Babies are not just passing idle time when they stare goggle-eyed at the television—they are actually learning about the world, U.S. researchers said. Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television , based on the study, said Donna Mumme, assistant professor of psychology at Tufts University in Boston, who led the research. “Children as young as 12 months are making decisions based on the emotional(情感的)reactions of adults around them,” Mumme said in a statement. “It turns out they can also use emotional information they pick up from television. This means that adults might want to think twice before they speak in a loud and harsh voice or let a baby see television programs meant for information about the world. A mother urging her baby to eat some “yummy” soup or a brother crying in fear when a dog approaches can influence a baby’s reaction. Mumme’s team tested babies to determine. If television has the same influence, showing actors reacting on a videotape to objects such as red spiral letter holder, a blue bumpy ball, and a yellow garden hose attachment. Babies aged 10 months or 12 months were later given the same objects to play with. Ten-month-olds did not seem to be influenced by the video but the 1-year-olds were. When the actors acted neutrally or positively to an object, the babies happily played with them. But if the actor had seemed afraid or disgusted, the babies would avoid the object.

Top reasons to become a teacher

Teaching is a special calling. It is not a job well-suited to everyone. In fact, many new teachers leave within the first 3-5 years of teaching. However, there are many rewards that come with this career.

Student successes

1. Seeing a student who didn’t understand a concept and then learned it through your help can be very rewarding. And when you reach that student that others have written off as being unteachable, this can truly be worth all the headaches that come with the job.

Keep learning

2. I remember my first year teaching history. I thought I knew what I was doing. However, the students’ questions just made me dig deeper and learn more.

Daily humor

Sometimes it will be silly jokes you make up as you teach that might get a laugh from your students. 3. And sometimes students will come out with the funniest statements without realizing what they’ve said.

As a teacher, you will have a couple of months off in the summer. Further, you typically get a few weeks off during the Spring Festival, which can be a huge benefit and provide much-needed rest time.

Job security

5. If you are willing to work hard in any type of environment, you’ll find that you can always get a teaching job.

A. Stay younger

B. School holidays

C. The world will always need teachers.

D. This is often what drives teachers to continue.

E. Sometimes it will be jokes that kids share with you.

F. You will never learn a topic better than when you start teaching it.

G. During the holidays, teachers can often choose to travel around and just relax themselves.

Dear Peter,

At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

1.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .

A．He was new to the class

B．He was tired of literature

C．He had an attention disorder

D．He wanted to take the task home

2.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

A．He made a great invention.

B．He had good sight.

C．He gave up reading.

D．He learned a lot from school.

3.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

A．Angry. B．Impatient.

C．Sympathetic. D．Encouraging.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A．The disabled should be treated with respect.

B．A teacher can open up a new world to students.

C．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

D．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
