12．When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502，he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings．So he thought the land must be rich in gold．He named the place Costa Rica，which means"rich coast"in Spanish．
Though little gold was found，Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas．Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported  to other countries like America and West Germany．Bananas are the country's second most important export．Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits，corn and beans for their own use．Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors．
Education is very important to the Costa Ricans．Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age．Boys and girls go to separate schools．Classes begin in March and end in November．The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans．

2．Interviews are difficult to secure for job seekers these days and knowing how to write a cover letter could mean the difference between securing one or being disregarded as a candidate．These letters represent the beginning of the interview process thus care should be taken when formulating one．Employers will consider cover letters as part of the vetting（审查） process when streamlining the applicant pool．The purpose of cover letters is to provide a summary of an applicant's background in relation to an advertised job position．
First of all，a cover letter should indicate knowledge of the position being applied to．In many cases，applicants will use the same letter when applying to multiple jobs．Employers will look at this"form"letter and conclude that the applicant is not really interested in their company．Applicants should provide a general summary of why they should be considered for an interview by stating qualifications and experience related to the job．This need not be long as a few lines can usually suffice．
It is important to note that proper structure，correct grammar and spelling are also taken into consideration．It shows the employer that you are serious about the interview process by taking the time and care to formulate the cover letter in a professional manner．This can be the difference between winning the interview or going into the discarded pile．
The basic structure is as follows.1．Address the proper hiring manager in the organization．If possible，try to be specific in naming the individual．If this isn't possible，a"Dear Sir"or"Dear Madame"is a perfectly respectful salutation to use.2．State briefly why your experience would be a good match to the job．You need not write a summary but a few sentences to show your interests and understanding of the job requirements and duties.3．Finish with a persuasive closing why you should be considered for the position．

Boys and girls!I'd like to share my swimming experience with you．My swimming experience is extreme interesting．There was a time when I swim like a rock．This went on till one day when I was fishing with a friend of mine at the pond．I slipped into it．Had my friend not come to my rescue，I would have drowned．Since then，I had come to know the important of learning to swim．I didn't attend at any training class but learned it all by myself．Strange to say，I have  no difficult swimming at all now．Though the way I swim looks awkward （笨拙的），at least it can keep me floating．Think of this，I feel quite satisfying．

7．In 1958，Jean Berko Gleason，an American psycholinguist，created an experiment called the Wug Test．It investigated how children learn to make plural forms of nouns in English like cats，dogs，and horses．The children were shown imaginary words in the singular and asked to change the word into their plural forms．There are three ways of pronouncing the"s"that comes after plural nouns in English； it can be pronounced like/z/，/s/，or/iz/．The most common sound is the/z/sound like in dogs，then the/s/sound like in cats，then the/iz/sound like horses．
In the experiment，the child was presented with a picture of some kind of pretendcreature．He or she was told that the creature was a"wug"．The experimenter said，"This is a wug．"Another card was pulled out with another wug，and the experimenter said，"Now there are two of them．These are two…？"Children who understood the proper use of plural form for nouns ending with a"g"would say，"They are two wugs，"with a/z/sound．Very young children were often confused by this and said"Two wug．"Generally，children who were 4 years or older got the question right．The researchers also carried out several other experiments to create plural forms ending with the/s/sound and with the/iz/sound and found that children usually learned these rules later in their lives because they are not as common as the/z/sound plurals．
The Wug Test also included questions that explored a child's understanding of the proper use of verbs and the suing of the possessive，such as"This is Rob's bike．"Possessives are parts of grammar that show ownership．Also，the children were prompted to use the"-er"suffix （后缀）of a noun to demonstrate a person's job，such as someone who drives is a"driver"．Again，the children were given a nonsense word，this time"zib"．The researcher asked the child，"A man who‘zibs'is a…？"Some young children replied"zibber"，but many young children replied"zibman"．
The Wug Test demonstrated that even very young children have established grammatical systems that allow them to make plurals，possessive，and other forms of words that they have never heard before．This test was the first of its kind to prove that children learn their language akills naturally without needing to be taught grammar rules．
