For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Ever got to grips
13、 with a problem? Picked up a new skill? Grasped a difficult concept? The language of learning is full of references to parts of the body outside the brain. Perhaps thats because these phrases hint at _21_ deeper. Since the beginning of this century, researchers have been working on the mechanism of
14、learning. They are discovering that learning is easier, quicker with the body movements _22_(involve). According to many, the effect could be huge _23_ its gesturing with the arms or moving around a room. Can these insights enhance teaching and learning? And should it inform the way technology _24_(
15、employ) in the classroom?In some ways, the idea that the body can aid learning should come _25_ no surprise. Consider that many of us probably began to understand basic arithmetic by counting on our fingers _26_ we learned to count in our head.A theory called embodied cognition suggests that what go
16、es on in our minds comes from our actions and interactions with the world around us. It means that _27_(encourage) children to think and learn in a purely abstract way might actually make lessons harder for them to understand and remember.Science backs up the idea that actions really might speak lou
17、der than words in the classroom. Even at the subconscious level, we appreciate the communicative value of our body language. There is evidence that teachers, _28_ in various cases use arms and hand movements in lessons, achieve better teaching results.In light of this, its tempting to conclude that
18、teachers, and their students, had better jump up and down, or wave their arms about like windmills during lessons. Professor Manches, however, advises caution. The concern is that science has not quite worked out _29_ the relationship between body and mind works. “We _30_ not jump into the intervent

20、ithdrawalJ. coexistK. adjustedThe degree to which seasonal changes affect mood, energy, sleep, appetite, food preference, or the wish to socialize with other people has been called seasonality. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a condition where depressions in fall and winter _31_ with non-depressi
21、on periods in spring and summer, is the most marked form of seasonality.The typical symptoms of _32_ winter depression include lowered mood, social _33_, increased appetite and weight gain. Mild or no symptoms often occur in spring and summer. It is argued that such pattern of depression occurrence
22、forms an adaptive mechanism which enhances the likelihood of reproductive success, most _34_ for females, among populations living at temperate latitudes(纬度). Women are more likely to become pregnant in the summer and thus to give birth at a time of year when their babies have a higher chance of sur
23、vival. Low chance of summer depression also indicates _35_ individuals and promotes healthier pregnancies, which increase the survival chances of both mothers and babies. In the modern era, it is probable that repeated winter depression is becoming a reproductive _36_.Several lines of evidence also
24、suggest that genetic factors play an important role in the seasonality and SADMillions of years of evolution had _37_ human biochemical systems for survival under equatorial(赤道的) environmental conditions. Modern humans began to move out of Africa only about 150,000 years ago. Little change in our eq
25、uatorialsystems might have been expected over this relatively short evolutionary span. And a genetic defenselessness against seasonal changes in mood and behavior is out of _38_ adaptation to the new living conditions.Today, more studies of SAD and seasonality are receiving considerable attention. S
26、tudies on relatives of patients with SAD also suggested a familial _39_ to the development of SADResearchers are trying to find out whether SAD and seasonality are acquired at birth as a composite entity(实体) or whether the two are separate acquired traits that happen to _40_ in certain individuals.六
27、、完形填空In a letter he wrote in 1884, Mark Twain complained that “Telephones, telegraphs and words are too slow for this age; we must get something that is faster.” “We should communicate by thought only, and say in a couple of minutes what should have ballooned into _41_ in an hour and a half,” said h
28、im.Despite the progress the previous century brought for our understanding of both language and the brain, we are no closer to telepathy(心灵感应), communication from one mind to another by _42_ means, than we were in Twains time. The reason is that the telepathy weve been promised, the sort imagined by
29、 Twain, and _43_ in countless movies and TV shows, is, for the time being, groundless.“Good old-fashioned telepathy” (GOFT) involves a direct transfer of _44_ from one mind to another. It has fascinated people for good reasons. It removes the _45_ of language. With GOFT, we no longer need to put eac
30、h concept into words or to _46_ someones language. You know instantly what one means as the former channel of communication, language, is not at all necessary. The _47_ of language is the central feature of GOFT. It is what enables science-fiction writers to imagine humans and aliens from other plan
31、ets communicating telepathically despite not sharing a language. But can it really come true with current science and technology?Besides, GOFT promises genuine communication. However, _48_ is universal. We all have experiences of saying one thing, only to be understood as saying something else. Beca
32、use language is so flexible, it is also easy to lie or _49_ oneself.We arent even certain if Bobs expression could be in line with what he believes in a years time.These weaknesses have driven people to look for alternatives and finally inspired inventions of artificial languages trying to remove mi
33、sunderstanding. Of course, one day when technology allows, a direct thought-to-thought transfer seems the _50_ solution.Many of us have the confidence that we can think faster than we can speak or write. Having to rely _51_ on language to communicate, however, is depressing. Therefore, the _52_ of a
34、dding new direct brain-to-brain communication channels is exciting. By channels of this kind, our brains can be “_53_ ” and allowed to be committed to other _54_ practices instead of conveying messages.New brain-to-brain channels have the potential to increase _55_, turning us into super-actors, han

I love animals and this fundraising event sounded right up my alley. However, none of my co-workers could sq
38、ueeze time for me. I got cold feet for anxiety about navigating the streets by myself at night alone.But in my hotel room I felt restless and bored. The theatre was only about five blocks away from the hotel. How could I stray? Hence, I decided to brave it. I gathered my room key and set off.I manag
39、ed to find the street of the theatre but when I turned the corner I stopped in shock. The street in front of the theatre was full of bikers-lots of very big, tough-looking bikers. Now I was a woman all alone at night. There were many large men, all wearing insignia suggesting they were in some sort
40、of club or gang. Warning bells began to sound and my heart jumped in my throat. Was I at the right theatre? Had I misread the date of the event?I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theatre where there was, presumably, a crowd of people. I scurried into the theatre. As I sat there, hear
41、t racing, waiting for the film to start, I muttered a prayer to contain my anxieties. A local blues-rock band was the opening act and their performance drew my attention. Enthusiasm for the bands performance soon took away all my worries from my mind and I began to relax.After the band, the film beg
42、an and I understood the presence of the bikers after a conversation with the staff. Being part of an animal rescue group, they had escorted dogs from New Jersey to Chicago. At that moment. I was struck by the bond that had drawn so many disparate folks to the theatre. Singers, sportsmen, ordinary wo
43、rkers-had all been brought together by our shared love of animals. I made new friends. I discovered a new band and supported an important cause. I stayed till the very end and made it to my hotel without any incident, overjoyed that I broke out of the boundary I used to set for myself and ventured i
