their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgemental
(不作出评价的) listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence (自信心) , according to
Intermountain Therapy Animals(ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the
country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education
Assistance Dogs( READ).
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. "Literacy specialists admit that children who
read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower
self-respect, and regard reading as a headache," said Lisa Myron, manager of the children"s department.
Last November the two groups started " Dog Day Afternoon" in the children"s department of the main
library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour.
Those who attended three of the four classes received a "pawgraphed" book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dada
Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
B. Advantages of raising dogs.
C. Service in a public library.
D. A special reading program.
B. children can play with dogs while reading
C. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children
D. children and dogs understand each other
B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA
C. has opened a children"s department
D. has decided to train some dogs
B. a book written by the children
C. a prize for the children
D. a gift from parents

the Harris Interactive poll conducted in the United States between Jan.29 and Feb.2 among 2,003 adults.
The random national telephone survey released this week by the Federal Waybased charity World Vision
found 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.Fortysix
percent 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.

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
C. Stressed Babies Grow into Anxious Adults
D. Buggy Manufacturers Care about the Finding
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. Children must be understood and respected.
B. Children are small adults and know what they need.

D. Education of children is the responsibility of psychologists.

A. They find that the children dislike the lessons.
B. They tend to blame students for their failure.
