7.It's the customary bedtime practice every parent would feel fearful----being asked to read the same book for many times.But while the (41)C repetition might be boring for mum or dad,it is the best way for toddlers to learn new words,according to research.
The findings suggest parents are wasting money by spending a fortune on huge book collections in the hope they will inspire their little ones.Instead,a small selection of favourites such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar or The Gruffalo will(42)E far more.
Dr Jessica Horst,of the University of Sussex's WORD Lab devised an experiment to check how quickly three-year-olds could recognize and(43)B six new words.The children were visited three times in a week.One group heard the same story three times back-to-back each time and another was read three (44)F stories.All had the same amount of new words which appeared the same (45)A of times.
When researchers returned a week later,they found the children who heard the same story over and over had(46)Klearned 3.6of the new words.While those(47)G to a variety of stories remembered only 2.6.They also noted the‘repetition'group learned at a faster rate than those in the‘(48)J'group.
Dr Horst said:‘We are showing that less is more,to a point.And,(49)H,the more times you read to a child and the more books you have will help them.But you don't need to go crazy and buy every single Thomas the Tank Engine book.Reading the same books over and over again helps.'
Speaking of the(50)I studies,we have found one in three don't read to their children before putting them to bed.Yet 30minutes of one-on-one literacy sessions can improve reading age by nearly two years in less than five months.

To sit at the table on a sunny morning,with four clear hours of uninterruptible(45)A plenty of nice white paper and a pen is true happiness.With the complete absorption of the mind upon a(n)(46)I occupation,what more is there than that to desire?What does it matter what happens outside?The House of Commons may do what it likes,and so may the House of Lords.The bottom may be(47)J clean out of the American market.The heathen (异教徒) may show(48)E anger in every part of the globe.Never mind,for four hours,at any rate,we will(49)H ourselves from a common,ill-governed,and (50)F world.

Since they were forced to (52)C one of the biggest frauds (欺诈行为) in auto industry history last month,the executives at Volkswagen have offered (53)B and promised to fix the cheating devices wired into eleven millions of their diesel cars (柴油车).But they haven't explained who ordered,(54)A and designed the software that enabled the cars to cheat on emissions tests while emitting (55)D on the road.Nor has Volkswagen said how and when it plans to fix the cars,which many customers bought in the belief that they were fuel (56)B and clean.
On October 8,German prosecutors (检察官) broke into the corporate offices as part of their investigation.Meanwhile,Matthias Muller,the (57)D appointed chief executive,continued to insist that the former executive,Martin Winterkorn,who resigned shortly after the scandal,knew (58)C."Do you really think that a chief executive had time for the inner functioning of engine software?"he said in a recent interview,as if the problem was some
(59)A shortcoming and not an elaborate effort to (60)D regulators and customers around the world.
If Mr.Winterkorn was not responsible,who was?Nobody believes that the handful of senior managers could have (61)C this scheme without any support.Hans-Dieter Potsch,a supervisory board chairman,issued a statement earlier this month,saying it would take time before Volkswagen could make (62)B the findings of its internal investigations."We must overcome the crisis,"he explained,"but we must also ensure that Volkswagen continues to grow."That seems to miss the point that Volkswagen will neither overcome the crisis nor grow unless it can instantly produce some (63)A answers and explanations.
Even if they manage to fix millions of cars,Volkswagen executives will still face an enormous (64)D from lawsuits,lost sales and the (65)B to Volkswagen's reputation.There is no device to block the angry and urgent questions that they face.Apologizing is just the easy part.
