It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called "Headstart" was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school But the results have been disappointing,because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind
their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day,"Headstart" children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment To improve the results,another program was started in Missouri that concentrated onparents as the child's first teachers This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four years study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age and family structure.he program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance,and useful skills on child development.
At three, the children involved in the Miss our program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio- economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child's development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families The"Missouri" program compares quite distinctly with the Headstart program Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it
will not be enough to overcome education unfairness .

(4) How does the author develop the passage?

One day, he came home from teaching,ate his dinner and went to bed. That evening, my"healthy" brother died suddenly of a cardiac arrest(心跳骤停) My parents were extremely sad.

Then there was a man who came in bringing money, saying that Gene had lent him some when he was down and out. Gene had never asked him for the money back. From the school president to the guard, people came. And because of his good heart and deeds, my younger brother was awarded a full scholarship in the school as a tribute to my dead brother.
In the end, my parents realized that even at the young age of 26, my brother had lived a full life and was very instrumental in helping others live theirs a little better
