阅读下列材料,回答问题。

材料一 19世纪下半叶成都的发展相对缓慢,城墙仍然是城市中最显要的建筑,站在上面可鸟瞰全城;四个城门是成都与外界联系的唯一通道,在黎明开启,在晚间关闭。街道是市民共有的最基本的公共空间,总是充斥着行人、轿子、推车,“凉棚、幌子、大招牌、旗子把狭窄的街道挤得水泄不通”。全城商业和居住区域并不隔离,商人小贩没有任何限制地在街头出售商品。成都街头经常被用来作为戏剧表演的舞台,流动的班子喜欢在围满观众的空地上表演。各种资料显示,20世纪以前地方官员很少控制街头,这给予人们分享这一空间的机会,居民们尽其所能地使用街头。

材料二 20世纪初新式精英发起了一场轰轰烈烈的改良运动,尝试借助西方文化构筑新的公共空间。1909年出现第一座西式钟楼;随着人口的增长,四个城门造成交通拥堵,自1913年开始逐渐拆毁旧城墙、旧寺庙,一些古迹也遭到毁灭性的破坏。1904年,劝工局“仿日本劝工场办法,设立产品陈列所”。1909年劝业场建成,次年,改名商业场,成为购物中心和公共娱乐场所。20世纪初少城公园开放,装备了电灯,傍晚后也能开放;1913年,政府兴建了一座展览厅和图书馆。随着城市改革浪潮的推进,反映新思潮的新兴地方戏相继诞生;1909年电影引入成都。同年,成都第一家新式大众剧院——可园在会府北街开张。开张之时,允许妇女进入,引起人们好奇围观。同时飞行表演、乐队、舞厅及交响乐队也相继出现在成都。成都的警察机构成立于1902年,在20世纪的头二十年里,由于没有正式的市政机关,警察对街头贸易、劳务市场、公共卫生进行严厉整顿。

        A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common.After all,the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world,and the baby is,well, just playing…right? Perhaps,but some developmental psychologistshave argued that this“play”is  more like a scientific investigation than one might think.

        Take a closerlookat the baby playing at the table.Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge,it falls in the ground---and, in the process, it belongs out important evidence about how physical objects interact ; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world ), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?).

        Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way---that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language  using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has. for example, unlike the child , Mommy actually doesn't like Dove chocolate.

     Viewingchildhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn ,but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort ---the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world---is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive systems that make young children feel good about feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, ”It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”
