Children start out as      scientists, eager to look into the world around them.     them enjoy science can be   ; there's no need for scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's interests.
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once    a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me "textbook questions" about schooling, salary and my job. When I       answering, I said, "    we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science ?" After a long , a boy    his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢)   ?When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why ?" This began a set of questions that    nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. After asking a question, teachers often wait only one   or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When teachers   their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children usually give better answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. When children are having a science discussion, don't jump in with "That's right" or "Very good" because these    may make the children think that discussion is over.  , keep things going by saying, "I'd never thought of it that way before", or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never    a child to "think". It doesn't make sense, because children are always thinking without your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation    a performance.
   , show in stead of telling. Let children look at their fingers through a magnifying glass(放大鏡),    they'll understand why you want them to    before dinner. Rather than say that water evaporates(蒸發(fā)), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level   .

People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another        , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(絆腳) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his      ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to         aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In         these and other research findings, two themes are         : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think     assistance.
In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid.       , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be        , but had apparently been "lost". The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very          person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to        the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.
The degree of      between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n)           T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.
Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone.        to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for        than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be         rather than drunk.
