Questions are based on the following passage．

Children do not think the way adults do．For most of the first year of life， if something is out of sight， it"s out of mind．If you cover a baby"s（36）toy with a piece of cloth， the baby thinks the toyhas disappeared and stops looking for it．A 4-year-old may（37）that a sister has more fruit juicewhen it is only the shapes of the glasses that differ， not the（38）of juice．
