The breakthrough study conducted by psychologist Professor Ben Bradley, at Charles Sturt Univers
49、ity, could completely transform the way child-care centres are set up. In their study, the researchers examined groups of nine-month-old babies in New South Wales and Britain. And they came across astounding(令人吃惊的) results. It was found that infants had “social brains” and focused not just on their
50、mothers but on social life in groups as well. “They communicate with more than one baby at once, and show jealousy and generousness,” said Professor Bradley. He added, “They develop their own meanings through group interaction, they notice if a group member is behaving differently and they take on r

However, there are good and bad ways to watch television. Pare
73、nts who are interested in exploiting television as a learning tool can actually turn time in front of TV into an educational chance.Probably the most familiar educational way to use television is to simply watch educational programs. In particular, this means selecting channels and programs speciall
74、y designed for educational purposes. Along with traditional educational shows for children on public broadcasting channels, cable television now offers kids and adults a wide variety of educational programs, with everything from nature shows to historical events in different countries. Captioning (字

One study showed that children who watched captioned TV got great improvement in their vocabulary and oral reading ability. In addition, parents can m
76、ake just about any show a learning class by watching television together with children. By actively joining children in the programs that they are watching, parents can help with the development of such skills as predicting and summarizing. In order to develop predicting skills, parents and children
77、 could first refer to a programs description in a viewing guide. After reading the program description and guessing what might happen in the program, parents and children could watch together to see which predictions were correct. And to practice summarizing, after watching a program, parents can tu
78、rn off the TV and ask what the story was about. This kind of activity helps children develop thinking skills such as arranging events in an order and memorizing information.Although there will still be plenty of times when children watch TV simply for passive enjoyment, parents can help make at leas
