03 婴孩的早期智力开发
DATE=2-20-01 TITLE=SCIENCE IN THE NEWS #2112 - Babies and (1)Intelligence BYLINE=George Grow
VOICE ONE: This is Bob Doughty.
VOICE TWO:
And this is Steve Ember with SCIENCE IN THE NEWS, a VOA Special English program about recent developments in science. Today, we discuss some recent findings about how intelligence develops in babies.
((THEME))
VOICE ONE:
Not long ago, many people believed that babies only wanted food and to be kept warm and (2)dry. Some people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old.
But doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. The National (3)Institute of Child Health and Development is an American government (4)agency. Its goal is to discover which experiences can (5)influence healthy development in humans.
Researchers at the Institute note that babies are strongly influenced by their (6)environment. They say a baby will smile if his mother says or does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please his mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and (7)communicate with other humans.
VOICE TWO:
The American researchers say this ability to learn exists in a baby even before birth. They say newborn babies can recognize and understand sounds they heard while they were still developing inside their mothers.
One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the (8)stomach of a (9)pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the scientists tested to find out if the baby knew the sounds of the story he had heard while inside his mother.
The researchers did this by placing a device in the mouth of the (10)newborn baby. The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.
((MUSIC BRIDGE))
VOICE ONE:
A few years ago, researchers in Britain showed one way a mother may influence the intelligence of her baby. They found that babies who are fed milk produced by their mothers might develop greater intelligence than those who are fed other kinds of milk.
The British study involved three-hundred babies born early, before the end of the normal nine-month development period. Two-hundred-ten babies were fed breast milk produced by their mothers. The other ninety babies were given a liquid called formula. (11) Formula is commonly used in place of mother's milk.
The babies were too small to take the milk directly from their mothers' breasts or from bottles. So, they were fed through tubes. That means the way the babies were fed did not affect the study.
VOICE TWO:
The babies involved in the study were given intelligence tests when they were eight years old. Those who were given breast milk did better on the tests than those who received formula.
The British researchers said their study should not be considered (12)final proof that children who are breast-fed are more intelligent. But they said the study did produce strong evidence that human milk contains fats and (13)hormones needed for development.
((MUSIC BRIDGE))
VOICE ONE:
Many experts say the first years of a child's life are important for all later development. One American expert believes intelligence is built on (14)emotional exchanges during the first three years of life. Stanley Greenspan is a professor at the George Washington University Medical School in Washington, D-C. He has written several books about child development.
Doctor Greenspan agrees with experts who say babies learn and develop better if they are actively involved. For example, he says playing with an eight-month-old baby is better than showing pictures to the baby. He says playing teaches the baby how to communicate.
VOICE TWO:
A few years ago, Doctor Greenspan published a book called “The Growth of the Mind.” He wrote that six experiences are necessary for a child to develop a healthy mind. These necessary experiences for children are the ability to be (15)calm and under control. Being involved with other people and forming trusting relationships. Communicating with smiles and other body movement. Seeing systems or (16)common ways to do things. Learning to create ideas. And building a link between ideas and thinking.
((MUSIC BRIDGE))
VOICE ONE:
A recent study shows how mothers can strongly influence(17) social development and language skills in their children. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (18)supervised the study. The agency worked with researchers at fourteen universities across the United States.
The study involved more than one-thousand-two-hundred mothers and children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. They observed the mothers playing with their children four times during this period.The researchers(19) attempted to measure the(20) sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children's activities and did not (21)interfere unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of the mental condition called (22)depression.
VOICE TWO:
The study found that the children of depressed women did not do as well on tests as the children of women who did not (23)suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly on tests of language skills and understanding what they heard.
These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers also noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the general health of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when the women suffered from depression.
((MUSIC BRIDGE))
VOICE ONE:
A long-term American study shows the importance of early education for poor children. The study is known as the Abecedarian Project. It involved more than one-hundred young children from poor families in the state of North Carolina.
Half of the children attended an all-day program at a high-quality childcare center. The center offered educational, health and social programs. Children took part in games and activities to increase their thinking and language skills and social and (24)emotional development. The children attended the program from when they were a few weeks old until the age of five years. The other group of children did not attend the childcare center. After the age of five, both groups attended public school.
VOICE TWO:
Researchers compared the two groups of children. When they were babies, both groups had similar results in tests for mental and physical skills. However, from the age of eighteen months, the children in the educational child care program did much better in tests.
The researchers tested the children again when they were twelve and fifteen years old. The tests found that the children who had been in the child care center continued to have higher (25)average test results. These children did much better on tests of reading and (26)mathematics.
VOICE ONE:
Recently, organizers of the (27)Abecedarian Project completed yet another examination of the students who are now twenty-one years old. They were tested for thinking and educational ability, employment, parenting and social skills.
The researchers found that the young (28)adults who had the early education still did better in reading and mathematics tests. They were more than two times as likely to be attending college or to have(29) graduated from college.
Experts say the Abecedarian Project is the longest and most carefully controlled study of the effects of early education. The study shows that early childhood education improves the educational success of poor children. The study is more evidence that learning during the first months and years of life is important for all later development.

04 西部牛仔的歌曲
Date=2-22-2001
Title=the making of a nation #129 - cowboy songs
Byline=harold braverman
announcer:
The making of a nation -- a program in special english.
(theme)
Here is kay gallant with our program.
Narrator:
last week, we talked about the growth of the (1)cattle industry. This industry started in texas during the eighteen-seventies. With its growth came a new kind of worker -- the man who watched and took care of the cattle. These men who watched the cows and rode with them as they moved across the wild lands were often young. Just boys. And so they were called "cowboys."
People all over the world have seen all sorts of films about the (2)cowboy. And he is often shown in television shows. But the real life of the cowboy is not often shown. His work has been hard, and his life (3)lonely and full of danger.
The cowboy has told his own story in many songs and ballads. Hundreds of these have come from cowboys whose names are not known. They just sang these songs as they rode on the (4)saddles of their horses across the cattle lands. Or, as they sat at their campfires at night.
They sang about the things that were close to them. Horses and Cows and danger and death. Often, they sang about the long ride to the cattle markets where the cows were sold for beef, as in this song called, "git along little dogie."
(5)dogie is another name for a young cow, (6)especially one which (7)wanders away from the herd. The song tells how the young cowboy keeps (8)driving the dogies forward. He feels sorry for them, because they will soon be sold for meat. But that's their hard luck, not his. And he keeps (9)pushing them on while he sings
. ((tape cut 1: "git along little dogie"))
One of the most famous of cowboy (10)ballads is this one, called "the chisholm trail."
((tape cut 2: "the chisholm trail")) Day and night, the horse was at the cowboy's side. A cowboy was as proud of his horse as he was of his skill in riding him. There is this feeling in the song "i ride an old paint." a paint, or pinto, is a horse of three or more different colors.
((tape cut 3: "i ride an old paint"))
The cattle herds were driven a very long way to the cattle markets and had to be kept and watched on the open trail for many weeks. And the trail took the cowboys over rough country in all kinds of weather. The wild prairie lands were not (11)friendly to men or animals. It was a lonely land. And the howling of wolves and winds at night made it more so.
Across this (12)strange land, no man in the early days of the west knew just where death was waiting for him. A listener hears the (13)mournful feeling cowboys had for the prairie in this song called, "the dying cowboy." He does not want to be buried out in these wild lands -- in the lone prairie -- as the song says. Still, the dying cowboy does not get his wish. There is no choice. He can be buried only in the lone prairie in a narrow (14)grave six by three...six feet deep and three feet wide.
((tape cut 4: "the dying cowboy"))

05 2002年冬奥会将在盐湖城举行
DATE= 2-23-2001
TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC #806 - (1)Utah Olympic Park
BYLINE=George Grow
ANNCR:
(Start at 1'05")The Two-Thousand-Two Winter Olympic Games will begin in February of next year. They will be held in and around Salt Lake City, the (2)capital of the western American state of Utah. Shep O'Neal tells us about one of the main sports areas built for the winter games.
HOST:
The Utah Olympic Park is high in the Wasatch Mountains, about forty kilometers east of Salt Lake. It is about two-thousand-two-hundred meters above sea level. The (3)mountains receive an (4)average of seven- and-one-half meters of snow each winter.
The Utah Olympic Park (5)extends over one-hundred-fifty hectares of land. The Park has five areas for ski jump (6)competitions. In warm weather, (7)skiers train on (8)special man-made jumps.
An Olympic-size track has been built for bobsleigh and (9)luge competitions. It is one of only three such tracks in North America. The track is close to the ground and has fifteen turns. Its path is (10)similar in shape to the land.
The Utah Olympic Park will hold four major (11)events during the Two-Thousand-Two Winter Games. They are the Nordic skiing, (12)bobsleigh, luge, and (13)skeleton competitions. The skeleton event has not been seen at the Olympics since Nineteen-Forty-Eight. Officials expect it to be extremely popular next year. Athletes competing in the skeleton slide down the track on a luge sled. But they lie on their stomachs instead of their backs.
The Utah Olympic Park can hold about twenty-thousand people to watch the ski jumping event. It can hold about fifteen-thousand people to see the other events. The Utah Olympic Park already is used for national and international competitions. It also (14)operates as a (15)training center for the competitors. And, young people who wish to join the United States national teams train there.
The Utah Olympic Park is open to the (16)public during the summer and winter months. Everyone is welcome to watch the athletes train and compete against each other. Visitors also can try some of the Olympic sports. This includes going down one of the ski jumps or riding on the bobsleigh or luge track.

TITLE=AMERICAN MOSAIC #806 - Foreign Student Series: Part 23, Orange Coast College
BYLINE=Nancy Steinbach
HOST:
Our VOA listener question this week comes in an e-mail from (18)Vietnam. Nguyen Hanh Thao asks about Orange Coast College.
(19)Orange (20)Coast College is one of the largest (21)community colleges in the United States. It is in the southern California town of Costa Mesa. Orange Coast College offers more than one-hundred programs to train students for jobs. Students usually graduate after two years. Orange Coast College also prepares students to continue studying at a four-year college or university.
College officials say foreign students who want to attend Orange Coast College must earn a score of at least five-hundred on the written Test of English as a Foreign Language. Foreign students must also be tested in English and (22)mathematics when they arrive at Orange Coast College. Each student has an adviser to help choose which classes to take.
Classes for one year at Orange Coast Community College cost about three-thousand dollars. Housing and food cost another seven-thousand dollars. Orange Coast College does not provide housing for its students. However, its International Student Center helps foreign students find American families in the (23)area with whom they can live. The International Student Center also helps foreign students prepare any necessary (24)documents, choose (25)activities and plan for (26)trips.
More than twenty-two-thousand students (27)attend Orange Coast College. More than one-thousand-two-hundred are from outside the United States. They are from seventy-four different nations. College officials say about half the foreign students are in work-training programs. The others are preparing to attend a four-year college or university. Most are studying (28)business or (29)computer science.
You can learn more about Orange Coast College by using a computer. The address is www.occ.edu. Students who use a computer can get similar information about any American college by typing the college's name into a computer search engine. Click on the name from the list provided and the college's (30)web (31)site should appear.
