15、 Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But if youre someone whos more prone to typed out messages than verbal ones, you may want to reconsider. According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people youre talkin

16、g to, you should call them instead of texting. A new study, published in the? Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging（发信息）or em

17、ail. In the study, researchers used various experiments to gauge（测量）connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people anticipated

18、 that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someones voice actually made the experience better. People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward, study co-author Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of

19、 marketing at the McCombs School of Business, said in a statement. In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communicationwhether video or audio onlymade the strangers feel

20、 significantly more connected than when they communicated via text. Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can corre

21、spond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person.Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message, she

22、 explains. Each party is more present, and therefore, able to gauge the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.24According to the passage, which of the following will NOT prevent you from visiting your friends?ALong distance.BBusyn

24、mail cost less fees.BBecause they think it is more convenient to text or email than to call.CBecause they intend to discuss with another person.DBecause they think it is more convenient to save the data.27Which is the best title of the passage?AVoice Communication Is Better Than Texting MassageBReme

25、mber To Get In Touch With Your old FriendsCStrengthen The Communication InteractionDControl Your True Meaning Behind A ConversationCOn the Yucatan Peninsula, people are working to protect and expand mangrove forests. The low trees grow in watery areas near ocean coasts. Years ago, mangroves were all

26、 along the Yucatan shores. Today, there are few.A team of villagers from the area is trying to renew the forests. Scientists and donations support the effort. The Mexican government helps pay training costs for the team. The villagers joined the renewal effort more than 10 years ago with scientist J

27、orge Alfredo Herrera. He told them how to dig canals (运河). The dig was going to be hard work and the pay was only four dollars a day. Recently, the workers finished the second part of the process: planting young mangroves near the city. This mangrove renewal effort is similar to others around the wo

28、rld. Scientists and community groups are increasingly recognizing the need to protect and bring back the forests. Mangroves are a very important ecosystem to fight climate change. While these trees only grow on less than 1 percent of the Earths land, they can bury around five times more carbon in th

29、e sediment (沉积物) than a rainforest. Yet, around the world, mangroves are being destroyed. From 1980 to 2005, as much as 35 percent of the worlds mangroves disappeared. In Mexico, as in much of the world, development is the main threat to mangrove existence. The area of Cancun lost most of its mangro

30、ves to roads and hotels starting in the 1980s. Mangroves on the countrys southern Pacific Ocean coast also have been cleared to make room for fish farms. Oil industry operations in waters off the Gulf of Mexico threaten mangroves there too. There have been restoration efforts around the world to pro

31、tect mangroves. In Mexico, the successes have arrived slowly. Manuel Conzalez is a 57-year-old fisherman. He helped regrow many mangroves. Gonzlez says storms do not cause much damage and the fish and wildlife have returned. But the mangroves face a new threat. “In 10 years, you have a very nice man

What you may not realize, however, is that the learning process actually continues in your dreams.It might sound like science fiction, but researchers are increasingly focusing on the re

36、lationship between the knowledge and skills our brains absorb during the day and the often strange imaginings they generate at night. Scientists have found that dreaming about a task weve learned is associated with improved performance in that activity (suggesting that theres some truth to the popul

37、ar idea that were “getting” a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it). Whats more, dreaming may be an essential part of understanding, organizing and retaining what we learn. While we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays the patterns of activity it experienced during waking hours, all

38、owing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neural virtual reality.A vivid example of such replay can be seen in a video researchers made recently about sleep disorders. They taught a series of dance moves to patients suffering from sleepwalking and related conditions. They then videotaped the s

39、ubjects as they slept. Lying in bed, eyes closed, one female patient on the tape performed the dance moves she learned earlier “the first direct and unambiguous demonstration of behavioral replay of a recently learned skill during human sleep, ” writes lead author Delphine Oudiette.Of course, most o

While our bodies are at rest, scientists theorize, our brains are extracting whats important from the information and events weve recently encountered, then integrating that data into the vast store of what we already

41、knowperhaps explaining why dreams are such an odd mixture of fresh experiences and old memories. A dream about something weve just learned seems to be a sign that the new knowledge has been processed effectively. In a 2010 study published in the journal Current Biology, researchers at Harvard Medica

42、l School reported that college students who dreamed about a computer maze task they had learned showed a 10-fold improvement in their ability to navigate the maze compared to participants who did not dream about the task.Robert Stickgold, one of the Harvard researchers, suggests that studying right
