Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant (怀孕) woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers tried to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device (装置) in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers tried to measure the sensitivity (敏感度) of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their childrens activities and did not interfere (干涉) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression (抑郁).The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.25 . According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?ATheir peers (同龄人).BThe environment.CMothers sensitivity.DEducation before birth.26 . What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?ATo prove that babies can learn before they are born.BTo prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.CTo show that early education has a deep effect on the babies language skills.DTo show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.27 . Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?AChildren with high communication abilities.BThe children of depressed but caring mothers.CThe children of women who did not suffer from depression.DThe children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.28 . What is the main idea of the passage?AScientific findings about how babies develop before birth.BScientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.CScientific findings about how the stories have effects on babies intelligence.DA study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months old.Sam：Whats this？Its an American eraser .Its made制造in our hometown家乡But it isnt mine .Hi!

But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is placed.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year. Many of them are attracted by the mystery of her smile. It is very interesting that when youre not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops, said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was sold to Frances King - Francis I in 1519.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by someone. He hid it under his coat and took it out of the museum. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.During the Second World War, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.34 .
