英语四级考前10天冲刺试卷及答案一

　　Story Reader Video Plus isnt a video game, technically, and Publications International bills the Story Reader line more as electronic books than toys. This reassures many parents, and its why Story Reader is sold in bookstores and in the book section of major retailers.

　　What about the Educational Underpinnings of Story Reader?

　　Studies show an alarming decline in reading rates among all age groups in America, especially among the young.

　　Children are bombarded on a daily basis with multiple forms of entertainment that compete with traditional learning.

　　Kids naturally emulate the adults in their lives, and seeing their parents and other family members enjoy reading is a powerful motivator. Establishing and keeping a Read-At-Home Night helps families spend time together and helps form lifelong reading habits in children.

　　Heres how you do it:

　　 Set aside one night a week in your household and call it Read-At-Home Hour--or anything you prefer. Establish a time allotment that works for your family, for example, 30 minutes or an hour.

　　 Minimize interruptions from the TV, computer, and video games--and turn on the telephone answering machine.

　　 Choose one book for the entire family to read aloud together, or encourage individual family members to choose their own books to read quietly. Electronic books can work in this context, as well.
