Research shows that childhood
friendships are important indicators of future
success
and social en’s relationships
with peers (同龄人
) strongly
influence their success in
school
，
and children with
fewer friends are more at risk
of
dropping out of
school
，
becoming depressed
and other problems.
Making and Keeping
Friends Is More than Child’s Play
When 6?year?old Rachel returned to
school on a recent Monday morning，
her
eyes
immediately scanned the
playgro
und for her friend Abbie.“Though
they were only
separated
by
a
weekend
，
the
girls
ran
right
into
each
other’s
arms
and
hugged，
”recalls
Rachel’s mother Kathryn Willis of
Gilbert.“It was like a scene from a
movie.”
Most parents
instinctively (
本能地
) know
that having friends is good for their
s
agree that friendship is not simply child’s
play，
but a powerful
predictor of social adjustment
throughout life.
A Skill for Life
“Childhood
friendships
serve
as
a
very
important
training
ground for
adulthood，”
says
Adler?Tapia，psychologist with the Center for
Children’s Health &
Life Development at
the East Valley Family Resource Center.
Researcher William Hartup
states
，“Peer relations contribute
significantly to both
social
and
cognitive
(
认知的
)
development.” Hartup concludes that
the single
best
childhood
predictor
of
adult
social
adaptation
is
not
school
grades
or
classroom
behavior
，
but
rather
，
how well a child gets
along with other children.
The work
of Arizona State University professor of
Developmental Psychology
Gary Ladd
proves that just as being able to make and keep
friends is beneficial to
kids
，
so is the
lack of friends detrimental.
Good
Friendships Don’t Just Happen
Experts agree that it is essential for
children to establish
high?quality
，
researchers
warn
，these friendships don’t
necessarily just
，
a good
friendship begins with involved parents.
Psychologist Kenney Markan believes
kids should be taught social skills in
much the same way they are taught math
and reading.
Bad Company
Many parents worry about the quality as
well as the quantity of their child’s
- 1 -
friendships.“When she
was in 1st grade，her supposed ‘best friend’ began
calling
her names and threatening to
hurt her
，” says Mindy Miller.“My
daughter wasn’t
allowed to talk to or
even look at other girls in her really crushed
her
spirit.I told my daughter she
didn’t need a ‘friend’ like that.”
“I’ll bend over backwards to help my
son get together with a friend I think is good
for
him
，
”
Adler?Tapia
says.“I
don’t
look
at
it
as
manipulation
(操纵
)
，
just
positive
parental involvement.”

答案

阅读理解。
The year 2009 is the Year of Ox. The ox
is a representative of the fanning culture
of China. In the farming economy
（经济）
, oxen are the major
animals pulling plows
（犁）
.
Of
course,
the
good
of
oxen
is
not
limited
to
plowing. In
fact,
they
are
seen
as
on land
of
treasures. Their meat and milk are food full of
nutrition, and their skin can be
used
to
make
clothes
and
shoes.
With
all
these
qualities,
oxen
are
regarded
as
generous
creatures.
In the past, oxen played an important
role in the spiritual life of the Chinese. Even
today,
oxen
still
play
a
special
part
in
some
folk
activities.
For
example,
some
people
who1ive
in
southwest
China
will
cook
cattle
bone
soup
and
share
it
among
family
members
when
holding
the
ceremony
for
children
who
reach
13.
They
believe
that
the
cattle
bone
soup
represents
the
blood
relationship
among
family
members.
In
order
to
express
their
love for oxen, people in some other
areas will run to shake off diseases on the 16th
day of the first month by the lunar
calendar
（农历）
, and during
their run they will
take their oxen
along, which indicates they regard the creature as
human.
Because
of
the
contribution
of
oxen
in
their
lives,
the
Chinese
people
are
very
grateful
