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

at

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.

“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to

rotate (

旋转

) and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.

The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the 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 the

parents of girls.

The findings were published in the journal

Developmental Science.

24.

In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?

A. Building confidence.

B. Developing spatial skills.

D. Gaining high-tech knowledge.

C. Learning self-control.

25.

What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment?

A.

Parents’

age.

B. Children’s imagination.

D. Child-parent relationship.

C.

Parents’

education.

26.

How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play?

A.

They play with puzzles more often.

B.

They tend to talk less during the game.

C.

They prefer to use more spatial language.

D.

They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.

27.

What is the text mainly about?

A. A

mathematical method.

B. A scientific study.

C. A

woman psychologist.

D. A teaching

When you were

trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross

your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (

时装

) enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria

(

海狸鼠

).

Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles.

“It sounds crazy to talk about guilt

-free fur

—

unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,”

says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.

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

fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.

Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go

into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t

handle this non-native species (

物种

). It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us,” says Michael Massimi, an expert in

this field.

The fur trade kept nutria in 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 b

ring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s

job these days is trying to promote fur.

Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions. Model Paige Morgan says, “To give people a guilt

-free option that

they can wear without someone throwing paint on them

—

I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New

York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her

creations is morally acceptable. She’s tryin

g to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco- friendly.

28.

What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?

A. To promote guilt-free fur.

B. To expand the fashion market.

D. To celebrate a winter

holiday.

C. To introduce a new brand.

29.

Why are scientists concerned about nutria?

A.

Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.

B.

Nutria are an endangered species.

C.

Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.

D.

Nutria are illegally hunted.
