These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies re
16、ceive 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 research
17、ers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mubaba. This is the pattern A-B-B”. Another order was mubage. 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
18、-B” pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive（敏感）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 someth
19、ing 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 smartphonesno matter how educational doesnt a

They expected the first group whod 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
21、huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish（辨别）between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners.

Learning Chinese is of great benefit to babies brains.B. Face-to-face communication can improve babies brains.C. Babies are better than adults in l
25、earning a foreign language.D. Babies learn a lot from television, audio books or the Internet.D Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast（烤肉）” mean to them, and theyll probably take you back to their grandmothers dining rooms maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best
26、ever steak”. But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to the Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world, where breakfast
27、 is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just dont seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays, people are often out shopp
28、ing or at the cinema until its far too late to start thinking about heating the oven (烤箱) up.However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”The Guardian further explained that the e
29、ating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the
30、TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”32. Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast?A. They are living in the modern society. B. They have no interest in cooking.C. They dont think it worthwhile
31、. D. They have a busy lifestyle. 33. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. A recent article. B. The fine old tradition. C. A traditional kitchen. D. The Sunday morning activity.34. How does the author feel towards Sunday roasts dying out?A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. So
32、rry. D. Uncertain.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Sunday Roast Dying OutB. Sunday-Best Time for FamilyC. Its the Perfect Time for UsD.
