A recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour showed that we seem to have an innate (天生的) preference for highranking peoples—but only if those people aren39。 Researchers showed toddlers (aged 21 to 31 months) a scene where two puppets (木偶) approached one another from opposite sides of a stage and one bowed to let the other pass first. Asked which puppet they liked better, 18 of the 21 toddlers in the experiment reached for the puppet who had been allowed to pass. Because respect from others is a marker of status, this suggests that children have a preference for those with a higher status—even before age three. In a word, this new research suggests that young children appreciate people who do well while at the same time doing good to others. So, when my fouryearold thinks that he has to get his shoes on first, I39。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。t hurtful toward others.”可知，我們更傾向于敬佩那些地位高的人。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。故選D。根據(jù)第三段中的“In this case, 18 of the 21 toddlers reached for the one who was knocked the participants were so young, this might even be an innate human preference.”可知，孩子們會走向被撞倒的人，而由于孩子太小，甚至可能是人類與生俱來的偏好。故選B。根據(jù)最后一段中的“In a word, this new research suggests that young children appreciate people who do well while at the same time doing good to others.”可知，孩子欣賞那些在做好事的同時表現(xiàn)出色的人。故選C。4．犇犇閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 When hospital staff are in full scrubs (手術(shù)衣), their faces are almost pletely covered by their caps and face masks, and we can only see their eyes and eyebrows.
