Scientists often see the first ten years of a child’s life as the “window of opportunity”. 51 And studies show that the following activities can benefit their brain greatly.
52
Free playtime has always been an important part of “being a kid”, but it is also important to a child’s development. “Free play” not only helps kids develop different skills, it also helps them develop into happy healthy adults in the future.
Read with kids
Reading has long been known to improve children’s intelligence. 53 For parents who don’t have much time, just surrounding your kids with books goes a long way too.
Put kids to bed early
54 Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep and kids up to age 12 should try to get at least ten hours of sleep.
Learn a second language
Early studies in this field have shown that bilingual (双语的) kids can perform better under pressure. Young children can learn new language with nearly perfect fluency(流利) and pronunciation.
Praise good effort not intelligence.
Your kids may be smart but you should mainly praise the effort they put into tasks. Kids, who are praised on intelligence, often feel it is a fixed quality, and mistakes or failures badly hurt their self-confidence. Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning . 55
A. Play some helpful game.
B. Give them enough playtime.
C. And they are not afraid to fail and try again.
D. Kids still need time away from the TV to do homework.
E. Kids who read often develop earlier writing and number skills as well.
F. Everything at this time is very important to the development of a person’s brain.
G. Studies show that kids with regular bedtimes are better at languages, math and reading.

Name a female celebrity who is 5'2" and weighs 280 pounds.
Give up? It's Koko, the world's best known living gorilla(大猩猩).
Koko is impressive. But it's her brains, not physical strength, that have earned her fame. This ape is smart!
Koko was born on July 4, 1971. As a baby at the San Francisco Zoo, she was introduced to Francine “Penny” Patterson, a graduate psychology student specializing in communication. Penny wanted to try to teach Koko sign language. The zoo gave her the green light.
Under Penny's guidance, Koko eventually mastered over a thousand words in a certain form of American Sign Language. Surprisingly, Koko also demonstrated she could combine these signs to express thoughts and feelings. Both she and Penny soon became media favorites. But the experiment led to another unexpected result: Penny and Koko developed a deep emotional bond.
No one was more amazed by this than Penny.“I was expecting an animal project and thought I could easily leave it after four years,” she admits. “But what I ended up with was a daughter. And you can't leave your daughter after four years.”
In 1976 Penny and others founded The Gorilla Foundation. TGF's mission is to “bring interspecies(物种间) communication to the public, in order to save gorillas from dying out, and call on our children to create a better future for all the great apes”. Since then, TGF has fought hard to prevent the hunting of gorillas for meat.
As the numbers of wild gorillas are few, Koko remains childless. She has rejected all suitors(求婚者) so far, focusing her love as a mother instead on her cat, Smoky.
Will Koko finally find “Mr. Right”? Only time will tell. Until then, Smoky is likely to remain the world's only cat who thinks of a gorilla as “Mom”!
1．The fact about the gorilla is that ________.
[ ]
A．it is not big enough since it has a height of 5'2" and a weight of 280 pounds
B．it is the only living gorilla in the San Francisco Zoo
C．it is so clever that it can communicate with people through Sign Language
D．it has lost its nature so that it has refused all the suitors
2．The reason why Penny was able to succeed in teaching Koko was that ________.
[ ]
A．she loved animals and took Koko for her own daughter
B．the zoo gave her the permission to train Koko
C．she worked for many years in the zoo and knew Koko well enough
D．she was specialized in communication
3．The underlined words “emotional bond” may have the meaning of ________.
[ ]
A．mother-daughter love
B．trainer-learner care
C．human-animal friendship
D．gorilla-cat relationship
4．Which statement of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
[ ]
A．Penny did not expect it would be hard for her to part Koko after four years' experiment.
B．Penny set up TGF in order to protect gorillas from being killed.
C．Smoky has all the time looked on Koko as her mother.
D．Koko will find “Mr. Right” when she is set free into the wild.
