D
When my son was just learning to talk, I carried him around the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock” He’d smile and point as I did and say “clock”. David was quick at connecting the shape of things to their words. When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something.”
As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and looked at the ants curiously..
For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look.
Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt I should encourage his enthusiasm for observation when he was a boy . That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a child’s enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we provide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.
13. The author wrote the passage to __________. A. recall the happy times he spent with his son B. tell us that children are full of curiosity C. tell us how to let children love nature
D. advise us to develop children’s interest or talent 14. The author showed David the ants to _______. A. prevent him from becoming bored
B. develop his enthusiasm for observation C. teach him some new words
D. arouse his interest in creatures

Is your back bothering you, and are you wondering how to get rid of your back pain? If the phrase “Ouch, my back!” is a regular part of your life, you’re not alone: 65 million Americans have back pain. 16 Stand Better
Standing for long periods can be stressful on your lower back. If you have to stand for work, try placing one foot on a stool or other low objects. 17 . This will help take the pressure off your lower back. Wearing cushioned shoes or standing on a think rubber mat can also help relieve pressure when you have to stand for long hours.
Start Exercise Gradually
18 But if you’ve been inactive for a while, start slowly. Begin with a low-impact exercise such as walking ,stationary biking, or swimming for about 30 minutes a day. Adding gentle stretching or yoga may also help your muscles.
Sit Comfortably
If your job requires you to sit for long periods, make sure your chair has a straight back, an adjustable seat, and armrests. 19 If you need extra support, place a rolled towel behind the lower part of your back. Resting your feet on a low stool can also help ease back pain when sitting.
Choose the Best Sleep Position Sleeping on your side is the most common sleeping position. Placing a small pillow between your knees helps keep the back in a good position.
