As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, runup walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkourcan be justas excitingand charmingas

Determination and freedom.Parentsare oftenamazed athow fast theirchildgrows and develops.Newresearchhas determined that the abi

38、lity to quantify may develop much sooner than mostparents realize.Kristy vanMarle, professor of the University of Missouri, has determined thatcontrarytowhat previous studieshave shown, infants（嬰兒） areabletoquantifysubstances（物質(zhì)） like sand or water as early as 10 months. As long as thedifference bet

39、ween the two substancesis large enough, infants willchoose thelarger amount, especially when it comes to food.With the assistance of her team researchers, vanMarle tested the quantifyingskillsofbabiesby presentingthem with two cups:one containinga smallamountof food,and one containinga largeramount.

40、 Consistently,thebabieschose thelarger amount.“Severalstudiesthroughoutthelast15 yearshave shown thatinfantsare verygood attelling how many objectstheysee;however,infantsdont seem tocountthings likewater or sand,” vanMarle said.“What were saying is that theycan quantify substances; its just much har

41、der. The infants can see how muchfood goes into each cup and compare that in their memories. They decide whichamount is larger, and they almost always select the larger one.”This information further refutes（駁斥） the long-held idea that babies“knownothing of the world,” vanMarle said.“Since psychologi

42、sts have begun studying infants with sensitive measures,weve discovered a lot of early abilities.I think for parents, it should beexciting to know that theres somebody in there that hassome fundamental andbasic knowledge oftheworld,and thatknowledgeis guidingtheir development, ”vanMarle said.In the

43、future, vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a childsprogress in math-related skills, although programs marketed to increase thoseabilities, such as“Baby Einstein, ” still have mixed reviews when it comesto academic study.49 The quantifying ability refers to the ability to .A. choose

44、between different substancesB. get much knowledge of the worldC. describe the quantity of somethingD. obtain math-related skills50 What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?A. The process of doing research.B. The scientific findings.C. The final choice of infants.D. The observation of infants behav
