49、 the way child-care centres are set up. In their study, the researchers examined groups of nine-month-old babies in New South Wales and Britain. And they came across astounding(令人吃惊的) results. It was found that infants had “social brains” and focused not just on their mothers but on social life in g

50、roups 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, they notice if a group member is behaving differently and they take on roles, such as leaders and follo

51、wers.”“A baby who has a depressed mother tends to be withdrawn ( 内向的 ), but put that same baby in a group of its peers (同龄人) and they behave and interact like any other baby.”It was the first all-baby group study ever to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 relation

56、f 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. The normal infant-mother bond alone isnt enough for the good mental health for babies.【小题4】The underlined word “toddlers” in Paragraph 8 can be

57、replaced by _.A. adults B. infants C. peers D. groups【小题2】B 细节题。根据文章第五段最后2行“A baby who has a depressed mother tends to be withdrawn ( 内向的 ), but put that same baby in a group of its peers (同龄人) and they behave and interact like any other baby.”可知母亲压抑的孩子可能在独处的时候也很内向，但是当他们在一群孩子中的时候，也会很喜欢群体的交流。故B正确。【小题
