A recent study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important.These experiences affect the development of the brain.When children receive more attention,they often have higher IQs.Babies receive information when they see,hear and feel things,which makes connections between different parts of the brain.There are a hundred trillion connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.
 Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at telling different sound patterns.The researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns.For example,one order was mu-ba-ba.This is the pattern "A -B- B".Another order was mu-ba-ge.This is the pattern "A-B-C".The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the "A-B-B" pattern.This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns.They also were sensitive(敏感的)to where it occurred in the order.
 Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the base of words and grammar,"Position is key to language," she says. "If something is at the beginning or at the end,it makes a big difference: 'John caught the bear' is very different from 'The bear caught John'."
 Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions,audio books,the Internet,or smartphones--no matter how educational-- doesn't appear to be enough for children's brain development.They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies.They expected the first group who'd watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to- face with the same sounds.Instead they found a huge difference.The babies in the second group were able to distinguish (辨別)between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners.But the other babies一regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio-learned nothing.

  • 1.You're sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠).Suddenly,you're yawning with him,though you're not tired.
       This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans.Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有感染力的)yawning,which showed that humans communicate regularly with out words.
       Hugo Critchley,a neuroscientist,has conducted an experiment recently,which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold.According to Critchley,our minds and bodies are in constant exchange about how we're feeling. "Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(內(nèi)部的)responses,"he explained."There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions.When we're in a group,these signals can spread to another person.For example,there's the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise,anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure."
       Hugo Critchley further explained,"Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person,we ever copy his behavior.Next time you chat with a friend,take note of how you're sitting-it's pretty likely that you will be the same.Scientists believe it's our way of telling each other that we're partners.Through body language,humans give each other very subtle(微妙的)but clear signals that show emotions."
       So,what lessons can we learn from this?"Spend time with happy people-otherwise your health could suffer,"said Critchley."When we're sad,our body goes into fight or flight mode.But when we're happy,our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive.So we look bright,our skin glows,we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us."

    (1)According to Hugo Critchley,
    .
    A.emotions are as visible as facial expressions
    B.we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
    C.emotions are connected with states of internal responses
    D.the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions
    (2)The underlined word "synchronise"in Paragraph 4 means
    .
    A.move slowly
    B.change rapidly
    C.relax temporarily
    D.respond accordingly
    (3)From the passage we can learn
    .
    A.sadness is as contagious as happiness
    B.a(chǎn)nger is less contagious than smile
    C.surprise is more contagious than smile
    D.surprise is the most contagious among emotions
    (4)Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

    A.Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.
    B.Children like copying the actions of the fellow humans.
    C.Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
    D.People tend to communicate more with body language.

  • 3.Every year in May,art galleries and museums prepare shows to honor Leonardo Da Vinci,who died in France on May 2,1519.He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and creative thinkers of all time.His most famous paintings are The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
        Recently,researchers have been studying a painting—Landscape 8 P which,they think,is Da Vinci's earliest-known artwork.They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images(圖像),not one.One drawing is on the back of the piece,which dates back to August 5,1473.
        The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old.It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence.There is little left of the drawing on the back,perhaps because it was wiped off.Only a bridge over a river can be seen.But there is writing on both sides.
       The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left.Some people would call this "mirror-writing".It's a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks.The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells about an agreement,probably to produce a work of art.
       Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian.She said,"Leonardo was born left-handed,but was taught to write with his right hand from a very young age.By looking at his writings,including from this drawing,we can see his right-handed handwriting is educated and well done. "
        Experts compared the two handwriting samples(樣本)and said they were both made by Leonardo.They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
       The drawing is known as Landscape 8 P from its number in an art list.It will be part of an exhibit at Italy's Uffizi Gallery.The gallery director,Eike Schmidt,said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing technique and his abilities in writing.

    (1)Which of the following mentioned in the text has been studied by researchers recently?

    A.The Mona Lisa.
    B.Landscape 8 P.
    C.Mirror-writing.
    D.The Last Supper.
    (2)What does the writing on the back probably tell about?

    A.A statement about the painting.
    B.An introduction about Leonardo.
    C.An agreement to produce a painting.
    D.Something about the city of Florence.
    (3)What can we learn about Leonardo from Cecilia's words?

    A.He could write with either of his hands.
    B.He did bad in right-handed handwriting.
    C.He wasn't good at writing with his left hand.
    D.He taught himself to write with right hand.
    (4)What's Eike Schmidt's attitude towards the research?

    A.Unclear.
    B.Indifferent.
    C.Doubtful.
    D.Positive.
