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.

skills.

Levine take into consideration when designing her
experiment
？
A.

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.

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.
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 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.
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.
C. To introduce a new brand.
D. To celebrate a winter
holiday.
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.
30. What does the underlined
word
“collapsed”
in
paragraph 5 probably mean?
