16、w.The lag in gesture among twins may be mostly due to lower parental input, Ozcaliskan said. Its likely that parents caring for twins engage in shorter conversations with their children, including gesturing less, because their attention is divided and their labor is doubled.However, parents of singl
17、e children used a greater amount and diversity of gestures than parents of twins. Ozcaliskan said she had grown curious about gesture because it had not yet been studied among twins. We have already known that twins are initially at a disadvantage where language is concerned. Most of the time, these
18、 lags are within the normal range of differences, and nothing to worry about. Almost all children will catch up to each other by around age three and a half.“However,there was almost nothing in research on gesturing among twins, Ozcaliskan said. Babies start using pointing around 10 months, a few mo
19、nths before they produce their first words. Gesture helps them convey what they cant yet communicate in speech and prepares the way for childrens early words.Twins sometimes develop their own systems of communication, even their own “twin language, which has also been shown to delay language acquisi
20、tion. “Perhaps it also delays the use of gestures. Gesture and speech together form a closely integrated system in a childs development, and a childs first gestures often precede their first attempts at speech, Ozcaliskan said.Gesture is a very powerful tool, she said. “Pay attention to your childs
21、gestures, and then provide verbal(言语的） descriptions to help their language development, such as naming objects when children point to them.4. What mainly causes twins to produce and use fewer gestures?A. Reduced parental input.B. Undivided parental attention.C. Too much “twin language.D. Slow langua

Gestures prepare children for future development.CSustained Silent Reading (SSR) is the practice of providing a short period of class time for students to read silently whatever they choose according to their interests.SSR programs ca
25、n be offered at actually any grade level. However,it takes a great deal of time,effort,and know-how to put a successful SSR program into operation. I first recognized this when I was a high school teacher twenty years ago. Though some of my students were happy to be allowed to select and read books
26、in class, many never truly dived into their reading. I knew that there must be ways to improve the implementation(实施） of my SSR program, but I wasnt sure what they were.Years later, when I returned to the University of Southern California, I began analyzing a large sample of SSR studies to determine
27、 what made them effective and found that successful programs shared five key factors: easy access to reading materials, sufficiently interesting materials, teachers encouragement, follow-up activities and reading at least twice a week.In fact, only when teachers follow specific guidelines do these p
28、rograms achieve their full potential. Having learned this, I decided to create an “ideal SSR program for my students by employing the five factors above. At the same time, another high school in our district also made the decision to offer students SSR time each day. However, having no knowledge of
29、the five factors, the teachers simply asked their students to “read anything for fifteen minutes.The result was that the students at my school outperformed (胜过） the other school in four areas: reading comprehension, positive attitudes toward reading, frequency of after-school pleasure reading, and u
30、se of a wider range of reading sources. I shared my findings with the other schools staff members. Since then, both schools have experienced the positive benefits of SSR.TodayI have given many lectures at a wide variety of schools where teachers are eager to learn “how-to methods for developing prog
31、rams that will motivate their students to become hooked on reading.They ask a variety of excellent questions and I have never been bored of answering them.8. What do we know about the SSR program from Paragraph 1?A. Its an after-class reading program.B. It suits students of all grade levels.C. It re

35、s of buildings, statues, or even the food. Its the selfie-sticks (自拍杆)-being sold on every street corner, and being put to use everywhere we went. When traveling, people were photographing themselves, often without bothering to look at all the beauty behind them.Research shows that were distracted b
36、y photography. When we take pictures, we may improve our chances of remembering the facts, like where we were or what we ate. But we miss out on other details, and dont see the “big picture” because were too focused on the small picture on our screen. Whats more, if we rely on photographs to store o
37、ur experiences, we spend less time practising the act of remembering. And by not stretching our recall muscles regularly, we dont strengthen particular memories.As a result, we may end up with very shallow records of the past. And thats especially true if were always photographing ourselves. Selfies
38、 reveal little about the “big picture”-whats happening around us, or how we were really feeling at the time.So take photographs to remind you of key details, to be creative, and to show to family and friends. But get into the habit of capturing experiences with your mind too. Consciously take in eve
