Why Don't Babies Talk Like Adults？
Over the past half-century,scientists have settled on two reasonable theories related to babytalk.Onestates that a young child's brain needs time to master language, in the sameway that it does to master other abilities such as physical movement.

Children's mathematical knowledge developsin the same way.
In 2007, researchers at Harvard University, who were studying the twotheories, found a clever way to test them. More than 20,000 internationallyadopted children enter theU. S.each year. Many of them no longer heartheir birth language after they arrive, and they must learn' English more orless the same way infants do-that is, by listening and by trial and error.International adoptees don't take classes or use a dictionary when they arelearning their new tongue and most of them don't have a well-developed firstlanguage. All of these factors make them an ideal population in which to testthese com-peting hypotheses about how language is learned.
Neuroscientists JesseSnedeker, Joy Geren and Carissa Shafto studied the language development of 27children adopted fromChinabetween the ages of two and five years. These children began learn- ing Englishat an older age than US natives and had more mature brains with which to tacklethe task. Even so, just as with American-born infants, their first Englishsentences consisted of single words

The adoptees and native children started combing wordsin sentences when their vocabulary reached the same sizes, fur-ther suggestingthat what matter is not how old you are or how mature your brain is, but thenumber of words you know.
This finding-that havingmore mature brains did not help the adoptees avoid the toddler-talkstage-suggests that babies speak in babytalk not because they have baby brains,but because they have only just started learning and need time to gain enoughvocabulary to be able to expand their conversa-tions.

Why Don"t Babies Talk Like Adults？
Over the past half-century， scientists have settled on two reasonable theories related to babytalk. One states that a young child"s brain needs time to master language， in the same way that it does to master other abilities such as physical movement. The second theory states that a child"s vocabulary level is the key factor. According to this theory， some key steps have to occur in a logical sequence before sentence formation occurs. Children"s mathematical knowledge develops in the same way.
In 2007， researchers at Harvard University， who were studying the two theories， found a clever way to test them. More than 20， 000 internationally adopted children enter the U. S. each year. Many of them no longer hear their birth language after they arrive， and they must learn English more or less the same way infants do——that is， by listening and by trial and error. International adoptees don"t take classes or use a dictionary when they are learning their new tongue and most of them don"t have a well-developed first language. All of these factors make them an ideal population in which to test these competing hypotheses about how language is learned.
Neuroscientists Jesse Snedeker， Joy Geren and Carissa Shafto studied the language development of 27 children adopted from China between the ages of two and five years. These children began learning English at an older age than US natives and had more mature brains with which to tackle the task. Even so， just as with American-born infants， their first English sentences consisted of single words and were largely bereft （缺乏的） of function words， word endings and verbs. The adoptees then went through the same stages as typical American-born children， though at a faster clip. The adoptees and native children started combining words in sentences when their vocabulary reached the same sizes， further suggesting that what matters is not how old you are or how mature your brain is， but the number of words you know.
This finding——that having more mature brains did not help the adoptees avoid the toddler-talk stage—— suggests that babies speak in babytalk not because they have baby brains， but because they have only just started learning and need time to gain enough vocabulary to be able to expand their conversations. Before long， the one-word stage will give way to the two-word stage and so on.

听力原文：M: Have you settled in？
W: Yes, I feel myself quite at home now. I haven't got used to the food yet but I'm enjoying the life on campus.
M: Good. Now we'd better make sure you enjoy your studies. We offer a very wide range of options on the foundation course, as you know, but you can only take six courses. Do you know what you want to do yet？
W: Yes, more or less; but I'm not sure whether to do biological sciences or German.
M: Well, that's quite a difference. Let's see... you've selected to do: physical sciences, basic electronics, art and design, CAD... that's computer aided design and English.
W: Yes, five courses.
M: That's quite a range. Don't you want to do maths or computer program-lining, for example？
W: Well, I'm interested in electronics in computers especially in writing computer games. I'd like to produce educational software, educational games, eventually. I've taught myself a lot of programming and I was good at maths. I don't think I need either of them.
M: Then, why did you choose to do art and design？
W: Well, that will be good for my graphics. I need that to produce games...CAD, too. I've never done computer aided design before.
M: No...right...they've got some powerful packages in the computer graphics and CAD offices...you'll enjoy that. So...that leaves English. It's mostly English literature. I know your English is all right. But as a first year student, you'll have to take the Cambridge Proficiency Test.
W: All right.
