2019年6月英语六级阅读理解全真模拟题汇总 英语六级阅读理解全真模拟题(12) What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a
mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or
mathematics during pregnancy seem utterly impossible. How could such extremely
complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection
between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not
join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because
it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry her blood. Any
chemical change in the mother’s blood will affect the child for better or worse.
But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be
dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.
In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that
whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated
or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a
knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less
of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent
children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a
success of that study.
As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially
sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs connections
between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the
movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these
factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The
same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other center
of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The
capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music
that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure
that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether
that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be
decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.
