3、lso the even more subtle (微妙的)body language of posture: Are you sitting or standing with arms or legs crossed?

4、te? Not in words, although a parrot might be trained to repeat words and phrases which it doesnt understand. But, as we have learnt, there is more to communicate than words. Take dogs for example.

Many birds and fishes change color, for example, to attract partners during the mating (交配) season. And mating itself is commonly
6、 done after a special dance which both partners take part in. Here, again, there are striking similarities to young men and women who dress up to meet partners at parties, where the music is often too loud for word communication. Communication there takes place through appearance and movement.The mo
7、st carefully planned dances in the animal kingdom are those that bees use to communicate. With body movements alone they can tell other bees the direction and distance of a newly discovered food.All these examples may suggest instinctive(本能的) rather than intelligent communication. But human body lan

The effect of a conversation between a child a
19、nd 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 studys lead author, Frederick Zimmerman, an associate professor in the School
20、 of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. The researchers also found that TV viewing didnt have much of an effectpositively or negativelyas long as it wasnt displacing (替换)conversations between an adult and a child. The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 m
21、onths 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 adultchild conversations a day. Assessed (评估) separately, factors positively associated (有关
22、系) with language development included 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,
23、 the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children. “The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is，” Zimmerman said. “Although its mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistake. Theyll
24、also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what theyre doing, such as，Im putting on your pajamas now. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment，” she added. “If parents can carve out som
25、e conversation timemaybe at bath time or at dinner time thats a wonderful thing.”语篇解读：研究发现，父母和孩子之间的交谈对孩子语言的发展至关重要。这种交谈必须是双向的，互动的。28The researchers also found that TV viewing _.A. could have a positive effect on a childs language developmentB. had a little effect on a childs language developmentC. af
26、fected a childs language development more negatively than positivelyD. affected a childs language development both negatively and positively答案：B细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句可知，看电视对孩子没有多少影响，无论是积极的还是消极的。29Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that _.A. parents should let their children talk most of the, timeB.
27、children should watch TV programs selectivelyC. the conversation between parents and children should be twowayD. its no good for parents to correct their childrens mistakes when they are speaking答案：C推理判断题。从文章第二段内容可知，Zimmerman强调父母跟孩子之间交谈的双向性和互动性才是更重要的。30We can conclude from the last paragraph that _.
28、A. parents should let a child repeat what he or she saysB. bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a childC. parentchild conversation can be carried out at any proper timeD. parents should leave a child talking alone答案：C推理判断题。从文章最后一段可知，父母应该随时创造跟孩子交谈的机会，时间的选择是非常灵活的。31What w

The importance of early child language development答案：A主旨大意题。根据文章内容分析，文章强调父母和孩子之间的交流，而且强调交流的互动性，因此A项符合文章的主旨。DMeeting people from another cult
30、ure can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signals(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, busine
31、ss in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work，it is necessary to spend a lot of time on“small talk”， usually over a cup of tea, before they do any job. In many European countrieslike the UK or France people find it easier to build up a lasting
32、working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized tha
