摘要： What conclusion is best supported by the passage? A. Parents should be trained to read to their children. B. The more children read, the cleverer they become. C. Children’s language skills increase when they are required to respond actively. D. Children who read actively act six months older. B We often hear people say, “I have a good memory for things like that or “I can remember names . But do you know memory is the single most important thing and it has played a very important part? For early men, there were dangerous all around them-bad weather, wild animals. The key to keep on living lay in man’s ability to remember these dangers and the ways he had dealt with them in the past. In order for memories to be stored, the human brain became more complex. And as man learned how to deal with them, he became civilized. Surprisingly, scientists today understand little about memory and how it works. They have not yet found a way to open up the brain and observe its function without destroying it. Perhaps there are two types of memory: short-term and long-term. Short-term refers to those facts that stay with us for a few seconds to a few hours. For instance, when you stay at a hotel, you remember the room number and forget as soon as you leave. Long-term memory, on the other hand, means you remember things for a long period of time. If you spend your honeymoon in a particular hotel, it’s likely that you’ll remember your stay quite clearly. Scientists also believe that a short-term memory can become a long-term memory through consolidation. A lot of chemical and physical changes take place in the part of the brain. Although the human brain weighs three pounds, it contains 30 billion nerve cells acting like a computer. When those changes strengthen the links in certain nerve cells, a thought becomes part of the long-term memory.

By taking a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly develop their children's language skills．It is surprising but true．How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children'’s language development．If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading．the child's language skills increase．

A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents．Half of the children took part in the experimental study；the other half acted as the control group．In the experimental group，the parents were given a two-hour training and they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions．For example，the parent should ask，“What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?” The patents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers，how to suggest different possibilities and how to praise correct answers．

At the beginning of the study，the children did not differ in measures of language development，but at the end of one month，the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of expression and vocabulary．Nine months later，the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group．
