听力题 M: Hi, Helen. What do you think of our class in children''s Literature? W: It looks pretty good. I was surprised to see you in there. Are you also majoring in elementary education? M: No, I''m not. But as a Psychology major, I can use this to fulfill a requirement in Developmental Psychology. W: Have you finished the first assignment yet? M: Not yet. I just bought the books today. How about you? W: I started this afternoon. It''s great fun reading those wonderful children''s stories by Dr. Seuss. M: Dr. Seuss? I don''t remember seeing his name on the reading list. W: His full name is Theodore Seuss Geisel. That''s how he is listed in the Bibliography. Dr.Seuss is his pen name. M: I loved reading those stories as a child. It''ll be interesting reading them now from a different perspective. I guess they''ll give me a good idea of how children think. W: Those stories are also great for classroom use. M: How''s that? W: Well, take a typical Dr. Seuss'' book like The Cat in the Hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only 200 words. M: So that means the children can get a lot of practice using a small number of words over and over. W: Exactly. In fact. The Cat in the Hat was written primarily to show how a controlled vocabulary read could be also interesting and fun. M: Well, it sounds as though this course is also going to be interesting and fun. I think I''ll get started on those readings tonight.
