    Academic learning is usually in the spotlight at school, but teaching elementary-age students “soft” skills like self-control and how to get along with others might help to keep at-risk kids out of criminal trouble in the future.

    Once a program called Fast Track was started in the early 1990s for more than 7,600 children of 55 schools in America. They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems. The students were randomly divided into two groups; half took part in the intervention, which included a teacher-led curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and lessons in self-control and social skills. The program, which lasted from first grade through 10th grade, reduced delinquency(少年犯罪), arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood.

    In another latest study, by looking at the data from nearly 900 students in previous findings, researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outcomes was due to the social and self-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.

    The academic skills, or hard skills like learning of physics, which were taught as part of Fast Track, turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional(情绪的) intelligence. Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the long-term consequences when they make a decision.

    Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children as should education policymakers. To the extent we can improve those skills, we can improve outcomes in delinquency.

阅读下面文字,完成下列小题。

谭云山和东方最早的“孔子学院”

    1937年在印度泰戈尔国际大学建成的中国学院,堪称是东方最早的“孔子学院”,它培养了大批中印友好往来的使者和学者,极大促进了中印友好事业的发展,而这一切功绩都和一个人分不开,他就是谭云山。谭云山和高僧玄奘一样,为中印文化交流做出了卓越的贡献,不同之处在于玄奘是“西天取经”,谭云山是“东土送经”。

    谭云山是湖南茶陵县人。1924年,他到南洋教书、办报。1927年7月,他在新加坡见到慕名已久的印度“诗圣”泰戈尔,泰戈尔很喜欢这位热情有理想的年轻中国人,就真挚地邀请他去印度国际大学工作。

    1928年9月,谭云山来到国际大学,他先在国际大学学习梵文并研究佛学和印度文化,还开设了中文课程。同时,他不断给国内报刊写文章,介绍印度政局和印度文化。1932年和1935年,谭云山先后完成《印度周游记》和《印度丛谈》,为中国学者进一步了解印度提供了丰富的第一手资料。

    1931年,谭云山离开印度。离开前,他和印度朋友商量了一个计划,想多招收几个中国学者到印度,在国际大学办个中国学院,目的在于讲授中文和传播中国文化。在国际大学开展中印文化交流是泰戈尔1924年到中国访问时提出的,当时没有办成,现在这个重任落到了谭云山的肩上。谭云山回国后到上海任教,除了不断在报刊上发表文章介绍印度的情况,还不停地为中印文化交流奔波。1933年,在谭云山的多方努力和倡议下,在国民政府和各界名流的支持下,“中印学会”成立。泰戈尔听到这一消息,喜出望外,写信称赞“唯此伟大学会,所以保持两国文化之永远交流”,并提议“宜速即于此间建一中国学院”。

    1934年春,谭云山再次赴印,与泰戈尔商谈建立中国学院事宜。10月,谭云山回国,之后用一年多时间,募集到了足够建筑中国学院的款项,购买了10万卷中文图书,募捐到图书约5万卷。1936年,谭云山回到印度,国际大学立即选择了一块最好的位置开工兴建中国学院。1937年4月14日,正值孟加拉新年,中国学院建成并正式揭幕。泰戈尔亲自主持揭幕式,还发表了激动人心的长篇讲话。甘地和尼赫鲁都写信对中国学院的成立表示热烈祝贺,蒋介石也特地发电报给泰戈尔表示祝贺。

    印度国际大学中国学院的建立在中印文化交流史上具有划时代的意义,这座中国学院可以说是印度国土上的一块中国文化试验田,也可以视为中国在印度的“孔子学院”。学院大楼柜子里的图书都是中文的,人们之间的交流也以汉语为主,直到现在一切都没有改变。
