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.
Question 6: Parents can give great help to their children's language development by _____ them.
A. adopting
B. responding to
C. experimenting
D. reading to

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 from 36 to 40.
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.
Question 36: Parents can give great help to their children's language development by _____ them.
A. adopting
B. responding to
C. experimenting
D. reading to
Question 37: What does the word "they" in the second paragraph refer to?

C. Parents.

Question 38: During the training session, experimental parents were taught to _____.
A. study many experiments
B. ask open-ended questions
C. give correct answers
D. use yes-no questions
Question 39: What was the major difference between the control group and the experimental one in
the study?
A. The number of participants.
B. The books that were read.
C. The age of the children.

D. The training that parents received.
Question 40: What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?
A. Children who read actively always act six months earlier than those who don't.
B. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.
C. Two or three-year-old children can be taught to read actively.

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 from 46 to 50.
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

experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

the study?
A. The number of participants.
B. The books that were read.
C. The age of the children.
D. The training that parents received.
Question 50: What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?
