Lilly tried to teach a six-year-old dolphin to speak English. Margaret Howe, an experiment (试验) helper, would live day and night with Peter, a dolphin. And they would eat, bathe, sleep and play together from Sunday to Friday, with only Saturdays off for Margaret. She lived her 1ife in swimming clothes -- with a coat on colder evenings --- and cut her hair short so that she could get on with Peter more easily.After a few days, Peter was becoming more and more interested in winning her attentions. He threw a ball against her shower towel to get her to play. As time went by, he only wanted to play ball with her and not on his own.The problem was that, just at the time Peter and Margaret began to get on welljust as two best friends, the experiment ended and the lab was closed.

Stories onlineC. Life in the southD. Life in China(C)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 setof 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.56. To help children enjoy science, the most important thing for teachers to do is ___________.A. tell them the difficult terms on scienceB. share their interestsC let them study in labs D. let them see the world around57. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the words “your lists”mean ____________.A. your answers to the questionsB. your own questions about scienceC. your questions from textbooksD. all the questions of your own58. According to the passage, the best way to get children’s better answer ____.A. ask them to answer quicklyB. wait for one or two seconds after a questionC. tell them to watch their languageD. wait at least three seconds after a question59. Which of the following ways are NOT mentioned in the passage ____________.A. tell their children stories instead of telling them to remember factsB. offer their children chances to see things for themselvesC. allow enough time for their children to find answers to the questionsD. encourage their children to ask questions of their own60.The writer of the passage is probably ____________.A a teacherB a scientistC a seven-year-old boy’s fatherD a reporter五、写作（共三节，满分25分）第一节单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）（每空只写一词）61.
