13、lasses. His voice hesitated a bit, he looked down, and it appeared like he thought such a request was just a dream. Too much to hope for? It was as if his wish were known by me only.I submitted（提交） an application for him to a program that is supposed to provide a free eye examination and glasses. Th

14、ree months later, I phoned to ask what was up with the appointment but they told me there was a cash flow problem until late summer.Steve showed disappointment, thanked me and started to walk away.

26、. DBrazil.27In which section of a newspaper can we most probably read the passage?A. Health. B. Environment. C. Technology. D. Entertainment.CAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldnt help overhearing pa

27、rts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy who could not have been more than seven or eight years old replied, “Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it strengthened my growing belief that childr

28、en are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didnt find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dont seem childlike any more. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and

29、behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development is based not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from on

30、e social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has

31、been fixed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, indiscriminately, to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid

32、moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practised. Children must read simple books before they can

33、read complex materials.28Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _ .A. through touch with society B. gradually and under guidanceC. naturally and by biological instinct D. through exposure to social information29In the authors opinion, the phenomenon that todays children se

34、em adultlike is caused by _.A. the constantly rising standard of living B. the poor arrangement of teaching contentC. the fast step of human intellectual development D. the widespread influence of television 30Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children? A. It can control

35、what children are to learn.B. It develops childrens interest in reading and writing.C. It helps children to memorize and practise more.D. It enables children to gain more social information.31What does the author think of the change in todays children?A. He feels amused by the childrens adultlike be

36、havior.B. He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note.C. He considers it a positive development.D. He seems to be upset about it.DDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn（打哈欠） and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently its

37、 because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk,

38、 dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate

39、to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: The hand took hold of the ball), the same mirror neurons we

40、re triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully function

41、ing. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动).Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience

42、 of what Einsteins theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else doeswell, perhaps youll understand why.32. Mirror neurons can explain _. A. why we cry when we are hurt B. why we cough when we suffer from a cold C. why we smile whe

43、n we see someone else smile D. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late33. The underlined word triggered in the third paragraph probably means “_”. A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up34. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _. A.determine our knowledge and language abil

44、itiesB. control human physical actions and feelings C. result in bad behavior and social disorders D. relate to human behavior and interaction 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. Functions of mirror neurons. B. Problems of mirror neurons. C. Existence of mirror neurons. D. Ways to find mirror n
