Part IV Short Answer Questions 15 minutes
Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or
incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the
questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words not
exceeding 10 words.
As researchers learn more about how children’s intelligence develops
they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents. The power of the
school has been replaced by the home. To begin with all the factors which
are part of intelligence—the child’s understanding of language learning
patterns curiosity—are established well before the child enters school at
the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins
children’s achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by
teachers. This is particularly true about learning that is language-related.
The school rather than the home is given credit for variations in achievement in
subjects such as science.
In view of their power it’s sad to see so many parents not making the
most of their child’s intelligence. Until recently parents had been warned
by educators who asked them not to educate their children. Many teachers
now realize that children cannot be educated only at school and parents
are being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters
school.
Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home. Of
course children shouldn’t be pushed to read by their parents but educators
have discovered that reading is best taught individually—and the easiest
place to do this is at home. Many four and five-year-old who have been
shown a few letters and taught their sounds will compose single words of
their own with them even before they have been taught to read.

S1. What have researchers found out about the influence of parents and the school on children’s intelligence?
S2. What do researchers conclude about children's learning patterns?

S4. Why did many parents fail to make the most of their children's intelligence?
S5. The author suggests in the last paragraph that parents should be encouraged to ________
