The researchers also found that TV viewing didn t have much of an effect positively or negatively as long as it wash t displacing conversations between an adult and a child.The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that, in an average day, children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adultchild conversations a day.Assessed separately, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. When looked at alone, TV was negatively associated with language development. But, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is， Zimmerman said. “Although it s mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. Theyll also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they re doing, such as， Im putting on your pajamas now. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment， she added. “If parents can carve out some conversation time maybe at bath time or at dinner time that s a wonderful thing.56The researchers also found that TV viewing _.A could have a positive effect on a childs language developmentBhad a little effect on a child s language developmentCaffected a childs language development more negatively than positivelyDaffected a childs language development both negatively and positively57Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that _.Aparents should let their children talk most of the timeBchildren should watch TV programs selectivelyCthe conversation between parents and children should be two-wayDit s no good for parents to correct their children s mistakes when they are speaking58We can conclude from the last paragraph that _.Aparents should let a child repeat what he or she saysBbath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a childCparent child conversation can be carried out at any proper timeDparents should leave a child talking alone59What would be the best title for the passage?ATalk with kids, not at themBLet your children voice their own opinionsCHow to develop a child s language abilityDThe importance of early child language development60The underlined word “tailor in the last paragraph can be best replaced by “_.Acontrol Bimprove Cpass DadjustBAs the nights get lounger, those who suffer from the winter blues will be planning ways to escape to the sunshine.But there may be a much simpler way of cheering yourself up. simply shining a bright light into your ear canal.Up to one in four Britons suffer from seasonal affective disorder, with seven per cent of the population having full-blown SAD. It is caused by the brain not receiving enough daylight which is needed to trigger serotonin血清素, a hormone that regulates mood. Symptoms range from mild lethargy 乏力to depression and insomnia, but a cure might be in sight.Two clinical trials, run by Valkee - who make a device that can shine light into your ear - and the University of Oulu in Finland, have found that carefully targeted light can help prevent the condition.Juuso Nissilä, Valkee's co-founder and chief scientist said: “We presented earlier that the human brain is sensitive to light.“These two clinical trials demonstrate that channeling bright light via ear canal into brain's photosensitive areas effectively prevents and treats seasonal affective disorder.The University of Oulu reported that in their first study, 92 per cent of the patients with seasonal affective disorder achieved full remission after a month of daily eight-to-12 minute doses of light from the Valkee.Time Takala, chief physician at the Oulu Deaconess Institute said: “These two trials show that b
