Babies understand what their mothers say, even when they speak a language their children have never heard before, scientists claim.
The researchers found that one-year-olds reacted in exactly same way to their mothers’ voices regardless of whether they were speaking English or Greek, showing what mothers have long known – that babies pick up on tone of voice rather than the words themselves.
The researchers, from Cardiff University’s School of Psychology, observed babies as they watched their mothers perform actions with toys using the English words “whoops” and “there”. The scientists studied reactions from one-year-old babies to their mums’ voices even when they were speaking both English and Greek, and keeping the same tone of voice. The academics found that babies reproduced the same reactions regardless of whether they knew the language.
Study leader Dr Merideth Gattis of Cardiff University’s School of Psychology says, “What this work showed was that children could have access to understanding simply through tone of voice. We did ‘whoops’ and ‘there’ in two languages and got exactly the same results.” The research, published in the journal Cognitive Development, was conducted on 84 babies aged between 14 and 18 months, over the course of a year, with none of the babies having any previous exposure to Greek.
Dr Gattis says that children respond to tone clues in their parents’ voices from an early age.
She says, “Tone of voice is a really useful signal of what someone is thinking. We never have direct access to other people’s minds, except the signals in language that they give out.” She says the study shows that it is less important what parents say than how they say it.
Dr Gattis adds, “A child may ask if you like his / her drawing, for example. You might say yes, but if you don’t sound enthusiastic, the meaning may not get across.” Before children begin to speak, parents should use exaggerated tone when speaking to them.

I had an interested experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of French, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved me. I stopped and he asks me for a lift.. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him with French and he answered in the same language. Apart from a little words, I don’t know any French at all. None of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached to the town, when the young man suddenly said , very slow, “ Do you speak English?” As I soon learned, he was English him!
1. B：作者不是從其他運動，而是從沖浪運動中獲得（get）了無止境的挑戰的體會。再則，前文The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that water，becoming one with the ocean也有暗示。take from減少，降低；get from從……得到；make from由……制造； keep from阻止，隱瞞，抑制。
2. C你永遠也不會是最好的沖浪手，因為大洋呈現、提供（offer）的是任何人都控制不了的、數不盡的、各種各樣的海浪。catch抓住，捕獲；include包括，包含；offer提供；collect收集，聚集。
3. A有些沖浪手自由自在、嫻熟流暢，有些沖浪手則活躍有力、生機勃勃。注意這兩個句子的并列關系，應該特別注意free 和 flowing之間詞義的順承和協調"自由而流暢"，后句的aggressive and__3__也應該是這樣一種意義聯系，故選擇A，sharp可以表示"精明敏捷的，迅速活潑，有力有為"意思，其它三項在意義上與aggressive的順承和協調相距甚遠。
4. D所有的這些都在吸引著我去沖浪，并使之不同于（different）其他運動。注意此段第一句The one thing I can get from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge.也有所暗示。（be）different from和……不同。（be）far from遠離，遠非；known和right通常不與from搭配。

9. C所以為什么女孩子不能夠肩并肩地與男孩子一起踢足球，外出一起沖浪呢？介詞on表示"在……供職"、"（是）……的成員"，on the football team的意思是"是/成為足球隊隊員"。
