Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them Within the first month of their lives, babies' responses to the sound of the human voice will be different from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle At first, the sounds that an infant notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling inflections Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies' emotional states and behavior Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry, attempting to initiate or terminate new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech
Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified syntax, short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words.
More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that are necessary if they are to acquire aural language
(6)B Mothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways.

A speaking with shorter sentences B giving all words equal emphasis C using meaningless sounds A speaking more loudly than normal Question 55: The word "diverse" is closest in meaning to .
A different B surrounding C stimulating D divided Question 56: The word "They" refers to .
A words B mothers C investigators D babies Question 57: Why does the author mention "a bell and a rattle"?
A To contrast the reactions of babies to human and nonhuman sounds B To give examples of typical toys that babies not like
C To explain how babies distinguish between different nonhuman sounds D To give examples of sounds that will cause a baby to cry
Question 58: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The differences between a baby's and an adult's ability to comprehend language
B How babies perceive and respond to the human voice in their earliest stages of language development
C The response of babies to sounds other than the human voice
D How babies differentiate between the sound of the human voice and other sounds Question 59: The word "emphasize" is closest in meaning to .
A stress B leave out C explain D repeat Question 60: What point does the author make to illustrate that babies are born with the ability to acquire language?
A Babies exaggerate their own sounds and expressions. B Babies begin to understand words in songs.
C Babies notice even minor differences between speech sounds. D Babies are more sensitive to sounds than are adults.
