　　(原创)(Nov. 16, 2012)—Children who learn how to swim at a young age are reaching many developmental milestones earlier than the norm.

　　Researchers from the Griffith Institute for Educational Research surveyed parents of 7, 000 under-fives from Australia, New Zealand and the US over three years.

　　A further 180 children aged 3, 4 and 5 have been involved in intensive testing, making it the world’s most comprehensive study into early-years swimming.

　　Lead researcher Professor Robyn Jorgensen says the study shows young children who participate in early-years swimming achieve a wide range of skills earlier than the normal population.

　　“Many of these skills are those that help young children into the transition(过渡, 转变)into formal learning surroundings such as pre-school or school.

　　”

　　The research also found significant differences between the swimming groups and non-swimmers regardless of socio-economic background.

　　While the two higher socio-economic groups performed better than the lower two in testing, the four SES(工程科学协会(美))groups all performed better than the normal population.

　　The researchers also found there were no gender differences between the research groups and the normal population.

　　As well as achieving physical milestones faster, children also scored significantly better in visual-motor skills such as cutting paper, colouring in and drawing lines and shapes, and many mathematically-related tasks. Their oral expression was also better as well as in the general areas of literacy and numeracy.

　　“Many of these skills are highly valuable in other learning environments and will be of considerable benefit for young children as they are in transition into pre-schools and schools.

　　”

　　The study is a joint project between Griffith University, Kids Alive Swim Program and Swim Australia. (284W)

　　1. The purpose of the passage is　.

　　A. to advertise for swimming

　　B. to call on children to learn how to swim

　　C. to illustrate a study related to swimming

　　2. Which of the following is the result of the study?

　　A. More than 7, 000 children participated in the testing.

　　B. The younger children learn to swim, the wiser they are.

　　C. Boys are cleverer than girls.

　　D. The scores of the two higher socio-economic groups are higher than the lower two in testing.

　　3. How many skills that children achieved in their early years’s wimming are mentioned in the passage?

　　A. 3.

　　B. 4.

　　C. 5.
