41、航空公司在愚人节和大家开的玩笑,所以C项符合题意。D项有一定的干扰性,“度过愚人节的新方式”作为本文标题显然是过大了。CA new study has found that background noise in the home or at school makes it more difficult for toddlers (学步的儿童) to learn new words.“Learning words is an important skill,” notes Brianna McMillan, who led the study. “Modern homes are filled
42、 with TV, radio, and people talking that could affect how children learn words at early ages. Our study suggests that adults should know the amount of background speech in an environment when theyre talking with young children.”Most studies of word learning are done in quiet laboratory settings. Thi
43、s study focused on word learning but tried to make the noisy environments children may face at home and at school. In the study, 106 children aged 22 to 30 months took part in three experiments in which they were taught names for new things and then tested on their ability to recognize the things wh
44、en they were labelled (标注). First, toddlers listened to sentences featuring two new words. Then they were taught which things the new names referred to. Finally, the toddlers were tested on their ability to remember the words.In the first experiment, 40 toddlers (aged 22 to 24 months) heard either l
45、ouder or quieter background speech when learning the new words. Only toddlers who were in the quieter background speech successfully learned the words.In the second experiment, a different group of 40 toddlers (aged 28 to 30 months) were tested to see whether somewhat older children could better ove
46、rcome (克服) the effects of background noise. Again, only when background noise was quieter could the older toddlers successfully learn the new words.In the third experiment, 26 older toddlers were taught the meanings of two word labells in a quiet environment. Next, the toddlers were taught the meani
47、ngs of four word labells two they had just heard and two new ones. Toddlers were taught the meanings of all these labells in the right noisy environment that damnified learning in the second experiment. The children learned the new words and their meanings only when they had first heard the labells in a quiet environment.语篇解读:研究发现,在有响声的环境里学习会让学步的儿童学习词汇的效果打折扣。28What Brianna McMillan said in Paragraph 2 shows that _.Akids think it is important to learn wordsBparents sho
