Once a baby cries, the parents will go to see what happened as soon as possible. According to a new study, a baby's cry can make adults react(反應) very quickly, even if they are not related.
Oxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole for the study.  Whack-a-mole(打鼴鼠游戲) requires people to hit one of nine buttons (按鈕). The players must react as quickly as they can to whichever of the buttons lights up at random(隨機). It is a game that requires speed and accuracy (準確度 ).
The study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsong played at a similar pitch to the babies' cries.
The volunteers' scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores overall. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.
"Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby," said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford's psychiatry(精神病學) department, who led the study. "For example, it's almost impossible to ignore(忽視,不理) crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around." 
He added that a baby's cry can increase adults' heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable, because in the course of human evolution (進化), taking care of babies has always been an important job for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and bodies develop a special reaction to a baby's cry.
【小題1】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.There were 80 volunteers who took part in the study.
B.The youngest volunteer was 19 and the oldest was 59.
C.Some volunteers had babies at that time in the study.
D.The volunteers were affected by the sound of a baby’s cry.
【小題2】The game “whack-a-mole” shows ______.
A.a baby’s cry can get special attention from adults
B.men and women have different reaction speed and accuracy
C.adults without babies react less quickly to a baby’s cry
D.women react to a baby’s cry more quickly than men
【小題3】“Whack-a-mole” requires people to hit _____ at a time.
A.one buttonB.one of nine buttons
C.nine buttonsD.ten buttons
【小題4】According to the passage, a baby’s cry ______.
A.has the same pitch as birdsong
B.is the noisiest sound there is
C.can increase adults’ heart rate and blood pressure
D.is good for its health

Once there was a child ready to be born. So he asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will take care of you.” But the child wasn’t sure he really wanted to go. “But here I don’t do anything else but sing and smile, that’s enough for me to be happy.”
“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”
“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, ”the child continued,”if I don’t know the language that men talk? ”
God patted (輕怕)him on the head and said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear.Your angel will teach you how to speak. ”
“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”

“I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men,who will protect me? ”
“Your angel will defend(保衛(wèi))you even if it means risking her life! ”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more, ”the child continued warily.
God smiled on the young one. “Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you how to come back to me, even though I will always be with you.”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question, softly, “God, please tell me my angel’s name.”
