They may be small and not able to speak, but babies are proving their amazing cleverness. Scientists began finding infants’ skills are more than they are supposed to be.

_________

Speaking of music, babies can’t seem to resist it. Not only are their ears turned to the beats, babies can actually dance to the music.

To test babies’ dancing ability, the researchers played recordings of classical music, rhythmic beats and speech to infants, and recorded the results. They also invited professional dancers to analyze how well the babies matched their movements to the music. The babies moved their arms, hands, legs feet and heads in response to the music, much more than to the speech. The finding suggests this dancing ability is innate(与生俱来的) in humans, though the researchers aren’t sure why it becomes weaker later in their life.

Learning Quickly while Sleeping

Babies can learn even while asleep, according to a 2011 study. In experiments with 26 sleeping infants, each just 1 to 2 days old, scientists played a musical tone followed by a puff of air to their eyes 200 times over the course of a half-hour. 124 electrodes(电极) stuck on the head and face of each baby recorded brain activity during the experiments. The babies rapidly learned to foretell a puff of air upon hearing the tone, showing a four-time increase on average in the chances of tightening their eyelids in response to the sound by the end of the experiments.

As newborns spend most of their time asleep, this newfound ability might be crucial to rapidly adapting to the world around them and help to ensure their survival, researchers said.

Judging Characters Well

Judging another person helpful or harmful is crucial when choosing friends. And that ability starts early. Kiley Hamlin of Yale University showed both 6-and 10-month-olds a puppet(木偶) show, in which one character helped another climb a hill. In another scene a third character pushed the climber down. The little ones then got to choose which character they preferred. For both age groups, most babies chose the helper character. This character-judging ability could be baby’s first step in the formation of morals, Hamlin thought.

1.Which of the following subtitles can fill in the underlined blank?

2.The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to______.

3.The experiment with 26 sleeping infants prove that_______.

4.In the last experiment, most babies chose the helper character, showing that________.

After fighting cancer for 13 years, my grandfather became ill enough to be admitted to hospital. One morning, he was having trouble breathing, but continued to silently hold my hand. I kept forgetting his special request that grandpa wanted me to fetch a New Year card that my late grandmother had given him on their last anniversary together. He used the card as a bookmark in his Bible.

I just knew that I had to fetch his much-loved and much-requested gift. Leaving my grandpa at his bedside, I rushed home. Jumping back into my car with the card in my hand, was depressed when the car wouldn't start. I quickly ran to the nearest bus stop. As I waited there, out of breath, I looked in my purse only to find a $20 note and 50 cents in change.

A short while later, a bus appeared. I quickly got on and offered the driver the $20 note To my amazement, he told me that he had no change and that I had to get off and wait for the next bus. I was horrified.

A few minutes later, another bus came.<'Hey, where do you want to go?" asked another driver . I told him the hospital and about my lack of change. Although he was going to completely different destination, he shouted, "Hop aboard- - -let's see what we can do."

In exchange for my $20 note, he offered me two fives and a ten. Next, he picked up his phone and made a call. Just as we passed the corner, I could see the previous bus that I had tried to board waiting for me, at the next stop. My kind driver told me, to hop out and catch the, bus in front.

After less than 20 minutes, I was back at the hospital. By then, grandpa was pale and blue. When I handed him the card, he laughed and cried. As he looked at it, I knew I had done the right thing in getting it for him. It was like telling grandma that he was coming.
