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 30 What would be an appropriate title for this passage?

make the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42 Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills so only imperfectly To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized 35 We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because A writing is secondary to language B human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years C it has become very important in our culture D people have been writing since there have been human beings 36 The author of the passage argues that A speech is more basic to language than writing B writing has become too important in today’s society C everyone who learns to speak must learn to write D all languages should have a written form 37 According to the passage, writing _ A is represented perfectly by speech B represents speech, but not perfectly C developed from imperfect speech D is imperfect, but less so than speech 38 Normal human beings _ A learn to talk after learning to write B learn to write before learning to talk C learn to write and to talk at the same time D learn to talk before learning to write 39 Learning to write is _ A easy B quick C not easy D very easy 40 In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of _ A people who learn the rudiments of speech B severely handicapped children C intelligent people who couldn’t write D people who speak many languages 41 In the author’s judgment, A writing has more advantages than speech B writing is more real than speech C speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does D speech is essential but writing has important benefits 42 The word “advantage” in the last paragraph most closely means _ A “rudiments” B “skill” C
