问题     If there’s one rule that most parents cling to in the confusing, fast-changing world of kids and media, it’s "No screens before age 2."
    As of today, that rule has been thrown out the window.
    The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which first issued that recommendation back in 1999, has extensively updated and revised its guidelines for children and adolescents to reflect new research and new habits.
    The new guidelines, especially for very young children, shift the focus from WHAT is on the screen to WHO else is in the room. And in doing so, they raise some intriguing points about the future of learning from media
    For babies younger than 18 months, AAP still says no screens at all are the best idea—with one notable exception: Live video chat. Surveys indicate that families already popularly believe that "Face time doesn’t count", or at least that the benefit of virtual visits with grandparents or other relatives outweighs the potential cost of exposing babies to the laptop or smartphone.
    The AAP doesn’t cite positive evidence that infants actually get something out of this kind of "conversation", the way that they clearly do from live social interaction. But there’s some observational research that infants as young as six months old are emotionally engaged by playing live peekaboo (躲猫猫游戏) with Grandma online.
    For infants and toddlers (学步儿童), ages 15 months to 2 years old, there’s limited evidence from a couple of very small studies that they can learn new words from educational media, if and only if parents are watching alongside them, repeating what the video says and/or drawing attention to what is on the screen. In other words, treating a video or an app like a picture book is the best bet.
    The flip side of this is that many studies have actually shown poorer language skills correlated with earlier solo viewing of "educational" videos. There’s also research that shows language delays in children who watch more TV and start watching earlier. In both cases, the problem seems to be media replacing interaction with people. For this reason, the new AAP guideline has changed from "avoid all screens under age 2" to "avoid solo media use in this age group."
    For preschoolers ages 2 to 5, there’s more evidence that they have the ability to transfer knowledge from screens to the real world, including early literacy and math. For this age group, AAP recommends no more than an hour a day of screen use. And, just as with younger children, they want care-givers to take part in screen time: "Co-view with your children, help children understand what they are seeing, and help them apply what they learn to the world around them."
What do researches find about kids solo viewing educational videos?
选项 A、It arouses their interest in language learning.
B、It works no better than reading picture books.
C、It hampers their development of language skills.
D、It helps them acquire independent learning skills.
答案C
解析 根据题干中的educational videos定位至倒数第2段。题目询问关于孩子独自观看教育视频的研究发现。倒数第2段第1句提到，许多研究证明，语言技能低下与较早独自观看“教育”视频有关。故选C项“阻碍了其语言技能的发展”。A项“激发他们对语言学习的兴趣”和D项“帮助他们获得独立自主学习的技能”属于无中生有。倒数第3段最后一句提到，最好的做法是把视频、应用程序当作绘本来对待，意思是看视频或看应用程序就像看绘本一样，需要大人陪同、引导，B项“它的效果并不比读绘本好”曲解文意。
