A four-year study made by the Infant(婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. While a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar(不熟悉的) infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.
The above findings might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the good way to care for babies under three. Dr Benjamin Spock, well-known doctor and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says the family day care is sounder in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter (照看婴孩者).

语篇理解
Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will probably say that they go to learn their own language and other language, arithmetic, geography, history, science and all the other subjects. That’s quite true, but why do they learn these things? And are these things all that they learn at school?
We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they become big and have to work for society. They learn their own language so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know, and understand what others tell them. They learn foreign languages in order to be able to benefit from what people in other countries have written and said, and in order to make people from other countries understand what they themselves mean. They learn arithmetic in order to be able to measure and count things in their daily life, geography in order to know something about the world around them, and history to know something about the human beings they meet every day. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life, but is that the only reason why they go to school?
No. There is more in education than just learning facts. We go to school above all to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school, we can continue to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful, because whenever he has to do something new which he has never had to do before, he will rapidly teach himself how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something new, or does it badly. The purpose of schools, therefore, is not just to teach languages, arithmetic, geography, etc, but to teach pupils the way to learn.

[ ]
A. says children go to school to learn their own language and other subjects

2. In the second paragraph ________.
[ ]
A. the purposes of some subjects are pointed out

[ ]
A. to learn facts
B. to learn how to learn
C. to learn to do something new
D. to continue to learn
4. The purpose of a school is ________.
[ ]
