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 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.

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.

did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment

A. Parents

’

age.

B. Children

’

s imagination.

C. Parents

’

education.

D. Child-parent relationship.

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 program.

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.

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 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

fashion.

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 trying to come up with a lable to attach to nutria fashions to show it is

eco- friendly.
