Exercise 1. Read the passage and choose the correct answer for each question.
Of course, we all think our children are the best and brightest in the class, but have you ever seriously
thought that your child might be highly intelligent? Does he or she stand out in class as being far ahead
of his or her classmates? How can we be sure? Child psychiatrists and educationists have compiled a
profile of highly gifted children so that parents can have the opportunity to see for themselves which
characteristics are true for their own offspring and then take the appropriate steps. Have a look at the
profile below which we hope will help you to form a truer opinion of your own child's intelligence.
Firstly, these children have an unusually wide vocabulary, enjoy reading and show curiosity about the
world and what makes things work. Secondly, they are perfectionists, have the ability to work
independently and are interested in adult topics such as religion, war, and politics, and so on. Furthermore,
highly gifted children are sensitive, creative and adventurous. They have a good sense of humour and
usually have the ability to look on the bright side of a difficult situation. They often show a desire to
improve them and they dislike conforming just for the sake of it. Finally, they are self-confident -
especially in the company of adults - adaptable and responsible.
All of the above characteristics contribute to making up what is seen as a highly gifted child. If you feel
that your child shows this particular combination, then it is advisable to get in touch with one of the
organizations that exist to give guidance to parents where they will no longer feel "different” but, possibly
for the first time, on equal footing with their peers.

Question 3. Gifted children ______________.
A. are able to see the funny side of life

B. They parents know they are being looked after

Exercise 2. Read the passage and choose the correct answer for each question.
People appear to be born to compute. The numerical skills of children develop so early and so
inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth. Not
long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy – one plate, one knife,
on spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of nothing that they have placed five
knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware.
Having thus mastered addition, they move on the subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to expect that if
a child were secluded on a desert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a
secondgrade mathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.
Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has illuminated
the subtle forms of daily leaning on which intellectual progress depends. Children were observed as they
slowly grasped – or, as the case might be, bumped into – concepts that adults that for granted, as they
refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water pours from a short stout glass into a
tall thin one. Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a
pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total. Such
studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They
have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers – the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a
threeness that applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically
demanding than setting a table – is itself far from innate.
Question 1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Trends in teaching mathematics to children
B. The use of mathematics in child psychology
C. The development of mathematical ability in children
D. The fundamental concepts of mathematics that children must learn
Question 2. It can be inferred from the passage that children normally learn simple counting
________
A. soon after they learn to talk B. by looking at the clock
C. when they begin to be mathematically mature D. after they reach second grade in school
Question 3. The word “illuminated” is closest in meaning to ________
A. illustrated B. accepted C. clarified D. lighted
Question 4. The author implies that most small children believe that the quantity of water changes
when it is transferred to a container of a different _______
A. color B. quality C. weight D. shape
Question 5. According to the passage, when small children were asked to count a pile of red and
blue pencils they ___________
A. counted the number of pencils of each color
B. guessed at the total number of pencils
C. counted only the pencils of their favourite color
D. subtracted the number of red pencils from the number of blue pencils
