language problems, according to a study published on Friday.
The research, believed to be the first of its kind, found that children who were not facing the person
pushing them were less likely to talk, laugh and interact with their parents.
The findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies
were wheeled in buggies for a mile, facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other
half. Parents using facetoface buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies" heart
rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep, an indication that they were feeling relaxed and safe.
In addition, only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an awayfacing buggy.
"Our data suggests that for many babies today, life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and
possibly stressful. Stressed babies grow into anxious adults, " said Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, Developmental
Psychologist at Scotland"s Dundee University who carried out the research.
The study, which was published by National Literacy Trust as part of its "Talk To Your Baby"
campaign, found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in awayfacing buggies.
Zeedyk said it would impact negatively on babies" development if they spent a long time in awayfacing
buggies, which would undermine their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain
was developing rapidly.
Laura Barbour of the Sutton Trust, a social mobility charity which funded the research, said buggy
manufacturers should look closely at the findings.
B. affect babies" language ability permanently
C. help babies communicate with their parents
D. have positive effect on babies" development
B. The study suggests children feel relaxed and safe in buggies.
C. The samples of the study were 20 babies wheeled in buggies.
D. One of the 20 babies was twice as likely to fall asleep in buggies.
B. nervous
C. rich
D. energetic
B. is a social mobility charity funding the research
C. carried out the study of babies pushed in buggies
D. started the campaign named "Talk To Your Baby"
B. Best for Kids to Communicate with Parents

举一反三
redebated.Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system,the learning of lessons parrotfashion,
the grammarwithawhip system,which was good enough for our grandparents.The theories of modern
psychology have stepped in to argue that we must understand the need of children.Children are not
just small adults; they are children who must be respected as much.
Well,you may say,this is as it should be,a good idea.But think further.What happens?"Education"
becomes the responsibility not of teachers,but of psychologists.What happens then?Teachers worry
too much about the psychological implications of their lessons,and forget about the subjects themselves.
If a child dislikes a lesson,the teacher feels that it is his fault,not the child"s. So teachers worry whether
history is "relevant" to modern young children.And do they dare to recount stories about violence?Or
will this make the children themselves violent?Can they tell their classes about children of different races,
or will this encourage racial hatred?Why teach children to write grammatical sentences?Verbal expression
is better.Sums?Arithmetic?No,reallife mathematical situations are more understandable.
You see,you can go too far.Influenced by educational theorists,who have nothing better to do than to
write books about their ideas,teachers leave their teachertraining colleges filled with grand,psychologica
l ideas about children and their needs.They make elaborate (精心的),sophisticated (复杂的)
preparations and try out their "modern methods" on the longsuffering children.Since one "modern method"
rapidly replaces another,the poor kids will have had a good bellyful by the time they leave school.
Frequently the modern methods are so sophisticated that they fail to be understood by the teachers,let
alone the children; even more often,the relaxed discipline so essential for the "informal" feelings the class
must have,prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything.

A. too much grammar was taught to children
B. children were spoiled
C. children were treated as grownups
D. children were made to learn passively
2. What view do the modern psychologists hold?
A. Children must be understood and respected.
B. Children are small adults and know what they need.
C. Children are better off without learning lessons.
D. Education of children is the responsibility of psychologists.
3. What happens when teachers pay too much attention to the psychology of their lessons?
A. They find that the children dislike the lessons.
B. They tend to blame students for their failure.
C. They do not pay enough attention to the actual lessons.
D. They no longer want to teach children history.
4. Grammatical sentences are regarded as unimportant because________.
A. it is better to use verbal expression only
B. words are said out of natural feelings only
C. talking freely and naturally without sentences is a better form of expression

5. According to the passage,the modern methods are understood by________.
A. neither teachers nor pupils
B. only a handful of teachers and pupils

the Harris Interactive poll conducted in the United States between Jan.29 and Feb.2 among 2,003 adults.
The r
andom national telephone survey released this week by the Federal Waybased charity World Visionfound that more teens volunteer to support a charitable (慈善的) cause-56 percent-than have a parttime
job-39 percent.
Parents and guardians said 82 percent of the teens in their lives do something to support charitable
causes, including volunteering, recruiting others to a cause, wearing a Tshirt or donating money
.Fortysixpercent of the adults surveyed said they volunteered their time and they also inspired their children to
volunteer.
Sara Johnson, a teacher who advises students at a private school in a Chicago suburb, says she"s seen a
rise of teen involvement in social causes since President Barack Obama was elected in November.
The Harris Interactive survey found a quarter of teens have become more involved in charitable
causes or organizations as a result of the economic downturn, but the economy has also led to cuts in
allowances, and has teens work more hours at a paying job.
Alynn Woodson, director of volunteer engagement at Habitat for Humanity International, said she has
noticed a new enthusiasm among teen volunteers for the organization.
Habitat for Humanity International celebrates the 20th anniversary of its alternative spring break
program this year and is expecting more than 12,000 young people to help build homes for lowincome
people around the nation.

than in the classroom.Therefore the great influence of parents can"t be ignored or discounted by the
teacher.They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously prevent
the school from accomplishing its aims.
Administrators have been aware of the need to keep_parents_apprised_of the newer methods used in
schools.Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness
program and developmental math.
Moreover, the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they
should do.The informal tea and many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of
reporting pupils" progress, can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home.
Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly
interview, the teacher can help the parent change his method.He might be pe
rsuaded to let Juniorparticipate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a measuring cup at home, setting the
clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engage in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making
satisfactory progress in math and at the same time, enjoying the
work.Too often, however, teachers" conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of
children" s wrongdoing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for punishments
and rewards at home.
What is neede
d is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, plants ideas in parents"minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.In
this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters"competence.
1. The underlined phrase"keep parents
apprised of"in Para.2 probably means to let parents________.A. judge
B. know
C. design
D. develop
2. What is the purpose of the schools" informal tea and interviews?
A. To improve the relationship between teachers and parents.
B. To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum.
C. To report students" misdoings and suggestions for punishments.
D. To help develop good communication between school and home.
3. Why does the author provide the example in Paragraph 4?
A. To help parents know the importance of home activities.
B. To show how the teacher can guide in home training.
C. To prove parents are nonprofessional advisors.
D. To advice parents to teach kids math at home.
4. From the passage we learn that the author________.
A. thinks teachers should do better as professionals
B. is worried about children" s performance at home
C. is satisfied with the present state of school education
D. believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted
success in training children, the first condition is to become a child oneself.It means to treat the child as
really one"s equal, that is, to show him the same consideration, the same kind of confidence one shows to
an adult.It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become, but to be affected
by the impression of what the child himself is; not to treat the child with cheating, or by force, but with the
seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children.Parents
do not see that during the whole life, the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood, an
inner peace under all outside liveliness.
But what does a child experience?Corrections, orders, interference (干涉), the whole livelong day.
The child is always required to leave something alone, or to do something different, to find something
different, or to want something different from what he does, or finds, or wants.He is always guided in
another direction from the true inner will that is leading him.All of this is caused by our socalled enthusiasm
in directing, advising, and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line (流水线). Understanding, the deepest characteristic of love, is almost always absent.
To bring up a child means carrying
one"s soul in one"s hand; it means never placing ourselves in danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child.It means the truth that the ways of injuring the child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few.How seldom does the educator remember that the
child, even at four or five years of age, has already had a sharp feeling!The smallest mistrust and
unkindness, the
least act of injustice, leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child.While, on the other hand, unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.

A. You
could treat your children not so seriously for they don"t understand many things.B. You could train your children as y
ou wish them to be.C. You should sometimes leave your children in peace as they wish in their childhood.
