Often they seem to understand each other and share each other s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication.Whatis not so widely known is that this special relationship oftenacts as brake on twins intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year old twin is typicallysix months behindthat of a non-twin.The problem canbeparticularly severe in an underprivileged family, a one parent family for example, where there islittle stimulation forchildren anyway.Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severeeducational disadvantage. The only solutionto the problem, cruelthoughit may seem, is toseparate the twinsthus forcing themtoacquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.第 1 題 Many people don t know that.A.twins understand each other very wellB.twins are slow to learn to talkC.twins are able to understand each other in a private languageD.twins communicate less with their parents(3)Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(誤角軍)？ Little wonder.

Introduce your request byintellectual development?A.They can only understand their own private language.B.They communicate with outsiders less than non-twins.C.There is little stimulation for them.saying “I want to be sure I said that right." Questions like "How does that sound?" or " Does that make sense? may also work. (4)Listen well. When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure you re on the same page.
