6．"We are good mothers，"I said to my friend，as we sat on our comfortable beach chairs under our beach umbrella and watched our children playing in the waves．
Out of nowhere，the children took off running．About fifty yards from us，a man-maybe in his fifties-was fishing．The children stood next to him and watched with their little mouths hanging open as he cast the fishing lines．He smiled at them．They ran back to us-all except my three-year-old daughter，Drew．
My heart beat fast with horror．"Drew!Come here!Play with your friends!"I shouted，very aware that my speeches about not talking to strangers weren't working．It seemed that many parents heard of horrible stories about children being taken away by strangers．Responsible mothers should teach their children that the world is a dangerous place．So I felt relieved when Drew ran towards me and took hold of a shovel（铲子）．Then she looked me in the eye："I want to be with the person．"
Again，she approached the middle-aged man，and started digging next to him．
Several seconds later，she returned，waving something shiny．
"Look，Mommy!A toy fish!"
It was，indeed，a toy fish-yellow and rubber．This must have been what he was using to attract the fish．And he'd given it to Drew．The three other children were deeply impressed，and they didn't try to hide how jealous（妒忌的）they were-clearly，they all wanted the fish．
"My friend gave me that fish!"Drew shouted loudly．The sand in front of the umbrella turned into a preschool cage match with a yellow rubber fish flying through the air．I felt like I might cry myself．
Unexpectedly，there he was：the man，standing right next to us with three more rubber fish in hand．He handed them to each of the children．By their faces，you would have thought he was actually the really kind big brother．
"Thank you，"I said，realizing that there is good and kindness in strangers．

24．How did the author feel when Drew stood beside the man？C

7．A long-term American study shows the importance of early education for poor children．The study is known as the Abecedarian Project．It involved more than one-hundred young children from poor families in North Carolina．
Half of the children attended an all-day program at a high-quality child-care center．The center offered educational，health and social programs．Children took part in games and activities to increase their thinking and language skills and social and emotional development．The program also included health foods for the children．
The children attended the program from when they were a few weeks old until the age of five years．The other group of children did not attend the child-care center．After the age of five，both groups attended public school．
Researchers compared the two groups of children．When they were babies，both groups had similar results in tests for mental and physical skills．However，from the age of eighteen months，the children in the educational child-care program did much better in tests．
The researchers tested the children again when they were twelve and fifteen years old．The tests found that the children who had been in the child-care center continued to have higher average test results．These children did much better on tests of reading and mathematics．
A few years ago，organizers of the Abecedarian Project tested the students again．At the time，each student was twenty-one years old．They were tested for thinking and educational ability，employment，parenting and social skills．The researchers found that the young adults who had the early education still did better in reading and mathematics tests．They were more than two times as likely to be attending college or to have completed college．In addition，the children who received early education were older on average，when their first child was born．
The study offers more evidence that learning during the first months and years of life is important for all later development．
The researchers of the Abecedarian Project believe their study shows a need for lawmakers to spend money on public early education．They believe these kinds of programs could reduce the number of children who do not complete school and are unemployed．

77．The Abecedarian Project has lastedC．
A．almost one year
B．about five years
C．more than 20 years
D．no more than 15 years
78．Those who had been in the child-care centerA compared with those who hadn't．
A．have their children at later ages
B．get more help from other people
C．have no parenting or social skills
D．are poorer at reading and mathematics
79．What don't we know about the Abecedarian Project after reading the text？D
A．What the children learned at the child-care center．
B．How important early education is for poor children．
C．How many children are involved in the Abecedarian Project．
D．Whether lawmakers will spend money on public early education．
80．The study of the Abecedarian Project shows that early educationC．
A．costs a lot of money
B．leads to a lower birthrate
C．can improve the life of poor children
D．is not important for later development．
