  It’s not just adults who have a thing or two to discuss with other people, babies too have their own social lives and enjoy group interaction, according to a world-first study.

  The breakthrough study conducted by psychologist Professor Ben Bradley, at Charles Sturt University, could completely transform the way child-care centres are set up. In their study, the researchers examined groups of nine-month-old babies in new South Wales and Britain.

  And they came across astounding (令人吃驚的) results – it was found that infants had “social brains” and focused not just on their mothers but on social life in groups as well.

  “They communicate with more than one baby at once, and show jealousy and generousness,” said Professor Bradley.

  He added, “They develop their own meanings through group interaction, they notice if a group member is behaving differently and they take on roles, such as leaders and followers.”

  “A baby who has a depressed mother tends to be withdrawn (內(nèi)向的), but put that same baby in a group of its peers (同齡人)and they behave and interact like any other baby.”

  It was the first all-baby group study ever to be conducted. “Most studies of babies concentrate on the infant-mother relationship, assuming that is the single foundation for mental health, but babies are constantly involved with groups of people other than their mothers: fathers, siblings, grandparents and those taking care. Therefore, the ‘mother-baby approach’ needs to be combined with a ‘group approach’,” said Bradley.

  Phoebe Christison, a child-care worker at Camperdown Sunshine Bubs in Sydney’s inner west, said she often noticed what appeared to be emotional attachments developed between toddlers.

  She said, “Joel (10 months) and Isabella (11 months) always like to hold hands when they sit in their high chairs and eat. And babies definitely show jealousy. They push and touch each other, and copy what the other is doing.”

46. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE?

   A. It’s the first study to look at all-baby groups.

   B. It divides babies according to their personalities.

   C. Its aim is to change the way of child care.

   D. Its results are unbelievable.

47. A baby who has a depressed mother _________.

   A. tends to be a follower                       B. also enjoys group interaction

   C. has poor social ability                       D. pays more attention to its mother

48. What can be inferred from the result of this study?

   A. Babies are affected by groups more than by their mothers.

   B. There’s no need of child-care centers at all.

   C. Adults should include babies when having social activities.

   D. The normal infant-mother bond alone isn’t enough for the good mental health for babies.

49. The underlined word “toddlers” in Para. 8 can be replaced by “_________”.

   A. adults    B. infants     C. peers     D. groups

50. The example given in the last paragraph proves that a baby ________.

   A. is born to be friendly to other babies

   B. has interest in peers as well as in its mother

   C. may have emotional attachments to another baby

   D. shows jealousy and generousness as an adult

Jean – Gilles was a millionaire. But Tuesday night, he was sleeping in his car.

Jean – Gilles was the owner of the Peace of Mind Hotel in Jacmel, Haiti, a three – story, 30 – room building in a quiet tropical valley on Haiti’s southern coast, 25 miles from the noises of the capital, Port – au – Prince. Jean – Gilles and his wife, Marie, lived in an apartment on the property, close enough to watch carefully over the guest rooms, conference rooms and restaurant, close enough that they know the first name of every guest.

After the 7.0 – earthquake hit at 4:57 pm on Jan. 12,2010, they slept in their aging Isuzu, parked in the hotel driveway.

Jean – Gilles figured a second was the difference between life and death when the earthquake struck. He was working in a ground – floor conference room and first heard, then felt the quake. He asked his electrician, Roberne St. Louis, who was working nearby, what was happening.

“Get out. Now . Get out. Now,” St. Louis said.

Jean – Gilles cleared the falling structure by a mere second, he estimated. His wife, who was working in the couple’s apartment on the second floor, wasn’t able to get clear. People nearby heard her screams after the shaking stopped and removed the building blocks around her by hand. She was shaken and scratched, but walked away from the ruins.

“I am alive. God is good,” she repeated over and over on Saturday.

The Peace of Mind Hotel was a dream which had come true for Jean – Gilles, 57, and Marie, 59. Born in Port – au – Prince, they moved to the United States shortly after meeting 34 years ago. Together, they owned a beauty supply store in jersey City, New Jersey, and invested in real estate. In 2003, they cashed out their US investments, returned to Haiti and began building the Peace of Mind Hotel, looking to make a future for themselves and the people of their homeland.

       A．He lived far from the Peace of Mind Hotel.

       B．He helped St. Louis to manage a hotel.

       C．He was born in Haiti in 1976.

       D．He once owned a store in the US.

       A．offered guests different services

       B．was located in the capital city of Haiti

       C．was a building with 30 guest rooms

       D．was owned by Marie and St. Louis

66．When the earthquake hit, Marie was         .

       A．sleeping in the car   B．working in the conference room

       C．working on the second floor   D．cooking in the restaurant

67．It can be inferred from the passage that         .

       A．Haiti is the 51 st state of the US

       B．the earthquake happened quickly and unexpectedly

       C．nobody in the hotel died in the earthquake

       D．Marie was not sad about losing her property in the earthquake
