Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child’s physical, sensory, communicational and social development．Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for Kindergarten．

There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education．Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life．Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in

Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to jail．

There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early．Time Magazine online explains that “the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work．” I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school．Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier．

Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a “false start”, as the gains are lost in middle and high school years．It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life’s success than early education．Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children．Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap．

1.The purpose of the government valuing the early childhood education is ________．

A．to develop the children’s communication

A．to give orphaned children good care and education

C．to get the children prepared for the kindergarten

D．to train the children formally and regularly

2.According to the studies, which of the following is True?

A．Children with good early education may have a rich life．

B．The orphaned children are usually unhappy in their life．

C．Children without early education can do well at school．

D．Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children．

3. The author’s attitude toward the early childhood education is _________．

A．puzzling     B．objective   C．indifferent   D．approving

4.The main idea of the last passage is that __________．

A．the early childhood education is very necessary

B．Head Start programs have helped the children a lot

C．environment is the most important to life’s success

D．better ways should be found to help the poor children

With a focus now on the environmental influence over the fashion industry, some bloggers who cut their teeth sharing details of endless clothes and products are changing their direction-enter the “no-buy” movement. The idea is simple: instead of buying new clothes or beauty products, you make a promise to use the things you already own. Some people sign up to a “no-buy year”. Others decide not to buy for a few weeks or months or choose “low-buy” with a strict spending cap.

This life style has caught the attention of many people who struggle to keep up with the latest fashion. Modern people’s desire for material things is often not caused by poverty (贫穷) , but by anxiety, which is further enlarged by the rise of social media.

“Social media puts pressure on people to spend money,” says Katherine Ormerod, author of Why Social Media is Ruining Your Life. Many online influencers are given the items they use and wear for free, but Ormerod is determined not to wear any new products she is given. “Really I just want to convince people they don’t have to spend a lot of money on fashion to look stylish and there’s no such thing as ‘last season’ anymore,” she says. “True style has never been about that anyway.”

However, self-satisfied expressions of minimalist (极简主义的) living have earned plenty of doubts. “Minimalism is a good quality only when it’s a choice, and it’s telling that its fan base is from the well-off middle class. To people who don’t have enough in the first place, celebrations of ‘less is more’ can sound more like a luxury (奢侈) than a considerable loss.” Stephanie Land wrote in The New York Times.

1.What does the underlined word “cap” mean in paragraph 1?

A.Soft hat. B.Loose budget. C.Upper limit. D.Money box.

2.Which of the following does Katherine Ormerod agree with?

A.Overspending results in anxiety. B.High price goes with good quality.

C.True style is getting the latest product. D.Social media affects buying decisions.

3.What does Stephanie Land think of minimalism?

A.It’s suitable for the rich. B.It's a wise choice.

C.It’s out of date. D.It's an impractical idea.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A.Buying habit. B.Social media.

C.Fashion industry. D.No-buy movement.

Dr. Julie Coulton, a British psychologist, focuses her research on the extraordinary function of the play in the physical and spiritual development of children and Martti Bergson from the University of Helsinki shows that playing outside, in the open air, contributes to a better development of the brain.

Thus parents must encourage their children to spend as much time as possible in the open air, and at the same time, to ask schools and kindergartens to assure the small a playground outside. Recent statistics (数据) and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent outside.

As a consequence more and more children suffer from eye problems and have to wear glasses. Also the problem of fatness among children concerns many parents who don't know what to do anymore to make their children eat healthy and balanced.

Children need a space where to develop their creativity mid parents should encourage them all the time. Too many rules hold back the child's personality and creativity and prevent them to develop the desire to know, to find out, to learn.

If you tell your child so many times: "Don't do that, don't mess the room, don't go there ...", he will lose the desire to do something, anything. Parents must watch their children without suffocating (窒息) them. Should you consider they mustn't do that or this, you have to logically explain them your reasons and they will understand.

Through playing a child learns how to communicate, how to take decisions. Playing is connected to the intellectual, emotional and social progress of the child. Playing lets your children learn how to express his feelings.
