24、in _.（A）Britain（B） England（C） Great Britain（D）Ireland12 Britain is divided into_.（A）England, Britain, and Wales（B） England, Scotland, and Wales（C） Wales, Scotland, and Great Britain（D）Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland13 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?（A）Wales is

26、fficial name of the whole country（D）the largest country of all mentioned in the passage15 Which of the following is an independent country?（A）Wales（B） Scotland（C） Northern Ireland（D）The Republic of Ireland15 Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices a

27、nd for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we dont like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the

28、center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes

29、were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husban

30、d and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!“ I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions.
