Babies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds.They are lipreaders too.It happens during the stage when a baby's babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first “mama” or “dada”．The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that

particular sound they are hearing，according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University，who led the study.
Apparently it doesn't take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds.By their first birthdays，babies start changing back to look you in the eye again.It offers more evidence that quality face-time with babies is very important for speech development more than，say，turning on the latest baby DVD.
But Lewkowicz went a step further.He and his student Amy Hansen-Tift tested nearly 180 babies，groups of them at ages 4,6,8,10 and 12 months.How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers.They found that when the speaker used English，the 4-month-olds gazed mostly into her eyes.The 6-month-olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth.The 8-and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth.At 12 months，attention started changing back toward the speaker's eyes.
But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12-month-olds studied the mouth longer，just like younger babies.They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds.That fits with research into bilingualism (双语) that shows babies' brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the first year of life.
The continued lip-reading shows the 1-year-olds clearly still are fit for learning.Babies are so hard to study that this is “a fairly heroic data set”，says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum，who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.

There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise，__1__ However，others hold that if they stop exercising，their muscles will turn into fat.Here are some more examples：
I'll never lose weight—I come from a fat family.
Wrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with，we can't blame our genes for making us fat.__2__And the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.
I am fat because I burn calories(卡路里) slowly.
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢)．In fact，although fat people consume more energy than slim people，they fail to realize how much they eat！__3__
Exercise is boring.
Wrong！__4__ The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive.If you enjoy a Sunday walk，take a different route.If you do Yoga，try a T'ai Chi class.
__5__
Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt.Indeed，pain is your body telling you something's wrong，and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury.You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly，but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly.If they don't，rest and seek medical advice.
A．An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
B．Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.
C．A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.
D．Some people believe that they can't help putting on weight as they get older.
E．Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. F．No pain，no gain.
G．There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families. 语篇解读 本文主要介绍了一些对肥胖与锻炼的错误认识。
1．D [空处与下文的“However，others hold that if they stop exercising，their muscles will turn into fat.”相呼应，D项中的Some people与空后的others对应，所以选D。]
