24、10 people could or would perform CPR if someone needed it, with most people choosing instead to wait for emergency services to help.

C When babies are just 3 to 4 months old, they can pick out images differences that adults never noticed. But after the age of four months, the infants lose their duper

34、-sight abilities, reports Susana Martinez-Conde for Science America. The reasons why adults-or even babies older than about 8 months - dont have it is that over time our brains learn what differences are important to notice. For example, when adults and look out at the images of a snail, they typica

35、lly say that glossy(光滑的 )snail A and glossy snail B are the most similar. The matte（表面无光泽的） snail C seems to be different. But a baby can tell that snail B and snail C are actually more similar. Though it is hard for adults to seem snail A stands out from the others- The surface of this snails refle

36、cts very different lighting conditions babies are more sensitive to that image difference. Researchers based in Tokyo, Japan explored this ability of very young children by testing 42 infants ranging in age from 3 months to eight months. Since these babies couldnt yet talk the researchers tracked th

37、eir perception of images based on how long the babies stared at each image. Previous research ahs shown that when the a baby see something they consider new , they stare longer , objects they are familiar with, only a passing glance. The time differences in gaze showed that the three-and four-months

38、-old babies noticed the lightning difference and were less impressed with differences in the surface-weather the images were glossy or matte. But by the time the infants are 7 to 8 months old , their vision is closer to that of adults and they can no longer see the difference. Scientists call this t

39、ype of change of perceptual narrowing, meaning that attention for classes and that people cant miss out on certain differences. Its a normal part of the development of the brain and the vision. The loss of sensitivity isnt anything to mourn, though. The babies are keying in a difference that amounts

40、 to light changes, not a change and object itself. Adults instead recognize that this is the same snail , even if the environment around it has shifted in someway. Ignoring that relatively meaningless differences is a way that human tune our perception to our environment, allowing us to navigate it

41、efficiently and successfully,“ Martinez-Conde writes for Science America. “even if its left a large part of reality forever outside our reach.“ She adds. 63.Adults dont have super-sight abilities like babies because . A.adults do not care about normal things B.they have had eyesight unimportant diff

42、erences C.they have had eyesight after they grow up D.babies are good at identifying unfamiliar things 64.Babies can tell the snails apart according to . A.the colors of the snails surface B.the light conditions in the laboratory C.the degree of familiarity with the images D.the amount of light refl

43、ected by snails surface 65.According to the last paragraph, what can be inferred from Marinez-Condes words? A. It is necessary for humans to evolve at a fast speed. B. It is a pity that humans cannot see small light changes. C. People can find reality with the changing of environment. D. The loss of

44、 sensitivity results from environmental adaptions. 66.What is the purpose of the passage? A. To show the steps of a new study. B. To present the result of a new study C. To explain the purpose of a new study. D. To stress the importance of a new study. 4253096 D When I told my father that I was movi

45、ng to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor if the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（ SMU） in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a s

46、erious back disease. She couldn;t afford the operation because her family was poor. Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas.
