Children pushed in buggies which face away from their parents may suffer long-term emotional and language problems, according to a study published on Friday.

The research, believed to be the first of its kind, found that children who were not facing the person pushing them were less likely to talk, laugh and interact with their parents.

The findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies were wheeled in buggies for a mile, facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other half. Parents using face-to-face buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies’ heart rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep, an indication that they were feeling relaxed and safe.

In addition, only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an away-facing buggy.

“Our data suggests that for many babies today, life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and possibly stressful. Stressed babies grow into anxious adults,” said Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, Developmental Psychologist at Scotland’s Dundee University who carried out the research.

The study, which was published by National Literacy Trust as part of its “Talk To Your Baby” campaign, found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in away-facing buggies.

Zeedyk said it would impact negatively on babies’ development if they spent a long time in away-facing buggies, which would undermine their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain was developing rapidly.

Laura Barbour of the Sutton Trust, a social mobility charity which funded the research, said buggy manufacturers should look closely at the findings.

1．Using away-facing buggies may _____________.

       A．benefit both the babies and their parents

       B．affect babies’ language ability permanently

       C．help babies communicate with their parents

2．Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?

       A．Parents may talk twice with the babies in away-facing buggies.

       B．The study suggests children feel relaxed and safe in buggies.

       C．The samples of the study were 20 babies wheeled in buggies.

       D．One of the 20 babies was twice as likely to fall asleep in buggies.

3．The underlined word “impoverished” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_______________”.

       A．poor        B．nervous        C．rich          D．energetic

4．National Literacy Trust ___________________.

       A．has been funding the research for a long time

       B．is a social mobility charity funding the research

       C．carried out the study of babies pushed in buggies

       D．started the campaign named “ Talk To Your Baby”

5．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

       A．Best for Kids to Face Parents in Buggy

       B．Best for Kids to Communicate with Parents

       C．Stressed Babies Grow into Anxious Adults

Bexley Middle School eighth-graders won the grand prize at the 2009 National Engineers Week Future City Competition(TM) on Feb. 18 in Washington, D.C．They competed with 37 other schools across the country.

The students qualified for the national competition by winning a regional competition on Jan. 17 in Columbus. By winning the national event, the students earned an all-expenses paid trip to Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala., according to a Bexley school district news release.

Future City aims to arouse interest in science, technology, engineering and math among young people. Bexley team members were Tom Krajnak, Abby Sharp, Wyatt Peery, Elizabeth Maher, Aaron Hutchinson and Truman Haycock. They work in teams under the guidance of a teacher, Margaret Englehardt, and a volunteer engineer, Mark Sherman, design and build a city of tomorrow. Mayor John Brennan presented the students during a recent Bexley City Council meeting.

Each team in the Future City competition plans its city using Sim City software and creates a model to show a physical representation of one section of the city. Team members must write both an essay about the yearly theme and an abstract about their city. They also must make a presentation to judges.

Focusing on eco-responsibility, the Bexley team built “Novo-Mondum,” an Icelandic city in the year 2171．Krajnak said the team’s project included a new water system for each resident unit and a 500-word essay on using bacteria to purify water. “We used our essay and abstract to build a model,” he said. “It was hard to organize which building would go where, what each building does and how to make it look good.”

Englehardt said her students did a good job answering impromptu（即席） questions during the regional competition. “They can think on their feet,” she said. Principal Harley Williams said the school is very proud of the students’ performance.

1．The grand prize winners will ______________.

      A．receive scholarship for further studies
