    For over a century,the Nashua River in Massachusetts provided power for factories,which gave jobs to thousands of people.Over the years,these paper,cotton,wood,and woolen factories had poured their waste into its waters.

    By the 1960s,the Nashua River was about as polluted as any river could get.Its waters became red or green or blue with dye(染料)from paper factories lying on its banks.The smokes from this dye blackened the paint on the buildings near the river.

    Then along came Marion Stoddart with a simple but overwhelming(压倒性的)idea-clean up the Nashua River. This was no one-woman campaign.Stoddart encouraged the paper factories and the business community to form partnerships to reclaim the river.She carried jars of dirty river water to local officials to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem.Stoddart talked with business leaders about economic problems.She talked with environmentalists about the long-term problems of pollution.

    Stoddart knew that the State Water Pollution Control Board would have the final say on forcing the clean-up. When she spoke to the board,she insisted that the Nashua River.should be made safe for swimming.They thought her goals were unrealistic.

    However,the partnerships Stoddart had helped form and the volunteers who were drawn to her cause never gave up.They all realized that cleaning up the river was in everyone's best interests.By 1993,several water treatment plants had been built,and a conservation area called a "green way" had been created along the banks of the river.

    Today factories are still operating along the river,but there are also fish in the river.The Nashua River welcomes boaters,naturalists,and even swimmers.None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together.

    When children start kindergarten,evident gaps in science knowledge already exist between Whites and minorities and between youngsters from upper-income and low-income families.And they often deepen into significant achievement gaps by the end of eighth grade if they are not dealt with during elementary school.

    The findings suggest that,in order tor 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.

32.Which may be the possible result of the gaps in science knowledge during kindergarten?

A.Children from rich families wilt 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.

33.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.

34.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.

35.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
