以兒童的成長為主題的考研英語閱讀題
這篇泛讀文章是關(guān)于兒童成長話題，主要談及了美國語言學家的一項最新研究——How babbling to babies can boost their brains父母與寶寶更多的溝通會更好的促進他們的大腦發(fā)育。這項研究對我們未來的社會生活有重大指導意義�，F(xiàn)在，來看一下具體內(nèi)容。考研不足100天，專業(yè)課如何提升一個level ？了解更多猛戳
Themore parents talk to their children, the faster those children’s vocabularies grow and the better their intelligence develops.Researchers fromthe University of Kansas published the results of a decade-long study in which they had looked at how, and how much, 42 families in Kansas City conversed at home.Theyfound a close correlation between the number of words a child’s parents had spoken to him by the time he was three and his academic success at the age of nine.Children born intorichfamilies had heard 30m more words than those from a poorer background.This observation has profound implications for policies about babies and their parents. It suggests that sending children to “pre-school” at the age of fourcomes too late to compensate for educational shortcomings at home.
研究表明，父母與寶寶交流的越多，他們的詞匯量增長的就越快，智力發(fā)育得也就會越好�？八_斯大學的研究者觀察了堪薩斯城的42個家庭如何交流，交談多少。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)在寶寶三歲時父母和他交流的.詞數(shù)與其九歲時學習成績間存在緊密關(guān)聯(lián)。一般來講，出生在富裕家庭的孩子比家庭背景差點的孩子多聽到三百萬個單詞。這項研究對父母對孩子的教育有深刻的意義，也表明在孩子四歲時送他們?nèi)ァ皩W前班”，對于不常家里教育孩子的父母來說還是太晚了。
FernaldfromStanford University has found that the disparity appears well before a child is three. Even at the tender age of 18 months, when most toddlers speak only a dozen words, those from disadvantaged families are several months behind other, more favoured children. Indeed, Dr Fernald thinks the differentiation starts at birth.Toddlers from better-off backgrounds can identify the correct object in 750 milliseconds—200 milliseconds faster than those from poorer families.It is easy to see how this might happen. Toddlers learn new words from their context, so the faster a child understands the words he already knows, the easier it is for him to attend to those he does not.
斯坦福大學的菲爾諾德認為：這個差異在三歲之前就已經(jīng)顯現(xiàn)出來了。在寶寶18個月大時，大多數(shù)寶寶只能說幾個詞，而來自相對貧困的家庭的孩子相比于來自優(yōu)越家庭的孩子已然落后幾個月了。菲爾諾德認為這種差異從出生就已經(jīng)開始了。來自優(yōu)越家庭的小孩能夠在750毫秒內(nèi)認出正確物體，這比來自窮人家的孩子快200秒。兒童從語言環(huán)境中學習新詞，所以他們對已有詞匯理解的就會更快，那么掌握他還不知道的詞就越容易。
這篇文章來源于2015年9月的《經(jīng)濟學人》，從中我們可以了解到在嬰幼兒時期“語言交流”所起到的關(guān)鍵作用。呼吁現(xiàn)代社會的父母要用一些時間與孩子溝通，而不是總讓他們“安靜”，或者把孩子放在電視機前。
對于20XX考研的同學來說，泛讀的學習是對真題的必要補充，只要每天堅持積累下去，那么個人的英語閱讀和寫作能力都會有一個意想不到的提升。
