Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity; it can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest(探索)for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are ,and when both teacher and learner fulfil them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.
The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ______.
A.it is one of the most difficult school courses
B.students spend endless hours in reading
C.reading tasks are assigned with little guidance
D.too much time is spent in teaching about reading

A youngster"s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress.Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out(退学).In the early grades especially,experts say,youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends.“When children work on a pro-ject,”says Lillian Kate,an educational professor at the University of Illinois,“they learn to work together,to disagree,to think to take turns and lighten tensions.These skims can’t be learned through lecture.We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’t have any social skills.Relationships should be the first R.”At a certain age,children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others.For most children,school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world.Just as the l-year-old struggling to walk the 6-year-old is struggling to meet adult expectations.“Young kids don’t know how to distinguish early-childhood education for the state of New Jersey,if they try hard to do something and fail,they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task.The effects is serious,”says Hills,“a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation.”

America ’s National Institutes of Health says evidence suggests there are important periods of speech and language development in children.The ability to learn a language will be more difficult if these periods pass without early contact with a language.

Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.
Food writer Bee Wilson hasa messageof hope for parentsstruggling to get their children to eat vegetables: “ As parents,we havea far greaterpower than we think we have to form. children ’s tastes, ” saysWilson.
In her new book, First Bite , Wilson examines how genetics(遗传 ), culture, memory and early feeding patternscontribute to our food preferences.She says that achild ’s ability to judge good food can be formed even before birth. And this insight can be helpful for parents who want their children to eat well and healthfully. “
One of the main things we know about taste is that liking is a consequenceof familiarity ,so the things that our mothers eat, even before we’ re born,affect the way we&39;ll respond to thoseflavors. When we later encounter them, they seemfamiliar. “ There havebeen remarkable studies done showing that if someoneeatsalot of garlic when she&39;s pregnant, the baby will grow up to love garlic.
Wilson, amother of three, notes that babiesare most open to trying new flavors between the agesof four andsevenmonths. But, Wilson adds, even if parents miss introducing afood during the so-called “ flavor window ” , all hope is not lost. “
It not that the flavor window is shut and we can never learn to love bitter green vegetables. Humans can learn to love new flavors at any age, ” Wilson says.“ One of the amazing things about our relationship with food is how malleable (可塑的) it is. But we don&39;t usually as adults give ourselvesan opportunity to change. ”

Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English. Educators use special songs and visual (视觉的) aids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk, the languages will not be so foreign. "Children have a unique capacity to learn many languages at the same time," said Thibaut. "Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sounds he or she has never heard yet." Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years old. For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibarut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with child's play.
"I always wanted to learn Spanish, but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently," said Marc Lazare, who enrolled his son at the school. "I figured at this age, two, it's a perfect time for him to learn."
Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence. One young student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages (though that included "monkey" and "lion"). The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents. "I think they sometimes speak French when they think I won't understand them," said parent Foster Gibbons.
Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minute up to 2 hours. Even when students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home. Tapes and books are included so kids can practice on their own.
The word "bilingual" in the first paragraph probably means ______
A.capable of using two languages
B.both clever and confident
C.aware of their own limitations and strengths
D.independent of their parents

Keasey's research raises two key questions for developmental psychologists about children under age seven: do they recognize justifications for harmful actions, and do they make distinctions between harmful acts that are preventable and those acts that have unforeseen harmful consequences? Studies indicate that justifications excusing harmful actions might include public duty, selfdefense, and provocation. For example, Nesdale and Rule concluded that children were capable of considering whether of not an aggressor's action was justified by public duty: five year olds reacted very differently to "Bonnie wrecks Ann's pretend house" depending on whether Bonnie did it "so somebody won't fall over it" or because Bonnie wanted "to make Ann feel bad". Thus, a child of five begins to understand that certain harmful actions, though intentional, can be justified; the constraints of moral absolutism no longer solely guide their judgments.
Psychologists have determined that during kindergarten children learn to make distinctions involving harm. Darley observed that among acts involving unintentional harm, six-year-old children just entering kindergarten could not differentiate between foreseeable, and thus preventable, harm and unforeseeable harm for which the perpetrator cannot be blamed. Seven months later, however, Darley found that these same children could make both distincitons, thus demonstrating that they had become morally autonomous.
Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole?
A.An outline for future research.
B.An expanded definition of commonly misunderstood terms.
C.An analysis of a dispute between two theorists.
D.A discussion of research finding in an ongoing inquiry.
