| In a time of low academic (学术的) achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic (经济上的) success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little stress is put on academic instruction. In one study, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese listed "to give children a good start academically" as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In comparison, over half the Americans chose this as one of"their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese chose group experience as one of their top three reasons while 62 percent of the more individually oriented (强调 个性发展的) Americans chose it. A stress on the importance of the group continues into Japanese primary school education Like in America, there is diversity (多样性) in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have primary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children"s chances of finally being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. | |||||||||||||||||

| The Red Panda isn"t much bigger than an average size house cat. At first you may think it"s a bear because of its name. They"re actually a member of the raccoon (浣熊) family which you can tell if you look at their appearance. The Red Panda has a long bushy tail that is useful in two ways. It helps them stay balanced when they are high up in the trees and it keeps them warm in cold weather. Their fur is thick and reddish brown, which may be why they"re known as the firefox. The Red Panda can be found in forested mountains. They"re originally from the forested mountain in the Himalayas in India, Nepal and southern China. Bamboo is the most important part of their diet. They only eat the young leaves and shoots of a bamhoo plant. Red Pandas have a very low metabolic rate (代谢率) in order to deal with their low energy diet and cool environmental temperatures. They"re very shy and gentle and don"t hang around the wild too much during the day. If they feel endangered, they"ll stand on their back legs and make a hissing (嘶嘶的) sound. Red Pandas are good climbers and spend most of their time living mainly in trees. Their claws are very strong and help them hold onto the branches. They sleep in an unusual way by curling up tightly and wrapping their tail around their head while sitting on a branch. Sometimes they"ll sleep with their head beneath their chest and behind their back feet. This is the same position as an American raccoon sleeps. | |||||||||||||||||
