I was coaching girls’ track in Iowa and there was a young discus(铁饼)thrower on the team with 36 potential(潜力). Here goes her story.

At the end of our training 37 the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she 38 come to the school on Sunday for a little 39 training. I agreed. The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and 40 missed going to the state meet. She had won every discus event, 41 that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had 42 been between 106’1” and 110’10”.
Something began to 43 me. Why couldn"t Lucy 44 to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier(心理的障碍) 45 a physical one. I decided to try something 46 . I made up my mind to 47 to Lucy.

On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to 48 ?” She began to throw again, but 49 were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didn’t tell Lucy. As I was measuring the 50 one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is 51 ! ” It wasn’t. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in 52 .

The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy 53 with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had 54 thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.
Sometimes we 55 our own barriers in our mind. So learn to take control of your mind.

举一反三
This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over the next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.
This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.
Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone(臭氧) levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.
“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in the amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicted, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.

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.
小题1:Dr. Merzenich’s training method mainly depends on ________.
A.speech training | B.computer languages |
C.the activities one joins in | D.the information being dealt with |
A.used | B.mastered | C.developed | D.researched |
A.Practice makes a quick mind. |
B.Brain research started ten yeas 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. |
People also tend to forget magic"s failures and to be impressed by its surface successes. They may consider magic successful if it appears to work only 10 per cent of the time. Even when magic fails, people often explain the failure without doubting the power of the magic. They may say that the magician made a mistake in reciting the spell or that another magician cast a more powerful spell against the magician.
Many anthropologists(人类学家) believe that people have faith in magic because they feel a need to believe in it. People may turn to magic to reduce their fear and uncertainty if they feel they have no control over the outcome of a situation. For example, farmers use knowledge and skill when they plant their fields. But they know that weather, insects, or diseases might ruin the crops. So farmers in some societies may also plant a charm or perform a magic rite to ensure a good harvest.
小题1:From the passage, we can learn that the writer of the passage may be _______.
A.a hunter | B.a farmer | C.a magician | D.an anthropologist |
A.Magic and Hunting. | B.Magic and Farming. |
C.Why Magic Works? | D.Why People Believe in Magic? |
A.magic words. | B.magic events. | C.words or expressions | D.magicians. |
Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的,实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.
Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room"s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant"s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim(暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies, so we"re almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管)," architect David Allison says. "How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That"s what we"re all struggling with."
小题1:What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
A.Light. | B.Ceilings. | C.Windows. | D.Furniture. |
A.the shape of furniture may affect people"s feelings |
B.lower ceilings may help improve students" creativity |
C.children in a dim classroom may improve their grades |
D.students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed |
A.the problem is not approached step by step |
B.the researches so far have faults in themselves |
C.the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect |
D.research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns |
