We are often told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us. Most of us enjoy listening to our mothers speak. Scientists have found that compared to other people’s voices, our brains greatly prefer(更喜欢) the voices of our own mothers.

Scientists at Stanford University, US, recently studied this. They scanned (扫描) children’s brains while they were listening to different sounds, including their mothers’ voices. They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize their mothers’ voices at once.

Hearing their mothers’ voices makes children’s brains more active. We usually just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers’ voices, many parts of the brain, including those in charge of (负责) reward (奖赏) and emotion (情感), start to work as well.

Why do we respond so strongly to our mothers’ voices? It starts even before we’re born. When children are still in the womb (子宫) or have just been born, they hear their mothers talking. This makes babies feel comfortable and teaches them language and social skills, even though they are still very young. The babies learn to recognize(辨别) their mothers’ voices as a rewarding (奖励性的,有益的) sound. Later, when this sound is heard again, more attention is paid to it.

Some sounds are necessary for our survival (生存) or bring us pleasure. These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds. Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often. But mothers’ voices are different. They bring us a lot of comfort.

“Home is a place, where you and your family can be safe, have all you need, and share your sadness and happiness, where you can help each other as a family. It does not matter how big or small. I live in a small room with my two sons, and we share our thoughts.”

— Honey

“Since 2007, I’ve built four homes with Habitat for Humanity families. The common point that each family has is: faith, hope, family, school, love, even future struggles. Home gave these four great families a safe place out of dangerous living conditions so they could think about the future as well as the present.”

— Chad

“Home is a comfort place to live with our families and pets and enjoy with friends, a place to build memories as well as a way to build future wealth (财富). A place where we can truly just be ourselves. And whether our houses are big or small, they are our shelters.”

“Home is my root. When I was a little kid, my parents never had their own place. With 5 kids, my dad worked 7 days a week 12 hours a day; mom worked off and on, always running to get another job. We went from one place to another. I can remember one place we lived in had no bathroom, the windows were missing, and there were holes in the walls. So the first thing I did after I got a job was to buy an apartment where I could live forever.”

— Thomas

“Home means a future. Once we had a stable home, we could think beyond where we were going to live from week to week, and we could begin to look ahead to where we wanted to go. Home is the base where everything begins.”

— Kelly
