11、nline, and I wanted to see if any of my friends needed to clean off their bookshelves at home. I was hoping to get maybe 50 books for the first round of birthdays.” The number of books Cook received was surprising. “Were probably getting maybe 500 books,” said Cook.

12、 space all over his office.The idea started when Cook attended a professional development event. He asked another principal for advice.

13、elf. He came up with the idea that a principal should share his excitement and love for reading.

17、excitementBFor more than 60 years, Lego bricks (乐高积木) have brought so much fun to children. Now, a new type of Lego is in the works. Theyre Lego Braille (盲文) Bricks, and theyre being tested around the world. Lego Braille Bricks are designed to help people learn Braille. Thats a set of writing in whi
18、ch letters are shown by raised dots (凸点). People who are blind or have some problems with their eyes use their fingers to read it. According to the World Health Organization, 36 million people worldwide are blind. In the U.S., only 10% of blind children learn Braille. Lego Braille Bricks can help ch
19、ange that. The small raised dots on the bricks are placed as Braille letters. Blind children can use these raised dots to learn Braille. Lego plans to start selling Braille Bricks next year. For some schools, the bricks will be free. Each set will contain about 250 bricks. Along with the letters, th
20、e bricks will have numbers and math symbols.The Danish Association of the Blind was one of the first organizations to come up with the idea of using Lego bricks to teach Braille. Thorkild Olesen is the president of the group. In 2011, Olesens organization shared its idea for Braille Bricks with the
21、Lego Foundation. Olesen explained to the toy maker that the raised dots on Legos are similar to Braille letters. Olesen is blind. He says many teachers dont have the tools and skills to help kids learn Braille. So they teach with audio (音频的) tools, such as audio books. “Like any other people, we nee
22、d to express ourselves in writing,” Olesen said. “Audio is great. But it can never replace Braille.

To prove that writing and reading help kids express.D. To show he put forward the idea of Lego Braille Bricks.C“If you dont behave, Ill c
25、all the police” is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. A new psychology study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore suggests that it is connected with harmful effects when the children become adults.The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whe
26、ther their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they respond to adulthood challenges. The first questionnaire asked these young adults to recall if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so
27、 on. Some examples of such lies are “If you dont come with me now, I will leave you here by yourself” and “I dont bring money with me today; we can come back another day”. The second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents as adults. Lastly, these young a
28、dults filled in two other questionnaires that asked them about their psychological problems and tendency to behave selfishly and impulsively (冲动地). Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report lying to their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced great
29、er difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges. Lead author Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapores School of Social Sciences said, “Parenting by lying can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. When paren
30、ts tell children that honesty is the best policy, but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send negative (消极的) messages to their children. Parents dishonesty may finally erode trust and encourage dishonesty in children.”“Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has
31、negative influence on children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of these possible risks and consider other ways to replace lying, such as knowing childrens feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to
32、 have good behavior,” said lead author Setoh Peipei. But the study has its limitations. Some limitations of the study include depending on what young adults report about their parents lying. “Future research can explore using many informants, such as parents, to report on the same thing,” suggested Setoh. 27. What did the research team do during the study?A. They turned to 379 Singaporean children.B. The
