Putting cash in the hands of mothers can help shape the brains of their babies, according to a study in the
United States.
Family income has been linked to child development numerous times in the past in observational studies, but
this is the first time researchers have found direct experimental evidence of how poverty drives such changes.
The findings come from an ongoing study known as Baby’s First Year, which is attempting to assess how
poverty reduction can impact the cognitive and emotional growth of very young children. “We have known for
many years that growing up in poverty puts children at risk for lower school achievement, reduced earnings, and
poorer health,” explains neuroscientist Kimberly Noble from Columbia University. “However, until now, we
haven’t been able to say whether poverty itself causes differences in child development, or whether growing up in
poverty is simply associated with other factors that cause those differences.”
A thousand low-income mothers in the US were recruited (招募) for the study shortly after their babies were
born. These parents, who came from either New York City, New Orleans, Omaha or Minneapolis/St. Paul, were
then randomly offered either $333 a month in unconditional cash payments or $20 a month in unconditional cash
payments for the first four years of their baby's life—no strings attached.
The data show that giving low-income mothers financial support can directly change infant brain activity in
the first year of life. Infants (婴儿) whose mothers had received the higher cash payments, for instance, had higher
frequency brain activity than those infants whose mothers had received less.
Further research is needed to see whether these changes in brain activity last or whether they translate to
improved cognitive development, but there’s good reason to suspect they might.
4. How is the current study different from previous ones?
A. It didn’t get expectant result. B. Its result is obtained by observing.
C. There is no evidence to support it. D. Its result is based on direct experiment.
5. What’s the purpose of the current study?
A. To find other factors that impact young children.
B. To find if poverty has negative effects on child development.
C. To prove if relieving poverty contributes to child brain development.
D. To prove family income has nothing to do with child development.
6. What can you infer from paragraph 4?
A. The cash was offered without conscious decision.
B. The study gave away money to low-income mothers.
C. Thousands of low-income mothers were involved in the study.
D. Low-income mothers received cash payments for four years.
7. What is the passage probably going to talk about next?
A. Why further research is needed.
B. Studies contrary to the current findings.
C. Whether these changes in brain activity last.
D. Other similar studies that support the current findings.
C
Peacocks (孔雀) have been troublesome birds of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the San Gabriel Valley for
decades, destroying gardens, blocking traffic, leaving droppings on roofs and making noises. Much to neighbors’
annoyance, some people leave out seeds and bread for the bright-colored feathered birds.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors decided that feeding peacocks is a misdemeanor, a
slight crime, in unincorporated areas and the 44 cities that contract (签合同) with the county animal control
department. Misdemeanors are punishable by up to six months in prison, a fine of up to $1, 000 or both. Contract
cities can quit this rule, while unincorporated areas cannot, said Marcia Mayeda, director of the LA County
Department of Animal Care and Control.
Some cities, including Pasadena and Arcadia, already ban feeding peacocks. Among the peacock-rich
communities covered by the rule are Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills, as well as Chapman Woods near
Pasadena.
“If a city said, We don’t want to adopt this. We have a different way of handling peacocks, we would agree to
that, ” Mayeda said. According to him, animal control officers generally leave peacocks alone, as“they’re a difficult
