At a time before the Internet,our only lifeline to friends and family was the mail we sent and received.One evening the mail soldier called my name and, instead of a letter, handed me a large box from my grandmother back in Oklahoma. One of the great hardships of the war for me was the absence of my grandmothers cooking her fried chicken and onion, corn bread,and, most of all, her desserts. But on that evening I was about to take a gastronomic(美食的) journey home: opened the box to find two dozen my grandmothers pies. A man from New York approached and asked me what I had received.

Most time the tasks easily acplished with parents reading or talking to their babies. However, in some cases that is not possible due to busy work schedules or when kids are born deaf. Now, an adorable（可爱的） blue-eyed robot, a human avatar, and some high-tech neuroscience may be able to assist parents with this important developmental task.The robot AVatar thermal-Enhance system, or RAVE, is the brainchild of a team of researchers led by Laura-Ann Petitto,an educational neuroscientist, at Washington,D. C s Gallaudet University. The learning process begins when the robots camera, which is focused on the babys face, detects tiny changes in his/her body temperature. This, bined with the babys facial expression, causes the robot to turn its head and guide the babys attention to a puter screen, on which a human avatar starts to municate with the baby. much like a parent would. For example, if the baby points towards the screen, the avatar might respond. Are you pointing to me? and follow that up with a nursery rhyme, fairy tale, or some essential social munication, all in American Sign Language (ASL) Theconversation continues until the kid loses interest.The researchers, who have been testing the system for three years,found t hat babies as young as 6 to 8 months old began to move their hands in a rhythm similar to ASL after interacting with RAVE for just a few minutes. Petitto says natural language, whether municated through speech or sign, activates the same parts of the brain and believes the rhythmic motions prove the babies are learning the essential elements of munication.What sets this technique apart from other methods, such as showing educational videos or television shows, is its interactive nature and real-time response to the baby s actions. The researchers say that while it is too early to determine the systems long-term influence on the initial response has been very encouraging. Next they plan to introduce an avatar that can both sign and speak to babies.12. What can the RAVE system help parents do? A. Improve babies health condition.B. Take good care of babies. C. Develop babies language skills.D. Keep babies pany.13. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. How babies learn ASL effectively.B. How parents educate their babies. C. How robots talk and read to babies.D. How the RAVE system works.14.What indicates babies are learning with the help of the RAVE system? A. Interest in videos and TV shows.B. Changes in their body temperature. C. Improvement in their natural language.D. Hand movements in a rhythm like ASL.15. What do the researchers think of the RAVE system?A. Promising. B.Impractical. C. satisfactory. D. Disappointing,.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(1620填涂在答题卡7175) Self-confidence is linked to almost every ponent related to a happy and satisfying life. _16_Understanding the benefits is an important first step toward living better with confidence.
