Men with deeper voices and women with slightly higher voices were thought to sound more attractive, because they suggest a b

24、igger or a smaller body.But the new study, published by a linguistics expert in Canada, suggests there is a more complex mechanism(机制)at play. Dr Molly Babel, from the University of British Columbia in Canada, said, “The voice is an amazingly flexible tool that we use to construct our identity. Very

25、 few things in our voices are changeless, so we felt that our preferences had to be about more than a person s shape and size.She recorded 30 volunteers voices and asked each to rate the others attractiveness on a scale of one to nine. Each participant was from westernAmerica, with similar accents.

26、The people we assessed were all in the same dialect group, but they showed that dialect to different degrees.“We seem to like people who sound like we sound, we like people who fit within what we know, ” Dr Babel said. She also found that breathy voices in women-typified by the famous American actre

31、t. Your child must believe that, no matter what, someone will look out for him. Give your baby or toddler plenty of attention, encouragement, hugs and lap time.Set a good example. Children imitate what they see others do and what they hear others say. When you exercise and eat nourishing(有营养的) food,

32、 your child is more likely to do so as well. When you treat others with respect, your child probably will, too.If you share things with others, your child also will learn to be thoughtful of others feelings.Provide opportunities for repetition. It takes practice for a child to crawl, pronounce new w

33、ords or drink from a cup. Your child doesnt get bored when she repeats things. Instead, by repeating things until she learns them, your child builds the confidence she needs to try new things.Use appropriate discipline. All children need to have limits set for them. Children whose parents give them
