In a recent study of 19-month-olds, University of Chicago doctoral student Lauren Howard found that children who heard various languages in their neighborhoods were more receptive to people who spoke languages other than their parents ‘language.

“We measured imitation. At this age, that’s how they show us their willingness to learn, ”explained Howard. The lead author of the report titled Neighborhood Linguistic Diversity Predicts Infants' Social Learning. The experiments tested how well the babies could learn new tasks from a non- English speaker.

The study, which included 82 children from the Chicago and Washington areas, was in the November issue of Cognition.

“Babies are not only affected by parents and caregivers--- previous studies proved that --but also by people they hear at the store or on the bus, "Howard said. “Incidental exposure matters.”

The study indicates that kids in diverse communities may grow up to have open minds. Good news for families living in such neighborhoods--- but can other families do something to increase children's cultural exposure？

Cultural diversity can be within reach, even in unlikely areas. Although she grew up in not very diverse"， Julie, 23， said she picked up much knowledge about other languages and cultures from the many students her family hosted through the AFS-USA international student exchange program.

“It’s the little differences that make you more understanding and less judgmental, ”Julie said “Yuilya from Kazakhstan, for example, was very disciplined because she couldn't go to college unless her grades were good. Matias from Paraguay wasn't used to being on time because his culture is more laid-back. ”

For families unable to host a student for a whole year, AFS-USA offers other volunteer opportunities, such as being “welcome families ”to ease students ’ transitions（过渡）.

But there are countless ways to expose kids to other countries, said Lucas, author of “Growing Up Global: Raising Children to Be at Home in the World.”

Just a few of her tips: Take the kids to foreign films. Try exotic restaurants. Put a world map on the wall. Help your children’s teachers make global classrooms. Encourage the kids to invite friends of other cultures for dinner. “They’ll thank you later, "Lucas said.

Shuai Yunyun, 21, from Shanghai University of Engineering Science found that her friends were all occupied with their smartphones during a high school friends meeting.Or they were busy taking pictures of their meal and writing descriptions, before uploading them to their micro blogs. For a while, silence fell.

“I thought that we had a lot of topics to share, but few people were really interested in talking,” she said. “It seemed that there?s a big gap between me and those with hand-held devices (设备)” .

Shuai, an aviation management major, is not the only one feeling segregated4 from others by mobile technology.According to a latest survey of hundreds of teenagers in Hong Kong by Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, 54.29 percent of them would use cellphones while having dinner with their families. It has affected relationships with their parents. It suggests that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting has made us feel more connected than ever, they?re also driving us away from people around us.

Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are now used to a new way of being “alone together.”

Actually, sending text messages or writing micro blogs allows us to exchange thoughts. But online connection cannot replace a “real conversation”.

Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people?s voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The exchange of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds,” she said. She also mentions that burying ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and meeting people.

However, experts remind us that it?s unfair to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert points out that, it is still the mobile owners who?re avoiding personal contact.We ourselves use these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting or calling may be an excuse to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “The way to improve conversation is by understanding each other. Simply throwing away mobilephones is not a solution,” she said.

C. An unhappy high school friends meeting

D. It is the cellphone that ends a real conversation
