Language Acquisition Regardless of culture or language, children around the world tend to go through the same stages when first developing their ability to speak. Initially, children practice communication through "conversations" with those close to them, usually a parent, sibling, or caregiver. In the course of daily 4
  5. Điểm bằng số Điểm bằng chữ Chữ ký G.khảo Chữ ký G.khảo Số phách Số T.tự bài thi [ activities and routines, children first express themselves through two modes of communication: gestures and sounds. As a child continues to develop, the motions and sounds he or she uses become more complex until finally the child is able to express intended messages through speech and gestures. The first sounds and gestures a child makes are used in reference to his or her immediate surroundings. This stage of communication can typically be observed between six and eighteen months of age. Starting with basic gestures, most often pointing, children indicate their intentions or show that they recognize familiar objects. These gestures are later accompanied by sounds, approximations of simple words that the child hears often in routine household interactions. Refined through copious repetition, some of these sounds eventually become recognizable as words. For example, when the family dog enters the room, a child might point and say "doddie," trying to replicate the sounds of "dog" or "doggie," that other family members so often say. Interestingly, at this point, the child does not yet realize that "dog" refers to a type of animal rather than just the family pet. As the child grows older and uses the word more frequently, the more general application of the word becomes clear, and the child will begin to demonstrate appropriate usage of the word. From eighteen to twenty-four months of age, children continue to refine and add to their store of sounds and words. The words used at this stage are mainly nouns, such as the names of people around them, or verbs that refer to their ability to interact in the environment, such as "give," "take," and "go." Their speech is very concrete and focused on phenomena that make a strong sensory impression, as one might expect from children still in what Piaget called the sensorimotor stage of cognitive development. During this stage, children continue to add content and meaning to their speech, particularly by moving from one-word utterances like "doggie," to multi-word strings such as, "doggie go." As the complexity of a child's speech increases, the number of gestures that accompany the speech also increases. In fact, researchers have noted that the lengths of a child's verbal and gestural expressions are similar. By two-and-a-half years of age, children can speak in sentences made up of several words. Furthermore, as children's verbal skills mature, so too do their gestures. These gestures are often used to support their verbal communication, to indicate recognition of an object, or to illustrate an object's function. For example, children at this stage of communicative development may mime actions, such as panting or barking, to show their recognition of "dog." Children's interactions with their conversation partners also change during this period. At this stage, children more often look at the person being spoken to rather than at the object of their gestures.  A) From the age of thirty months, there is an explosion in a child's ability to form sentences. In mere months, the child goes from limited short sentences of only a few words to adult-like complexity in the structure of their speech, such as responding to a question like, "Did you see the dog?" with the sentence, "Yes, I did see doggie."  B) In fact, the child's language develops so rapidly at this stage that it is difficult for researchers to describe the exact pattern of acquisition.  C) It is during this final stage that children acquire the majority of the grammar they need to communicate effectively in their first language. Interestingly, children seem able to systematically use grammar in their speech, as though they somehow realize the inherent rules behind different linguistic elements.  D) To recap, children all over the world go through the same basic stages of language acquisition, going from mere sounds at about six months to complete sentences by the age of three. This process is all the more interesting because it happens naturally, irrespective of any formal education. 5

Accepting the inevitable Paragraph 0: ____F______ Students who want to enter the University of Montreal's Athletic Complex need more than just a conventional ID card — their identities must be authenticated by an electronic hand scanner. In some California housing estates, a key alone is insufficient to get someone in the door; his or her voiceprint must also be verified. And soon, customers at some Japanese banks will have to present their faces for scanning before they can enter the building and withdraw their money. Paragraph 1: __________ All of these are applications of biometrics, a little-known but fast-growing technology that involves the use of physical or biological characteristics to identify individuals. In use for more than a decade at some high-security government institutions in the United States and Canada, biometrics are now rapidly popping up in the everyday world. Already, more than 10,000 facilities, from prisons to day- care centres, monitor people's fingerprints or other physical parts to ensure that they are who they claim to be. Some 60 biometric companies around the world pulled in at least $22 million last year and that grand total is expected to mushroom to at least $50 million by 1999. Paragraph 2: __________ Biometric security systems operate by storing a digitised record of some unique human feature. When an authorised user wishes to enter or use the facility, the system scans the person's corresponding characteristics and attempts to match them against those on record. Systems using fingerprints, hands, voices, irises, retinas and faces are already on the market. Others using typing patterns and even body odours are in various stages of development. Paragraph 3: __________ Fingerprint scanners are currently the most widely deployed type of biometric application, thanks to their growing use over the last 20 years by law-enforcement agencies. Sixteen American states now use biometric fingerprint verification systems to check that people claiming welfare payments are genuine. In June, politicians in Toronto voted to do the same, with a pilot project beginning next year. Paragraph 4: __________ To date, the most widely used commercial biometric system is the handkey, a type of hand scanner which reads the unique shape, size and irregularities of people's hands. Originally developed for nuclear power plants, the handkey received its big break when it was used to control access to the Olympic Village in Atlanta by more than 65,000 athletes, trainers and support staff. Now there are scores of other applications. Paragraph 5: __________ Around the world, the market is growing rapidly. Malaysia, for example, is preparing to equip all of its airports with biometric face scanners to match passengers with luggage. And Japan's largest maker of cash dispensers is developing new machines that incorporate iris scanners. The first commercial biometric, a hand reader used by an American firm to monitor employee attendance, was introduced in 1974. But only in the past few years has the technology improved enough for the prices to drop sufficiently to make them commercially viable. `When we started four years ago, I had to explain to everyone what a biometric is,' says one marketing expert. 'Now, there's much more awareness out there.' 7
  8. Điểm bằng số Điểm bằng chữ Chữ ký G.khảo Chữ ký G.khảo Số phách Số T.tự bài thi [ Paragraph 6: __________ Not surprisingly, biometrics raise thorny questions about privacy and the potential for abuse. Some worry that governments and industry will be tempted to use the technology to monitor individual behaviour. `If someone used your fingerprints to match your health-insurance records with a credit- card record showing you regularly bought lots of cigarettes and fatty foods,' says one policy analyst, 'you would see your insurance payments go through the roof.' In Toronto, critics of the welfare fingerprint plan complained that it would stigmatise recipients by forcing them to submit to a procedure widely identified with criminals. Paragraph 7: __________ Nonetheless, support for biometrics is growing in Toronto as it is in many other communities. In an increasingly crowded and complicated world, biometrics may well be a technology whose time has come. Your answers: 0. F 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
