问题     Whether the eyes are "the windows of the soul" is debatable; they are in- (1)______
tensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two
months of a baby’s life, the stimuli that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The (2)______
eyes need not to be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Signifi- (3)______
cantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, or will (4)______
the sight of only one eye when the face is presented on profile. This attrac- (5)______
tion to eyes opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. (6)______
    In one study, when American four-year-old were asked to draw people, (7)______
75 percent of them drew people with mouths, and 99 percent of them drew (8)______
people with eyes. In Japan, furthermore, where babies are carried on their (9)______

选项
答案old — olds
解析 用连字符连起的数个单词除了可以做一个名词的前置修饰语如a who-cares facial expression外，还可作名词，如：forget-me—not(勿忘我(一种植物的名称))，a four-year-old(一个四岁的孩子)。如果这样的结构作名词，它的复数形式一般可在第一个词或最后一个词后面加复数形式，如：men-of-war，runners—up，touch-me-nots，close-ups，原句中的four-year-old的复数是在old后加s。
