Have you ever thought about how babies learn to speak? For the first months of their lives, they cry and make noises, but children usually start forming(构成) words when they are about 12 months old．Which are the first words they say? Sometimes, they are the words they hear most often, sometimes the words for things they like．They usually start with words like mama, papa or dada．Some scientists say that sounds like ma, da, pa and ba are the easiest sounds to make, so when parents are very happy because their child is saying mama, in fact the baby is just experimenting(进行实验) with making noises!

All children begin learning their language first by listening and then speaking．They start with words for objects, like “car” or “dog”, then words for actions, like “drink” or “eat”, slowly adding other kinds of words to make sentences．They can understand more difficult words and sentences, but they can’t say them．Some children speak more than others (just like adults!) and some children speak earlier than others, but by practising, they all learn in the end.

One mother tells the story of her son who didn’t speak until he was four years old．Before then, he pointed when he wanted something or just made strange noises．One day, he came into the kitchen for breakfast and said, “Can I have some chocolate, please?” And then, he never stopped talking.

So when you start to learn another language, remember that it took years for you to learn yours! If you keep listening and trying hard to speak, you improve, just like in your own language.

1．How old are most children when they start to say the first words?

A．About 6 months old.     B．About one year old.       C．About 18 months old.    D．About two years old.

2．When children begin language learning, which happens first?

A．Speaking.                     B．Reading.                       C．Listening.                     D．Writing.

3．How does the writer explain that learning takes time in Paragraph 3?

A．By listing numbers.       B．By asking questions.      C．By giving an example.   D．By making a survey.

4．What does the underlined word yours refer to?

A．Your parents.                B．Your language.              C．Your children.              D．Your lives.

C

In fear and surprise I hid in the corn, and hoped he would not notice me．He shouted in a voice like thunder and seven other giants appeared．They seemed to be his servants．When he gave the order, they began to cut the corn in the field where I was hiding．As they moved towards me, I moved away．But at last I came to a field where rain had knocked down the corn．There was no longer anywhere for me to hide．I lay down and prepared to die．I could not stop myself thinking of Lilliput．There, I myself had been a giant, an important person who had become famous for helping the people of that small country．Here, it was the opposite．I was like a Lilliputian in Europe, and I began to understand how a very small creature feels.

Suddenly I noticed that one of the giants was very close to me as his huge foot rose over my head．I screamed as loudly as I could．He looked around on the ground and finally saw me．He stared at me for a moment．Then very carefully, he picked me up with finger and thumb and looked at me．I was now twenty meters high in the air, and I hoped he would not decide to throw me to the ground．I did not struggle, and spoke politely to him, although I knew he did not understand any of my languages．He took me to the farmer who soon realized that I was not an animal, but a bright being．He carefully put me in his pocket and took me home to show to his wife．When she saw me, she screamed and jumped back in fear, perhaps thinking I was an insect, but in a little while she became used to me and was very kind to me．

                                               — From Gulliver’s Travels
