问题     If you could give anything in the world to your child, you might want to give a love of words. Young children who can express their feelings don’t have as many temper tantrums (发脾气). They also learn to control themselves using words. A two-year-old child reaches toward the oven (烤箱) door, then stops, tells herself, "Hot, hot," and turns away. Researchers call this "self-directed speech". It’s one of the ways children learn to do what’s right and not to do what’s wrong.
   With each new word, a child gains a broader view of the world. Early on, all four-legged animals are dogs or maybe cats. But new words change them into horses, cows, elephants, and zebras. Children who have a wealth of words have a wealth of ideas.
   By age four, the number of words a child understands tells us how easily that a child will learn to read in school. It even tells us how well she’ll be able to understand what she reads, and to express her ideas in writing later on.
   So, how do you give your child this wonderful gift? First of all, talk a lot. Talk when you’re feeding or preparing a bottle; talk when you’re doing the dishes or walking down the street. Second, do a lot of listening. Even before your child can speak clearly, ask questions and listen for answers. Assume (设想) that your child has ideas, and try to figure out what they are. Researchers have found a direct connection between the number of words a child knows and the number of words he hears, and especially the number of questions he is invited to answer.
   Third, read aloud every day. There are many reasons for reading aloud, but maybe the best is that books contain words; lots of new, different, interesting words. Here’s an exciting thing that happens when you read aloud every day: You begin to hear "book words" in your child’s speech. You’re walking down the street, and you see a pretty flower. "Look," you say, "a pretty flower. " "Actually," your child corrects, "it’s beautiful." Actually? Beautiful? That’s when you know you’ve truly given your child a love of words.
What is the main subject discussed in the text?
选项 A、Value of reading aloud to children.
B、Power of words in children’s growth.
C、Mind development of young children.
D、Ways to develop a love of reading in children.
答案D
解析 主旨题。短文谈论的是语言与孩子成长之间的关系，而作者的重心又放在家长让孩子爱上语言、培养孩子热爱语言的方式上，因为文章后半部分主要是作者的建议，因此“培养孩子热爱阅读的方式”([D]项)最能概括全文主旨。其余三项中，[A]、[B]两项都不完整，而[C]项在文中没有相应的内容表述。
