The most common belief about infant communication is that babies can
’t communicate before the age
Nevertheless, new studies have suggested that babies are born with a capacity to communicate with adults. Some experts refer to this communicative ability as
-subjectivity“(主体间性)inter”.
It’s clear that babies and adults don’t dialogue. Rather, they communicate through “protoco
babies and their parents react to each other, babies recognize experiences and react to them. In short, babies comprehend that they
’re interacting with others.
Those who argue against inter-subjectivity in infants believe that babies don’communicate t until they’re approximately nine months of age. At 14 months of age, babies begin to use the child points out an object and, by following an adult
“protodeclaratives
”
’s gaze, can confirm that the adult shares their atten
toward the said object. These protodeclaratives serve as evidence that infants are able to infer intention in other people.
Other researchers argue that babies don
’t need complex cognitive or symbolic systems to communicate. They
can use their emotions to do it. According to these ideas, babies are able to exchange their experiences with their caretakers.
Although intersubjectivity might seem to make sense from a theoretical perspective, science demands experimental proof. In this case, it’a matter s of proving that exchanges of expressions, emotions, gestures, and vocalizations(发声)
can be considered forms of communication. In order to prove this, one study analyzed the
changes in the expressions of children between two and six months of age and their parents.
Researchers discovered that facial expressions coincided with each other. They also discovered that the intensity of emotions between parents and babies occurred at the same time. Aside from that, they also noted that babies don
’t just respond to their mother
’s actions. They also make her respond in certain ways.
“conversations
This suggests that infants have the ability to engage in ”. Other experiments also
idea in a different way. They show that when an adult is interacting with a baby and suddenly stops, the baby waits for their reaction. When the adult doesn
’t react, the infant becomes irritated and demands a response. Such results
support that protoconversations are a type of communication.
According to the results, babies perceive attention when an adult looks at them. They also experience emotional motivation when they witness adults gesturing. That is, they feel that the adult is trying to communicate with them. Babies then respond in some way to these attempts. As such, you might say that infant communication is innate.
58. The underlined word A. real communication C. recognition of experiences
“protoconversation
” in Para. 2 probably means ________.
B. early stage of talking
D. interaction with others
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了婴幼儿交际能力研究的情况。【答案】B

成年人不能通过对话交流。
“Rather, they communicate through “protoconversations然而,他们又能交流”.”

。故选B。
59. Why did researchers analyze the changes in expressions of children between 2 and 6 months?A. To find out proof for intersubjectivity B. To study intersubjectivity in theory C. To look into babies’ actions and reactions.
D. To discover that babies’ facial expressions.

Every year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes - and finds that alumni (毕业生)of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years

“after the fact.
The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.
Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated die teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought that it was one of the most important experiences they'd ever had, regardless of age and two-thirds said that they were often in situations where then experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.
It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirtythe arts as adults.
Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen

But renewing was fun. so much fun that when mainstream publishers started paying me for my opinions, I didn't do the decent thing. Before I knew it, I had stopped cooking Professionally.
Then I stopped cooking altogether.
“She's joined the leisure class.
” my friend said.
I disarmed (消解怒气)) my critics by inviting them along; nobody I knew could afford to eat out and nobody refused. We went with equal amounts of guilt and pleasure, with a feeling that we were trespassing (侵入))on the playgrounds of the rich.
We didn't belong in starchy restaurants. We knew it, and when we climbed out of my rent - a - wreck, splendid in years from the Salvation Army, everybody else knew it, too. We always got the worst table. And then, because I didn't own a credit card, I had to pay in cash. The year turned into two and three, and more. I got a credit card. I got good clothes. I was writing for increasingly prestigious (whispering, “How could you?

The voice is still there, yakking (喋喋不休)away. When I receive weekly letters from people who think it is indecent to write about $100 meals while half the world is hungry, the voice yaks right along, right, you elitist pig is hisseslot like my mother.
And just about then is when I tell the voice to shut up. Because when my mother starts idling me that all I'm doing with my life is telling rich people where to eat, I realize how much the world has changed.
”. And when it asks.
“When are you going to grow up and get a real job? it sounds a
”
“
Yes, there are still restaurants where rich people go to remind themselves that they are different from you and me. But there are fewer and fewer of them. As American food has come of age. American restaurants have changed. Going out to eat used to be like going to the opera; today, it is more like going to the movies.
And so everyone has become a critic. I couldn't be happier. The more people pay attention to what and how they eat, the more accustomed they become to their own senses and the world around them.
When I remember that conversation with M. F. K. Fisher, I wish I had not been quite so gentle. When I rerun the loop in my mind, I turn to her and say this: be a restaurant critic is a good appetite.

NASA is moving forward with plans to launch an electromagnetic telescope that could detect asteroids (on a collision course with Earth. Its launch could come by the middle of 2020s.
流星)
The Near-Earth Object Surveillance Mission, which will cost $500 million to $600 million, grows out of long-gestating plans for the Near-Earth Object Camera (NEOCam), first proposed by NASA
’s Jet Propulsion Lab
(JPL) in Pasadena, California, nearly 15 years ago. Such a scope is essential for meeting a congressional requirement that NASA detect 90% of all potentially hazardous asteroids and comets of at least 140 meters in diameter by the end of 2020. The telescope will likely end up with a different name, but the mission is the same.
A combination of an electromagnetic telescope and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, a ground-based facility being built in Chile, will eventually make it a reality. A telescope operating in the electromagnetic spectrum is essential as the past decade has shown that dark asteroids, which are nearly invisible in visible light but stand out in electromagnetic, are more abundant than once thought.
Building the electromagnetic telescope, however, could require an increase in NASA’s $150 million annual budget for planetary defense. Most of that money now goes to the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission being built by Johns Hopkins Universityin 2021, DART seeks to test whether itappropriators will follow NASA

’s lead and also fund the new electromagnetic telescope.
Over the past 15 years, with NASA support, Mainzer’s team has refined the electronics and sensors that will
power the telescope. Unlike the previous electromagnetic telescope, NEOCam sensors will be able to operate without active refrigeration when parked at L1, a stable vantage point balanced between the gravity of Earth and
the sun. Engineers, meanwhile, have dramatically lowered the occurs when the detectors are operated even in total black conditions.
“dark currents” of its detectors, spurious
Not everyone has been a fan of NEOCam’s plans. Nathan Myhrvold, a billionaire technologist and former Microsoft chief technology officer in Bellevue, Washington, has faulted the statistics used by Mainzer and others to generate asteroid diameters from observations of the WISE instrument, among other issues. The tasks that NEOCam was designed to perform also seem increasingly irrelevant. One change is that researchers now think asteroids smaller than 140 meters in diameter also pose potentially serious threats to Earth, in part because they could generate damaging tsunamis.
