Just because a toy’s packaging says it’s educational doesn’t make it so. That’s the finding from a new study in JAMA Pediatrics that found some toys being marketed as language promoters got in the way of learning.
    Research shows that for kids to understand, speak and eventually read or write a language, they need to hear it—lots of it. And it’s never too early for parents and caregivers to get talking. That explains the booming industry in talking electronic toys that claim to help kids learn language. The study focused on roughly two-dozen children between the ages of 10 and 16 months old. Researchers outfitted them with little microphones tucked into special vests or shirts that could record the infants playing at home with Mom or Dad.
    1. What’s the finding of the new study in JAMA Pediatrics?
    2. How many children does the research focus on?

选项 A、Some toys’ packages are harmful to kid’s health.
B、The toys labeling as language promoters don’t work.
C、It is necessary for kids to speak early.
D、Some special microphones are introduced.

答案 B

解析 新闻开头提到,包装上说有教育功能的(educational)并不能真正让玩具有教育意义(doesn’t make it so),意下之义即一些标榜有教育意义的玩具实际上并不能做到这一点,故B正确。A“一些玩具的包装对小孩的健康有害”利用package一词作干扰,并没有实质根据。C“有必要让孩子尽快多说话很有必要”符合事实,但并非研究的发现。D中的microphones具有干扰性,因为录音最后提到研究人员把小麦克风塞进特殊背心或衬衫,用于记录,但这只是研究的过程,并不是研究发现的成果。
