题目内容

Language learning begins with listening.Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking,and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will“obey”spoken instructions some time before they can speak,though the word“obey”is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child.Before they can speak,many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.

Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties.It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight,pain,friendliness,and so on.But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate,they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language.It is agreed,too,that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment,and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store.This selfimitation(模仿) leads on to deliberate(有意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people.The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.

It is a problem we need to get out teeth into.The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world.Thus the use at seven months of“mama”as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father,his dog,or anything else he likes.Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself,I doubt,however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.

Before children start speaking         .

  A.they need equal amount of listening

  B.they need different amounts of listening

  C.they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions

  D.they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions

Children who start speaking late         .

  A.may have problems with their listening

  B.probably do not hear enough language spoken around them

  C.usually pay close attention to what they hear

  D.often take a long time in learning to listen properly

The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech         .

  A.is important because words have different meanings for different people

  B.is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually

  C.is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age

  D.is one that should be completely ignored(忽略) because children’s use of words is often meaningless

The speaker wants to tell us that         .

  A.parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds

  B.children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak

  C. even after they have learnt to speak,children still enjoy imitating

  D. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly

When you are at odds with someone close to you,the One-Minute Drill can show you how to express your feelings effectively-and how to listen more skillfully.All it requires is two individuals who are committed to improving their relationship.

    Set aside at least ten minutes,and then sit facing each other.Decide who will be the Talker and who will be the Lastener.It makes no difference,because later you will change roles.

    How to perform the One-Minute Drill

    For approximately 30 seconds,the Talker can say anything he or she wants.Your job will be to express your thoughts and feelings.You can discuss problems you’ve had a hard time talking about.Remember to limit yourself to about 30 seconds.When the Talker finishes,the Listener will summarize what the Talker just said,as well as how the Talker was feeling inside,as accurately as possible.

   The Talker now gives the Listener a grade between 0 and 100 percent to indicate how accurate the summary was.If the rating is 95 percent or more,you can change roles;the new Talker can continue with the same topic or move on to something entirely new.

However,if the grade is below 95 percent,the Talker should point out what the Listener missed or got wrong,and repeat the process until the overall rating is 95 percent or more.Then you can change roles and repeat the exercise for as long as you both like.

    How it works

Thirty seconds of emotionally charged information is sufficiently challenging for anyone.Express your feelings in strong,clear,direct language,but as your partner will be listening attentively,you won’t need to shout,exaggerate or put your partner down.

The Listener should sit and listen respectfully without interrupting.Look into your partner’s eyes,but avoid using negative body language. If you like,take a few notes.

    So the Talker might say:“When I come home from work, I feel tired and I need some quiet time.But you tell me I’m supposed to spend time with the kids.This makes me feel frustrated.I work hard and I’m exhausted at the end of the day.I feel like I deserve a little time to relax,not listen to more demands.”

    In response,the Listener might summarize like this:“You just told me that you feel exhausted when you come home at night because you’ve been working hard all day.When l tell you l want you to spend time with the kids,you feel frustrated and ticked off because you’re tired and you need time to relax.You see me as very demanding,and you’re probably feeling like I don’t appreciate you.”

    The first time you attempt the One-Minute Drill,you may get a low score.Don’t worry,because you’ll get up to speed quickly.Once you’ve tried this exercise a few times,you’ll find that you can nearly always get ratings of 95 percent or better on the first or second try.

1.Who is the One-Minute Drill intended for?

    A.Those who are preparing for the interview in order to make a good first impression.

    B.Those who have difficulty communicating with their colleagues or family members.

    C.Those who have troubled relationships with their friends or family members and try to improve them.

    D.Those who are to act some roles in a certain play for the first time in their life.

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

    A.The Talker should talk about his/her thoughts and feelings in a brief way.

    B.The Listener should listen carefully,respectfully and later summarize accurately.

    C.After the Talker finishes talking,the Listener is to give him/her a grade.

    D.In the One-Minute Drill,the Talker and the Listener change roles in the process.

3.From the example given in“How it works”,we can guess that the talk might be between      

   A.father and son                   B.mother and daughter

   C.sister and brother                                 D.husband and wife

4.What does the underlined part“ticked off”probably mean in this reading?

    A.very angry                       B.burst into tears    

    C.marked with a symbol     D.fast asleep
