Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time,” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time

we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”

This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to

really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sound and his suggestions

within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.

I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone

to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he

picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.

As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his

friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance

when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech

knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted.

It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical

ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing

audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed( 颠倒). He’s leading me. I’m

asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature

in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction manuals. Without any

prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when

sample products weren’t working as expected.

I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and

enjoy time with my teen.

24. What did the writer think of her son’s advice?

A. It sounded ambitious. B. It was comprehensive. C. It was complicated. D. It sounded sensible.

25. What does the writer intend to do in paragraph 3?

A. Prove her son’s better mastery of technology.

B. Give examples of her son’s gift in technology.

C. Describe their close parent-child relationship.

D. Express her satisfaction of her son’s competence.

26. Why did the writer take her friend’s advice of writing technology reviews?

A. Because she planned to learn more tech knowledge.

B. Because her son was experienced in review writing.

C. Because she wanted to improve their relationship.

D. Because she hoped that her son could be successful.

27. What makes the writer feel honored?

A. Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences.

B. Her son’s dominance of the parent-child dynamic.

C. Her son’s tolerance and patience to their relationship.

D. Her son’s growth and careful attitude to the work.

There are many online and in-person courses promising to teach a “native accent”. But is it really necessary to

sound exactly like a native speaker? Some experts say it is not. Eusebia V. Mont leads the Accent Modification(修

正) Program at the University of Maryland’s Department of Hearing & Speech Sciences. Mont talked about it to

reporters.

Students come to the program for one or two school terms. They meet in a group for 90 minutes a week. Each

student meets with one other student and a “doctor” for more individual work. Altogether the program amounts to

about 60 hours of learning in class. Mont says the rate of progress absolutely depends on the type of accent it is,

how long they’ve been speaking English and how often they speak English.

Mont says, “I view accent as the spread of culture; the spread of a person’s individual identity — and I don’t

work to remove any part of culture from an individual.”

Students will most probably work in English-speaking environments when they leave school. The program

teaches them tools for this. For example, they learn how to give an “elevator pitch” — a short description of an

idea — and how to discuss their research. They also practice interviewing and giving presentations at work.

Mont says that there are a few methods for modifying accent, but most have the same basis. One method is

called the Compton Method. Arthur J. Compton developed the method for English learners who know English

vocabulary and grammar fairly well. It begins with a test to find out how the student’s native language affects

different areas of pronunciation. Then learners use practice materials to record their own voice and compare their

pronunciation attempts to recordings of a native speaker.

Another method is the Tomatis Method, which uses special headphones and includes listening to electronically

modified voices and asks students to find the difference between their pronunciation and the voices they hear. This

method is also used to cure children who have mental conditions that can cause difficulty in language learning.

Mont’s final advice to English learners is not to expect to sound exactly like a native speaker. And remember:

even native English speakers do not all speak alike!
