Teachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to preschool children. But a new study tells that calling attention to the words and letters on the book may lead to better readers.
The two-year study compared(比较)children who were read to this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the words showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding.
Shayne Piasta, a professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, says most preschool teachers would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read storybooks in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed words.
Ms. Piasta says if you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word spelling. But she says studies show that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic(系统的)way.
They watched more than three hundred children aged four and five in classrooms in Ohio and Virginia. The children came from poor families and were poor in their language skills. They may become bad readers when they enter primary schools later.
Professor Justice says children’s language skills can be improved by discussing with him or her when you are reading a book to a child. There are different ways that adults can talk to children about the letters and words on the page. They can point to a word and discuss the shape of it with a finger. They can point out a word: “This is ‘dog’.” They can discuss the meaning of the word or how the words tell the story. And they can also show how words are written left to right in English.
【小题1】What does the underlined phrase “it makes sense” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.It can be understood and agreed. 
B.It is impossible to happen. 
C.It can be difficult to imagine and describe. 
D.It is surprising to see. 
【小题2】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Parents are more important than teachers for little children. 
B.Teachers need to learn a lot to use the new teaching way. 
C.It’s impossible for preschool children to understand words. 
D.Skills are important to children’s reading development. 
【小题3】The writer wants to tell us that _________.
A.preschool children should have higher discussing skills 
B.parents should make a plan to teach their children reading 
C.teachers should help children pay attention to printed words 
D.languages skills should be discussed with preschool children 

【小题10】A
【小题11】D
【小题12】C

解析试题分析:这篇短文的作者想要告诉我们,老师和家长通常让幼儿园的孩子看图。但是研究表明,看文字可能会更好。经过对看文字和不看文字阅读的孩子的为期两年的比较发现,那些通过文字来阅读的孩子表现出更好的读写和理解能力。
【小题11】细节理解题。make sense“理解;明白;意识到”是固定搭配,故选A。
【小题12】细节理解题。根据短文第三段的most preschool teachers would need only a small change in the way they teach.及最后一段大意可知技巧对孩子认字是很重要的。故选D。
【小题13】词义猜测题。根据文章大意,可知老师应该让学生学会注重文字,图形文字相结合,故选C。

Studying in groups is becoming more and more popular in class. It has many advantages. For example, we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study in groups. I still remember when I was in Grade 8, my physics was very poor, I had a really hard time with it. Once in class, the teachers asked us to discuss it with each other, but I was very shy, I could not do it like what they told me. My physics teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else bravely, then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some advice, I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems.

  You’re in a department store and you see two fashionable young women, looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:
“I can’t believe it—a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are hard to find. It’s much cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”
They leave and you go over to see this sweater. You’ve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really fashionable. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing, drinking and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing (秘密行销). Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it. It can reach people that don’t pay attention to traditional advertising. For example, consumers between the age of 18 and 34. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don’t believe ads.

Many people believe that life has smiled on Yang Mi: at the age of 4, she got her first TV drama role; at 16, she became a model for a fashion magazine; at 18, she went to her dream college — Beijing Film Academy (北京电影学院).
Last year, the 24-year-old actress played bad girl Luo Qingchuan in the time-travelling TV drama, Palace (《宫锁心玉》). The drama became a big success and made Yang very famous. The number of her micro blog followers rises from several thousand to more than 3 million overnight.
Could she be any luckier? Yang doesn’t think luck had anything to do with her success. She works hard all by herself. “Every chance is achieved from the efforts I’ve made,” said Yang. People now think she’s very hard-working.
She still remembers the time when people gave her the cold shoulder. People treated her with little love. They didn’t want to help her in her time of need. “I have to thank them because they gave me the strength to prove  myself,” she said
That’s why she is eager to help others when they are in need.
In May, Yang became the ambassador (大使) for the Climate Group to fight the bad weather. She calls on people to join the Million-Miracle (百万奇迹) project and plant trees on China’s dry land.
