Ⅰ.阅读理解 An important lesson in the moral education of children could be as close as the book in their hands.Stories can play a role in changing the importance of particular moral values in young audiences，according to the result of a new study. “Media can greatly influence separate moral values and get kids to place more or less importance on those values depending on what is uniquely stressed in that content，” says Lindsay Hahn，PhD，a professor in the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences. Hahn is first author of the new study，which adds an important part to a body of literature that explores how media content affects children.While many previous studies have focused on broad conceptualisations(概念化)，like positive or negative effects of specific content，Hahn's study looks at how reading of content featuring specific moral values might influence the weight kids place on those values. Do children reading about particular moral characteristics absorb those qualities as building blocks for their own morality The findings suggest so，and further support how this indirect approach to socializing children's morality can add to the direct teaching of moral principles kids might receive through formal instruction. For the study，Hahn and her colleagues took the main character from a teenager story and edited the content to reflect in each version(版本) the study's focus on one of four moral values.A fifth version was changed in a way that featured an amoral main character.The stories were shared with about 200 participants between the ages of 10 and 14.The team then measured the importance kids place on moral values to find out how participants might be influenced by specific stories. “Measuring these effects can be difficult，” says Hahn.“That's why one purpose of this research was to develop a measure of moral values for kids.” 1．What can be inferred from the results of the study A．Good virtues can carry children through hard times.
