　　Japanese doctors carried out the country’s first heart transplant in 30 years on Sunday．The operation was made possible after a law was passed allowing such operations by defining the term “brain-dead”．The heart, liver and kidneys(肾)of a 40-year-old woman who had been confirmed(确认)brain-dead were carried by air around the country to patients in four different cities．Her heart was transplanted to a 44-year-old man in an operation that hospital officials described as successful．The woman, who had suffered a brain bleeding, was the first person carrying an organ donor(捐献)card to be declared brain-dead since a new law introduced in 1997 allowed doctors to make the diagnosis(诊断)．Before the change, Japan had not allowed a person to be declared dead for the purposes of organ transplants until the heart had stopped．

　　That made transplants difficult, as organs become less useful quickly once the heart has stopped．Until now, Japanese people needing transplants have had to travel abroad．“There are 18 people are waiting heart transplant in Japan”Prime Minister, Keizo Obchi said．Sunday’s operation would help Japan catch up with the rest of the world in organ transplant died 83 days later and the doctor was charged with murder．A court dismissed the charge against Dr Toshiro Wada who carried out the transplant, but the Japanese public still remain divided on the issue, with only a third of people favour of transplants．

　　Many Americans are turning to Japan, they think, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers．However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find．In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction．In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education．Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents(答问卷者)listed“to give children a good start academically”as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools．In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices．To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group．The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents．

　　Like in America, there is diversity(多样性)in Japanese early childhood education．Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development．In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools．Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities．Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens．

　　Milk was one of the main foods of people long before history was written．It will probably keep on being one as long as there are animals that give milk．
