in a dictionary, and do you understand all the (45) _ the dictionary contains? Can you make notes quickly and can you understand them (46) _? For some reason, many schools give learners no (47) with these matters Teachers ask students to memorize pages from books, but don’t explain (48) _ to do it Learning by heart can be useful but it

47 A teaching B ability C instruction D help
49 A information B success C understanding D attention
II Read this passage carefully and then choose the best answers to the questions below by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C or D (0.5 point)
In today’s competitive world, what kinds of parents would not want to give their children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future
No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent The truth may even be the opposite Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects Ten-month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age Time is too precious to spend with a “mouse” Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards

53 The author implies that children learn better _
A after they have developed hand-eye coordination.

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in teaching and learning Many schools have bought television sets intending to use them effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used properly in classrooms Meanwhile, children spend the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist
