se 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 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated 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-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, " What is the doggie doing？"rather than"Is the doggie running away？" The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers.

At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 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 show an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？

A．Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.

B．Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.

C．Active children should read more and be given more attention.

D．Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.

y of these deaths can be prevented. In fact, experts say, techniques now exist to save the lives of half of these children. The techniques are medically effective, simple to use and low cost. The biggest task bas been to inform. parents about these life-saving techniques.

Diarrhea(腹泻)is the main cause of death among children in developing countries. Diarrhea results when the body tries to clear itself of harmful bacteria(细菌). The body does this by getting out liquids, sometimes uncontrollably. If too much water, sugar and salt are lost in this way, the body cannot work normally. The child may die.

The United Nations International Children's Fund, UNICEF, introduces a technique. It uses a simple mixture of sugar and salt in water. The mixture does not stop diarrhea. But if used often as needed, it keeps fluid (体液) levels normal until the body has fought off the harmful bacteria. In Egypt, for example, the treatment was used in a children's health care program in the province of Alexandria. It reduced by one-half the number of deaths caused by diarrhea. The technique bas now been used throughout the country.

According to the passage, a large number of children can be saved only when ________。

A．the life-saving ways are medically effective

B．their parents are rich enough for the life-saving techniques

C．the life-saving techniques are easy to use

D．their parents learn the life-saving techniques
