WHAT CHILDREN REMEMBER Whether it’s holidays, great days out or lazy days at home, you hope your children will retain happy memories of their childhoods But often their treasured recollections don’t match parental expectations Take my exasperated friend Sarah Back on the train after a day at both the Natural History and the Science museums with three children under 10, she asked: ‘So what did you all learn?’ That if I bang my head on something hard, it’s going to hurt,’ came the reply from her six-year-old daughter Roaring dinosaurs and an expensive lunch had little impact, but the bump on a banister was destined to become family legend After I’d helped out on a school trip to Tate Modern art gallery, the teacher told me that three of my five-year-old charges drew the escalators as their most memorable bit of the day ‘On a zoo trip, Luca liked the caterpillar best,’ says my friend Barbara ‘Forget lions, giraffes and gorillas What made the most impression (and what he still talks about five years later) is the time he found a caterpillar at the zoo." Page of Food features large in other children’s memories "Did you like going on the plane? " a friend asked her three-year-old daughter after her first flight I liked the crisps,’ came the reply Four years on, another friend’s daughter still remembers Menorca for the tomato-flavoured crisps and Pembrokeshire for the dragon ice cream (ice cream in a dragon-shaped pot) Last summer, Janey and her husband took their three children on a three-week train trip around Europe "We wanted to open their minds to the joys of travel and experiencing different cultures," she says "But the high point for them was the Mickey Mouse-shaped ice cream That was in Rome I wonder whether the Coliseum made any sort of impression." But parenting expert Suzie Hayman is reassuring "I think food figures high in everybody’s memories," she says I just have to think of hot chocolate and I’m transported back to Paris Adults tend to be less direct or simply try hard to come up to other people’s expectations The important thing is that you give your children lots of stimulation If you visit a museum, you can convey your appreciation for something Just don’t expect them to share it It’s all about laying out the buffet and letting children pick What children want most is you - your attention, your approval, your time They may prefer the box to the present, but you’re still giving them variety for their memory pool It’s also important that they don’t grow up expecting that nappy times only equate with spending money on expensive days out." My nine-year-old has a memory theory: the more uncomfortable the bed, the better the holiday So sleeping on bathroom floors and bending Z-beds make for a fantastic time and fluffy pillows and soft mattresses (more expensive) equal boring This is one unexpected memory I plan to nurture for years to come The writer's purpose in the article is to point out A how difficult it is for children to remember the kind of things that adults remember B how annoying children's memories Of past events can be for adults C how happy children's own memories of past events make them feel D how different children's memories are from what adults want them to remember What all of the memories mentioned in paragraph have in common?

A They should not expect their children to enjoy the same things that they enjoy B They should not take their children on expensive days out C They should not pay attention to what their children can remember the most D They should not take their children to places that will not interest them Page of It can be inferred frorn paragraph that the writer thinks her child's memory theory A is different from that of other children B has an advantage for the writer C makes logical sense to the writer D is something that she shares with her child Reading 2: INTERNET JOBS Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work online Of course, there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new media has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical expertise Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of webmaster However, it is hard to define one basic job description for this position The qualifications and responsibilities depend on what tasks a particular organization needs a webmaster to perform To specify the job description of a webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software that the website the webmaster will manage is running on Different types of hardware and software require different skill sets to manage them Another key factor is whether the website will be running internally (at the firm itself) or externally (renting shared space on the company servers) Finally, the responsibilities of a webmaster also depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will provide people to help All of these factors need to be considered before one can create an accurate webmaster job description Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest computer applications However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional skills remain in high demand Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a "new media" The term "new media" is difficult to define because it encompasses a constantly growing set of new technologies and skills Specifically, it includes websites, email, Internet technology, CD-ROM, DVD, streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia presentations, e-books, digital music, computer illustration, video games, virtually reality, and computer artistry Additionally, many of today’s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions With many companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the outsourcing and contracting of freelance workers online has become common business practice The Internet provides an infinite pool of buyers from around the world with whom freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country of residence How much can a person make in these kinds of career? As with many questions related to today’s evolving technology, there is no simple answer There are many companies willing to pay people with technical Internet skills salaries well above $70,000 a year Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000 per year, but salaries can vary greatly Freelance writers working online have been known to make between $40,000 and 70,000 per year What is the purpose of the passage? A To inform people about the tasks and the roles of a webmaster B To inform people about employment related to the Internet Page of C To inform people about the computer industry D To explain why webmasters make a lot of money The word "identify" in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A name B corrupt C encounter D interface According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE of webmasters?
