【快乐考生】2015届高考英语一轮总复习 unit 4 making the news课时作业 新人教版必修5.阅读理解a(2013浙江卷)the baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby.almost from the moment it is born，the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother.during the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large，warm，and soft object in its envionment，particularly if that object also gives it milk.after a week or so，however，the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on“mother”the real mother or the mothersubstitute(母亲替代物)during the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological(心理的)thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby.the harlows，a couple who are both psychologists，discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mothersubstitutesone covered with cloth and one made of bare wire.if the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature，the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother.however，if the wire model was heated，while the cloth model was cool，for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mothersubstitutes as their favorites.thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.why is cloth preferable to bare wire？something that the harlows called contact(接触)comfort seems to be the answer，and a most powerful influence it is.baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers skins，putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can.whenever the young animal is frightened，disturbed，or annoyed，it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body.wire doesnt“rub”as well as does soft cloth.prolonged(长时间的)“contact comfort”with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.according to the harlows，the basic quality of a babys love for its mother is trust.if the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother，the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be.it screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball.if its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom，the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life.after a few minutes of contact comfort，it obviously begins to feel more secure.it then climbs down from the mothersubstitute and begins to explore the toys，but often rushes back for a deep embrace(拥抱)as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well.bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its “mother”文章大意这是一篇说明文，作者在文章中主要向读者阐述了一个关于幼猴的试验研究发现。1psychologically，what does
