As anyone who's tried to befriend a baby knows,the very young are a tough crowd. In response to your solicitous babble( 蝶 蝶 不 休 ) , a baby might lock eyes with you. Just as likely,though,she'll stare
insistently into an empty distance,spit up,or simply protest by crying loudly.
New research suggests that babies are highly selective-discriminating even-in whom they will pay attention
lo. And even before their first birthdays,this research shows,babies distinguish between
"people like me"and all others.
For those of us who like to think that prejudice comes with age,this may be disappointing news.But
a new study,published Monday in the journal PNAS,offers a fresh perspective on babies' remarkable
ability to distinguish between"in-group"members("people like me")and out-group members("others")
at such a young age.
Babies are all about learning new stuff,the new research concludes. And they won't waste a
minute paying attention to someone they think unlikely to deliver the goods.
The new research shows that,given the choice of listening to someone speaking in their native
language and someone speaking another tongue, 11-month-old babies will consistently ignore the foreign speaker
and pay attention to the person speaking the language that's familiar to them. At the moment that those babies made
such decisions,researchers detected a distinctive pattern in their brain
activity-a pattern consistently seen in babies expecting to learn something new.
Yes,the babies were making"us"versus"them"Judgments which,research has found,become ever more
generalized and powerful as we age. But they appeared to be making those selective judgments,
the research found,in a bid to maximize the information they lake in,not to exclude the “other”。
24. If you keep talking to a baby,she may_
A.be your friend B.ignore you C.lock you in the room D.respond you with words
25. According to the passage,babies can distinguish_
A.between bad people and good people

C.between people who like them and people who dislike them
D.between people who are alike and people who are not alike
26. A baby from China is more likely to be interested in a person who speaks_____
A. Chinese B. English C. French D. Japanese
27. The passage mainly tells us that____A.babies are born clever
B.babies may lock eyes with you
C.babies are eager to learn new things
D.babies can make selective judgments about people

One August day this past summer, Richard Phibbs was taking photos of Hollywood's hottest
couple, Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. The next day,he was sprawling(爬)on the floor of
a 6-by-6-foot animal-examination room at the Humane Society of New York(HSNY),photographing
dozens of homeless animals for free.
For the past four years, Phibbs,famous for photographing celebrities,has photographed more
than 360 rescued dogs,cats and other animals at the Humane Society in hopes of helping them find loving homes
forever. Now 63 of those portraits are featured in a new book Rescue Me,detailing animal's miserable past and their
new lives in New York City.
"I was longing lo take a picture that does something more than sell clothes or sell a career, "
Phibbs tells The Post. "In fashion,we're trying to make up fantasy and dreams. When I'm at the Humane Society, I
use photography to speak the truth. When people look into the eyes of that animal,the spirit of that being is there.
"And his photos work. The animals whose portraits are taken by Phibbs see a much higher adoption rate than others
at HSNY,thanks not only to the photographs themselves but also to their high share-rate on social media.
"Without doubt, "says Sandra Dereo, HSNY's executive director. "When we post one of his
photos on Instagram or Adopt-a-Pet,it's like a flood. All of these people suddenly notice the animal. "
The photo shoots last anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes,and Phibbs will see dozens of animals in a single day. Each of
his subjects is given time to adjust to his or her surroundings,so that they open up and let their personalities shine.
Whether it's a human or animal, I'm trying to get the subject to feel safe and to feel confident and comfortable
with me, "the photographer says. "We're looking for that spirit,what makes them different. "While Phibbs may not
spend hours with each animal,many of them still have a strong impact(影响)on him. "It's not uncommon for me lo
walk home,and weep the whole way. "

Saving the giant panda from extinction isn't just good for the bears-it's good for the bottom line loo,a new
analysis by an international team of scientist shows.
The results,published in the journal Current Biology,highlight the economic benefits that they
say go hand in hand with environmental conservation. In order to protect giant pandas,the government
must protect their forests,which provide a host of often-under appreciated services to the communities
that live in and around them. For example,forests allow for the growing of crops and the grazing( 放 牧 ) of
animals,store clean fresh water and supply firewood,lumber(木材)and many useful plants.They manage storm
runoff and help prevent erosion(侵蚀)。
The pandas themselves also hold enormous cultural value that has risen rapidly in recent decades
among Chinese residents,the study also points out. "From 1980 to 2010,the cultural values of pandas
and their reserves almost doubled,largely driven by tourism use,rising 500-fold from 1980 to 2010, "they said.
Taking all of these factors into account,the scientists calculated a total economic value of Approximately $2. 6
billion in 2010 in China. Keep in mind,the costs of preserving panda habitat at current levels come to about$255 million. The study authors said that including the global cultural Value of the
animals would increase the total economic value lo $6. 9 billion per year-or about 27 times the cost of habitat
preservation.
The researchers also noted that the investment in panda habitat has improved the living conditions of
local residents. They pointed to data from the Chinese Statistical Yearbook showing that the annual income in
Sichuan, Shanxi and Gansu provinces,which sit next to panda reserves,rose by an average of 56%from 2000 to
2010. Farmers in counties within these provinces that were next to the panda reserves saw their annual incomes rise
by 64%,on average.
The findings provide a promising example of how conservation efforts can pay off,and they could be
applied to many other threatened and endangered species,the study authors said.
32. What does "bottom line"refer lo in the first paragraph?
A. Moral standard. B. Economic profits.
C. Overall development. D. Environmental conservation.
33. Which is one of the results of preserving pandas?
A. Less farmland. B. More foreign trade. C. More forest fires. D. Better farming conditions,
34. In China,about how many times do economic values outweigh preserving cost?
A. 27. B. 10. C. 4. D. 3.
35. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Protecting pandas takes great efforts.
B. Pandas are a major tourism attraction in China.
C. Conservation of pandas is economically rewarding.
D. Pandas make great contributions to the environment.
