Bedtime stories are one of the delights of early childhood. But according to Dr. Julie Spreadbury from Queensland University, parents should not 48 up reading to their children 49 they enter primary school. She says listening to, reading and discussing the stories help children's development. “My research indicates that once children can read by 50 , most parents stop reading to 51 , Dr. Spreadbury says. “ 52 may be at the end of year 1,which is far too 53 . Dr. Spreadbury says that reading not only gives children a good start at school, 54 brings parents and children closer. “This makes it 55 for them to open up and talk to parents about things that worrying them, or things they are celebrating in their everyday life. PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the answer that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A Take an any long piece of paper. Now glue the ends of the paper together. You have made a ring. Take a second long piece of paper. Twist the paper once and glue the ends together. Now you have made a Moby’s band. For people studying maths, this band is uncommon. This strange band was first made in the 1800s by a German named August Moby’s. Mr. Moby’s studied maths. He wanted to find a way to show how this band works with maths. Believe it or not, this band has only one surface. You can find this out for yourself. If you draw a line on the surface of the paper before you twist and glue it, the line is only on one side of the paper. The paper has two surfaces. However, if you draw a line after you make the Moby’s band, you can follow the line around all sides of the paper. In other words, the Moby’s band must have only one surface. It is also very interesting to see what happens when you cut the band. If you cut the Moby’s band in half once down the line you drew, you do not get two Moby’s bands. Instead, after you cut the band, it turns into one large twisted ring. Then, if you cut this ring in half along the middle of the band again, you get two connected Moby’s bands. Try it!
