It’s wonderful when teenage dreams collie true after a lot of hard work．Ban Ki—Moon，foreign minister of the Republic of Korea，knows this only too well．He dreamt of being a diplomat(外交官)from a young age and now"the 63-year—old has become the world’s top diplomat．
On October 9，2006，UN Security Council appointed Ban to take the place of Secretary General
Kofi Annan．Next January he will become the first Asian to take the post in 35 years．
Bom into a pool"family in ROK，s Chungju，young Ban showed early talent at languages．In his
Senior 1 year he wrote an English book to help his classmates study．At 18 Ban WOn the first prize in  an English speaking eompetidon．This allowed him to travel to Washington and meet the former US President John F．Kennedy．“This was the moment when my dream began，”said Ban．
Ever since then Ban worked hard to keep his dream alive．After graduating from the top—ranking Seoul National University，he joined the foreign ministry and became its most industrious(勤奋的)worker．In 2004 he became the top diplomat in the ROK．
Ban，s down—to—earth efforts also gave him the ability to get along with everyone．After being  a diplomat for 36 years，he made many friends but no enemies．
But critics think his gentleness might make him ready to give in．They doubt whether he can take a strong stand on burning issue like the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s(DPRK，朝鲜)nuclear programme．
As the DPRK ll／mounced a successful nuelefltr test on October 9，2006，experts said the UN’s  new boss would be challenged by his first tough task．But Ban，who played a leading role in past nuclear talks with the DPRK，seems to have his own ideas．
“I understand the power of Tai Chi(太极)well，”said Ban．He’s ready to travel to Pyongyang
to talk its leaders into giving up nuclear weapons．
“Ban has a typical oriental style，mild but determined”says Yoon Young—Kwan former foreign minister  of  the ROK．“He may look soft from the outside。but inside he has strong views．’’
56.Ban Ki—Moon was allowed t0 meet former US President John F．Kennedy because——．

B.Soft ways are  often the best to deal with intense conflicts．

D．Ban Ki—Moon became the world’S top diplomat at the age of 60

B
How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue SO well?When we compare them
With adults learning a foreign language，we often find this interesting fact．A little child without
knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language．A grown—up person with fully developed mental powers，in most cases，may end up with a faulty and inexact corflllland．What accounts for tllis difference?
Despite other explanations。tlle real answer in my opinion hes partly in the child himself，partly in the  behaviour of the people around him．In the first place，the time of learning the mother tongue  in the most favorable of all，namely，the first years of hfe．A child hears it spoken from morning till night and，what is more important，always in its genuine form，with the right pronunciation，rightIntonation，right use of words and right structure．He drinksin all the words and expressions which come  to him in a hsh．ever—bubbhng spring．There is no resistance：there is perfect assimilation．
Then the child has，as it were，private lessons all the year round，while an adult language—
student has each week a limited number of hours which he generally shares with others．The child
has another advantage：he hears the language in all possible situations，always accompanied by the
right kind of gestures and facial expressions．Here there is nothing unnatural，such as is often found
In  language lessons in schools，when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January  And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him．Again and again，when his attempts at speech a聪successful，his desires are understood and fulfilled．
Finally，though a child’S“teachers”may not have been trained in language teaching，their re-
lations with him are always close and personal．ney take great pains to Inske their lessons easy．
60．’rhe main idea of the passage is——．
A．to tell why the native language is learnt SO well by children
B．to teach children to learn their lllothei"language we
C．to show that children’S teacher should take great p8ins to make their lessons easy
D．to do research into the difference between children and adults

As school fl,tats again，there’s SO much mole for an American parent to nag(唠叨)about，like
homework，bedtime and lost hours on the Intemet．But in the age of digital childhood，Jacky Long-well，45，of McLean，Virginia，often text—messages(发短信)what she OnCe told her children bymouth_"Be nice to your brother；walk the dog；remember your reading．
This is the world of the modem family，in which even reminding children to do something has
become electronic．
There  are changes in how parents nag and in what they nag about and in the frequency of their
nagging．
With technology，“you nag more，and you are a little bit more：precise with your nagging．’’said
Reginald  Black，46，of Woodbridge，Virginia．
For many young people，electronic nagging is part of the experience of growing up．Charles Flowers，17，131．$enior at St．John“College High School in Washington．says his mothel-reminds him about everything from laundry，being Oil time to baseball practice and mowing the lawn by text．
When she uses capitals he knows she is serious：GET HOME!
Some say technology has made nagging less annoying．
Jaeky Longwell thinks texts ale less emotional than spoken messages and less likely to be resisted by teenagers．
It’s not as painful for them to hear it by text．It becomes grouped with the friendly communication，”she said．“They can’t hear the nagging．”
She thinks a good way to do it is to mix friendliness with nagging．A parent Call always start by
saying hello．
Not all parents like the new electronic r,agging．Joyce Bouehard，51，a mother of four in Fairfax，Virginia，texts her 14一year—old son but says that for many  things — chores，homework— the
old—fashioned way works better．Nagging by text has risks，she notes：I always think，if you are texting them something and they are with their friends，they ale getting a big laugh out of it．’’
