Some parents will buy
any high-tech toy if they think it will help their
child, but researchers said puzzles help
children with math-related skills.
Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on
mathematics development in young children the
University of Chicago,
found children
who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later
develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was
found
to be a significant predictor of
cognition
(认知)
after
controlling for differences in parents' income,
education and
the amount of parent
talk, Levine said.
The researchers
analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs
during everyday activities at home and found
children who play with puzzles between
26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills
when assessed at 54
months of age.
to
rotate
(旋转)
and translate
shapes,
The parents were asked to
interact with their children as they normally
would, and about half of children in the
study played with puzzles at one time.
Higher-income parents tended to have children play
with puzzles more
frequently, and both
boys and girls who played with puzzles had better
spatial skills. However, boys tended to play
with more complex puzzles than girls,
and the parents of boys provided more spatial
language and were more active
during
puzzle play than parents of girls.
The
findings were published in the journal
Developmental Science.

When you were trying to

cross your mind. But some ecologists

Scientists in
Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to
pay hunters $$5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in

fashion shows like the one in

The
fur trade kept nutria check for
decades
,
but when the market
for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, the
cat-
sized animals multiplied like
crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the
nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it's
not easy to convince people
that nutria
fur is green, but he has no doubt about it.
Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a
year, so part
of Mouton's job these
days is trying to promote fur.

there's Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion.

I
have a special place in my heart for libraries. I
have for as long as I can remember. I was always
an enthusiastic
reader, sometimes
reading up to three books a day as a child.
Stories were like air to me and while other kids
played
ball or went to parties, I lived
out adventures through the books I checked out
from the library.
My first job was
working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years
old .It was a dream job and I did everything from
shelving books to reading to the
children for story time.
As I grew
older and became a mother, the library took on a
new place and an added meaning in my life. I had
several
children and books were our
main source
(来源)
of
entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up
and go to the
local library, where my
kids could pick out books to read or books they
wanted me to read to them.
I always
read, using different voices, as though I were
acting out the stories with my voice and they
loved it !It was a
special time to bond
with my children and it filled them with the
wonderment of books .
Now, I see my
children taking their children to the library and
I love that the excitement of going to the library
lives
on form generation to generation.
As a novelist, I've found a new
relationship with libraries. I encourage readers
to go to their local library when they
can’t afford to purchase a book. I see
libraries as a safe
haven
(避风港)
for readers and
writers, a bridge that helps
put
together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their
own way, help fight book
piracy
(盗版行为)
and I think all
writers should support libraries in a
significant way when they can. Encourage readers
to use the library. Share
library
announcements on your social media. Frequent them
and talk about them when you can.
