10、though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children.

A new study done by Duke University shows that humans have taken over much of the lions habitat. Lions live on the Afri
18、can plains, which are called savannas. In the past 5 years, the number of people living on the Savannas African plains has grown rapidly. At the same time, the number of lions has dwindled quickly.The research team at Duke University used detailed pictures taken by satellite to carefully examine the
19、 African landscape. They were able to see very small farms and towns that are taking over the once-open plains. Lions need wide-open spaces to hunt. As the number of people and towns has increased, the African plains have become less welcoming to lions. The number of lions has dropped from about 100
20、, 000 in 1960 to 32,000 today. West Africa has seen the largest drop fewer than 500 lions remain there.Researchers worry that the number of lions will decrease even more as the number of humans moving onto the savannas increases. People and lions living closely together have to compete for natural r
21、esources like water and food. Towns and farms that take over hunting grounds could force the lions out of those areas completely. Often, lions with no other sources of food will kill farm animals.

Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are uniquea speech of the hand. They offer a new way to explore how the brain generates and unde
27、rstands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of a teacher at Gallaudet University in Was
28、hington, D. C., the worlds only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something strange: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.Stokoe had been
29、taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语 ). But Stokoe believed the“hand talk”his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actu
30、ally have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people considered their signing as “substandard”. Stokoes idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoenow devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to
31、 producing video materials on ASL and the deaf cultureis having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades, educators fought against his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language mu
32、st be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuffits brain stuff.” 32.What aroused the present growing interest in sign language?A. A famous scholar i
33、n the study of the human brain. B. A leading specialist in the study of liberal arts.C. An English teacher in a university for the deaf.D. Some senior experts in American Sign Language.33.
