Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount(数量) of listening they need before they start speaking, and children who start speaking late are often long listeners. Most children will"obey (服从)"spoken instructions some time before they can speak, although the word"obey"can almost not describe the cooperation (合 作)shown by the children. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gestures and by making noises.

People agree that babies enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months babies use one or two special noises to show their happiness, pain, friendliness and so on. But since these are not a kind of communication, language. From about three months old they play with sounds for enjoyment, and by six months they are able to add new sounds to their words. This self-imitation (自 我 模 仿) leads to deliberate(故意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then appears — can people take these imitations as speech?

It is a problem we need not get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a special person means by it in a special situation, and what a child means by a word will change as he or she gets more experience of the world.

Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself or herself. I wonder, however, whether anything is gained when parents try to use this ability to teach new sounds.

 阅读下列短文,从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

Nowadays, protecting our environment has become an important topic for us. All of us live in one world. We are making waste every minute. When we finish reading a newspaper, the paper will become waste. When TV sets or computers are broken, they will become waste, too. Among all the waste we make, plastic(塑料的) bags and rubber(橡胶) stand out and catch people's attention. 

Plastic bags are often used in our everyday life. The number of used plastic bags is going up day by day. We like to use them because they are convenient (便利的). When we get home, we throw the plastic bags away as waste. These are called "white pollution" as most plastics are white. Rubber  is also common (常见的) in our daily life. Many things we use are made of rubber, just like the bottom part of our shoes. However, it also brings us some trouble. The rubber waste pollutes the environment very badly because it can't break down easily in nature - it will not change for a long time.

To solve the problems above, we should take action at once. For example, when we go shopping, we can bring cloth bags but not plastic ones. And we should do something to recycle (循环使用) rubber. Our small actions can make a difference and lead to a better future.

以下是一篇短文,请阅读全文,并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。

A.This will lead to poor communication and make others understand things wrongly.

B.Share your knowledge with others.

C.Try to get better and better at what you do.

D.Therefore, make it a habit to appreciate your members.

E.However, building a strong and well-performing team is hard.

F.It could be your father, brother, friend, teacher, or a famous person.

Here are some ways to improve one's leadership at work.

Learn from leaders that you admire. You can get encouragement from any leader that has left a great impression on you with the leadership. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Choose the good qualities that you want to study, such as keeping their word, trusting others and courage.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}As a leader, it is important to teach others what you know to help them grow in their jobs. If you spend time teaching others, you can enable them to have valuable skills and knowledge.

Build good teams. Many people want to work in or be part of a successful team. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}When you build it, you have to know the advantages and disadvantages of members, and other things.

Be a good listener. Good listening skills are important to a leader. With so much information distracting(分散)our attention today,it is easy to ignore (忽略) listening skills. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Listening carefully can help people feel understood, appreciated and respected.

Praise others truly. Sometimes leaders forget the power and importance of praising team members,yet this simple behavior is encouraging. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
