It is named Winston, and it will be trained to be a Helping Hands monkey. Helping Hands is a program that trains monkeys to be helpers for quadriplegics（四肢瘫痪者）.Winstons

13、preparation begins soon after its birth when it is placed with a foster（代养）family. The foster family spends a lot of time hugging Winston. This close human contact（接触）is important to help it develop a strong attachment to people.Winston already has a lot of characteristics that will be useful to qua

14、driplegics. Like humans, Winston has hands and it can pick up something as small as a piece of thread. It has a tail that it can use to carry objects, hold on to things, and keep its balance. Monkeys such as Winston are also intelligent and they learn the same way human babies do. Being raised in a

15、human environment will make Winston a better pupil when its real training begins.When Winston is four years old, the foster family must return it to the training center. At the center, Winston has a patient trainer named Lisa. First she teaches Winston to fetch. She always uses the same combination

16、of words when she wants it to perform a particular task. Each time it obeys her command, Lisa gives it a grape.

So just before Camille turne

20、d 3, Louise entered her for a Spanish-language school. Now, at 3 and a half years old, Camille loves to sing Spanish songs, and sometimes she even answers questions more quickly when her teachers ask her in Spanish rather than in English.“Kids at this age are developing language skills rapidly, and

21、they quickly absorb whatever they hear,” says Erika Levy, assistant professor of speech and language pathology at Columbia University Teachers College, in New York City. “They can learn to understand new words in two different languages at quite a fast rate. And you dont need to enter your children

22、for formal language classes to hear them repeat words and songs in a new tongue- just listen in when theyre watching television shows like Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street, which teach basic Spanish words to preschool children. Lots of parents are also supplementing this basic knowledge with bili

23、ngual（双语的）books, toys and CDs.Why are so many families doing so? “In our increasingly global world, parents realize that their kids will benefit from knowing more than one language,” says Nancy Rhodes, director of foreign-language education at the Center for Applied Linguistics, in Washington, D.C.

24、Exposing your children to a second language will help them learn about other cultures.

The 100th anniversary will be celebrated across the nation.Sally Jewell, Secretary of the Interior of the United States, started a new program called “Find Y

29、our Park.” She said being outside helps both children and adults in todays computer-driven world. “In this society, where weve got much information at our fingertips, and things to distract(分散注意力) our brains, there is little to distract our bodies and thats why parks and open spaces are so important

30、 and even more important with each passing year,” Jewell said. From beautiful lands and mountains to historical and cultural places, national parks can be found in all 50 states across the U.S. The parks had nearly 293 million visits in 2014. The Golden Gate Park in San Francisco was the most popula

31、r with 15 million visits. There are 28 different kinds of national park, and each park has an important story to tell. Jewell has invited some famous Americans to help the anniversary. American First Lady Michelle Obama and former First Lady Laura Bush were invited to share their national park stori

32、es, because the White House is one of the countrys national parks. Mrs. Obama encouraged “people across the country to “Find Your Park,” whether its in your backyard, or your hometown, or in one of our beautiful national parks.”Some well-known Americans have filmed their own personal national park stories and they can be seen on the National Park Foundation
