    Children learn quickly. Research shows that fast brain development occurs in children younger than three years of age. Everyday parental activities such as reading, singing, and others can play a very important role in a child’s healthy development. Experts (专家) suggest that the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for success in reading is reading aloud to children. This is especially so during the preschool years.
    While listening to stories read from a book, children learn at a young age that the letters on the page are connected to the words in our spoken language. They also become familiar with the language in books. Parents help children develop a lifelong love for books by reading aloud stories from books.
    Reading aloud to children when they are young can help their understanding of the world in which they live. They can "travel" the world through the pages of books. Consider the example of Anthony, whose mother has read to him since birth. She says, "His first visit to the zoo was a journey of rediscovery. " Rediscovery? Yes, although Anthony was seeing zebras, lions, giraffes, and other animals for the first time, he had already been introduced to them. His mother further explains, "Anthony has become familiar with countless people, animals, objects and ideas, all between the covers of books, in his first two years of life. "
    When parents take the time to hold their children in their arms and read to them, the message is clear; "I love you. " Phoebe, a mother in Canada, said of reading to her son, now eight years old, "My husband and I feel that this has helped Nathan to feel close to us. He is open to us and often tells us what he is feeling. It has made a special connection. "
The underlined word "economize" in paragraph 3 means______.
选项 A、to meet energy crisis
B、to find other forms of fuel
C、to improve cooking methods
D、to use carefully without waste
答案D
解析 猜测词义题。题干意为“第三段中下划线单词‘economize’的意思是——。”第三段第三、四句提到由于能源危机的发生，木头变得很昂贵，得到它很困难。由于当时没有其他的替代物可以代替木材，所以人们只能想办法去“节省”木材。故D为正确答案。
