Many parents like twins(双胞胎) a lot. For many years, people think that twins have a secret language. A lot of parents of twins say that their children have a secret way of talking to each other by using some words they don't understand. "The twin language" was very special in people's minds for a long time. However, a study shows that twins hardly have secret languages. So why do people think that?

When babies are learning to speak, they often make sounds and their parents don't understand them. For example, a child may call a bottle "baba". Since twins are learning the language at the same time, they often make the same mistakes. So, if one of the twins calls a bottle"baba", the other possibly starts to do the same. Soon, the twins are using the same inaccurate word. Parents may think of this as a secret language. In fact, the twins are learning new words like any other child.

A study shows that true secret languages don't happen very often. It happens because babies spend a lot of time alone and don't have many people talking around them.

Some studies show that it often takes longer for twins to begin speaking than for non-twin children. This could be because parents of twins can be busier than parents with just one baby, so they don't have much time to spend with their twin babies. Because twins understand each other's language mistakes, it may take them longer to learn words right.

As twins get older, like many non-twin children, they may make secret words for things they don't want their parents to understand!

National (国家的) parks give a safe home to plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. They also give us the best trips. Today, there are nearly 7,000 national parks around the world. A famous magazine showed us 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world. They will surprise you with their amazing natural wonders and

The Grand Canyon is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. It is famous for its size and depth. It is 446 kilometres long, up to 29 kilometres wide and 1. 83 kilometres deep. Every year, about 5 million people visit the Grand Canyon National Park of US. When taking a trip in the south of the park, visitors can see the park's full views. In the north of the park, visitors can enjoy beautiful wild flowers.

 请阅读短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

 Among all the pen productions, the writing brush(maobi) is a kind of special writing tool mainly made in China.

 Archaeologists(考古学家) said that writing brushes first appeared about 5,000 years ago. Hengshui, Xuancheng and Huzhou were three centers for making writing brushes in Chinese history. Many people still celebrate the invention of the brush every year.

____ Materials(材料) for the head part include rabbit hair, horse hair and so on. Some Chinese people like to make the writing brush with babies' lanugos(胎毛). People believe that a writing brush made of the hair of newborn babies will bring good luck while taking exams. As for stalks(笔杆), common materials are usually wood, but we can also see some special ones made of ivory, gold and some other expensive materials.

 It's considered that the writing brush is the most important one among the Four Treasures of Chinese Study. In Chinese calligraphy(书法) and Chinese painting, the writing brush is widely used. In ancient China, children had to learn calligraphy and try to write a good hand. Even the emperors were good at calligraphy. Nowadays, some Chinese people still practice calligraphy with a writing brush from a very young age. Calligraphy is beneficial to people in some ways. When writing, people will forget all worries and even themselves, turning all thoughts into the beauty of art. People think it helps improve a person's temper(脾气).

 Writing or painting with writing brushes is not only a way of communication, but also a way of expressing a person's inner world.
