26、A new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn.

"Even if companies are marketing them as educational, they're not teaching the babies anything at this time," said Anna Sosa the study's author.

Researchers listened to audio(声音的) recordings of parents playing with their babies aged 10 months to 16 months. The researchers compared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys, traditional toys such as blocks, or when the children looked at books. What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys.

Why is this important? Research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys, such as blocks, parents shared the names and descriptions of the animals, colors and shapes as their children played. There was even more information given by parents as their babies looked at the pictures in books.

Of course, there is no need for parents to throw out electronic toys, but they should look at their infants’ play with such toys as entertainment, not a learning experience.

Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study. She said it is important that parents make time to play with their children. "Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not only cognitive(认知的) skills, but social and developmental skills," she said. She added that play should be balanced, including time for just "make believe" activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.

【1】What’s Anna Sosa’s attitude towards companies claiming that their toys are educational?

A. supportive   B. indifferent   C. uninterested   D. doubtful

【2】We can learn from the text that babies in the research ________.

A. liked traditional toys better than electronic toys

B. interact less with their parents when playing with electronic toys

C. talked little with their parents when playing with electronic toys

D. listened to audio recordings of their parents

【3】Children develop language more quickly when their parents ________.

A. read them picture books often   B. teach them how to speak

C. buy them a lot of toys   D. throw away their electronic toys

【4】According to Adrienne Appell, playing ________.

A. can’t take the place of learning

B. shouldn’t take most of children’s time

C. is good to children’s overall development

D. can’t develop children’s cognitive skills

27、Students of all ages might have more on their minds now than ever before — from work, to school to all of the other distractions (分心的事物) pulling at them. So how can they be expected to concentrate, focus and memorize the educational materials they have in front of them each night? 【1】 But fortunately, here are some tips on how you can maximize your memory, focus and concentration.

【2】 Seems like a no-brainer, but keeping an extra piece of paper nearby when you are in class or at home will allow you to keep a note of what you just learned. By transforming those moments into your own, they will have more meaning to you.

Review regularly. Just think about how much information you look at or listen to in a typical day. That’s why you need to give yourself a daily time set aside just for reviewing. 【3】

Don’t multitask. If you are on the computer or have your phone nearby, you may try to multitask. In addition to doing your work, you may want to send emails, update your Facebook page or look at other websites. DON’T! 【4】 And complete your study in a shorter amount of time with longer lasting results.

Chop up for memory. 【5】 It’s logical that a smaller piece of knowledge is easier to remember than a large block of information.

A．It’s really difficult.

B．Write more things down.

C．Put your focus on the one thing you are studying.

D．Understand the information so that you can remember it in a shorter time.

E．Another way to help your memory is to break information into smaller pieces.

F．Keep your tasks at hand and memorize some key information whenever you have free time.

G．You can take 10 to 15 minutes to look over your notes and any material that you were given.
