Of 255 right-ha

38、nded mothers 83% held the baby on the left. And out of 32 left-handed women 78% held the baby on the left. As a control women were watched coming from supermarkets carrying baby-sized bags; the bags were held with no side preference. Then dental patients were given a large rubber ball to hold during

39、 treatment. The majority held the ball to their left side even when it interfered with the dentists activities. This suggested that in times of stress objects are held against the left side. At that point something clearly contrary was observed. A large number of mothers who brought their premature

40、(早产的) babies to a clinic were seen to hold their babies against their right side. So 115 mothers who had been separated from their babies for 24 hours after birth were observed for holding response. The experimenters presented the baby directly to midline of the mothers body and noted how she held t

41、he baby. 53% placed the baby on the left and 47% on the right. And it was also noted that the mothers of the group who had held their baby on the left had already had a baby from which they had not been separated after birth. Left-handed holding enables the baby to hear the heartbeat. In order to di

42、scover whether hearing the heart has a beneficial effect on the baby, the sound of a human heart-beat was played to 102 babies in a New York nursery for 4 days. A control group of babies was not exposed to heart-beats. The babies in the heart-beat group gained more weight and cried far less than the

47、the heart is on that side 来源:高&考%资(源#网KS5U.COMDIn 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.The next important da

48、te in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype. S

49、oon, other people began to use Daguerres process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was

50、not simple. The photographers had to cary lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities. Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of f

51、amous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality（个性）. Brady was also the first preson to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible. In the 1880s, new i

52、nventions began to change photography Photographers could buy films readymade in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry

53、 lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive. With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures

54、“snapshot”. Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing. Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 10th century. Some pho

55、tographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms. 67.

59、ty there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it takes responsibility for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught

60、 many children who hold the belief that their self-worth relies on how well they perform at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit if success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. Howev

61、er, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the strongest are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from t

62、heir parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitt

63、ed by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect reli

64、es on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.Opinions about 71._ are different among people.Some people think 72._ of competition.These pe

After over 40 days, the tadpole grows into a young frog. Then the young frog jumps out of water and begins its life on land, feeding on insects. D

71、uring the winter, it hibernates. When spring comes, it wakes up and jumps back into water to spawn and new frogs will be born. Frogs can eat plant pests, so we should protect frogs and keep the balance of nature. Thats all for my introduction to the frog.
