They believe this is because evolution (生物进化) has biologically made children be wary of plants.Due to susceptibility (敏感性) to illness or injury in the early years of life, the body has designed an inner defence mechanism (内部保护机制) that limits a child s contact with plants, they think. The researchers believe this is why children turn their noses up when faced with a plate of broad beans.The findings are published in a paper by Dr Annie E Wertz and Dr Karen Wynn, both psychologists at Yale University.They wrote, Throughout human evolution. plants have been important in humans life. Yet, for all of these benefits, plants have always caused very real dangers.Plants produce toxins (毒素) as defences that can be harmful, or even deadly. Some plants also produce physical defences, such as thorns（荆棘）can damage tissues (组织) and cause effects over the whole body.They added, We predicted that babies may have behavioural strategies that reduce dangers caused by plants.To test their theory, the researchers studied how children aged eight to 18 months old reacted when presented with a variety of objects. It took much longer for children to grab plants; objects that were pretended to look like plants also caused a slow response time.For parents attempting to spoon some peas into the mouth of their child, this finding should come as welcome relief.（1）The underlined word they in Paragraph 3 refers to_? A . the parentsB . the researchersC . the babiesD . the plants（2）What does the underlined word wary in the third paragraph mean? A . CuriousB . AfraidC . TiredD . Certain（3）What did early humans probably do in order to keep away from illness or injury? A . They choose to make more man-made things.B . They didnt allowed their children to touch plants.C . They chose to have little contact with plants.D . They tried very hard to escape from the past.（4）What was plants role in early humans life? A . They were important, in spite of danger.B . They reacted badly to human evolution.C . They contributed to the most deaths and illness.D . They developed human physical defenses against dangers.（5）Whats the passage mainly about? A . Why some plants are harmful.B . How humans react to plants.C . Why children dont like to eat greens.D . When children from behavioural strategies.4. （10分）阅读理解One day, my father and I were in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏表演).

Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at bed and breakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses, they said, because we found that most families were away on holiday.I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought VACANCIES meant holidays, because the Spanish word for holidays is vacaciones. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said VACANCLES, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said NO VACANCLES, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word DIVERSION means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word DIVERSION on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said Thank you in French. I meant that I would like some more, However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that Thank you in French means Mo, thank you.（1）My Spanish friends wanted advice about _.
