In fact, he had to teach himself all he knew. He worked for a time as junior clerk in a lawyers office. After th

14、at, he worked as a reporter in the law courts, and later in parliament, for London newspapers. His career as a writer of fiction began in 1833 with short stories and essays in periodicals, and in 1837 his comic novel The Pickwick Papers made him the most popular author at his time in England. He was

15、 a great observer of people and their places because he was attracted by life and conditions in mid-nineteenth century London. He wrote 19 novels all his life and in many of them, Dickens gave a realistic picture of all classes of England society, showing deep sympathy for the poor and unfortunate,

16、exposing the injustice and inhumanity of the bourgeoisie. Many of his novels like Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Nicholas Nickleby, Great Expectations, A tale of Two Cities and so on drew attention to the unsatisfactory social conditions that existed in England over a hundred years ago. Dickens cr

17、iticized capitalist society (资本主义社会)from the point of view of bourgeois humanism(资产阶级人文主义).

19、ing novels made Dickens the most popular writer at his time in England?A. Oliver Twist B. The Pickwick Papers C., A Tale of Two Cities D.

Helping them enjoy science can b

22、e 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 once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions about schoolin

23、g, 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 have questions of your own about science? After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I t

24、ry 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 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 chi

25、ld to think. When adults increase their “wait time to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers. Thirdly, watch your language.

Instead, keep things going by saying “Thats interesting 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

27、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 the 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 i

28、mpressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program.

36、because the two sides of the brain are better connected in womenThis means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same timeWhen it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye

37、on the baby all at the same time, its women who come out on top every timeThere are other important differences between two sexesAs white matter is the key to spatial tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things“A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the ot
