Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably increase their
children’s language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big
difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what
the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase.
A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children
participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group,
the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather
than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggy doing?” rather than, “Is the
doggy running away?”. Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their children’s answer,
how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.
At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the end of
one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of
verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an
advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.
66. Parents can give great help to their children’s language development by______ them.
A. responding to B. reading to C. experimenting D. adopting
67. What does the word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?

A. Children. B. Questions. C. parents D. Participants.
68. During the training session, experimental parents were taught to______.
A. give correct answers B. use yes-no questions
C. ask open-ended questions D. study many experiments
69. What was the major difference between the control group and the experimental one in the study?
A. The age of the children. B. The number of participants.
C. The books that were read. D. The training that parents received
70. What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?
A. Two or three-year-old children can be taught to read actively.
B. Children’s language skills increase when they are required to respond actively
C. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.
D. Children who read actively always act six months earlier than those who don’t.
