问题     It’s the bedtime ritual every parent dreads—being asked to read the same book for the umpteenth(无数次的)time.

When researchers returned a week later, they found the children who heard the same story over and over had【C5】______learned 3.6 of the new words. Those that were exposed to a【C6】______of stories remembered only 2.6.
    They also noted the "repetition" group learned at a【C7】______rate than those in the "diversity" group. Dr. Horst said:"We are showing that less is more, to a point. Obviously, the more times you read to a child and the more books you have will help them. But you don’t need to go【C8】______and buy every single Thomas the Tank Engine book. Reading the same books over and over again helps. "
    Previous studies have found parents spend just 49 minutes doing things with their children each day. One in three don’t read to their children before【C9】______them to bed at night. Yet 30 minutes of one-on-one【C10】______sessions can improve reading age by nearly two years in less than five months.
