29、、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。AChildren start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I

30、 once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that were finished with your lists, do you

31、 have questions of your own about science?”After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over

32、the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your langua

33、ge. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “Thats in

34、teresting” or “Id never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to “Think”. It doesnt make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find t

35、he answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips th

36、rough a magnifying glass (放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Instead of saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.56. According to the text, to raise childrens interest, the most important thing for adults

37、to do is _. A. to let them see the world aroundB. to share the childrens curiosity C. to explain different terms about scienceD. to supply the children with lab equipment57. The underlined word “lists” in the first paragraph refers to _. A. plansB. ideas C. questions from textbooks D. a large number

38、 of difficulties58. Children can answer questions in a more logical, complete, and creative way if adults _. A. ask them to answer quickly B. encourage them to take questions seriously C. tell them to answer the next dayD. wait at least for three seconds after a question59. What should adults do to

The author mentions all of the following techniques except that adults should _. A. tell their children stories instead of reciting facts B. offer

40、 their children chances to see things for themselves C. be patient enough when their children answer questions D. encourage children to ask questions of their ownBLONDON Heres a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods

41、 even if you also exercise regularly could be bad for your health. And it doesnt matter where the sitting takes place at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are mo

42、re likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die. In an editorial published this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authoritiesrethink how they define physical activity to highlight the dangers of sitt

43、ing. While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum (最少的) amounts of physical activity, they havent suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position. “After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals,” Ekblom-Bak said. She explained

44、that genes regulating (调节) the amount of glucose (葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down. Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every da

45、y but still spend a lot of time sitting might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single bout (一回). Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether or not they exercised. “We dont have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting is bad,” said Peter Katzmarzyk of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, who led the
