The findings suggest that in order for the United States to maintain long-term scientific and economic competitiveness in the world, policymakers need to renew efforts to ensure access to high-quality,early learning experiences in childcare settings,preschools and elementary schools. The researchers’ study tracked 7,757 children from their start in kindergarten to the end of eighth grade. Researchers found that among kindergarteners with low levels of general knowledge, 62 percent were struggling in science by the time they reached third grade and 54 percent were struggling in that subject in eighth grade.And general knowledge gaps between minorities and Whites were already large at the time when students began kindergarten. “Children growing up in low-income families typically experience comparatively fewer early opportunities to learn about the natural and social sciences,” the authors wrote.“Their parents often have lower educational levels and therefore less science knowledge themselves as well as fewer resources available to direct the children's academic growth.Children raised in poverty often attend poorly resourced schools that further limit their academic opportunities.” Morgan said that,within families,parents who regularly talk and interact with toddlers（学步的儿童）can point out and explain physical,natural and social events occurring around them daily.This might help youngsters learn facts and concepts that will prepare them to take better advantage of science instruction they receive during elementary and middle school. 5. Which may be the possible result of the gaps in science knowledge during kindergarten? A.Children from rich families will behave better in life. B.Children from minorities may have less desire for learning. C.The gaps will disappear automatically when children grow up. D.Children's academic performance afterwards will be affected. 6. What did the researchers suggest policymakers do? A.Narrow income gaps between different families. B. Make good education available to children. C.Give extra lessons to children from poor families. D. Strengthen competitive awareness of kindergarteners. 7. What can parents do to help their toddlers learn? A. Offer them more learning resources. B. Give them more nutritious food. C. Create learning opportunities in daily life. D.Let them attend science courses for kids. 8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Equal Education Is Important in Kindergarten B.Income Gaps Affect Children's School Performances C.Provide More Available Access to Childhood Learning D.Science Knowledge Gaps Are Obvious in Kindergarten C University can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled, Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram account will remind you when there are new photos. These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunning them at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without. “I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to share everything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never used Facebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.” I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because, not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around people’s lives. People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything
