When you are busy with schoolwork and making friends，do you want to be babies again?Maybe you think they don't care about anyone or anything，but a study says this may not be true.
Two-year-old babies care about the ways others see them.They even try to make themselves look good when others are around them，found by the scientists （科学家） from Emory University in the US.
Scientists did tests on 144 babies between 14 and 24 months old.They showed the babies a robot with two toys in its hands.When the babies reached the toys in different hands，the scientists gave them different answers.If the babies tried to reach the toy in the left hand，the scientists would act （行动） happily and smile at them.But if the babies picked the toy in the right hand，the scientists would be unhappy and even cry.
They found that when there were no adults （成人） around，children would reach the toy in the right hand more often.But when adults were watching，they would try to reach the toy in the left hand.
Older children and adults show the same kind of action.When others are watching，they would like to make themselves act well. "When no one is paying attention （关注），they act badly"，Sara Valencia Botto，one of the scientists from the study，told the Telegraph.
All the studies before found that children started to care about what others thought of them around 4 years old.But this new study shows that the age is earlier. "It shows that 2-year-old children will change their actions to get a better reply"，Botto said.
