yawning with him, though you"re not tired.
This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to
sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were
unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagions (有感染力的) yawning,
which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.
Hogo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that
happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body
are in constant exchange about how we"re feeling. "Emotions are closely linked with states of internal (内
部的)responses, "he explained. "There are also more visible changes in our gesture and facial expressions. When we"re in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there"s the obvious
tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise,
anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure. "
Hugo Critchley further explained, "Our bodies synchronize and when we like the other person, we
even copy his behivour. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you"re sitting-it"s pretty likely
that you will be the same. Scientists believe it"s our way of telling each other that we"re partners. Through
body language, humans give each other very subtle (微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions. "
So, what lessons can we learn from this? "Spend time with happy people-otherwise your health could
suffer, " said Critchley. "When we"re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we"re happy,
our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel
healthy and it affects everyone around us. "
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions
B. change rapidly
C. relax temporarily
D. respond accordingly
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions
B. Children like copying the actions of the fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.
unavoidably at the bottom of the list Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is
viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly notan education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. In
fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their
thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazzinfluence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced
into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that can not be acquired any other way. Science can
explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive (情感的) meaning of the same
phenomenon.We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific
symbols. They are ways we human beings "talk" to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give
children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them themeanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important
way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music
education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
B. disagree with their parents on education
C. view music as an overlooked subject
D. prefer the arts to science
B. show music identifies a society
C. introduce American musical traditions
D. prove music influences people"s lifestyles
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C. express people’s feelings in different ways
D. explain what it means to be human differently
B. Music should be of top education priority.
C. Music is an effective communication tool.
D. Music education makes students more imaginative.
A new study shows that elephants live better in the wild.
Researchers studies 4,500 elephants in European zoos and compared them with elephants living
in wild. They found that wild elephants are healthier, live longer and reproduce(繁殖) more than those
kept in zoos.
Many animals live longer in zoos than those who live in the wild. In zoos, they are not worried
about some animals that may attack them at any time when in the wild. There"s always plenty to eat.
And they are cured when sickness strikes. But when it comes to elephants, the situation is different.
The researchers said that zoos do not offer enough space for elephants to walk about as much as
30 miles a day. Too little exercise and too much food are causing zoo elephants to put on extra pounds.
The weight gain can lead to heart disease and other health problems. Even the baby elephants born in
zoos are heavier than those born in the wild.
Bringing Asian and African elephants together in zoos has also caused problems. A disease that is
not dangerous for African elephants has spread to Asian elephants, and is harming them. " Zoos have
accidentally created this," says Mason. "It"s killing Asian adult elephants."
Exerts point out that keeping elephants in zoos isn"t a problem for the animals only; it"s also quite
costly for humans. In the last 10 years, zoos have spent about $500 million on caged space for about
250 animals.
B. are heavier
C. are healthier
D. reproduce more
B. elephants walk as long as miles a day
C. little room to wander leads to problems for elephants
D. too much food in zoos leads to heart disease for elephants
B. The diseases of zoo elephants are caused by being overweight.
C. Zoos free the elephants because of the cost of keeping them.
D. Elephants live better in the wild than in zoos.
B. a guide book
C. a healthy program
D. a science magazine
to be thought that this couldn"t be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train
their brains to work faster. "Your brain is a learning machine," says University of California scientist
Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we
were younger. All that"s required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for
the mind.
Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process(过程)in
which the brain deals with information ( positscience. com). Since much of the data we receive
comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better
speed and accuracy (准确性).
Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish (辨别) sounds (between
"dog" and "bog", for example) at an increasingly faster speed. It"s a bit like tennis instructor, says
Merzenich, hitting balls at you-faster and faster to keep you challenged(受到挑战).
You may start out slow, but before long you"re pretty quick,
The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic.
If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.
To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and
excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language. . . "When
it comes to preventing ageing, you really do " use it or lose it" ,"says Barbara Sahakian, professor at
Cambridge University.
B. computer languages
C. the activities one joins in
D. the information being dealt with
B. mastered
C. developed
D. researched
B. Brain research started ten years ago.
C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer.
D. People believed nothing could stop the brain slowing down.
A. The training methods work better for the old.
B. People should use the brain to stop it from ageing.
C. The training of the brain should start at an early age.
D. It"s necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.
very close to the shore. With the help of Max Egan, we went to film them near Byron Bay. It
was extremely exciting to spot the little puffs(水柱)of spray on the horizon. When migrating, the
whales can be traveling at speeds of about 12 km an hour and can dive under anywhere between
five and forty minutes, but with many years of experience Max usually guided our boat to exactly
the right place to provide us with amazing sighting. As the whales break the surface like submarines
(潜水艇 ) , the water spills off their broad dark backs and huge tails. Then, with a powerful down
stroke ,they dive back into the depths of the sea, leaving just a smooth glassy patch of water or
"footprint" on the surface to show where they had been.
One day we had traveled up and down the shore and far out to the sea in search of whales, but
the horizon was deserted. There was no report of whales in the area so we
decided to test out Max"s new, highly sensitive hydrophone (水中听音器) and the result was
astonishing. As soon as the hydrophone was in the water, we found ourselves listening to the most
beautiful voices. What may have seemed like a vast empty ocean filled with the singing of whales.
It is the males which sing,as they migrate between feeding and breeding (养育) grounds. No one
knows for sure what the purpose of these songs is,whether they are love songs to the females or
warnings to other males to stay away.
It was thought that each population of hump backs had its own song which remained regular but
recent findings suggest that the whales appreciate a memorable tune (曲调)and quickly adopt any
new songs they hear.
B. The songs of whales.
C. The traveling speed of the whale.
D. The depth of the whales" dive.
B. He is a brave scientist on whales.
C. He is an experienced man in finding whales.
D. He is an expert in making hydrophones.
3. The author"s main purpose of looking for whales in the passage is___________.
B. studying the beautiful songs of whales
C. making films about whales
D. hunting whales for research
A. Each group of humpbacks had the song of their own
B. Whales can"t sing to each other.
C. Whales aren"t easy to find.
D. The whale can"t dive in the sea as long as forty minutes.
