Have you noticed what these words for "mother"have in common?Well,they all have a sound close to"m."Similarly,the words for "father"almost all have the sound"b"or"p."There are over 7,000 languages around the world.The words for other things are usually very differcnt from one language to another.But why arc the words for "mother"and "father"so similar? The answer lies in how babies start to talk.The easiest sound a baby can make is "ah."A child can make this sound without the use of his tonguc()or lips.Then,if he is going to change things a little bit,the easiest thing to do is to break up that sound by closing his lips for a while.The child,by this point,has long been doing this to suck (milk.And so.the baby ends up with the sound“mah.” Babies'"speaking"in this way are just playing.Adults,however,don't hear them that way. When a baby says "mah mah,"it sounds as if he is calling someone.And the person that the child is calling upon so early in his life is most likely to be his mother.The mother takes"mah"as meaning her.When speaking to her child,she calls herself"mama."The word "mama"starts to mean"mother."This happens with human babies worldwide. After babics begin making "m"with their lips,they put their lips together and pick up the sound "bah"or "pah.When they make this sound,they are thought to be calling their second closest caretaker:their father. That's why you call your mother"mama,"and your father"baba."You have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds. 55.According to the article,in Arabic,what word do kids use to call their mother? A."Ummi.” B.“Pappy..” C.“Maman.”D.Mommy.” 56.All over the world,the words for"father"almost all have the sound A.“m” B.“b” C."b”or"p”D.m”orp” 57.What is the easiest sound a baby can make? A.“Ah." B."Mab." C."Pah." D.“Bah." 58.According to the article,when babies make the sound "mah",they are A.playing B.calling their mother C.calling their father D.saying they are hungry 59.In order to make the sound"bah,",babies A.bite their lips B.put their lips together C.close their lips for a short time D.use neither their tonguc nor their lips 60.We can learn from the article that A.some babies find it difficult to make the sound"mah" B.babies in ancient times did not call their mother"mah mah" C.babies all over the world call their father "bah bah"or"pah pah" D.babies pick up the sound"mah"before they pick up the sound"pah" 八年级英语第4页共7页 B.Choose the best answer and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或短语选项完成短 文)(6分) Every workday from 9 a.m.to 5 p.m.,Tom would work as a bank clerk.In his free time,he would write.
