 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 6: Parents can give great help to their children's language development by them.
 A. adopting B. responding to C. experimenting D. reading to

one in the study?
 A. The training that parents received. B. The books that were read.
 C. The age of the children. D. The number of participants.
 Question 10: What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?
 A. Children who read actively always act six months earlier than those who don't.

Reading, as you know, is a continuous and never ending process. If you do very little reading, or 
if you read only material that offers no challenge to your comprehension, your reading will be of 
very little use. Once we reach a certain age, or once our formal schooling is completed, many of 
us become so restricted in our choice of .reading that we rarely read any new type of reading 
experience. We tend to read only books in our professional or business field, or only inspirational 
books, or only our favorite newspapers every morning, or only one magazine for which we have 
developed a preference. And the trouble starts here. You should neither read only for 
entertainment nor only for information but you should also read for intellectual growth, for 
mental stimulation, for enriching your background of knowledge, for wisdom, and for broader 
outlook and mature understanding. What kind of books should you read to continue your 
intellectual growth, to gain a background for opinion and for judgment? The answer is simple 
one: Read books in fields you have little or no acquaintance with, books that will open for you 
new horizons of learning, books that will help you explore new areas of knowledge and 
experience, books that will make the world and people more understandable to you. Sadly, more 
and more people today are giving up the printed word in favor of being entertained and informed 
by watching TV, a popular entertainment ,device present at almost homes. More and more 
children are being subjected to TV programming, perhaps as a babysitter. More than two hours of 
TV time per day are now a part of children development, generating physiological and mental 
problems that are of growing concern among experts.
