阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

If you want to help children develop language and speech skills, UCLA researchers say, listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.
The effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is about six times as great as the effect of adult speech input alone, the researchers found・“Adults speaking to children helps language develop, but what matters much more is the interaction（互动交流），” said the study * s lead author, Frederick Zimmerman, an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. The researchers also found that TV viewing dicin' t have much of an effect 一positively or negatively一as long as it wasn? t displacing（替换）conversations between an adult and a child・
The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that, in an average day, children heard about 13, 000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult-child conversations a day.
Assessed（评彳占）separately, factors positively associated（有关系）with language development including each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1, 000 words increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. When looked at alone, TV was negatively associated with language development. But, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children・“The more a child speaks and intera cts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is, ” Zimmerman said. " Although it" s mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. They" 11 also tailor their speech to the child・ Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they're doing, such as, 'I'm putting on your pajamas now'. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment, M she added・“If parents can carve out some conversa tion time一maybe at bath time or at dinner time—that^s a wonderful thing. ”
21.The researchers also found that TV viewing _____ ・
A.could have a positive effect on a child's language development
B.had a little effect on a child's language development
C・ affected a child's language development more negatively than positively
D.aflected a child's language development both negatively and positively
22.Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that ______ .
A.parents should let their children talk most of the time
B.children should watch TV programs selectively
C.the conversation between parents and children should be two-way
D.if s no good for parents to correct their children^ mistakes when they are speaking
23.We can conclude from the last paragraph that ______ .
A.parents should let a child repeat what he or she says
B.bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child
C.parent-child conversation can be carried out at any proper time
D.parents should leave a child talking alone
24.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Talk With Kids, Not at Them
B.Let Your Children Voice Their Own Opinions
C.How to Develop a Child's Language Ability
D.The Importance of Early Child Language Development
The "Thumbs-Up n
While western culture has become used to the thumbs-up as a positive signal, probably coming from World War II pilots using the signal to communicate that they were “good to go” with ground crew（出也勤人员），there are cultures where a thumbs-up may land you in trouble・ In West Africa as well as Greece, Italy and Middle East, the thumbs-up is pretty much the biggest insult（W 辱）.Rather more charming is a thumbs-up in Germany and in parts of Japan—they just see it as the hand signal for the number one.
The “A・OK"
This sign is mainly used by divers（潜水员）to mean “OK" （to prevent being confused with the thumbs-up sign, which means"rise”）. Basically the meaning comes out as^greator u completely fine”• However, in a few countries in Europe, people may think you" re telling them that you think they're a “zero”.
The “V Sign”
The sign comes in two formats（形式）:one with the palm faced outwards, and one with the palm inwards. In America they mean the same thing一“victory” • However, if the outside of your hand is facing your target, you' re giving somebody a long established insult in Great Britain and many English-speaking countries such as Australia, Ireland and New Zealand・ Winston Churchill（丘吉尔）famously used the u incorrect n version of the V sign during the early years of the war, turning the outside inside later. The V sign is also considered rude in Italy.
The “Coma”
The corna hand gesture has most recently been accepted by fans of rock and heavy metal music. Nowadays many Americans use the gesture simply to mean "rock on" or in support of the University of Texas in Austin（known as the "Hook' cm Horns"）. Today it is still popular in Spain, Brazil and Slovakia（期可各伐克）.Historically, however, the symbol possibly dates back to Ancient Greece ・
25.The pilots in World War II used to make the u Thumbs-Up v sign to show ___ .
A.the plane was very good
B.the plane was ready to take off
C.they were going to land on the ground
D・ they were thankful to the ground crews
26.What information can we get from the passage?
A.Italians often use the "Thumbs・Up” to praise others.
B.The "A-OK" and the "Thumbs-Up^ have the same meaning to the divers.
C.The "V Sign" was first used by Churchill.
D・ You can see the "C OHK T in a heavy metal music concert.
27.If you travel abroad, you，d better not use the “V sign n in ________ .
A. Greece or Italy B・ Germany or Japan
C.Ireland or Italy
D. Spain or Brazil
2& What can we learn from the passage?
A. Never too old to learn.
B・ Do as the Romans do.
C.Four eyes see more than (wo.
D.Every countiy has its own customs.
Jack Johnson is one of the most popular singer-song writers in the world・
Jack was born on May 1& 1975 in Hawaii. Being the son of a famous surfer, Jack usually has an interest in surfing. Most of his life lessons were learned in the water. At the age of 17, Jack entered the finals of the Pineline Masters—the world? s most famous surfing competition. Every one thought Jack would become a professional surfer like his father. Unluckily, one month later, he had a deadly accident while surfing and was seriously hurt.
Life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens・ Jack started to practice playing the guitar and write songs when he was staying in hospital. At first, his father thought Jack only did it for fun, but soon he was surprised at the great progress his son had made.
When studying in the university, Jack didn't stop practicing his guitar skills・ He played the guitar for school parties. He wrote songs and sang for his teachers and friends・ They liked his songs ・ His first music album Brushfire Fairytales came out in 2001. It was a great success. His second album, On and On, was much like his first. They were filled with sweet, easy-going songs that everybody liked listening to later. Jack had lots of concerts in and out of America. He became popular all over the world・
Jack had five albums by 2010 and more than 15 million copies of them were sold. His music doesiTt fit into any of the popular music styles like pop, rocks, R and B or hip-hop. It is more like folk music, played with a guitar and beautiful voice. When listening to his songs, you feel like lying on the beach enjoying the warm sunshine.
Jack is a talent, though he himself says he is only a surfer who loves music・ In his songs we can find his secret of success・ Whatever happens in our lives, we have to accept it and do the best we cart

In side I met my counselor（辅导员）,Bill, and he taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving. It was the night before an important test and I was very nervous. Bill saw this and suggested that we should go out for a walk. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we should go for a coffee. I told him I was broke, and when I got paid, I would pay him back・ He stopped then and looked at me in a serious but loving way and said, “No, you won' t. ” He told me that I didn? t owe（欠）him anything and he was doing this because he wanted to. He then told me something that has followed me to this day, "One day you、11 be around someone and they'll need a coffee, and youTI be able to buy it for them・ That's how you can pay me back."
