A
A long term American study shows the importance of early education for poor children. The study is known as the Abecedarian(初步的) Project. It involved more than one hundred young children from poor families in 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，language skills and social and emotional development. The program also included healthy foods for the children.
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.
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 childcare 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 childcare center continued to have higher average test results. These children did much better on tests of reading and mathematics.
A few years ago，organizers of the Abecedarian Project tested the students again. At the time，each student was twenty one years old. They were tested for thinking and educational ability，employment，parenting and social skills. The researchers found that the young adults who had the early education still did better in reading and mathematics tests. They were more than two times as likely to go to college or to have completed college. In addition，the children who received early education were older on average，when their first child was born.
The study offers more evidence that learning during the first months and years of life is important for all later development.
The researchers of the Abecedarian Project believe their study shows a need for lawmakers to spend money on public early education. They believe these kinds of programs could reduce the number of children who do not complete school and are unemployed.

On March 16,2018, eight year old Tanitoluwa “Tani” Adewumi, beat 73 young competitors to win the New York State Chess Championship in his age category—kindergarten to third grade. While the achievement is great in itself, what makes it even greater is that the youngster, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.
Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Nigeria in 2017，seeking religious protection. A church pastor(牧师) helped find the family of four space in a homeless shelter and soon after，Tani entered the local elementary school. It was here that the young talent was first introduced to the basics of chess by a part time teacher. Attracted by the game, the then seven year old begged his mother, Oluwatoyin，to allow him to join the school’s chess club. Considering the family would be unable to afford the fees and expenses，which add up to thousands of dollars，Oluwatoyin emailed Russel Makofsky, who ran the club. To her surprise and delight, Makofsky agreed to waive all costs for young Tani. The rest, as they say, is history. The young boy, who has got seven prizes in less than a year, currently ranks 27 in America in his age category.
Though the chess club certainly helps, it is Tani’s devotion to the game that is largely responsible for his great success. Not surprisingly, Tani’s incredible story，first reported by The New York Times, has resulted in an outpouring of support from the American public. It has raised 200,000 in just ten days, far more than the original goal of 50,000, and the funds keep coming.
Since they now have a home，the Adewumis have decided to “pay it forward” and donate the over 200,000 collected on GoFundMe. They plan to give 10 percent of the funds raised to the church that has supported them. The rest will be placed in the newly created Tanitoluwa Adewumi Trust and given to African immigrants to America who are struggling the way the family was.
5. Tani’s achievement was regarded as greater because ___________
A. he learns chess quickly. B. he was so young. C. he was hard-working. D. his teacher helped him.
6．What does the underlined part “to waive all costs for young Tani” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．To teach Tani free of charge.
B．To raise money for Tani’s family.
C．To pay for Tani’s schooling.
D．To spend more on Tani’s training.
7．What’s the key to Tani’s success
A．The support from his family.
B．His talent.
C．His devotion to the game.
D．The money donated by the public.
8．What do you think of Tani’s family
A．They are poor. B．They are kind.
C．They are honest. D．They are pitiful.
