10．How to deal successfully with a child showing outstanding musical ability？It's not always clear how best to develop and encourage his gift．Many parents may even fail to recognize and respond to their children's need until discouragement explodes into uncooperative behavior．And while most schools are equipped to deal with children who are especially able in academic subjects，the musically gifted require special understanding which may not always be available in an ordinary school．Such children may well benefit from the education offered by a specialist music school．
The five music schools in Britain aim to provide an environment where gifted children can develop their skills under the guidance of professional musicians．Children here spend about half of a day on musical activities，for example，individual lessons，orchestras，chamber（室内音乐的）groups，voice training，conducting and theory．They also spend several hours a day practicing in private rooms．The rest of their time is taken up with the subjects：English，maths and basic sciences．
What are the disadvantages？An obvious problem is that the fees are high．However，each school will offer scholarships and other forms of financial aid．Secondly，not all parents want to send their children to boarding school，especially at an early age．Almost all the directors of the specialist schools express doubts about the wisdom of admitting children as young as seven into such a tense and disciplined （守纪律的） environment．They stress，however，that their main aim is to help the students to become those who are excellent in all aspects．

61．If a child's musical ability is not recognized，A．

14．No one knows for sure when advertising first started．It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them．That led to the concept of specialization，which means that people would specialize，or focus，on doing one specific job．
Let's take a man we'll call Mr．Fielder，for example．He did everything connected with farming．He planted seeds，tended the fields，and harvested and sold his crops．At the same time，he did many other jobs on the farm．However，he didn't make the bricks for his house，cut his trees into boards，make the plows （犁），or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs．Instead，he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things．
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr．Plowright．Using what he knew about farming and working with iron，Mr．Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier．Mr．Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows．Perhaps，he thought，other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows．
How did Mr．Plowright let people know what he was doing？Why，he advertised，of course．First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers．That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door．It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr．Plowright and his really good plows．
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago．Even before most people could read，they understood such signs．Shopkeepers would carve into stone，clay，or wood symbols for the products they had for sale．
A medium，in advertising talk，is the way you communicate your message．You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols．The second medium was audio，or sound，although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today．Originally，just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument，such as a bell，were used to get people's attention．
A crier，in the historical sense，is not someone who weeps easily．It is someone，probably a man，with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city．In ancient Egypt，shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products．Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods．Perhaps the crier described the goods，explained where they came from，and praised their quality．His job was，in other words，not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today's world．（478words）

11．How do you pay for your coffee？Is it with change？I use my tap-and-go card．I don't even need to enter my PIN number or a signature to authorize payment．It's quicker and everybody in the queue is happy．
Contactless payments are gaining popularity．Those concerned about security will be pleased to know that the amount of money you can spend in one go is limited-in the UK it's currently£30．But if the card is used a few times in a row，a PIN number will be needed．If a thief gets hold of your card and goes on a spending spree（狂欢），your bank covers you against fraud（诈骗）．Whereas，if someone steals your banknotes，that's your bad luck!
For those who are always forgetting where they put their cards，there's a new solution：wearable tech：clothing and accessories that have integrated electronic technology．Kenneth Cukier，an economist and technology expert，says，"You can simply take any wireless card and the chip from it that your bank might issue you with，and you can put it in a coat．When you want to make a payment just wave your arm in front of the terminal and leave the coffee shop with your latte．This is intended for people who don't want to take their card out of their wallet，use their phone or their watch．"
Good，isn't it？And new ways of spending money are not stopping there．The future is all about biometrics．Very convenient if you are at the beach or a festival-there's a new system in development which will make it possible to read the unique maps of veins under the surface of your finger，and use them to authenticate payments-or prove that it's you making the payments．You just need to remember which finger you registered with．
So spending money is becoming easier all the time．And the temptation to buy more stuff increases．But it's worth bearing in mind that earning the money in the first place will still require the same effort．Back to work then!
