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 4­month­olds gazed mostly into her eyes.The 6­month­olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth.The 8­and 10­month­olds stud ied 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 12­month­olds 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 conti nued lip­reading shows the 1­year­olds 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.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 3 A taste of English humourⅠ.阅读理解[2017·河北衡水中学一模]As anyone who freelances(做自由职业) knows，there are lots of advantages of working at home alone.But there are drawbacks too，like the potential loneliness.No wonder co­working spaces are becoming so popul ar：they permit self­employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment，while making them get some work done too.But renting a co­working space does cost money.Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people's under used homes into temporary co­working spaces，available to freelancers for free.Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together.It was a great success，and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe，North and South America，Australia，India and Japan.Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co­working space，or go find a Hoffice near them.On a Hoffice day，everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour.After 45 minutes，everyone gets up to take a break，stretch，do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes.Afterwards，people can gather around again，and re­state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day，as a way to motivate each other.Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour，potluck­style (家常饭式) or by bringing your own lunch.This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment.As some freelancers describe，“By working at Hoff ice，we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment，where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs.We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm，happy，inspired and creative during the working day.”So Hoffice is not just about sharing space；it's also about a free exchange of ideas.And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.1．Hoffice was started to________.A．change people's attitude to workB．encourage people to be more socialC．improve people's working conditionsD．provide a co­working space for free2．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．How people respond to Hoffice.B．How a Hoffice day works.C．What people share at Hoffice.D．What Hoffice means to people.3．Some freelancers' descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they ________.A．benefit a lot from the working styleB．work longer than beforeC．expect more people to join themD．can't be separated from each other4．What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?A．It is becoming increasingly popular.B．It has been around for quite a few years.C．It has created many new job opportunities.D．It is suitable for people from all walks of life.答案：[解题导语]本文为说明文。
