.阅读理解
Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy
science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to
share your children's curiosity (好奇). Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of sevenyearolds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me
“textbook questions” about schooling, salary (薪水) and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said，“Now
that we've finished with your lists,_do you have questions of your own about science？” After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have
you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢)eat? When I try
eating leaves like that，I get a stomachache. Why？”
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly，give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that，after asking a question,
adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults
increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical(符合逻辑的), complete and
creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a
child involved 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 behaviour (行为).
But in talking about science，quick praise can signal that
discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying
“That's interesting” or “I'd never thought of it that way
before”，or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to “think”. It doesn't make sense. 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. Reallife impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜) ，and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.
1. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is ________.
A．to let them see the world around
B. to share the children's curiosity
C. to explain difficult phrases about science
D. to supply the children with lab equipment
答案：B 根据文章第一段第三句中的“share you children's curiousity”可推知答案为B项。
2．In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the underlined word “lists”could best be replaced by ________.
A．any questions
B．any problems
C．questions from textbooks
D．any number of questions
答案：C 根据文章第一段第六句“The children asked me ‘textbook questions’”可推知答案为C项。
3．According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults ________.
A．ask them to answer quickly
B．wait for one or two seconds after a question
C．tell them to answer the next day
D．wait at least for three seconds after a question
答案：D 根据文章第四段最后一句“When adults increase their ‘wait time’ to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.”可推知答案为D项。
4．The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children's curiosity EXCEPT that adults should ________.
A．tell their children stories instead of reciting (背诵) facts
B．offer their children chances to see things of themselves
C．be patient enough when their children answer questions
D．encourage their children to ask questions of their own
答案：A 根据文章内容：从第四段可排除C项；从前三段可排除D项；从第七段可排除B项。从而可推知答案为A项。
