英文原文
Passage 3
短文3
Parents often hear that reading to their children is critical for supporting development, and the message is getting through to them. In fact, in the United States, a little over half of children between the ages of 3 and 5 were read to every day in 2007, and 83% of children in that age group in the same country were read to three or more times per week in 2012. This is good news, because reading to young children helps their language and brain development.
家長們經(jīng)常聽到，給孩子讀書對支持他們的成長至關(guān)重要，并且這一信息正在被他們所接受。事實上，在美國，2007年，3到5歲之間的孩子中，每天被讀書的孩子比例略高于一半，而到2012年，這個年齡段的孩子中，有83%每周至少被讀書三次。這是個好消息，因為給小孩子讀書有助于他們的語言和大腦發(fā)育。
In fact, recent research has found that both the quality and quantity of shared book reading and infancy predicted later childhood vocabulary and reading skills. In other words, the more time parents spend reading, the greater the developmental benefits in their four-year-old children. This is an important finding, but does it matter what books parents read?
事實上，最近的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，嬰幼兒時期親子共讀的質(zhì)量和數(shù)量可以預測孩子未來的詞匯量和閱讀能力。換句話說，父母花在閱讀上的時間越多，他們四歲孩子的發(fā)展收益就越大。這是一個重要的發(fā)現(xiàn)，但是父母讀什么書重要嗎？
A new study has investigated this question. It followed infants across the second 6 months of life and found that when parents showed babies books that had faces or objects with specific labels, they learned more. This is in contrast to books that did not name images or books that had the same label under each image. Books that named different characters also promoted greater learning. So, what does this mean for parents? Not all books are created equal, so parents need to choose the books they share with their children with great care.
一項新的研究調(diào)查了這個問題。該研究跟蹤了嬰兒出生后六個月的情況，發(fā)現(xiàn)當父母給孩子看有具體標簽的人臉或物體的書籍時，孩子學到的東西更多。這與沒有給圖像命名或每張圖片下都有相同標簽的書籍形成了對比。不同角色命名的書籍也能促進孩子的學習。那么，這對父母來說意味著什么呢？并不是所有的書都是相同的，所以父母在為孩子選擇共讀書籍時需要格外小心。
