In their study, the researchers examined groups of nine-month-old babies inNew South Wales and Britain.And they came across surprising results. It was found that infants had “social brains” and focused not just on their mothers but on social life in groups as well.“They communicate with more than one baby at once, and show jealousy and generousness,” said Professor Bradley.He added, “They develop their own meanings through group interaction, theynotice if a group member is behaving differently and they take on roles, such as leaders and followers.”“A baby who has a depressedmother tends to be withdrawn( 内向的), but put that same baby in a group of its peers and they behave and interact like any other baby.”It was the first all-baby group study ever to be conducted. “Most studies of babies concentrate on the infant-mother relationship, assuming（认为）that is thesingle foundation for mental health, but babies are constantly involved with groups of people other than their mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents and those taking care. Therefore, the mother-baby approach needs to be combined with a group approac h,”　said Bradley.Phoebe Christison, a child-care worker at Camperdown Sunshine Bubs in Sydney’s inner west, said she often noticed what appeared to be emotional attachments developed between infants.) always like to hold hands She said, “Joel ( 10 months ) and Isabella ( 11 monthswhen they sit in their high chairs and eat.

What can be inferred from the result of this study?A. There’s no need of child-care centers at all.B. Babies are affected by groups more than by their mothers.C. Adults should include babies when having social activities.D.

In order to qualify as anantique, the object has to be at least 100 years old. ”“I’m only 67,” I reminded Jenny.We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me.

They show living, being around. That’s something display with pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more-esteem.valuable it can become.” It was important that I believed this for my own self Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in myhouse for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didn’t buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story.They’d been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another,traveling all over the place. They’d lasted through years and years. They could havebeen tossed away, or ignored, or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “I don’t have any antiques but you,”said. Then her face brightened. “Could I take you to school for show and tell?”“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered. And then Jenny’s antique lifte her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.52.
