细节理解题。由文章第一段的第三句话可知，温暖的感觉激发温暖的情感，而冷饮在手则会阻止你做出不明智的决定，因此可以说一个人的情感可能会受到冷的感觉的影响。答案 B37．TheauthormentionsHarlow'sexperimenttoshowthat________.A．adultsshoulddevelopsocialskillsB．babiesneedwarmphysicalcontactC．caregiversshouldbehealthyadultsD．monkeyshavesocialrelationships解析 细节理解题。在试验中，猴子喜欢去靠近布制的“妈妈”而不喜欢“金属线”做的“妈妈”。这使心理学家们强调养育者应该让孩子们多接触一些令人感觉温暖的东西，以帮助孩子们成长为有正常社交技能的健康的成年人，故B项正确。答案
