Once a baby cries, the parents will go to see what happened as soon as possible. According to a new study, a baby"s cry can make adults react(反应) very quickly, even if they are not related.
Oxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole for the study. Whack-a-mole(打鼹鼠游戏) requires people to hit one of nine buttons (按钮). The players must react as quickly as they can to whichever of the buttons lights up at random(随机). It is a game that requires speed and accuracy (准确度 ).
The study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsong played at a similar pitch to the babies" cries.
The volunteers" scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores overall. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.
"Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby," said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford"s psychiatry(精神病学) department, who led the study. "For example, it"s almost impossible to ignore(忽视,不理) crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around."
He added that a baby"s cry can increase adults" heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable, because in the course of human evolution (进化), taking care of babies has always been an important job for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and bodies develop a special reaction to a baby"s cry.
小题1:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.There were 80 volunteers who took part in the study. |
B.The youngest volunteer was 19 and the oldest was 59. |
C.Some volunteers had babies at that time in the study. |

A.a baby’s cry can get special attention from adults |
B.men and women have different reaction speed and accuracy |
C.adults without babies react less quickly to a baby’s cry |
D.women react to a baby’s cry more quickly than men |
A.one button | B.one of nine buttons |
C.nine buttons | D.ten buttons |
A.has the same pitch as birdsong |
B.is the noisiest sound there is |
C.can increase adults’ heart rate and blood pressure |
D.is good for its health |
A.taking care of the younger babies was the most important thing in the past |
B.human brains and bodies have developed to take care of babies |

One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, “Look! There’s a horseshoe, pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said, “It isn’t worth the trouble.” His father said nothing but he picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the few pennies he bought some cherries(樱桃).
The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky, and there wasn’t a house or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time, his father dropped a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while, his father dropped another cherry and once again, his son lost no time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.
And so they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up. When Thomas had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, “My dear son, if you had bent(弯腰) down early to pick up that horseshoe, it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries. Always remember the lesson that he who does not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great things.”
