This story is probably apocryphal, but it illustrates well the attitudes of the time. (47) Many people accept Darwin&39;s view of how we came into being that our bodies evolved through the process of natural selection acting on our genes.
However, Darwin believed evolution was responsible for far more than just our physical characteristics. He saw it as the major influence in shaping our psychology. In- deed, he predicted that "in the distant future, psychology will be based on a new foundation". (48)
To proponents of concepts like free will and personal responsibility, such an idea seems absurd. (49) Their research has revealed increasing evidence that the human mind is made up of innate mechanisms, which control everything from the way we perceive time and space, to how we learn survival techniques and choose mates.
(50) Steven Pinker, Professor of Cognitive Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, likens language ability to computer software, "children learn a new word every 90 minutes of their waking life for years, then they have to figure out how to string them together using a kind of mental computer program. The essence of human language is the ability to convey new ideas by putting words together in different combinations. Since we all have this language &39;software&39; in our minds, we can figure out what others are saying by the meanings of the words and the order in which they are arranged."

Today, in our series of lectures on human language, we are going to be looking at the way in which children acquire language. The study of how people learn to speak has proved to be one of the most fascinating, important and complex branches of language study. So let's look at these three features in turn. Firstly--why is it fascinating? This stems from the natural interest people take in the developing abilities of young children. People are fascinated by the way in which children learn, particularly their own children!
Secondly, it is important to study how we acquire our first language, because the study of child language can lead us to a greater understanding of language as a whole. The third point is that it's a complex study because of the enormous difficulties that are encountered by researchers as soon as they attempt to explain language development, especially in the very young child.
In today's lecture we will cover a number of topics. We will start by talking about research methods. There are a number of ways that researchers have investigated children's language and these include the use of diaries, recordings and tests, and we'll be looking at how researchers make use of these various methods. We will then go on to examine the language learning process, starting with the 'development of speech in young infants during the first year of life. This is the time associated with the emergence of the skills of speech perception, in other words, an emergence of the child's awareness of his or her own ability to speak. We will continue with our examination of the language learning process, this time by looking at language learning in the older child, that is in children under five. As they mature, it is possible to begin analysis in conventional linguistic terms, and so in our analysis we will look at phonological, grammatical and semantic development in pre- school children.
In the second part of the talk I would like to review some educational approaches to the question of how linguistic skills can be developed. In other words, how can we assist the young child to learn language skills at school? Initially we will look at issues that arise in relation to spoken language; we will then look at reading and review a number of approaches that have been proposed in relation to the teaching of reading. Finally we will conclude today's talk with an account of current thinking about the most neglected area of all, the child's developing awareness of written language.
Why is the study important to human?
A.Because people have an interest in children's learning.
B.Because it leads to greater understanding of language.
C.Because it encourages the researchers to work hard.
D.Because it is good to children's health.

听力原文:W: Excuse me, sir. Is this the human resources department?
M: Yes, that's right. Is there anything I can do for you?
W: Yeah, I'm a TV reporter, and I'm doing a serial interview on the job market in China. Could you do me a favor, please?
M: My pleasure. What would you like to know first?
W: I know you have a very large staff of over one thousand. How do you appoint them to the right posts, and transfer them, if necessary, at the right time?
M: That's a good question. Ah, let me see. We give tests and on-the-job trials in different ways, so we know whichever job best suits a certain person.
W: My second question is that today there are many people, especially the competent ones, who jump from job to job. How do you settle that?
M: We have tight regulations and long service awards for motivating employees. But, anyway, they make their own choices. If they choose to stay, they need to abide by our policies.
W: I'm sorry, I didn't quite follow you. Do you mean that they are free to come and go?
M: Yes, you are quite right.
W: Another question is that since you've been a personnel manager for several years, what do you think is the bottleneck in the job market in China today? Why is it so hard for graduates to find a suitable job?
M: Well, let me see. Maybe it's the lack of experience. They remain frustrated in a new workplace even after half a year.
W: Now I've got it. But may I ask you one more question, please?
M: Of course you can.
W: Suppose I were one of your job applicants, what would you advise me to do?
M: Learn what you are learning well and try to be proficient in at least one thing. That's my tip for all job hunters.
W: Thank you very much.
