Babies who frequently communicate with their caregivers using eye contact and vocalisations(发声)at the age of one are more likely to develop greater languages skills by the time they reachtwo,according to new research.
In the study, researchers looked at 11-and 12-month-od babies' vocalisations. gestures and gaze behaviours ,and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure he interactions ,the researchers videoed infants(婴儿)and caregiver at home,and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to the university
The scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months was when infants were seen to use vocalsatioms while looking at their caregiver's face when they were about a year old.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregiver.
The statistics showed that at 19 months,children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited the beneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words.
"The message of this paper is thatitis the result of a joint effort; noticing what your child is attending to and talking to them about it will support their language development." said McGillion, a co-author of the work.
"The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context... across any part of your day.It's not something that requires special equipment or even lots of time.I can happen when you're doing the laundry,for example—when you're taking out the socks, you can talk about socks...in the park, in the car, at mealtimes,at bathtimes.This finding can be used in any context,"added McGillion.
"This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life, but children are constantly growing and changing and so are their behaviours. It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progress through the second year of life to see what's happening there,"said Donnellan,the lead author on the study.
4. How did the researchers get the findings?
A. By interacting with babies.
B. By asking babies to vocalize.
C. By analyzing relevant recordings.
D. By referring to the previous statistics.
5. What does he underlined word "it"in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. I's easy to perform.
B. It's complex to understand.
C. It's difficult to copy.
D. It's interesting to video.
7. What might further studies be on?
A. Children's academic progress.
B. Children's growing environment.
C. Children's potential physical development.
D. Children's behaviours across more age ranges.

In Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or sting(刺伤) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. Now scientists have figured out what makes the tree’s sting so bad.
The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people callit the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you touch a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.
Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This
allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain.
The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked(舔) at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemicals very stable, which helps explain why the pain stays so long.
The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and cone snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.
Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small s of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble.
8. Why is a touch on the stinging tree unforgettable?
A. Because it has so unusual an appearance.
B. Because it is extremely rare in existence.
C. Because touching it creates a quite strange feeling.
D. Because the pain caused by it doesn’t go away quickly.
9. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?
A. How it produces poisons.
B. What poisons it produces.
C. How it benefits from the sting.
D. The consequences of its sting.
10. What does the text imply about the stinging tree?
A. It produces the same poisons as spiders.
B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies.
C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it.
D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Discover Stinging Tree's Secret
B. Caution: Stinging Tree Can Bite and Poison You
C. Scientists Discover a Strange Species in Australia
D. Effective Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging Tree

Nina Wygant, 11, sits in front of a long table in a classroom that looks more like a trendy coffee shop than an elementary school classroom. Some of her fifth-grade classmates at Hopewell Memorial Junior High School sit on
high-top chairs at counters. Others choose to sit in club chairs or soft bean bags in comfortable. "I like it because it gives us an environment we like or need to settle down and read a book that we would like to concentrate on instead of having desks and being all quiet," said Vivian Garcia, 10. “You can just space out and have your own little area. I find it very amazing that you can pick your own books instead of being told what to read.”
That’s the end goal, said teacher Heather Shadish. Reading has always been a passion for this English language arts and science teacher, a passion she instills（灌输）in her pupils. Back then, in her literature class in graduate school at Chatham University, a professor read aloud the first chapter ofBecause of Winn-Dixieby Kate DiCamillo, a Newbery Medalist. "That was the moment I knew I wanted to some day teach reading. There was a spark there. I just felt these are the kind of books I need to share with kids ---the books that are going to make them feel something and make them fall in love with reading instead of reading being achore.”
But information in children's workbooks is limited, so they open tablets and connect to Epic - a digital library that's free to educators and librarians, but $7.99 a month for parents — giving kids unlimited access to approximately 35,000 books（both print and audio）, quizzes and videos to enhance learning.
“Epic gives students access to information not found in a textbook and presents it in a more interesting way," she said.
12. What does Vivian think of the reading experience?
A. She favors club chairs and free discussion.
B. She feels comfortable to be told what to read.
C. She enjoys the environment and reading choice.
D. She finds it easy to pick a book in a crowded area.
13. What does the underlined word “chore" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Task.
B. Process.
C. Habit.
D. Skill.
14. What can children get from Epic?
A. Free audio books.
B. Tasks on reading levels.
C. Advice from educators.
D. Useful learning resources.
15. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. A Teacher's New Reading Method
B. Pupils' love of Reading Room
C. Options of Teaching Reading
D. Easy Access to Digital Reading
