A few years ago, I went to China with my parents. The five-day trip left me with a deep impression.

As the capital of China, Beijing is a very beautiful city with fresh air and clean streets which make the travelers feel very pleased. To my surprise, many people there were learning English. Later I was told that they did so because Beijing would hold the 29th Olympic Games and they wanted most foreigners to understand them. They strictly kept the traffic rules. When there was a red light, no one was seen crossing the street.

Of all the places I visited, I liked the Summer Palace best. To our surprise, although it was winter when we were there, we still saw green trees and many fresh flowers. The whole park was very beautiful.

We visited a very modern football field. We were told the buildings where the Olympic Games would be held were even better than that. I also enjoyed skiing in Xiangshan. Skiing is an interesting and exciting sport liked by many people.

In my eyes, China is a nice place and Chinese people are very kind. In Beijing Station, there were so many people, and most of them were going home to spend the Spring Festival—the most important Chinese festival, with their families. Passengers helped each other carry luggage（行李）, and they were very kind to foreigners. We were given a card by the hotel we stayed at, on which was the address of the hotel. With the card we never got lost in the city.

The five days passed quickly, but the trip left me a lot of sweet memories.

Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old.

Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.

Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.

One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant(怀孕的) woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted(试图) to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device(装置) in the mouth of the newborn baby.

The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.

Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.

Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure(测量) the sensitivity(敏感) of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression(沮丧).

The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.

These children also were less cooperative(合作的) and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence(智力) development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.

1.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor(因素) that influences intelligence development in babies?

A.The environment. B.Mother’s sensitivity.

C.Their peers(同龄人). D.Education before birth.

2.What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?

A.To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.

B.To prove that babies can learn before they are born.

C.To show mothers can strongly affect intelligence development in their babies.

D.To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language skills.

3.Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?

A.The children of women who did not suffer from depression.

B.The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.

C.The children of depressed but caring mothers.

D.Children with high communication abilities.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth.

B.Scientific findings about how the environment has an effect on babies’ intelligence.

C.A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months old.

D.Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.
