Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.

By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably

increase their children's language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their

children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the

child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.

A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty

children participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the

experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to

ask open-ended questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is

the doggy doing?" rather than, "Is the doggy running away?" Experimental parents were also

instructed how to expand on their children's answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how

to praise correct answers.

At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development,

but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the

control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the

experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

Question 46: Parents can give great help to their children's language development by _____ them.

A. adopting B. reading to C. experimenting D. responding to

Question 47: What does the word "they" in the second paragraph refer to?

A. Questions. B. Participants. C. Parents. D. Children.

Question 48: During the training session, experimental parents were taught to _____.

A. give correct answers B. study many experiments

C. use yes-no questions D. ask open-ended questions

Question 49: What was the major difference between the control group and the experimental one in

the study?

A. The age of the children. B. The books that were read.

C. The number of participants. D. The training that parents received.

Question 50: What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?

A. Children who read actively always act six months earlier than those who don't.

B. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.

C. Children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively.

D. Two or three-year-old children can be taught to read actively.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.

By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably

increase their children's language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their

children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the

child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.

A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty

children participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the

experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to

ask open-ended questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is

the doggy doing?" rather than, "Is the doggy running away?" Experimental parents were also

instructed how to expand on their children's answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how

to praise correct answers.

At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development,

but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the

control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the

experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

Question 46: Parents can give great help to their children's language development by _____ them.

A. reading to B. experimenting C. adopting D. responding to

Question 47: What does the word "they" in the second paragraph refer to?

A. Participants. B. Questions. C. Parents. D. Children.

C. Two or three-year-old children can be taught to read actively.

By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably

increase their children's language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their

children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the

child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.

A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty

children participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the

experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to

ask open-ended questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is

the doggy doing?" rather than, "Is the doggy running away?" Experimental parents were also

instructed how to expand on their children's answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how

to praise correct answers.

At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development,

but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the

control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the

experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.
