When children are still in the womb(子宫)or have just been born,they hear their mothers talking. This makes babies feel comfortable and teaches them language and social skills,even though they are still very young.The babies learn to recognize their mothers'voices as a rewarding(奖励性的）ter,when this sound is heard again,more attention is paid to it.Some sounds are necessary for our survival or bring us pleasure.These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds.Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often.But mothers'voices are different.They bring us a lot of comfort.
