But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the mon belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and therefore, better off dead.

It has been demonstrated (证实) that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins, even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor (香味) was added to the vitaminenriched liquid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In an experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria (自助食堂) with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select a well-balanced diet (饮食). So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on whats best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of body wisdom which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced (影响) by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.32. In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rats drinking water to_. A. encourage rats to drink it B. find out what kind of flavor rats prefer C. test whether rats know which drink is with fragrant flavor D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless 33. The expression the habit in the first paragraph refers to drinking water which _. A. has no smell B. is tasteless C. has vitamins D. is flavored 34. As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar because _. A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet B. both prefer flavored food and drink C. both have the same eating patterns D. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors 35. According to the passage, adults (成年人) eating habits differ from those of babies because _. A. adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods C. adults eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs D. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Color is fundamental in home designsomething youll always have in every room.
