Passage One
It was evening in early summer, and after our supper Mrs. White Smith climbed the steps of the dike built high along the sides of the river to hold in its water in the rainy season. She did this every day to see how high the river had risen. She knew what the river would do. One by one the villagers followed her up the dike, and stood staring down at the malicious yellow water; curing along like a lot of snakes; and biting at the high dike banks.She gazed at the river for a moment. That river- it was full of good and evil together. It would water the fields when it was controlled, but then if it rose an inch above the dike, it would crash through like a roaring dragon. That was how husband had died. He always piled more earth on top of it, but one night, the river had risen and broken through. He had run out of the house, and she had climbed onto the roof with the child and had saved herself and it while he was drowned. Well, they had pushed the river back again behind its dike. Every day she herself walked up and down the length of the dike for which the village was responsible and examined it. The men laughed and said, “If anything is wrong with the dike, Granny will tell us.”
It had never occurred to any of them to move the village away from the river. The Smiths had lived there for generations, and some had always escaped and afterwards had fought the river more fiercely than ever.

Passage Two
Having no language, infants cannot be told what they need to learn. Yet by the age of three they will have mastered the basic structure of their native language and will be well on their way to communicative competence. Acquiring their language is the most impressive intellectual feat. Students of how children learn language generally agree that the most remarkable aspect of this featis the rapid acquisition of grammar. Nevertheless, the ability of children to conform to grammatical rules is only slightly more wonderful than their ability to learn words. It has been reckoned that the average high school graduate in the United States has a reading vocabulary of 80,000 words, whichincludes idiomatic expressions and proper names of people and places. This vocabulary must have been learned over a period of 16 years. From the figures, it can be calculated that the average child learns at a rate of about 13 new words per day. Clearly a learning process of great complexity goes on ata rapid rate in children.11. What is the main subject of the passage?
