Suddenly I was knocked over by one of the tourists crying “run, run” at the top of his voice. My backpack got tangled up (缠绕

22、“please” and “thank you”, you remind them to eat with a knife and fork, and you never, ever let them pick their nose in public. But theres one important lesson that you might be forgetting and its nothing you can cover in a simple conversation.According to a new study in the journal Science, babies
23、receive more than genetics (基因) from their parents. They can also get certain good qualities (品质), such as persistence (坚持不懈), by watching how adults behave. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology say that babies who watched an adult struggle (努力) with and then triumph over something w
24、ere more likely to show persistence themselves when given a new task.The team at MIT studied 262 babies between the ages of 13 and 18 months. They placed them in one of three situations.

25、 baby watch while she did so. The second time, the researcher solved the problems but did not struggle with them. And for the third scene, she did not do anything.After each scene, the researcher left a small musical toy with the child. She showed the baby that it could play music but did not teach
26、them how to turn it on. The babies who had watched the researcher struggle discovered and pressed the toys button (按钮) a much greater number of times than those in the last two groups.

Asking their kids to
28、 be polite.B. Setting an example for their kids. C. Teaching their kids good table manners.D. Using proper words in front of their kids.29.

31、ably the first time since the day it was built. It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late, walking around the house many times over, checking one last time to see that all was in order.It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. As I drove further and
32、further from the house, I found the surroundings (周围的事物) grow unrecognizable. I began to have a feeling of unease mixed with excitement. I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill. I could sense the steep (陡峭的) drop to my left. I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps
33、not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in the wrong direction into a wilderness. It was only the feeling of a moment, but it caused me to slow down. And even when I was sure I was on the right road, I felt forced to stop the car a moment to think carefully.I decided to step out and stretch
34、 (伸展) my legs a little. On the one side of the road, thickets and small trees rose sharply, while on the other I could now see the distant countryside and a town nearby.I walked a little way along the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I
35、turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, white-haired man. He called to me again and signaled me to join him.
