Most adults show less interest in climate（气候）change than young people. Yet it's adults who have the power to influence the policies（政策）causing climate change. Now a new study shows that teenagers may be able to raise their parents' interest in human effects on climate.
In the study, a new curriculum（课程）was used in some schools in coastal North Carolina. The students worked on four activities centered on the connections between climate change and local wildlife. They also took part in a community-based project and interviewed their parents about the changes in weather they had noticed in their lifetimes. To see how attitudes changed as a result of the program, the researchers surveyed both students and parents at the beginning and the end of the study.
The study shows the students who completed the climate change module cared more about the issue（问题）. The effect was even stronger among parents. Experts say the program's success had a lot to do with how teachers dealt with climate change in the classroom.
"Reading a textbook and completing a worksheet are unlikely to lead students to talk about their day at the dinner table, ”says Martha Monroe, an expert on environmental education at the University of Florida. Instead, the researchers designed hands-on lessons focused on local issues. For example, one task involved monitoring the weather outside the school and comparing it with historical information about the area.
Those activities may have helped increase parental involvement. "If you can get kids so excited and talking with their parents about what they are learning in schools, parents will want to learn, ”says Danielle Lawson, a social scientist and leading researcher of the study. However, she adds, “We are not telling the students what to think or what to say. That way, kids didn't feel that there was all this responsibility put on them to change their parents' minds about anything.”
Lawson is hopeful that kids can boost their parents' understanding of climate science. "I know how powerful kids can be, ”Lawson says. "Kids don't need a special curriculum to discuss climate change at home. They just need to talk to their parents about what they see going on.”
1.The second paragraph is mainly about
A.how the study was carried out
B.how the activities were designed
C.why a new curriculum was introduced
D.why both students and parents were surveyed
2.What can we learn about the new curriculum from the passage?
A.It developed students' communication skills.
B.It focused on lessons about climate change in textbooks.
C.It helped students feel responsible to change their parents.
D.It created more chances for families to talk about climate change.
3.The word "boost" in the last paragraph probably means “_____________”.
A.check B.express C.improve D.share
