• 3．Growing up，I wanted to be just like my mom.She was kind.People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence.For years，she was a volunteer in our community.I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.
     On one summer day，Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends.Why did she have to ruin everything？I imagined the cool lake water.Irritated，I climbed into the car and shut the door with a loud noise.We sat in silence.I was too upset to make conversation.
     "Tasha，would you like to know where we are going？"Mama asked calmly.
     "No，" I said.

"Hi!You want to play dolls with me？" she asked.I looked over at Mama.She smiled and nodded.I turned back and said， "Sure." Her tiny hand reached up and held mine，as if to comfort me.
     My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer.I returned to the shelter with her several times.During those visits some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had.Today as I try hard to teach these values to my own child，I reflect back to that experience.It was a time that I will never forget.

• 5．Grown---ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away.He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.Another who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle，twinkle，little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
     One explanation is the law of overlearning，which can be started as follows：Once we have learned something，additional learning practice increases the length of time we will remember it.
     In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing basketball long after we have learned them.We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle，twinkle，little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.We not only learn but overlearn.
     The multiplication tables（乘法口訣表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
     The law of overlearning explains why cramming（死記硬背）for an examination，though it may result in a passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything learned.A little overlearning，on the other hand，is really necessary for one's future development.
  
  （1）What is the main idea of paragraph 1？

  
  A．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
  B．Stories for children are easy to remember.
  C．Children have a better memory than grow-ups.
  D．People remember well what they learned in childhood.
  （2）The author explained the law of overlearning by

  .
  A．giving research findings
  B．using examples
  C．making a comparison
  D．setting down basic rules
  （3）What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 5 refer to？

  
  A．the law.
  B．overlearning.
  C．cramming.
  D．examination.
  （4）What is the author's opinion on cramming？

  
  A．It leads to failure in exams.
  B．It increases students' learning interest.
  C．It's possible to result in poor memory.
  D．It's helpful only in a limited way.

• 6．All loving parents want to believe that their child is the smartest in the class.Some will call their child a genius.This is easy to understand.Parents just want to make their child feel confident from a young age.However，calling your child a genius is not the answer.Being a natural genius is not common and many parents mistake real genius.The ability to read or speak a little sooner than other children does not necessarily mean your child is a genius.It probably just means he is a fast learner.
     To call your child a genius could actually damage his early development.The word will put a lot of pressure on some children.The pressure to live up to their parents' expectations could feel too big.Such high expectations are more likely to affect their confidence badly.Some other children may become too confident.This can be bad too.The children may start to believe that they are so smart that they do not have to try hard at school.Studies show that it is better for children's development to praise their hard work instead of telling them they are geniuses.
     Do not give your child all the answers either.In fact，asking your child lots of questions will help him think.Your child also needs time to find out what he is interested in.Do not push him to become interested in something you feel is important.Finally，have proper conversations with your child.Studies show that this helps with language development.
     Whether or not your child is a genius，our advice should help give your child the best possible start in life.
  
  （1）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？

  
  A．A child who can speak or read sooner is probably just a faster learner.
  B．If parents call their child a genius，the child will be confident.
  C．Many parents can tell a natural genius from ordinary children.
  D．A child who can speak or read a little sooner than other children is a genius.
  （2）The underlined phrase "live up to" in Paragraph 2 probably means

  .
  A．continue to be alive
  B．have life
  C．meet the requirements of
  D．spend one's life
  （3）How many pieces of advice does the writer give to parents？

  
  A．1.
  B．2.
  C．3.
  D．4.
  （4）The purpose of the article is to tell parents

  .
  A．the features of a real genius
  B．the bad effects of calling their child a genius
  C．the advantage of calling their child a genius
