We have been driving in fog all morning, but the fog is lifting now. The little seaside villages are         , one by one. "There is my grandmother's house," I say,       across the bay to a shabby old house.
I am in Nova Scotia on a pilgrimage (朝圣) with Lise, my granddaughter, seeking roots for her, retracing (追溯)           memory for me. Lise was one of the mobile children,         from house to house in childhood. She longs for a sense of      , and so we have come to Nova Scotia where my husband and I were born and where our ancestors      for 200 years.
We soon           by the house and I tell her what it was like here, the memories           back, swift as the tide (潮水).
Suddenly, I long to walk again in the            where I was once so gloriously a child. It still         a member of the family, but has not been lived in for a while. We cannot go into the house, but I can still walk 11        the rooms in memory. Here, my mother          in her bedroom window and wrote in her diary. I can still see the enthusiastic family         into and out of the house. I could never have enough of being          them. However, that was long after those childhood days. Lise            attentively as I talk and then says, " So this is where I 1          ; where I belong. "
She has            her roots. To know where I come from is one of the great longings of the human          To be rooted is "to have an origin". We need           origin. Looking backward, we discover what is unique in us; learn the          of "I". We must all go home again—in reality or memory.

The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby. Almost from the moment it is born, the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment, particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother” ---- the real mother or the mother-substitute(母亲替代物）.
During the first two weeks of its warmth is perhaps the most important psychological（心理的） thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes ---- one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites. Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact（接触的） comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers’ skins, putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body. Wire doesn’t“rub”as well as does soft wire cloth. Prolonged（长时间的）“contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.
According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be. It screams in terror and curls up into a fury little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the bay rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace（拥抱）as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding on to its “mother.”
Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?

After the first two weeks of their life, baby moneys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is __.

What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”?

It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure,_____________.
