After buying a ticket, he went on board the ship.The first day he did not get up until breakfast was over. At lunch time, he kept out of the way. By the time of dinner, however, he became so hungry that he could even have eaten paper. “I can’t stand this any longer,” he said to himself, “I must have something to eat.” At the dinner-table he ate everything put in front of him. Then he said to the waiter, “Bring me the bill.” “The bill?” said the waiter in surprise. “Yes,” answered Tim. “There isn’t any bill here,” said the waiter, “On this ship meals are already included in the ticket.”5.How much money did Tim have with him?

A. He didn’t have enough money for a ticket.
B. He didn’t have enough money for food.
C. He had only enough money for food.
D. He had only enough money for a ticket.

Less is more when it comes to helping children learn new vocabulary from picture books, and too many pictures hinder children learning new words in storybooks, according to a new study. While publishers look to produce ever more colorful and exciting texts to entice(怂恿) buyers, University of Sussex psychologists(心理学家) have shown that having more than one illustration(插图)per page results in poorer word learning among preschoolers(学龄前儿童). The findings present a simple solution to parents and nursery teachers for some of the challenges of pre-school education and could help in the development of learning materials for young children. One expert said: “Luckily, children like hearing stories, and adults like reading them to children. But children who are too young to read themselves don’t know where to look because they are not following the text. This has a dramatic(引人注目的) impact on how well they learn new words from stories.” The researchers read storybooks to three-year-olds with one illustration at a time. They found that children who were read stories with only one illustration at a time learned twice as many words as children who were read stories with two or more illustrations. In a follow-up experiment, researchers added a simple hand swipe gesture to guide the children to look at the correct illustration before the page was read to them. They found this gesture was effective in helping children to learn words when they saw two illustrations across the page. This suggests that simply guiding children’s attention to the correct page helps them focus on the right illustrations, and this in turn might help them concentrate on the new words. 5.Children who were read stories with only one illustration at a time learned words ______ than the children who were read stories with two or more illustrations.

A. as many as
B. two times
C. less
D. two times less Keys:
