THE ART WORLD
One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist In effect, a market must be created for an artist to be successful The practice of signing and numbering individual prints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth century artist best known for the painting of his mother, called "Arrangement in Grey and Black", but known to most of us as "Whistler’s Mother" Whistler’s brother-in-law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well-known artist, had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that there were only a limited number of copies produced By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print
(4)Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice Indeed, prints have been signed within image, in any of the margins, or even on the reverse side of the’print Wherever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition
Question 30:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A Whistler’s Mother B Whistler’s Greatest Works C The Practice of Signing Prints D Copying Limited Edition Prints Question 31:What made Whistler’s work more valuable?

(5)Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified syntax, short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words.
More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is
observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that are necessary if they are to acquire aural language
Babies obviously derive pleasure from sound input, too; even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaic meaning that it often is for adults Question 35: The passage mentions all of the followings as the ways adults modify their speech when

B To explain how babies distinguish between different nonhuman sounds C To give examples of typical toys that babies not like
