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 recording 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 Development Science.

24. In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?

A. Building confidence.

B. Developing spatial skills

C. Learning self-control.

D

．

Gaining high- tech knowledge.

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

) enthusiast 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 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.

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.
