Is it purposely cheating or playin

31、g along with the fantasy? There are always those stories about the kindergarten teacher or parent who would tell the kids theres no Santa Claus, and theyd all start crying on the lost dreams.But if another teacher goes into a third-grade class and says there is a Santa Claus, theyll all laugh at her

32、.What I say is that if theyre at the age when theyre still believing,why bother to end it?Then how long should parents pretend? Studies indicate that after eight,75 percent of kids dont believe.Thats the first “S” word that parents have to deal withits not sex. Its Santa.So the parent has to sit dow

33、n and say it in a gentle way. “Listen,Santa did exist. He was a person who gave to others and now that youre older, you can give to others and be Santa,too.”Do you think if a kid who believes in Santa walks into a third-or-fourth-grade class, his friends are going to tell him in a gentle way?No.They

34、re going to make fun of him, and the kid is going to run home crying ,saying you lied to him.

40、on system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results

41、 have been disappointing , because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home env

42、ironment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child,s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-yea

43、r study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, an

44、d useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, pr

45、oblem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child,s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessari

46、ly bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.1、What caus

47、ed the failure of the “Headstart” program ?AThe large number of poor families.BThe disapproval from children.CThe late start of the program.DThe long period of time.2、What do we know about the “Missouri” program ?AIt focused on the children,s first school teachers.BIt helped the children return to t

48、he same home.CIt made the children improved in many aspects.DIt gave the parents advice on their development.3、According to the passage, what is likely to influence children,s performance ?AThe number of family members.BThe parent-child communication.CThe intelligence of their parents.DThe teacher-s
