Passage 2
Several research teams have found thatnewborns prefer their mothers' voices over those of other people. Now a team ofscientists has gone an intriguing step further: they have found that newbornscry in their native language. "We have provided evidence that languagebegins with the very first cry melodies," says Kathleen Wermke of theUniversity of Wurzburg, Germany, who led the research.
?"The dramatic finding of this study isthat not only are newborns capable of producing different cry melodies, butthey prefer to produce those melody patterns that are typical for the?ambientlanguage they have heard during their fetal life, within the lasttrimester," said Wermke. "Contrary to orthodox interpretations, thesedata support the importance of human infants' crying for seeding languagedevelopment."
???Ithad been thought that babies' cries are constrained by-their breathing patternsand respiratory apparatus, in which case a crying baby would sound like acrying baby no matter what the culture is, since babies are anatomically identical."The prevailing opinion used to be that newborns could not activelyinfluence their production of sound," says Wermke. This study refutes thatclaim: since babies cry in different languages, they must have somecontrol?? (presumably unconscious) overwhat they sound like rather than being constrained by the acoustical propertiesof their lungs, throat, mouth, and larynx. If respiration alone dictated what a crysounded like, all babies would cry with a falling-pitch pattern, since that'swhat happens as you run out of breath and air pressure on the throat'ssound-making machinery decreases. French babies apparently didn't get thatmemo. "German and French infants produce different types of cries, eventhough they share the same physiology," the scientists point out."The French newborns produce ‘nonphysiological' rising patterns," showingthat the sound of their cries is under their control.
????Although phonemes-speech sounds such as "ki" or"sh"-don't cross the abdominal barrier and reach the fetus, so-calledprosodic characteristics of speech do. These are the variations in pitch,rhythm, and intensity that characterize each language. Just as newbornsremember and prefer actual songs that they heard in utero, it seems, so theyremember and prefer both the sound of Mom’s voice and the melodic signature ofher language.
?The idea of the study wasn't to make the sound of a screaming baby more interestingto listeners-good luck with that-but to explore how babies acquire speech. Thatacquisition, it is now clear, begins months before birth, probably in the thirdtrimester: Newborns "not only have memorized the main intonation patternsof their respective surrounding language but are also able to reproduce thesepatterns in their own [sound] production," conclude the scientists. Newborns'"cries are already tuned toward their native language," giving them ahead start on sounding French or German (or, presumably, English or American orChinese or anything else: the scientists are collecting cries from morelanguages). This is likely part of the explanation for how babies developspoken language quickly and seemingly without effort. Sure, we may come into the world wired for language (thank you, Noam Chomsky), but we also benefitfrom the environmental exposure that tells us which language.
??Until this study, scientists thought that babies became capable of vocal imitation noearlier than 12 weeks of age. That's when infants listening to an adultspeaker producing vowels can parrot the sound. But that's the beginning of truespeech. It's sort of amazing that it took this long for scientists to realizethat if they want to see what sounds babies can perceive, remember, and playback, they should look at the sound babies produce best. So let the littleangel cry: she's practicing to acquire language.
What does Kathleen Wermke's research indicate?A.Babies are unable to do vocal imitation.
B.Babies’ cries could be their early language acquisition.
C.Babies start speech acquisition months after their birth.
D.A crying baby is a crying baby no matter what the culture is.
考题
When does language acquisition begin according to the research?A.It begins with the birth of a baby.
B.It begins before the birth of a baby.
C.It begins when a baby starts imitating adults’ speech.
D.It begins with a baby's cry melodies typical of its mother tongue.

C.mother cared much about her daughter in words
D.mother wrote to her daughter in careful words

第一篇 Crystal EarOne day a friend asked my wife Jill if I wanted a hearing aid."He certainly does,"replied Jill.After hearing about a remarkable new product, Jill finally got up the nerve to ask me if I'd ever thought about getting a hearing aid. “No way,"I said. “It would make me look 20 years older.""No,no,"she replied."This is entirely different.It's Crystal Ear!"Jill was right. Crystal Ear is different一not the old-styled body worn or over-the-ear aid, but an advanced personal sound system so small that it's like contacts（隐形眼镜）for your ears.And Crystal Ear is super-sensitive and powerful,too.You will hear sounds your ears have been missing for years.Crystal Ear will make speech louder,and the sound is pure and natural.I couldn't believe how tiny it is.It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and it's almost invisible when worn. There are no wires,no behind-the-ear device. Put it in your ear and its ready-to-wear mold（形状）fits comfortably. Since it's not too loud or too tight, you may even forget that you,re wearing it!Use it at work or at play.And if your hearing problem is worse in certain situations,use Crystal Ear only when you need it.Hearing loss,which occurs typically prior to teenage years,progresses throughout one's lifetime.Although hearing loss is now the world's number one health problem,nearly 90 percent of people suffering hearing loss choose to leave the problem untreated.For many millions,treating hearing loss in a conventional way can involve numerous office visits,expensive testing and adjustments to fit your ear.Thanks to Crystal Ear,the "sound solution"is now convenient.Almost 90 percent of people with mild hearing loss, and millions more with just a little hearing drop-off（下降）,can be dramatically helped with Crystal Ear.Moreover,its superior design is energy-efficient,so batteries can last months.Crystal Ear is now available to help these people treat their hearing loss with a small hearing amplifier（放大器）. Which of the following is NOT true of Crystal Ear?A: It is highly sensitive. B: It is powerful.C:It is invisible. D: It is wireless.

I recently went to a charity party. At the end of the visit our host told us that the following Monday was his birthday. He asked21, as a gift to him, we would do something kind for someone else on that day. I thought that was a terrible birthday 22 !

It was one of the best 29 I've ever given, and it has given me the desire to ask the same 30 all my friends this year. I know it will make me feel great to know my friends are out there sharing their wisdom and time with people who can really use it.
