      Mr. Ross finished speaking on the phone, and then looked carefully at my mother and me. For a few
seconds he didn't speak, and just watched us. Then he said, "I'm pleased to meet you, Mrs. Sanders. I need
some help with my work. My secretary is in hospital, and there's a lot of work to do. Sometimes you'll have
to work late at night, because of time difference in New York and Tokyo. Is that right?
     "Yes, that's all right," said my mother.
     "Can you use a computer?"
     "Yes."
     "Good." He looked at me. "Is that your daughter?"
     "Yes, this is Carol," said my mother. 
     "Hello." I said.
     "Greta says you like gardening. There's a big garden here, so you can help Mr. Duncan. And there's a
farm. Dan and Stella Parks live in the farmhouse and work on the farm. You can help them, too. We have
some animals, some sheep, a few cows and chickens. And there's a horse called Smoke. He's gray, like his
name. Can you ride?"
     "Yes," I said, "I can ride a horse."
     "You can ride Smoke around the island, if you like."
     "I'd like that," I said, "Thank you."
     "And we grow vegetables and fruit." he said, "I work on the farm sometimes. I enjoy it." 
     I smiled at him but he didn't smile back.
     "Carol will enjoy working on the farm," said my mother, "Won't you, Carol?"
     "Yes." I said.
     "Mr. Ross looks sad," I thought, "But how did he get all his money? And why does he hide away on a
British island?"

Children are natural scientists. They are interested in looking into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of expensive lab tools. You only have to share your children’s curiosity(好奇).

Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-old students to talk about working as a scientist. The children asked me questions about schooling and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another quietly. Finally I said, “Now that we’ve finished, do you have questions of your own about science?”

After a long pause, a boy put up his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚂蚱) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.

Secondly, give them time to think. Studies have shown that, after asking a question, adults usually wait only one second or less for an answer, do not leave time for children to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children can give more logical(合逻辑的), complete and creative answers.

Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child telling his idea in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right. ” or “Very good. ”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can mean that discussion is over. Instead, you can say “That’s interesting. ” or “I’d never thought of it that way before. ” or come up with more questions or ideas.

Never push a child to “Think”. Children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target(目标)for your disagreement.

Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life feeling of nature is far more exciting than any lesson children learn from a book. Let children look at their fingertips(指尖) through a magnifying lens(放大镜), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.

A. speak highly of the children.

(   )54. What does “this” refer to in the 6th paragraph?

A. Pushing children to think.

(   )55. These are the ways for adults to share children’s curiosity EXCEPT ________.
