"Seasame Street" has been called "the longest street in the world".
This is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world.
The program, which went on the air in New York in 1969, usessongs ,jokes, and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers,letters and human relationships. More than 6 million
chil- dren in the United States watch it regularly. The viewers (观众) include more than half the nation' s children before school age.
Many teachers consider the program a great help, though some teachers find that problems happen when the first-year pupils who have learned from "Seasame Street" are in the same class mwith those who have not watched the program. Tests have shown that children who watch it five times a week learn more
than those who seldom watch it. In the United States the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.
Why has ' Seasame Street" been so much more successful than other children' s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. Perhaps one reason is that mothers watch "Seasame Street" along with
their children. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.

A young woman rode with her new husband in a wagon(四轮马车). They came to a log cabin(小木屋). The man shouted and a little boy came running out of the cabin. Sarah, the youngwoman, got down from the wagon, opened wide her arms and held the boy close.
"Hello, Abe Lincoln," she said. "I think we'll be good friends. "
The new mother with the smiling face went to work at once. She washed Abe and his sister and tidied(弄整齐) their hair. And that night she threw away the boy's mattress(床垫) of leaves and gave him a soft mattress and enough blankets to keep him warm at night.
Sarah wove cloth and made new shirts for Abe. She made him new deerskin trousers and even deerskin shoes.

read.
