Like faces, sometimes movement can ____________________________________________. For example, toys that seem to come alive fascinate children. In my day, one of the popular toys was a piece of finely coiled wire called a “Slinky.” It could appear to walk by stretching and lifting up one end over another down an incline, a bit like an acrobatic caterpillar. The attraction of the Slinky on Christmas Day was the lifelike movement it had as it stepped down the stairs before someone trod on it or twisted the spring and ruined it for good. Toys that appear to be alive are curiosities because they challenge how we think inanimate objects and living things should behave. Many toys today exploit this principle to great effect, but be warned: not all babies enjoy objects that suddenly seem lifelike. This anxiety probably reflects their confusion over the question, “Is it alive or what?” Once babies decide that something is alive, they are inclined to see its movements as purposeful.


* incline: 경사면 ** acrobatic: 곡예를 부리는

curiosity 


noun (STRANGE OBJECT)


something that is interesting because it is rare and unusual: Cars like mine are curiosities nowadays. I kept this old pot for its curiosity value (= the interest it has because it is unusual).
