【解析】

Recently a five-year study was conducted by the Center for Childhood Development in Los Angeles,

California, regarding the way babies react to different types of people. The findings of the study suggest that infant children seem to be more comfortable around other babies than they are with strange adults.The results confirm the ideas of Dr. Richard Perelman, who has written many books about raising children with his research team. Dr. Perelman supports the findings of the study and adds that it is a sounder idea to keep children with other children, as in a day care center, than it is to have children cared for by a baby-sitter. According to the results of the study, whereas some babies seem to show fear of strange adults, they are likely to reach out to try to touch an unfamiliar baby. If the findings are true,it may lead to an increase in the use of family-oriented day care centers where children can spend more time with each other and less time with adults.
