A new study not only shows that babies deeply relax when they are carried, but goes on to explain the physical processes at work. An instinct（本能）in evolution causes crying babies to calm down, when they are held in their mother's arms. When babies are picked up and carried, their heart rate slows down and they "automatically and deeply" relax. But this doesn't happen when they are simply held, the study found. The scientists say the study is the first to show that the baby's response to being camed is a coordinated (协调的) set of nervous regulation of hearts. The findings could help parents who have trouble tranquilizing their babies, claim the scientists. "Their baby response reduces the mother's burden of carrying, and is important to both the mother and the baby," Dr Kumi Kuroda, from the Riken Brain Science Institute in Japan. The researchers believe the calming response is a survival traii( 特 征 ) preserved by evolution in many mammals, including lions and squirrels. The research involved measuring electrical brain activity in both human babies and mouse babies. When baby mice are carried by their mothers, their legs flexed ( 弯 曲 的 ) and they stopped giving off loud sound. In mice, the calming response was depended on the sense of touch and the ability to feel body movement. The findings may have importance for parerting, say the scientists. "Such proper understanding of babies would reduce parents' feeling of failure and be important, because crying is a major risk for child abuse," said Dr Kuroda. "Although our study was done on mothers, we believe that this is not specific to mums and can be used by any primary caregiver." 24. What response do crying babies have when they are picked up? A. They stop crying and fall asleep quickly. B. They smile at the mothers at once. C. They relax with the heart rate slowing down. D. They ask for more body contact, 25. What does the underlined word "tranquilizing" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. raising. B. calming. C. carrying. D. teaching. 26. Who will be interested in the text? A. Primary school teachers. B. Parents with teenagers. C. People who take care of babies. D. Couples who want to have children. 27. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How we can take good care of babies. B. Mothers have trouble in bringing up children. C. What to do when your baby cries. D. Why babies calm down when picked up and carried. C Amy Pankratz spent a few nights in the hospital with her daughter, Isabella, who caught a bad flu. "Lying in bed beside Isabella, I could hear the cries of children in pain," says Amy. "It completely broke my heart. " When Isabella was getting well and could Ieave her room, she wore her prized possession - a "superhero cape (短斗篷)"Amy had sewn to encourage her — and walked into the hallway. The pink cape was an instant hit with the other young patients, who were doing exercise around the nursing station. "Then, all the kids were taking turns wearing the cape, giggling, "Amy says. "These were some of the same children I had heard crying the night before, and here they were playing and having fun - kids just being kids! " From that moment on, Amy began making Comfort Capes for little ones battling with serious illnesses. "I felt God presenting an opportunity," she says. "I hoped Comfort Capes can help these kids feel brave, to lift some of the fear away," Since then, Amy has made and donated more than 5, 000 capes in the United States. Amy usually pays for materials herself, although she accepts donations. The capes she makes for kids in treatment are different from those her own children have. Before Amy starts to sew she learns what image or character the little boy or girl connects with. "I choose the pattern, color and theme specially for each child," explains Amy. When she is not sewing, Amy is raising awareness of childhood cancers and looking into ways to get Comfort Capes to more kids who need them, "If a cape can help a child, even only for a moment, forget his illness, it's worth the time spent sewing," she says. 28. What made Amy feel sad when she was staying with her daughter in the hospital? A. Her daughter's serious illness. B. The cries of children in pain. C. The tiredness from sewing the cape. D. The illness of children in her daughter's room. 29. Why did Amy begin to make Comfort Capes for sick children? A. She wished- to make them happy and fearless. B. She hoped to find friends for her daughter. C. She wanted to make them feel warm. D. She meant to raise the awareness of children's illness. 30. According to the passage, what's the author's attitude toward Amy's behaviour? A. Supportive. B. Neutral(中立的). C. Negative. D, Indifferent. 31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A. Amy: a Considerate Woman. B. How to Treat the Sick Children. C. A strong Mom Who Helps Others. D. Turning Sick Kids into Superheroes. D Scientists at Harvard University have recycled a kidney(‘肾)-in a rat. The researchers removed a kidney froru a dead rat. Later, the renewed kidney was put into a living rat. It wasn't perfect. It did, however, show signs of working like a kidney should. "It's really beautiful work," Edward Ross, a kidney researcher at the University of Florida in Gainesville, told Science News. He didn't work on the new study. Kidneys are bean-shaped and act like guards in the body. They clean the blood by reruoving waste and extra water. Every day, an adult's kidneys filter(过滤) enough blood to fill a bathtub half full. Along the way, they produce eight cups of urine(屎) from that waste and water. When a person's kidneys fail, all of that waste stays in the body. Such patients can quickly become very sick and die, unless they are regularly connected to a machine that filters their blood. At any given time, about 100,000 people in the United States are waiting for a replacement kidney. But healthy donated kidneys are difficult to get. Either a living person must donate one, or a kidney must be removed from someone who just died and earlier had agreed to the donation. In either case, people receiving new kidneys face the risk that their bodies will reject the donated ones. But there may be another option. Researchers use knowledge of living things to grow or improve tissue that can aid human health. Harald Ott's team at Harvard started with a "used" kidney. Scientists added kidney cells from rats and blood vessel cells from people to the matrix （母体）. These cells attached themselves and began to multiply. Before long, they formed new kidney tissue. The scientists placed this renewed kidney into another rat. There it produced a small amount of urine. rfhis experiment shows that the lab-grown kidney can do at least some of the workperformed by a healthy kidney. The results are a promising first step toward helping people with serious kidney problems. "This is still very early, but they've come a long way," Ross said. 32. What can we infer from Paragraph l? A. Biology is a new and helpful science. B. It's hard to put the rebuilt kidney into the rat. C. Kidneys are very important to our life. D. A used kidney may be recycled for new life. 33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The relationship between kidneys and health. B. The difficulty of curing serious kidney diseases. C. The function and importance of kidneys. D. The methods of curing kidneys diseases. 34. For what purpose does the author use the figure 100,000 in Paragraph 4? A. To stress used kidneys are hard to get. B. To show the great need for healthy kidneys. C. To explain many American people get kidney diseases. D. To call on'people to donate kidneys. 35. Which of the following is true according to the text? A. The scientists are satisfied with the result of the experiment. B. Ross is a kidney expert who is involved in the experiment. C. The function of the renewed kidney is the same as a healthy kidney. D. The renewed kidney produced a great deal of urine. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Running may be good exercise. but it can be difficult on the body.
