11、s do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, dont worry - psychological findings have shown its completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving
12、 a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we cant help wanting more. According to the findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit in the teens brains is particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were acti
13、ve when they received “likes” on the social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worked all the same.So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know t
14、he reasons behind our desire for attention. In “why do people long for attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to copy
15、these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happines
16、s even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effect
17、s of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker.So perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes” is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves - a hard, but a worthy one.1、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “derive” in Paragraph 2?Adeliver BgiveCp

21、age learning for more than 20 years.Ullman says his research shows that the human brain does not have a special area or system for making language. Over time we have simply reused or co-opted(指派) parts of our brain for language. And those parts, he says, are ancient-older even than humans themselves
22、.This study examines the theoretical framework(准则) that language is learned, stored and processed in two ancient learning and memory systems in the brain.Ullman, Hamrick and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language. They found that people learn language using two memory
23、systems: declarative and procedural. Memorizing vocabulary, for example, is a declarative memory process. But learning grammar is, mostly, a procedural memory process.Declarative memory, in humans at least, is what we think of as learning memory, such as, Oh, remember what you said last night or thi
24、ngs like that. And procedural motor memory is what we often call motor memory such as how you learn to ride a bicycle. Or, Ullman adds, These procedural memory skills become so deeply leaned that we are no longer aware that we are doing them.However, Ullman explains that the two long-term memory sys
25、tems can share tasks. And, he ads, the adult brain uses the systems to learn language a bit differently than a childs brain.Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns. They think about it purposefully. For a child, the grammar may come mo
26、re naturally. They dont have to think about the grammar rules before speaking.In addition to language learners, Ullmans study could help people who have a brain injury that affects speaking and writing. This knowledge can also help those who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia(阅读障碍). People
27、with dyslexia have difficulty recognizing words and symbols accurately.1、How did Ullman study humans memory systems?ABy examining the brain with his team.BBy studying language learning over years.CBy comparing different languages year after year.DBy referring to data from other studies on language.2

The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 7
41、5 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269 with liqu
