26、Hands-on basketball
The boy was only nine years old when he designed a “hands-on basketball”. Chris Haas had the idea when he saw his friends miss lots of baskets. His basketball has painted hands on it. The hands show you where to put your hands when you throw the ball. Today people use his invention around the world.
Wristies
At age 10, Kathryn Gregory was playing outside one day in the cold. Her wrists (手腕) began to hurt from the cold so she decided to find a way to keep both her hands and wrists warm during the winter. In 1994, she invented Wristies: fuzzy sleeves (毛绒袖子) that can be worn underneath gloves to protect your wrists from the cold. She worked with her mom to get the idea off the ground and now the product is sold worldwide.
Makin’ Bacon
Abbey Fleck was 8 years old when she noticed how much time her parents spent soaking up bacon fat (吸干培根油脂) after cooking. She realized that it might be easier to hang bacon while it cooks. That way you wouldn’t need paper towels and it would even make the bacon healthier. She then worked with her father to design a dish that hangs bacon while it cooks. Now people can see her invention in many supermarkets.
Braille
Louis Braille had an accident when he was three. The accident left him blind. At that time, it was hard for blind children to read. They had to touch raised letters. But it was difficult to tell a Q from an O, an R from a B, and so on. When he was fifteen, Louis invented an alphabet (字母表) that used raised dots. The Braille alphabet was a big success!

27、Given all the heated debates about how America's children should be taught, it may come as a surprise to learn that students spend less than 15% of their time in school. While there's no doubt that school is important, a series of recent studies remind us that parents are even more so. A study, for example, finds that parental involvement -checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home -has a more powerful influence on students' academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study, reports that the effort put forth by parents has a bigger impact on their children's educational achievement than the effort devoted by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1,000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement.
So parents matter a lot -a point made clear by decades of research showing that a major part of the academic advantage held by children from wealthy families comes from the “concerted cultivation (协作培养) of children” as compared to the more laissez faire(散养的) style of parenting common in working- -class families. But this research also reveals something else that parents, of all backgrounds, don't need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an edge. They don't need to drive their offspring to enrichment classes or test-prep courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler talk,
But not just any talk. Although well-known research by psychologists Betty Hart and Todd Risley has shown that professional parents talk more to their children than less- affluent (不富有的)parents-a lot more, resulting in a 30 million “word gap” by the time children reach age three-more recent researches are raising our sense of exactly what kinds of talks at home contributed to children's success at school. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics found that two way adult-child conversations were six times as effective in promoting language development as intervals (间歇)in which the adult did all the talking. Engaging in this mutual back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thoughts and opinions matter. As they grow older, this feeling helps middle-and upper-class kids develop into confident supporters for their own interests, while working-class students tend to avoid asking for help or arguing their own case with teachers, according to a research presented at American Sociological Association conference earlier this year.
The content of parents’ conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge, which predicts future achievement in the subject. Psychologist Susan Levine, who led the study on number words, has also found that the amount of talk young children hear about the spatial properties of the physical world-how big or small or round or sharp objects are-predicts kids’ problem-solving abilities as they prepare to enter kindergarten
While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong. And again, the way mothers and fathers talk to their middle-school students makes a difference. Research by Nancy Hill, a professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, finds that parents play an important role in what Hill calls "academic socialization”-setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals (going to college, getting a good job).Engaging in these sorts of conversations, Hill reports, has a greater impact on educational accomplishment than volunteering at a child's school or going to PTA meetings, or even taking children to libraries and museums. When it comes to promoting students’ success, it seems, it's not so much what parents do as what they say.
【1】The first paragraph mainly tells us that_______.
A．Teaching methods are vital to students in the USA
B．schooling is necessary for American students

A．children from rich families may have more academic advantages
B．working-class parents tend to talk to their children more
C．wealthy families tend to adopt laissez-faire style of parenting
D．parents have many ways to give their children an advantage
【3】What is the most effective talk between parents and children in improving language development?
A．Professional parents’ talk.
B．Two-way conversation.
C．Adults talking all the time.
D．Children speaking as interludes.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．It’s necessary for children to follow the example of their children.
B．Children should be active in their educational accomplishment.
C．Parents should often communicate with the teachers of their children.
