　　Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.

　　Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(認知) after controlling for differences in parents’income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.

　　The researchers analyzed video recording of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.

　　“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋轉) and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.

　　The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls.

　　The findings were published in the journal Development Science.

　　24. In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?

　　A. Building confidence.

　　B. Developing spatial skills

　　C. Learning self-control.

　　D．Gaining high-tech knowledge.

　　When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion(時裝) enthusiast are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海貍鼠).

　　Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles.“It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur – unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,” says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.

　　Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.

　　Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物種). It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us,” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.

　　The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.

　　Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.

　　Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions. Model Paige Morgan says,“To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them – I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson

　　admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She’s trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.

　　28. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?

　　A. To promote guilt-free fur.

　　B. To expand the fashion market.

　　C. To introduce a new brand.

　　D. To celebrate a winter holiday.

　　【分值】2分

　　【答案】A

　　29. Why are scientists concerned about nutria?

　　A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.

　　B. Nutria are an endangered species.

　　C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.

　　D. Nutria are illegally hunted.
