However, in some cases that is not possible due to parents busy work schedules or when kids are born deaf. Now, a blue-eyed robot, a human im

10、age, and some high-tech neuroscience may be able to assist parents with this important developmental task. The Robot AVatar Thermal-Enhanced system, or RAVE, is the brainchild of a team of researchers led by Laura-Ann Petitto, an educational neuroscientist. The learning process begins when the robot

11、s camera, which is focused on the babys face, notices tiny changes in his/her body temperature. This, combined with the babys facial expression, causes the robot to turn its head and guide the babys attention to a computer screen, on which a human image starts to communicate with the baby. For examp

12、le, if the baby points towards the screen, the image might respond, Are you pointing to me? and follow that up with a nursery rhyme or fairy tale, all in American Sign Language (ASL). The conversation continues until the kid loses interest. The researchers found that babies as young as 6 to 8 months

13、 old began to move their hands in a rhythm similar to ASL after communicating with RAVE for just a few minutes. Petitto says natural language, whether communicated through speech or signs, activates (激活) the same parts of the brain and believes the rhythmic motion proves the babies are learning the

What sets this technique apart from other methods, such as showing educational videos or television shows, is its interactive(互动的) nature and real-time response to the babys actions. The researchers say that while it is too early to determine the systems long-ter

17、ows.B.Changes in their body temperature.C.Improvement in their natural language.D.Hand movements in a rhythm like ASL.4.What do the researchers think of the RAVE system?A.Promising.B.Impractical.C.Satisfactory.D.Disappointing.C AUSTRALIAN adults want to see life skills introduced into school curricu

18、lums (课程), including money management, job preparation and domestic tasks.

21、 to think forward in terms of the skills people will need for jobs and their ways of living. One respondent (调查对象) said schools should introduce a contemporary life skills subject : A compulsory 1 -hour class a week on skills is needed that parents seem continually unable to teach their kids.
