My 23-year-old car was unsafe and I decided it was t ime to trade for a less old one. I found myself then a t a local used car lot looking at a l2-year-old car. There wa

Parents have worked hard to teach the most important life le ssons to their babies. They remind kids to eat with a knife and fork, and not to make noises in public. But there’s one important lesson tha t parents might forget, and it can’t be covered in a simple conversati on. In fact, they’d better teach kids by example.
According to a study, babies receive more than genes (基因)from their parents. They can also absorb good qualities, such as persistence(坚持), by watching how adults behave. Researchers at MIT said that babies
who watched an adult struggling with and then succeeding in something were more likely to show persistence when given a new task.
The team at MIT studied 262 babies between the ages of 13 and 18months. They were divided into three groups. In the first group, the lead researcher struggled with two different toys problems before solving them, letting the babies watch when she did so. In the second group, the researcher solved the problems but did not struggle with them. And for the third group, she did not do anything.
After that, the researcher left the children playing with a small musical toy. She showed the babies that it could play music but did not teach them how to turn it on. The babies in the first group discovered and pressed the toy's button many more times than those in the last two groups. In other words, the babies did not copy what they had watched; they learned not to give up, instead.
Now researchers are interested in exploring which ways influence babies most. They wonder if the results can work in the real world, and whether the lesson of persistence might last into adulthood. After all, persistence is one of the most important qualities of the successful people.
32. What does the underlined part one important lesson in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Behaving politely in public.
B. Setting an example to kids.
C. Using a knife and fork properly.
D. Teaching kids necessary life skills.
33. How did the team at MIT mainly carry out the study?
A. By doing a research.
B. By playing with kids.
C. By analyzing some facts.
D. By interviewing babies.
34. What can be learned from the study?
A. Kids in the first group turned on the musical toy.
B. Kids could copy the same behavior of the researcher.
C. The first group kids tried more times to turn on the toy.
D. Kids in the last two groups had the same performance.
35. Which of the following would the author agree with?
A. Parents should spend more time with babies.
B Parents should pay attention to their behavior.
C. Persistence is an important quality for parents.
D. Babies should be taught social skills from birth.
