We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming（把…按能力分班）pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual (智力的) abilities. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. And expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Early Childhood EducationEarly childhood education is the formal(正规的)teaching and care of young children．It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage the child's different kinds of development． 1
Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children's learning and development．Compared to a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills．They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so． 2 These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children's peers(同伴)．
3 In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity．What's more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated(综合)as an adult．
Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years．It is clear that early childhood education can have some great benefits for children． 4 If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years．Also important is considering a child's own personality． 5
A．The long-term influence of early education is significant as well．
B．They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood．
C．Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides．
D．They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills．
E．Many experts of education have concerned about what early childhood education means today．
F．Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education．
G．It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance．
