听力原文: Many African mothers carry babies on their back. In this way, a working mother knows that her baby is safe on her back while her hands are free for her work. On the other hand, the baby stays in close contact with his mother and feels safe and warm. However, back-nesting is not suitable in summer. Besides, (29) back-nesting does not give babies freedom and chance to use their hands and legs. Children need to observe and explore the environment. What's more, this sense of security given by back-nesting may be suddenly broken when the child can no longer be carried. He may be put down and expected to behave like a grown-up child. (30) But he has been over protected for so long that now he feels very insecure and many behave like a baby. Once I visited a friend's home, where the mother was carrying her eleven-month-old son on her back. I found the mother had nothing special to do with her hands and the baby was restless. I asked her to put the baby down. At first, (31 ) she didn't want to because she firmly believed that if she carried the baby on her back, he could sleep longer, keep quieter and make less mess. I tried my best to persuade her and finally she gave in. Immediately the child began examining the toy drum before him. He looked much live her and happier.

An Observation and an Explanation
It is worth looking at one or two aspects of the way a mother behaves towards her baby. The usual fondling, cuddling and cleaning require little comment, but the position in which she holds the baby against her body when resting is rather revealing. Careful studies have shown the fact that 80 percent of mothers hold their infants in their left arms, holding them against the left side of their bodies. If asked to explain the significance of this preference most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. By holding the babies in their left arms, the mothers keep their dominant arm free for manipulations. But a detailed analysis shows that this is not the case. True, there is a slight difference between right-handed and left-handed females; but not enough to provide adequate explanation. It emerges that 83 percent of right-handed mothers hold the baby on the left side, but so do 78 percent of left-handed mothers. In other words, only 22 percent of the left-handed mothers have their dominant hands free for actions. Clearly there must be some other, less obvious explanation.
The only other clue comes from the fact that the heart is on the side of the mother's body. Could it be that the sound of her heart beat is the vital factor? And in What way? Thinking along these lines it was argued that perhaps during its existence inside the body of the mother the unborn baby get used to the sound of the heart beat. If this is so, then the re-discovery of this familiar sound after birth might have a claiming effect on the infant, especially as it has just been born into a strange and frighteningly new world, if this is so then the mother would, somehow, soon arrive at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart than on the right.
We can learn a lot by observing the position in which a mother holds her baby against her body.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
