　　结构：共有2个谓语动词，其中主句的是hears。(what is more)是插入语，而插入语并不重要。所以要先理解插入语两端的内容，再理解插入语。因此，对于插入语，我们的处理方法是：“先读两端，再读中间”。with后面的right…right…and right…是并列结构。

　　翻译：儿童从早到晚都能听到别人在讲(母语)，而且更重要的是，听到的总是一种正确的发音、语调、用词以及语法结构的纯正语言。

　　2.Work, (for most American and Chinese women aged 55 and under), involves responsibility for a household, a child or children, and a job outside the home as well.
