24、Books Bring Success
People growing with more books are more likely to be successful. |
According to German novelist Heinrich Mann, a house without books is like a room without windows. Mann simply stated the value of books, but some researchers have found evidence that people with books in their homes really do gain a window on the world.
A new study in the journal Social Science Research, published in October, suggests that people who grow up with more books are more likely to have educational advantages, and to achieve more in life, than people who grow up without them.
In the study, over 160,000 adults from 31 countries and regions were asked about the number of books there were in their homes when they were 16 years old. They were then given tests in literacy (读写能力), numeracy (计算能力) and information communication technology.
The research shows that the number of books for each household varies greatly from country to country. For example, the number of books is 27 in Turkey, 143 in the UK and 218 in Estonia. But “the total effects of home library size on literacy are large everywhere”.
The researchers found that people who had only lower levels of secondary education but had a large number of books at home got a similar score as university graduates who grew up with only a few books.
The Guardian newspaper commented that “bookish adolescence makes for a good deal of educational advantage.”
“Adolescent exposure to books can compensate for shortcomings not only in adult literacy but also numeracy: its impacts are equal to additional years of education,” Sikora told Science Alert.
Apart from the educational benefits, growing up with more books also plays an important role in adult success.
Through analyzing their personal information, researchers found that people surrounded by books in adolescence are on average more successful in adulthood than those who had only few books at a younger age.
“Early exposure to books in the parental home matters because books are an basic part of routines and practices that enrich lifelong cognitive competencies (认知能力)”, Sikora told Science Alert. These competencies are important to future development.
Without doubt, the fact that we are moving toward a digital era could weaken the importance of printed books. For now, however, “they still seem to maintain quite a large positive benefit, which shows no sign of abating (减弱)”, researchers wrote in the paper.
【1】What’s the study mainly about?
A. Reading habits of different countries.
B. The benefits of growing up with more books.
C. How reading books brings educational advantages.
D. The impacts of books on people of different ages.
【2】How many books do an average British family own, according to the study?
A. 27. B. 32. C. 143. D. 218.
【3】The underlined phrase “compensate for” probably means ______.
A. make up for B. result in C. prepare for D. draw attention to
【4】According to the study, people who read more books in adolescence are likely to ______.
a. have better literacy
b. achieve more in adulthood
c. have better communication skills
d. achieve more pleasant personalities
A. ac B. bc C. cd D. ab

26、Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.
In the middle of the wall there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.
A little higher above the formulas (公式), there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.
Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last semester (学期) in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!
If you “explore” the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns (图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can’t understand, but they all show the feelings of the students who drew them.
For years, the wall has witnessed (目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don’t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.
根据短文内容,判断下列各句正(T)误(F)。
【1】There are few letters and pictures on the wall.
【2】The writer can understand the patterns on the wall.
【3】There is a big “VICTORY” in the center of the wall.
【4】The patterns and letters on the wall show the feelings of the students who drew them.
【5】The writer hopes more smiling faces will be drawn on the wall.
