She is quiet but alert(警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card wit

11、h two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝视)starts to lose its focus until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze re

12、turns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return

13、of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves.

26、)I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (准允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit dow

27、n, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated (受挫), but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate（准确） when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed whi

28、le standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Now those same people perha

29、ps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have

30、 stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being

31、personal and unique (独特的). It makes us free and happy and thats just the way I want my kids to live their own life. 29.

Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. Parental help with teens studyB. Adult influence on teen growthC. Kids success in th

34、eir own stylesD. Friendship between generations(4)Three years ago, five parrots were set free in a wild place of Arizona, thousands of miles from the Channel Islands in Jersey. They had been looked after by zookeepers. No evolutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new Landscape of m

35、ountainous pine forest which had not been occupied(占据) by their king for 50 years. To the researchers surprise, they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time. Within 24 hours the reintroducing ended in failure, and the poor birds were bac

36、k in cages(鸟笼), on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme. Ever since then, the programme has enjoyed great success, mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild, confiscated on arrival north of the border, and raised by their pa

37、rents in the safety of the programme. The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology（心理） of parrots, as Peter Bennett, a bird researcher, points out:“ Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult. People like parrots, always treating the

38、m as nothing more than pets or valuable collectables. ” Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out, biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds. Last year was an important turning point: conservationists founded the

39、 World Parrot Trust, based at Hayle in Cornwall, to support research into both wild and caged birds. Research on parrots is profound for two reasons. Forest, as the Arizona programme showed, when reintroducing parrots to the wild, we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to surviv

40、e in their natural home. We also need to learn more about the needs of parrots kept as pets, particularly as the Trusts campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice, but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans. 33.

41、 ago shows that man-raised parrots _. A. can find their way back home in Jersey B. are unable to recognize their parents C. are unable to adapt to the wild D. can produce a new species 34.

According to the passage, people are advised_. A. to treat wild and caged parrots equally B to set up comfortable homes for parrots
