Passage TwoTom was aged four but he was talking like a two-year-old baby. He was saying such things as“kick ball" and “want car”，and using lots of one-word sentences. He should have been saying some really long sentences and telling stories with them. He wasn' t. Something had gone trribly wrong.Quite a few children have what is called a“language delay". For some reason they don't learn to speak as quickly as they should. Their friends shoot ahead and they’re left behind. As a result, they get very lonely. Nobody wants to talk to you if you can' t talk back.Can anything be done to help these children? Yes. They can go to see a speech therapist- -a person who's specially trained to work out what' s wrong and who knows how to teach language to children.This is what happened to Tom. The speeh therpist played some games with him and heard how he talked. She made a recording of his speech, and chatted to his mom and dad about his background.They’d taken Tom to see a doctor,but the doctor hadn’t found anything wrong with him.He seemed peretly normal in every way- except he just wasn talking.Afer Tom and his parents had gone home, the therapist listened carefully to the recording she' d made .Then she looked at a chart which showed how language developed in children aged two,three,and four. She could see Tom was a long way behind.The next step, she deided, was to teach Tom how to say some new sentences like”kick a red ball,”and”the clown is kicking a ball.”Tom didn’t get the new sentences right straight away.But therapist was very patient,and after a few more visit he started to make progress.How did the author introduce the topic of this passage?

14.One of the most interesting experiments in electronic communication I’ve ever seen is coming fromWave. It’s real-time e-mail,What that means is that as you’re typing a message in Wave,either anew massage or a reply ,the person you are writing to can see what you’re typing as you type it .Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use W ave in this real-time way . It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s reallydifferent about Wave is that if you’re replying to a massage and the person you’re replying tohappen to be online,they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an emailconversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users . And Wave isn’t yet connected to other communicationsystems,like regular e-mail , which means that the only people we can Wave with are other peopleon waves as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail . Also,the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itselfthan regular e-mail or chat,so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale .But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail . A lot of people won’t like it . A lot of people didn’tlike e-mail either when it first showed up .but people will find real uses for Wave or whatever itbecomes, and it’s one of the most interesting new takes on communication . Even if you don’t likeit, it will make you think differently about e-mail.It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because___________.
