For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent The truth may even be the opposite Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects Ten-month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an Không early age Time is too precious to spend with a “mouse” Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards viết vào Page of 13 51 Why parents want their children to learn how to use a computer from an early age?

A Never too early to start B Let kids be kids C Computers in schools D More computers mean brighter future 55 What is true according to the passage?

Computafuture can predict how many people (61) live in a particular area, or whether (62) _ will be a lot of rain during a particular period Professor Vincent also believes that (63) the year 2050,
