Children start out as natural scientists, instinctively eager to investigate the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy—there is no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a career. The children asked me "textbook questions" about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering , we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, "Now that we’ve finished your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?
After a long period of pause, a boy raised his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?"
This caused a series of questions and discussions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past three decades have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for a response, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children respond with more logical, complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child engaged in a science discussion, don’t jump in with "That’s right" or "Very good". These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, "That’s interesting" or " I’d never thought of it that way before," or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never urge a child to think. It doesn’t make sense, as children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so he will be a smaller target for your disapproval.
Lastly, show, don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can extract from a book or a television program. Let them look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass, and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop. Thus, children will get a better comprehension of what they have observed.
Which of the following skills does the writer not mention when the adults want to have children enjoy science?
选项
A、The adults should tell their children what to do and how to do.
B、The adults should offer their children the chance to see things for themselves.
C、The adults should give more time for the children to think before their answering.
D、The adults should encourage their children to ask questions of their own.
答案
A
解析
排除法。通读全文之后可以发现作者在最后一段提到了B的技巧,在第四段提到C项的技巧。第一、二、三段作者提出了应该鼓励孩子们提问他们自己遇到的各种问题,这样可以得出合题意的选项是A。最后一段中有相关的论述 Don’t tell。

“引力波”,听名字给人一种曼妙舞动的韵律之美,爱因斯坦在广义相对论中曾描述“引力波以光速迅速扩散,充满整个宇宙”。引力是由于质量引发的时空扭曲所造成,任何有质量的物体加速运动都会对周围的时空产生影响,时空在伸展和压缩的过程中会产生振动,这些振动就是引力波。
