We are often told to pay attention to whatour mothers tell us. Most of us

enjoy listening to our mothers speak.Scientists have found that compared to other people’s voices, our brainsgreatly prefer the voices of our own mothers.

Scientists at Stanford University, US,recently studied this. They scanned children’s brains while they werelistening to different sounds, including their mothers’ voices. They found that97 percent of the time, children could recognize their mothers’ voices at once.

Hearing their mothers’ voices makeschildren’s brains more active. We usually just use one part of our brain todeal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers’ voices,many parts of the brain, including those in charge of reward and emotion , start to work as well.

Why do we respond so strongly to ourmothers’ voices? It starts even before we’re born. When children are still inthe womb or have just been born, they hear their mothers talking. This makes babies feelcomfortable and teaches them language and social skills, even though they arestill very young. The babies learn to recognizetheir mothers’ voices as a rewarding sound. Later, when this sound isheard again, more attention is paid to it.

Some sounds are necessary for our survival or bring us pleasure. These soundsare recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds. Most human voices are notrecognized in this way, since we hear them so often. But mothers’ voices aredifferent. They bring us a lot of comfort.

（1）What is the story mainly about?

A . Why we should listen carefully to our mothers.B . Why we prefer to hear our mothers’ voices.C . How we recognize our mothers’ voices.D . How we respond to different kinds of sounds.

（2）What will happen when children hear their mothers’ voices? A . Many parts of their brains become active.B . They will need time to recognize the voices.C . Their language skills start to improve.D . They will remember some bedtime stories.

（3）According to Paragraph 4, why do children pay more attention to their mothers’ voices?

A . Because they can recognize their voices quickly.B . Because their voices make them more comfortable.C . Because they can get a reward for doing so.D . Because they can get love from their mothers.

（4）”Rewarding sounds” refers to sounds that _____.

A . we can recognizeB . we often hearC . we hear as babiesD . make us happy
