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.

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

A.to develop the children’s communication

B.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

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.

A.the early childhood education is helpless to the child’s grade

B.it is good for the young children to receive early education

D.the younger the children are, the cleverer they will be

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

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

D
  Just outside the northern Italian town of Bra, there rises a church tower with a clock that is a half hour slow. Though not far from the industrial city of Turin,Bra smells of roses,and leisure(悠闲)is the law. It is both the home of an international movement that promotes slow food and one of Italian cities that have joined the slow cities. In Bra, the population is 27,866. The town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic(有机的). And as the movement goes well,the slow concept gradually spreads across Europe.
  The argument for a Slow Europe is not only that it is good,but also that it can work. The Slow City Movement, which started in 1999,has improved local economies(经济)by promoting local goods and tourism. Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra,where unemployment is only 5 percent,about half the nationwide rate. Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year. Shops are doing well,many with sales rising at a rate of 15% per year.“This is our answer to the world,”says Paolo Saturnini,the founder of Slow Cities.
  France is in favor of slow economics. Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model:short hours and long vacations. Yet the French are more productive than those in the United States and Britain,and have been for years.
  The mystery of French productivity has risen an Europe-wide debate about the advantages of working more slowly.
