Children come to reading in different ways over different periods of time. 【B1】Still, there is much parents can do to help their kids develop and enjoy a lifelong interest in reading.
Start with books that appeal to you. 【B2】Until you discover what your child likes to read, select books that you loved when you were small and new stories that strike your imagination. Visit you local library and ask the children's librarian to suggest authors and titles kids love.
Make reading routine.【B3】To get your child hooked on reading, set aside a regular time each day to enjoy a book together. Fifteen to thirty minutes is fine-or whatever it takes to read a whole story or chapter. That's enough time to give the young reader a chance to settle down, focus-and enjoy.
Make good reading behavior. Your child watches you when you read. 【B4】If you don't seem to be enjoying yourself, you're sending a message that reading isn't much fun. No matter how tired you are, try not to drone. Put your heart into reading! Let the actor in you emerge! If you sound bored, you can't expect your child to be interested.
Borrow or buy books whenever possible. Get into the habit of taking your children to the library and try to fill bookshelves at home. Give a book for every birthday and holiday. Encourage friends and relatives to do the same. 【B5】When you go out shopping and your child asks for something, buy a book. They're cheaper than toys and a far better investment in your child's future.
Still, there is much parents can do to help their kids develop and enjoy a lifelong interest in reading.

Now comes July, and with it examinations; but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year.Boys and girls have nearly two months’ holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.
The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children.The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of one’s time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields.Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play.
The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside.Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.
In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.
Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside？ I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things.Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one’s feet, of salt water on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s back that makes the seaside what it is.
1.Summer holidays start _________.

Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science, but their form. and function, their dimensions and appearances were determined by technologists, artisans, designers, inventors, and engineers-using nonscientific modes of thought. Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about can't be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in the mind by a visual, nonverbal process. In the development of Western technology, it has been nonverbal thinking, by and large, that has fixed the outlines and filled in the details, and rockets exist not because of geometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the minds of those who built them.
The creative shaping process of a technologist's mind can be seen in nearly every artifact that exists. For example, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might impress individual ways of non-verbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of tightness and fitness. What would be the shape of the combustion chamber？ Where should be the valves played？ Should it have a long or short piston？ Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirements, by limitations of available space, and not least by a sense of form. Some decisions, such as wall thickness and pin diameter, may depend on scientific calculations, but the nonscientific component of design remains primary.
Design courses, then, should be an essential element in engineering curricula, nonverbal thinking, a central mechanism in engineering design, involves perceptions, the stock-in-trade of the artist, not the scientist. Because perceptive processes are not assumed, to entail "hard thinking", nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in the development of cognitive processes and inferior to verbal or mathematical thought. But it is paradoxical that when the staff of the Historic American Engineering Record wished to have drawings made of machines and isometric views of industrial processes for its historical record of American engineering, the only college students with the requisite abilities were not engineering students, but rather students attending architectural schools;
If courses in design, which in a strongly analytical engineering curriculum provide the background required for practical problem-solving, are not provided, we can expect to encounter silly but costly errors occurring in advanced engineering systems. For example, early models of high-speed railroad cars loaded with sophisticated controls were unable to operate in a snowstorm because a fan sucked snow into the electrical system. Absurd random failures that plague automatic control systems are not merely trivial aberrations; they are a reflection of the chaos that results when design is assumed to be primarily a problem in mathematics.
In the passage, the author is primarily concerned with______.
A．identifying the kinds of thinking that are used by technologists
B．stressing the importance of nonverbal thinking in engineering design
C．proposing a new role for nonscientific thinking in the development of technology
D．criticizing engineering schools for emphasizing science in engineering curricula

Rodney Mace, 35, is married with two young children, and is a part-time teacher of architectural history. "I am constantly surprised by other people's surprise, when they come to the house and see me cleaning a floor or hanging out the washing. Their eyes open wide at the sight of it! Much of the comment comes from men, but I am even more surprised at the number of women who comment too."
His wife Jane, an Oxford graduate in modern languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House literacy scheme for adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in sole charge of home and family. Apart from this, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers is his principal work: writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in the British Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton.
People ask the Maces if they think that their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to reserve time and energy to play with their children. "And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children."
Previously, Rodney Mace worked full - time and Jane only part-time. Then 18 months ago, the director of the literacy scheme left. "It seemed to me that Jane was very' well suited to do this job. She was very doubtful about it. But I urged her to apply. She did, and she got it." Jane Mace confirms that she needed this encouragement, as so many women initially do.
Did his male ego suffer from the changeover？ Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it changed his thinking. "I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief. I wasn't avoiding responsibility, but changing it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us——I think for all of us, in every aspect of our lives. I cannot overemphasize that in every aspect. I think it is fundamental that the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is an illusion if one partner doesn’t work."
The article is about a couple whose married life is happier because _______.
A．they have a truly equal partnership
B．the husband enjoys staying at home
C．they earn more money
D．the wife has a full-time job
