Dear Dr. Jeffers, One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to read minds. Is there any truth to this story/Jane Leon, N
13、ew York, USADear Ms. Leon,Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs havent been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects(受试者)were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers
14、on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting(减)the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions(假设)70 percent of the time. Its not quite mind reading, but its certainly a first step. Dr. J. Dear Dr. Jeff
15、ers, My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle (胳肢)him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldnt do it. Why not?Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, CanadaDear Mr. Lewis,Its because of how the brain works. The brain is
16、 trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you dont notice how your shoulder feels while youre walking down the street. But if someon
17、e comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. Its that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction. Dr. J. 46. What can we learn from the answer to the first question? A. Some equipment is able to read human minds. B. Some progress has been made in mind rea
18、ding. C. Test subjects have been used to make decisions. D. Computer programs can copy brain processes. 47. People laugh when tickled by others because the feeling is _. A. unexpected B. expected C. comfortable D. uncomfortable48. Who has got a little child according to the text? A. Ms. Leon B. Mr.
19、Lewis C. Mr. Moeller D. Dr. Jeffers49. According to the text, Jeffers is probably _. A. a computer programmer B. a test subjectC. a human brain expert D. a medical doctorBDThe Cost of Higher Education Individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education. A university education is of huge and direc
20、t benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Usi
21、ng taxpayers money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. www. . com/gaokao/beijing Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked do
22、wn upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. www. . com/gaokao/beijing If students ha
23、ve to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate. Many people believ
24、e that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economicall
25、y productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education. 68. The und
26、erlined word them in Paragraph 2 refers to A. taxpayers B. pressing calls www. . com/gaokao/beijing C. college graduates D. government resources 69. The author thinks that with full government funding A. teachers are less satisfied B. students are more demanding C. students will become more competen
27、t D. teachers will spend less time on teaching 70. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to A. argue against free university education B. call on them to finance students studiesC. encourage graduates to go into business www. . com/gaokao/beijingD. show their contribution to higher
28、educationCThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher- Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didnt play well with the other children and he always needed a
29、bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mothers perfume(香水)。Ted
30、dy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boys mind seemed to
31、 come alive. The more she encourage him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best tea
32、cher he ever had in his whole lift. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.(医学博士).The story doesnt end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompsons ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel im
