Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A
27、babys cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦）in a way while other cries dont, researchers found.Researchers found that a babys cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore themwhether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animal
28、s in great pain, fail to get the same response, suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a babys cry.A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds, roughly the time it takes
29、to blink (眨眼) , two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a babys cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women, even if they had no children.Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step ov
30、er it and not see it, but its not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演化的）view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular
31、cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to - 7 -recognize their own childs cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that
32、our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.28.

Why you cant get a babys cry out of your head.B. How to recognize different babies cries.C. Why a baby is easy and likely to cry.D. How to prevent a
35、 baby crying. DE-cigarettes began as a way to stop people from smoking tobacco. But a new study among teens suggests a scary effect: E-cigarettes are now appealing to non-smokers as well. In a survey of over 2 ,000 California high school juniors and seniors, researchers from the University of Southe
36、rn California discovered that over 40 percent of teen e-cigarette smokers have never smoked traditional cigarettes.The National Youth Tobacco Survey reports a nearly 9 percent increase in the number of high school students using e-cigarettes from 2013 to 2014,more than enough to stifle (掩盖 ) the 3.
37、5 percent decrease in teen cigarette use, as recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While 9 percent may - 8 -not sound like a ton, the amount of middle and high school students using e-cigarettes has actually tripled(增至三倍) .How, despite decades of anti-smoking advocacy efforts,
38、have e-cigarettes gained such massive popularity in such a short time? Scientists say that the “renormalization” of teen smoking may not be entirely self-inflicted(自己造成的) .A study found that 34 percent of adolescent e-smokers are exposed to electronic cigarettes via a member of their family or frien
39、d groups.Advertising also makes e-cigarettes look cool. E-cigarettes, which are not very expensive, are marketed as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes, and teens are buying the message. In a recent study in North Carolina, high schoolers easily made a list of the dangers of smoking tobacco
40、, but when asked to do the same with regard to e-cigarettes, the teens were unsure whether the devices could be considered safe. Some werent even aware that e-cigarettes contain nicotine. But e-cigarettes do contain nicotine. It is highly addictive, which is why some consider e-cigarettes a gateway
41、drug.If stressing the dangers of tobacco helped make cigarettes uncool, we can do the same to destroy e-cigarettes.32.

44、e all afraid of making fools of ourselves. 36 But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. 37 Although Im basically shy, Ive been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. 38
45、 Here are some of the lessons I have learned:Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or twenty. 39 And if you dont have a clear idea of what you want to say, theres no way your audience will. No matter how long or short your speech is, youve got to
46、 get your ducks in a row, -how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how youre going to close.When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first. 40 A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.The standa
