"You shouldn't change who you are．Let people get to know you first and your name later．When you meet someone new，ask them a good question，something you're really interested in．Once people start talking about themselves，they don't judge you．"

They looked surprised．Then one said，"No one has ever asked us that!"
"Most of the time it's good，"the other said．"When you're a twin you always have someone to talk to and have lunch with．"
In no time we were laughing and talking．Then one of the brothers said，"I'm Nicholas，and this is my brother，Nathaniel．What's your name？"
I took a deep breath and said，"I'm Chelsea Chowderhead．"
"Chowder？Like the soup？"asked Nathaniel．
"Yes，"I replied，looking down．
"Hey，cool!Do you want to come over after school and play basketball with us？"Nathaniel asked．I nodded．And that is how I became friends with the twin brothers．

7．In 1958，Jean Berko Gleason，an American psycholinguist，created an experiment called the Wug Test．It investigated how children learn to make plural forms of nouns in English like cats，dogs，and horses．The children were shown imaginary words in the singular and asked to change the word into their plural forms．There are three ways of pronouncing the"s"that comes after plural nouns in English； it can be pronounced like/z/，/s/，or/iz/．The most common sound is the/z/sound like in dogs，then the/s/sound like in cats，then the/iz/sound like horses．
In the experiment，the child was presented with a picture of some kind of pretendcreature．He or she was told that the creature was a"wug"．The experimenter said，"This is a wug．"Another card was pulled out with another wug，and the experimenter said，"Now there are two of them．These are two…？"Children who understood the proper use of plural form for nouns ending with a"g"would say，"They are two wugs，"with a/z/sound．Very young children were often confused by this and said"Two wug．"Generally，children who were 4 years or older got the question right．The researchers also carried out several other experiments to create plural forms ending with the/s/sound and with the/iz/sound and found that children usually learned these rules later in their lives because they are not as common as the/z/sound plurals．
The Wug Test also included questions that explored a child's understanding of the proper use of verbs and the suing of the possessive，such as"This is Rob's bike．"Possessives are parts of grammar that show ownership．Also，the children were prompted to use the"-er"suffix （后綴）of a noun to demonstrate a person's job，such as someone who drives is a"driver"．Again，the children were given a nonsense word，this time"zib"．The researcher asked the child，"A man who‘zibs'is a…？"Some young children replied"zibber"，but many young children replied"zibman"．
The Wug Test demonstrated that even very young children have established grammatical systems that allow them to make plurals，possessive，and other forms of words that they have never heard before．This test was the first of its kind to prove that children learn their language akills naturally without needing to be taught grammar rules．
32．The author introduces Jean Berko Gleason as a psycholinguist in order toBA．explain why she used imaginary words for the experiment
B．show that she was interested in how the mind learns language
C．suggest that she studied the language of the mentally ill
D．state that she illustrated the pictures used in the experiment
33．The underlined word"pretend"is closest in meaning toA
A．a(chǎn)rtificial         B．domestic            C．incorrect          D．living

A．It was an experiment to show that children must be taught the rules of language
B．It investigated whether children could use English verbs to show ownership
C．It examined how children learned complex language rules （ like forming plurals ）
D．It proved that children acquire/z/-sound possessives before/s/-sound ones
35．The passage probably comes fromD．
A．a(chǎn) book review                           
B．a(chǎn)n official documentary
C．a(chǎn) biography of Jean Berko Gleason
