大學英語四級作文范文解析(第一集)
1.有些人認為數字會帶來好運。
2.我認為數字和運氣無關。
Do “Lucky Numbers” Really Bring Good Luck?
Many people tend to believe that certain numbers can bring them good luck.In China, for instance, number 6 and 8 are universally regarded as the luckiest.The association of certain numbers with good wishes brings many people good feelings.So that’s why many people expect to meet these numbers in daily life and own them as telephone number, car plate number, and room number at the cost of extra charges.In my opinion, however, good luck has nothing to do with numbers.No evidence is available up to date for possible relation between lucky numbers and good luck.Without forceful evidence, hardly will I be convinced by the prevailing belief that lucky numbers will bring us luck.For one thing, if it were the case, there would be nobody who chooses to study and work hard.For another, there is no evidence showing that people with certain unlucky numbers have less chance of success.Conversely, facts show that success mostly derives from hard work.1.有人認為讀書要有選擇
2.有人認為應當博覽群書
3.我的看法
Reading Selectively or Extensively
Despite diversified sources of information in modern times, reading books still remains essential to the acquisition of knowledge.Some people, with cost-effective turn of mind, prefer selective reading in that, with purposeful reading, much of their time and energy will be saved and that it is almost unlikely to learn everything through unrestrained reading.Others strongly argue that it is wise to read extensively.They believe the changing world today requires wide range of knowledge.Hardly can any one make an unchanging choice as to what to read in the preliminary stage.With extensive and unselected books to read, they will feel safer to be employed on the one hand, and feel life more colorful on the other.Personally, I believe selective reading should be combined with extensive reading.As Francis Bacon stated, some books are to be chewed, some to be tasted and others swallowed.On the basis of “tasting” extensively, we may select books that are to our taste for “chewing”.1.現在有些不良的商業廣告
2.這些廣告的副作用和危害性
3.我對這些廣告的態度
My View on the Negative Effects of Some Advertisements
We must admit that there are unhealthy advertisements today via Internet, TV, radio, periodicals and newspapers, releasing to the public unreliable, harmful, and misleading information.They exaggerate functions or falsify facts of advertised products to lure customers to buy.To make matter worse, some advertisements are put with pictures and words inappropriate to adolescents.The side effects and threats of such unhealthy advertisements are well evident.In the first place, consumer’s right to know truth and the right to choose are violated and their property right
and personal right are undermined.The next side-effect is that innocent manufacturers of similar products will be affected due to side effects of unhealthy advertisement of similar products.Some other newspaper advertisements, as reported to be a new form of pollution, are printed with improper cases and curing effects for the so-called “adult drugs” which greatly embarrasses adults, misleads adolescents and disrupts social public interests.For the sake of relieving distrust of the public to advertisement industry, ensuring rights and interests of customers, and maintaining healthy development of all related industries, I’d like to strongly propose that more responsible procedures be gone through in strict accordance with laws and regulations to review every advertisement and ban without hesitation any unhealthy commercial advertisement.1.假冒偽劣商品的危害
2.怎樣杜絕假冒偽劣商品
My View on Fake Commodities
Nowadays, various fake commodities can be easily found in market, in particular in some underdeveloped areas.Like time bombs as some people put it, fake commodities infringes the rights and interests of qualified manufacturers and jeopardize physical health of consumers, and ultimately hinder overall development of the society.From time to time, news is reported that legal manufacturers have to resort to lawsuit against fake commodity manufacturers and dealers for infringing their lawful rights and interests of intellectual property.It is no exaggerating to say that one more day of existence of fake commodities means one more day of disorder of social economy and one more day of threat to consumers’ physical health.Measures have to be taken to fight against fake commodities and bring the rampant situation under control.The first way is to strictly execute applicable laws and regulations and perfect legislation.The next is to arouse our common understanding that fake commodities characterized by incredible low price are by no means a bargain for consumers and manufacturers, but a threat to our mutual interests.The role of local government will never be neglected in crackdown of manufacture and sale of fake commodities.Only when all the society have the same understanding of harmfulness of fake commodities and take uniform actions will fake commodities be effectively brought under control.

2,從聽力、閱讀部分的換算表可以看出,錯前兩分的時候,標準分扣分嚴重,1分扣10.5分,錯到第3分的時候,標準分扣分有所降低-7分,扣到10分以后,標準分扣分就更低(3分),可見,標準分換算目的是把同學的成績檔次拉開,讓特別優秀的同學脫穎而出,要想總分取得630分以上,必須保證很高的正確率,卷面扣的前幾分在標準分的權重相當大。這也就解釋了為什么考630分以上的同學這么少!據換算,要考630分,閱讀和聽力部分卷面每部分扣分在3分左右。
3,綜合測試的分數權重不大,卷面錯1分在標準分中扣的分也相對較少,而且完型填空題量大,得分率不高,在考場上建議大家不要把完型填空耗費掉太多的時間,得不償失!

第五篇:2012年6月大學英語四級考試答案
2012年6月大學英語四級考試答案
作文參考(A)Nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study.This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon.First, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling.Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching.Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it.As for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help students pay more attention to spelling.Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance.Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling.Only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.(B)What is hot for 2012 in our colleges? It is the spelling mistakes.Countless students lack due attention to spelling.Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list, the one may be “challenge”.Freshman and sophomore almost write this word as “challenge”.How careless they are!
Why such a phenomenon sweeps every university? Some experts attribute it to students’ inattention, because students always pay no attention to spelling.However, other experts argue, the teachers should be blamed for this situation.In my opinion, it is far beyond any reasonable doubt that both of them should exert themselves to change the spelling mistakes.As far as I’m concerned, I firmly argue that we need to attach great importance to word-spelling.To the students, they should write English as much as they can.Meanwhile, to the teachers, the dictations should be reinforced in the class.快速閱讀
1.A)her daughers' repeated complains 根據第一段最后一句”but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem.” 直到她的四個女兒不停的抱怨,她才意識到自己出了問題。
2.D)People haven't yet reached agreement on its definition 據第四段最后一句,對此,人們還未達成共識。3.C)can realize what is important in life 據第七段最后一句,”…can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals 鯊??茝???寛http://bulo.hjenglish.com/q/?版權所有滬江網寛???茝??鯊and plans…” 解決這個問題的辦法就是將生命中其他的目標和計劃擺到重要位置。4.A)it seriously affected family relationships 根據第十一段最后一句,”if it’s a loss…and family relationships are breaking down…it’s too much.” 5.C)depressed 根據第十五段第一句話,”People who struggle with excessive Internet use may be depressed…” 6.B)His family had intervened 根據倒數第五段,”he cut back only after a full-scale family intervention…”
7.B)curb his desire for online gaming 根據倒數第四段最后一句,”to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check.” 其中,keep … in check意為,“制止;控制”。8.had an Internet addiction 根據倒數第三段最后一句。9.professional help 根據倒數第二段最后一句,”I have no money or insurance to get professional help…”: 10.online dating 根據最后一段,”I have a boyfriend now, and I’m not interested in online dating.” 聽力
11.C)He cannot get access to the assigned book.由對話可知,該男士認為令他煩惱的是無論是在圖書館還是在書店他都找不到那本書,由此得出答案。get access to指“獲得,走近,接近,能夠利用某物”。
12.A)She will drive the man to the supermarket.由文中女士說她不喜歡別人開她的車以及” why don’t we go together?”可得知女士將開車與男士一同去超市。13.C)Tidy up the place.由文中” I guess it’s pretty obvious what you’ll be doing most of today”可知,很顯然她想讓他打掃房間。
14.A)The talks can be held any day except this Friday.本題考查one day is as good as the next的意思,該短語指的是任何一天都行。因此男士的意思是除了本周五,其它任何一天都可以。15.A)He understands the woman’s feelings.文中男士認為,” I’d feel that way too if I were you.”,“如果我是你的話我也會那樣(感到很生氣)。”因此她贊同女士的想法,表示理解女士的感受。16.D)She has to invite David to the party.從文中女士的話可得知,女士的母親執意要David去參加圣誕party,因此她不得不請David。
17.C)Many students find Prof.Johnson’s lectures boring.由男士的話可得知,很多同學如果課前沒喝咖啡的話,幾乎很難保持清醒狀態,忍不住犯困,也就是說學生們都覺得Prof.Johnson的課很無聊。
18.D)Assemble a computer.本文中主要是考assemble的意思,如果同學知道assemble意為“組裝,裝配”,便不難得出答案。”put a computer together”指“組裝電腦”。19.B)It requires him to work long hours.男士開頭便說”I have to work very long hours”,因此選B。20.D)It demands physical endurance and patience.女士問及工作哪個部分會比較難時,男士回答道他需要一直站著,同時在他們忙的時候,別人會變得易怒,也就是說這份工作需要體力和耐心。21.D)In a hotel.由文中” I wrote to about six hotels 耪???????http://bulo.hjenglish.com/q/?版權所有滬江網???????耪and one of them gave me my first job”可得出答案。22.B)Paying attention to every detail.由男士的回答” Attention to detail”可得知,B選項恰好與”attention to detail”同義。23.A)The pocket money British children get.原題為 What is the table of figures about? 意思是:這個表格是關于什么的?根據第一句話Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get? 我們可以知道這個表格是關于英國孩子的零花錢情況的。
24.C)It often rises higher than inflation.原題為What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money? 意思是:從對話中我們可以了解到有關英國孩子零花錢的哪些信息?原文中女性說話人說“Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation? ”意思是:“你覺得為什么零花錢通常要比通貨膨脹漲的更高呢?”據此我們可以判斷英國孩子的零花錢比通貨膨脹漲的更高,答案應選C.25.B)Pay for small personal things.原題為Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money? 對話中男性說話人說“…out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.”意思是“我希望他們用零花錢去買一些小的個人物品,但我不希望他們把錢存起來去買他們自己的短襪等”。據此我們可以判斷答案選B.26 A)District managers 該題比較簡單,文章開頭說到Alex期盼著與district managers的會議,因此正確答案為A項。27 D)The important part played by district managers 文章中提到在會議結束時,Alex打算以“the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company plans”來結束會議,可見他打算強調district managers在公司計劃中所起的重要作用。因此D項正確。B)Fifty percent of them were female 此題比較簡單,文章中后面說道“Half of our managers are women”,而參加會議的基本上都是那些district managers,由此可判斷,會議的聽眾有一半是女性,所以此題選B項。29 B)He was not gender sensitive 文章最后一句說這些女性district managers聽到Alex總用“he”來指代“district managers”感到surprised和distressed(痛苦的,苦惱的),由此可見Alex失敗的原因是由于他對于涉及到性別的用詞不夠敏感所造成的。C)Ask to see the manager politely but firmly 此題比較簡單,原文中提到在餐館遇到上錯菜時,應該“make a polite but firm request to see the manage”,和C項所說完全一致。31 D)You can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting
此題相對簡單,答案基本上是原句,“So you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting.” 32 D)Stick to the point 此題屬于原文再現,原文最后建議寫投訴信時,應當“be business-like and stick to the point”,即圍繞自己的要點來說,而不要說些無關緊要的廢話,因此應該選D項。33.B)Architect 從原文“Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing”可以得知。34.A)Do some volunteer work.從原文“If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week.”可以得知。35.C)A baby-sitter is no replacement for a mother.從原文“Tom does not think a baby-sitter can replace a mother”可以得知。36 curious

仔細閱讀 section A 文章大意:本文關注的是綠色建筑與對待現存房屋的問題。根據文意,所謂綠色建筑即為節能減排的建筑。綠色建筑在節能減排方面意義重大,但是將所有現存房屋替換成綠色建筑是否可行呢?文章給出的答案是不可行的,因為推倒這些房屋進行重建也需要大量能量。那么,如何處理這些能耗大的舊房屋呢?文末給出的建議是對它們進行整修和升級。47.G incredibly 首先這里需要的是一個副詞。根據文意,將這些房屋推倒代之以綠色建筑是極度浪費的。因此選incredibly.48.K replace
replace A with B, 意思是用B 替換A.這里是用綠色建筑取代現存房屋。49.J reduced 這一句話較難理解,翻譯成中文即:綠色建筑帶來的碳排放量的減少平均需要65年才能夠補償推倒房屋所用掉的能量。reduced, 這里用作形容詞,指減少了的。50.L sense in the broadest sense, 在最廣義上,這里是一個固定搭配。51.H powering
這里的and 引導的是平行結構,因此橫線上需要填入一個動詞的ing形式。在根據句意可知這里選powering,指為某物提供動力,使某物得以運行。52.D exceptions 聯系下文可知本段意思是老房子基本上是最不節能的。但話不能說得這么絕對,因此用 with some exceptions, 指除一些特殊情況外。53.E expand tiny cracks and gaps 指的是小的縫隙和缺口。小的縫隙和缺口隨著時間流逝,會擴大,從而使得外面空氣流入,因而加大了能耗。這里選expand表示擴展,增大。54.O vast a number of 表示大量的,number前面可加一些形容詞,如great等,表示數量極大的。這里填入vast,意為數量巨大的。55.F historic
句中有from……to……, 從什么到什么,聯系整句話,意思是從一些歷史上的古老建筑到你自己的戰后的房子。postwar 指二戰后,是一個較近的時間,與之對應的則是historic.56.I protect 首先,從句意判斷,可知這一分句仍是陳述為老房屋進行升級的好處。此外,后半句中有介詞from.據此我們可以判斷,此處應填入的詞是protect.Section B Passage 1 57.D)It is an indispensable device on an airplane.ward off指“避開,防止”。黑匣子并不能避免災難發生,因此C選項不正確。indispensable,不能缺少的,文中多次舉例黑匣子在事故發生后起到至關重要的作用,因此此選項正確。58.A)Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.本文第二段介紹了黑匣子在對于探尋Yemeni airliner墜毀原因上所起到的重大作用。由第二段第二行”the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong”以及后面由于法國一潛艇找到黑匣子這一發現”marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy”可以推斷出答案。
59.C)The early models often got damaged in the crash.文中第三自然段第三行,由”Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned…”可得知,1965年黑匣子重新設計的原因是之前的黑匣子在墜機時容易遭到破壞。withstand意為“承受,經受”。60.C)To make them easily identifiable.由文中得知黑匣子被漆成橙色或黃色的原因是” to aid visibility”。Visibility是visible的名詞形式,意為“能見度,可見度”,因此,漆成橙色或黃色主要是因為希望黑匣子可見度高,比較明顯,容易被發現,故選C。
61.A)There is still a good chance for their being recovered.作者舉出Air France Flight 447的例子主要是用來證明其前面的論點”When submerged, they’re also able to emit signals form depths of 20,000 ft.”意為黑匣子即使被埋于深處仍然能夠發射信號以被察覺。Air France Flight 447的黑匣子處于水下深處,但數據顯示他們仍能”turn up”(出現),即被探測人員發現。故選A。Passage 2 62.B)It is based on the concept of positive thinking 細節理解題
本題是問從文章第一段中我們能夠了解自我幫助產業的哪些情況。文章第一句就說自我幫助產業是建立在把消極思考轉化為積極思考的基礎之上,因此B項是正確的。雖然文章一開始雖然說自我幫助產業的規模有110億美元,但這只是說產業規模,并沒有提到該行業具有很高的利潤率,因此不能由此判斷A項就是正確的。文章中只說Norman Vincent是積極思考的倡導者,并沒有說該行業是由他創立的,因此C項不正確。第一段末尾作者就質疑積極思考是否真的有效,因此D項不是正確選項。
63.A)Encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good 細節歸納題
本題問加拿大研究學者的發現是什么,文章第二段提到他們發表的文章里說讓人們更積極地思考實際上會產生相反的效果,只會起到強調人們又多不開心的作用。后面又用實驗來說明了這個觀點,在文章的第三段和第五段也都再次說到積極思考會起到相反作用,使人們更不開心。因此本題選A項。
64.C)You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.細節理解題
本題問作者說“… you’re just underlining his faults”的含義是什么。文中前面說到有時說的過分,反而會讓人感覺更糟,然后又說告訴朋友有愛因斯坦那樣的潛能,自然會讓朋友感覺有點夸張,反而會覺得是在說自己不聰明。65.C)Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem 細節理解題
本題問從Wood的實驗中我們可以了解些什么。此題與63題有一定關聯。答案應在對實驗結果進行分析說明的段落來找,即文章的第五段。文章第五段說實驗者在被迫進行多次自我肯定后,自卑的情況并沒有得到改善,反而加重了。因此此題應該選C項。
66.B)Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy(心理治療)細節理解題
本題問從文章最后一段我們可以了解些什么,毫無疑問答案自然是在文章最后一段。在這一段里,作者說文章還推薦人們把靜思作為一種心理治療的方法,因此應當選B項。文章只是說靜思可以幫助人們學會接受自己的不足,把自己的不足放到更廣泛的層面去思考,但并沒有說靜思可以使人們避免犯錯誤。因此D項不正確。完型填空 67.B differ 選項中,常與from搭配的有differ和derive。根據上下文不難看出,上文先說的是電子商務與電話銀行等商務形式沒有本質區別,與下文”the difference lies in”(區別在于)相呼應。68.B via via fax:通過傳真 69.B used models used: 所采用的形式。選項中,appear為不及物動詞,此處應選填一個及物動詞的過去分詞作后置定語。70.B lies lie in: 在于 71.B of consist of: 由…組成 72.D selects select an item: 挑選商品 73.A sends in send in: 遞送;呈報 74.A visible visible: 看得見的;明顯的。網上購物時,商品目錄會在網上呈現在顧客眼前。75.B over 76.D allows 其中,admit做及物動詞時,一般作“允許進入;承認;可容納”解。allow sb to do,常用詞組,容許某人做某事 77.A after 78.D insignificant 與下文的mainstream相對應。79.C corporations 與下文businesses相呼應。80.D only 81.B later 注意,latter意為,“后面的,后者的”。82.D provided provide sb with sth,固定詞組,為某人提供某物。83.D besides besides意為,“此外,除此之外”。
84.A 珷眲蓿?慫??曮http://bulo.hjenglish.com/myfeed/?版權所有滬江網曮??慫?蓿眲珷and 順承關系,用and。85.C widespread 網上銀行流行起來了。widespread,分布廣泛的。86.A acquired acquire,及物動詞,意為,“獲得”。網上購物時,顧客能夠獲得更優質的商品和更周到的服務。
翻譯
87.(in)concentrating on the experiment/ focusing her attention on the experiment.本題考查兩個短語的用法,一個是have difficulty(in)doing sth,該短語中,后面的動詞要用現在分詞形式。第二個短語是集中注意力,與此對應的有多個短語,如:focus/fix one’s attention on, concentrate on。翻譯時需和前面短語的用法結合起來,把動詞變成ing形式。88.did she become angry/did she lose her temper before.本題考查neither的倒裝用法,以及發脾氣這個短語,發脾氣可以說become angry,也可以用lose one’s temper。89.being invited to attend the opening ceremony.本題考查look forward to的用法,后面要跟名詞或者動詞的ing形式,而且要注意后邊是被邀請所以要用被動語態。90.(should)be fixed/installed by the window 本題考查It is suggested that結構中主語從句中要用虛擬語氣的用法,即should + 動詞原形,should可以省略。
91.the strong opposition of her parents/ her parents’ strong opposition.本題考查despite的用法,注意despite是介詞,后邊應該跟名詞或者名詞短語。

M: Yes.I thought it was quite interesting, but I don’t quite understand the column entitled change.Can you explain what it means?

M: I am sorry I’ve no idea.Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.W: Perhaps they are.But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002.That’s strange, isn’t it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now.I wonder why that is.M: Yes, I don’t understand that at all.W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them? M: I don’t know.I think I’ll probably give them 2 pounds a week.W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it? M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money? M: Yeah, they do.Q23 What is the table of figures about? Q24 What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money? Q25 Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money? Passage 1 As the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers.Everyone arrived on time, and Alex’s presentation went extremely well.He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company’s plans.“I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of the market,” he began, “because of the quality of the people in this room.The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district.He sets the term for everyone else.If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example.” When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for.Later he spoke with one of the senior managers.“Things were going so well until the end”, Alex said disappointedly.“Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes”, the district manager replied.“Half of our managers are women.Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company’s growth.They don’t care at all about political correctness.But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as ‘he’ in your speech.”
Q26 Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting? Q27 What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his presentation? Q28 What do we learn about the audience at the meeting? Q29 Why did Alex fail to receive the warm response he had hoped for? Passage 2 The way to complain is to act business-like and important.If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager.When the manager comes, ask his or her name.And then state your problem and what you expect to have done about it.Be polite!Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere.But also be firm in making your complaint.Besides, act important.This doesn’t mean to put on airs and say “do you know who I am?” What it means is that people are often treated the way they expect to be treated.If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be granted, chances are it will be granted.The worst way to complain is over the telephone.You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you cannot see.So you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting.It is easy for that person to give you the run-around.Complaining in person or by letter is generally more effective.If your complaint doesn’t require an immediate response, it often helps to complain by letter.If you have an appliance that doesn’t work, send a letter to the store that sold it.Be business-like and stick to the point.Don’t spend a paragraph on how your uncle John tried to fix the problem and couldn’t.Q30 What does the speaker suggest you do when you are not served properly at a restaurant? Q31 Why does the speaker say the worst way to complain is over the telephone? Q32 What should you do if you make a complaint by letter? Passage 3 Barbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4.Her husband, Tom, is an engineer and makes an excellent salary.Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing.She quit her job when she became pregnant, but is now interested in returning to work.She's been offered an excellent job with the government.Her husband feels it's unnecessary for her to work since the family does not need the added income.He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children.If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week.Barbara, on the other hand, has missed the excitement of her profession and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volunteer work.She would also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for money whenever she wants to buy something.She does not think it's necessary to stay home every day with the children and she knows a very reliable babysitter who's willing to come to her house.Tom does not think a babysitter can replace a mother and thinks it's a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who's not part of the family.Q33 What was Barbara's profession before she had children? Q34 What does Barbara's husband suggest she do if she wants to work? Q35 What does Tom think about hiring a babysitter? Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in the school building, is smarter, more curious,less afraid of what he doesn't know, better at finding and figuring things out, more confident, resourceful, persistent and independent, than he will either be again in his schooling or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life.Already, by paying close attention to and interacting with the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and abstract than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years-he has solved the mystery of language.He has discovered it.Babies don't even know that language exists.And he has found out how it works and learnt to use it appropriately.He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by trying it out and seeing whether it works, by gradually changing it and refining it until it does work.And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the concepts that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.
