However, when it comes to scary animals, the answers are often more or less the same snakes and spiders are among the most dreadful ones for the majority of us.However, most of us have never been
27、 bitten by a snake or a spider. So does this mean we are born with a fear of certain things?Scientists have been actively looking into it for a long time. For example, studies have suggested that babies find live animals much more interesting than stuffed (毛绒填充的 ) ones. This interest continues even
28、if those animals are snakes and spiders.- 7 -A study published in Psychological Science in 2008 seemed to show that snakes did have a different impact on babies. When scientists presented babies with animal videos along with random sounds of happy or frightened human voices, they found that babies l
29、ooked at snakes for longer than any other animal however the voices sounded.Now, a team from Rutgers University in New Jersey, US has tried to challenge the idea that babies are born with a fear of snakes and spiders. According to the BBC, the researchers measured babies physiological (生理的) response
30、s as they watched videos of snakes and elephants paired with both fearful and happy voices.Scientists then set out to surprise the babies to see how they would react. They presented them with an unexpected bright flash of light as they watched a video. As the BBC explained, a surprise like this woul

32、ideo of a snake, even when it was shown with a fearful voice. Their heart response was also lower, which also made it seem that babies were not scared.“Children do not have an innate fear of snakes,” concluded the study. Even if previous studies had suggested that babies have different responses to
33、snakes, it isnt necessarily related to fear. “Its possible that paying more attention to something might make fear learning easier later on. It leads to fear learning,” said research co-author Vanessa LoBue. She further explained that it was a good thing that humans didnt have an inborn fear of snak
34、es because it would make a young infants desire to explore new things less strong.Instead, we have evolved to quickly learn to be afraid of something if it turns out to be dangerous.27. What is the article mainly about?- 8 -A. How peoples fear of snakes and spiders has evolved.B. Whether humans are
35、born with a fear of snakes and spiders.C. Why snakes and spiders are considered the most dreadful animals.D. How babies react differently from adults to snakes and spiders.28.

36、ideo, the less scared they were.B. The fearful voices babies heard when watching snake videos doubled their fear of snakes.C. Babies responses to the snake in the videos were greatly affected by the types of voices they heard.D. Babies took more interest in snakes than the other animals in the video
37、s regardless of which human voices they heard.29. How did babies react when the researchers from Rutgers University surprised them while theywere watching a video of a snake?A. They paid more attention to the snakes when they heard a fearful voice.B. Babies heart responses changed slightly when they
38、 heard a fearful voice.C. A fearful voice didnt make their surprised response become more intense.D. They became more scared when they experienced an unexpected bright flash of light.30. According to Vanessa LoBue, since babies dont have an inborn fear of snakes, _.A. it would make it easier for the
39、m to learn fearB. it would make them more willing to explore new thingsC. it would lead them to stay away from dangerous thingsD. it would encourage them not to be afraid of anythingD“Morning, Mom,” I call.“Morning, baby,” she says cheerfully. “Did you sleep well?”- 9 -“Better than I have been.”She
