　　.閱讀理解

　　Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy

　　science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to

　　share your children's curiosity (好奇). Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me

　　“textbook questions” about schooling, salary (薪水) and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said，“Now

　　that we've finished with your lists,_do you have questions of your own about science？”

　　After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have

　　you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢)eat? When I try

　　eating leaves like that，I get a stomachache. Why？”

　　This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.

　　Secondly，give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that，after asking a question,

　　adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults

　　increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical(符合邏輯的), complete and

　　creative answers.

　　Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a

　　child involved in a science discussion，don't jump in with

　　“That's right” or “Very good”. These words work well

　　when it comes to encouraging good behaviour (行為).

　　But in talking about science，quick praise can signal that

　　discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying

　　“That's interesting” or “I'd never thought of it that way

　　before”，or coming up with more questions or ideas.

　　Never push a child to “think”. It doesn't make sense. Children are always thinking，without your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want，in as few words as possible，so that he will be a smaller target(目標)for your disagreement.
