It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to "reward" the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children's responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement "switched on" a display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result. For instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.
Papousek's light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would "smile and bubble ''when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.
According to the author, babies learn to do things which ______. ()
A.are directly related to pleasure
B.will meet their physical needs
C.will bring them a feeling of success
D.will satisfy their curiosity

37_____________ It is 241 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 66 feet high. The eyes on the face are 6 feet tall, the ears over three feet tall, and the nose would have been nearly 5 feet long before it was knocked off.
Over the past 4,500 years weather and erosion(侵蚀) have damaged the Great Sphinx. It is really amazing that so much of it is left for us to see. 38_____________ It had a long beard and a nose.

Societies differ in how they structure marriage relationships. Four patterns are found: monogamy, one husband and one wife are found; polygyny, one husband and two or more wives; polyandry, two or more husbands and one wife; and group marriage, two or more husbands and two or more wives. Although monogamy exists in all societies, Murdock discovered that other forms may be not only allowed but preferred. Of 238 societies in this sample, only about one-fifth were strictly monogamous.
Polygyny has been widely practiced throughout the world. The Old Testament reports that both King David and King Solomon had several wives. In his cross-cultural sample of 238 societies, Murdock found that 193 of them permitted husbands to take several wives. In one-third of these polygynous societies, however, less than one-fifth of the married men had more than one wife. Usually it is only the rich men in a society who can afford to support more than one family.
In contrast with polygyny, polyandry is rare among the world's societies. And in practice, polyandry has not usually allowed freedom of mate selection for women; it has often meant simply that younger brothers have sexual access to the wife of an older brother. Thus where a father is unable to afford wives for each of his sons, he may secure a wife for only his oldest son.
A.rewards
B.prizes
C.awards
D.pay

At Burlington High in suburban Boston, Principal Patrick Larkin says the $ 500 ipads is better than textbooks in the long term, though he said the school will still use traditional texts in some courses if suitable electronic programs aren’t yet available. Larkin said of textbooks, “but they’re pretty much outdated the minute they’re printed and certainly by the time they’re delivered”.
But some experts warn that the districts need to ensure they can support the wireless infrastructure (设施), repairs and other costs that accompany a switch to such a tech - heavy approach. Mark Warschauer, an education and informatics (信息学) professor said, “I think people will like it. I really don’t know anybody in high school that wouldn’t want to get an iPad,” he said. “We’re always using technology at home, then when you’re at school it’s textbooks. So it’s a good way to put all of that together.” Districts are varied in their policies on how they police students’ use.
And the nation’s textbook publishing industry, accounting for $ 5. 5 billion in yearly sales to secondary schools, is taking notice of the trend with its own shift in a competitive race toward developing curriculum specifically for ipads. Jay Dickey, executive director of the Association of American Publishers, schools division, said all of the major textbook publishers are moving toward electronic offerings, but at least in the short term, traditional bound textbooks are here to stay. “I think one of the real key questions that will be answered over the next several years is what sort of things work best in print for students and what sort of things work best digitally.”
The first paragraph is mainly about________________ .
A.a program to promote ipads marketing in new school year
B.a program to spread electronic learning in new school year
C.a plan of how to use ipads in the coming school education
D.a plan of how to oppose IT technique in the coming school teaching

B.traditional textbooks possibly need to he printed again before delivered
C.contents of traditional textbooks can’t be renewed in time as electronic ones do
D.the ipads can deliver information much more rapidly than printed textbooks
From the passage we can draw conclusion that .A.more students tend to use printed textbooks rather than electronic ones
B.textbook publishing houses will develop more electronic textbooks of their own
C.it is impossible for the ipads to be widely used in schools in the future
D.electronic textbooks will take the place of printed ones in new school year
