People have long debated the essence(本质)of human nature.Some people think humans are
born good.In San Zi Jing(Three Chara~er Classic),a Chinese children’s educational book from
the 13th century, we read:“Men at birth are naturally good.Their natures are similar, their habits
become different.’’
Yet some philosophers disagree with this.They think men are born selfish and vicious(恶的).
For example,Thomas Hobbes,the 1 7th century English philosopher argued that men are born self-
interested and with a liking for war.
Over the centuries,different philosophers have argued their cases.Now the results of a new
study,which contrasts the behavior of very young children and young chimpanzees(黑猩猩)
suggests that human beings are born sociable and helpful to others,according to a New York Times
report.
“Of course every animal must to some extent be selfish to survive.But the biologists also see
in humans a natural willingness to help.”The New York Times science reporter Nicholas Wade writes.
Wade quotes a book published in October by American psychologist Michael Tomasello.
Tomasello writes:“When infants(婴儿)18 months old see an unrelated adult whose hands are
full and who needs help opening a door or picking up a dropped clothespin,they will immediately
help.The helping behavior seems to be innate because it appears so early and before many parents
start teaching children the rules of polite behavior.’’
Tomasello finds that this behavior is not the result of an incentive(动机)of a
reward,suggesting training does not influence it.And it seems to happen across cultures,with their different timetables for teaching social rules.For these reasons,Tomamsello concluded that helping is natural,not something taught by parents or culture.
And it seems that infants cannot only help in practical ways,it can also help with information,
Tomasello writes.From the age of 1 2 months they will point at objects thin all adult pretends to
have lost.Chimpanzees,by contrast,never point at things for each other, and when they point for
people.it seems to be as a command to go fetch something rather than to share information.
49.What is the article mainly about?
A.The behavior of young children.
B.Former philosophies about human nature.
C.The difference between babies and baby chimpanzees.
D.A new study of human nature.
50.According to Michael Tomasello, human beings are born           .
A.similar to chimpanzees in nature       B.selfish and Vicious
C.sociable and helpful       D.with a liking for war
51.Of all the following,      has a negative attitude towards human nature.
A.Three Character          B.Thomas Hobbes
C.Nicholas Wade   D.Michael Tomasello
52.According to the study,it"s safe to say that          .
A.human beings are not selfish
B.children like to help others when they get a reward
C.different countries teach social rules at different times
D.children tend to be helpful if they are taught early

“Who is Gogo?”
Almost every pupil in Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and Thailand will tell you: “Gogo is from outer space and is teaching children to speak and read English.”
Gogo has visited Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand and Korea. Now he is in China’s mainland—“Gogo has Adventure with English” has been published by Addison Wesley Longman China Ltd (AWL).
The six level English course, full of exciting stories, educates and delights children at the same time. Gogo learns English from his friends, Tony and Jenny. The children will learn along with Gogo, enjoying all the fun he produces. Gogo has a warm place in every young learner’s heart wherever he goes.
A presentation (介绍) about Gogo was given by Beijing AWL Information Centre last November. All the pupils in Huijia School attended the presentation. A foreign teacher at Huijia later said, “The children were attracted by Gogo after only a 45-minute presentation. They remember a song taught by Gogo seven weeks later. Parents often ask me how they can help their children learn English and now there’s a programme I can direct them to.”
Clive Sawkins, Paul Price-Smiths and Gregg Schroeder worked closely at AWL to make sure that Gogo will become an easily recognized symbol (标志) of learning English wherever English is studied. “Gogo is our baby,” said Gregg. “It is very easy to get children going with Gogo.”
