A new study adds to a growing body of research that says it is. According to the study, a 1 shift in how we gather i

17、nformation and communicate with one another has touched off an era of rapid evolution that may 2 change the human brain as we know it. The impact of technology on our brain should not come as a 3 . Professional musicians have more gray matter in brain regions 4 for planning finger movements. And ath

18、letes“ brains are bulkier in areas that 5 hand-eye coordination. That“s because the more time you devote to a specific activity, the stronger the neural (神经系统的) pathways responsible for executing that activity become. So it makes 6 that people who process a constant stream of digital information wou

19、ld have more neurons dedicated to filtering (过滤) that information. To see how the Internet might be rewiring us, the brains of 24 adults were 7 as they performed a simulated Web search, and again as they read a page of text. During the Web search, those who reported using the Internet 8 in their eve

20、ryday lives showed twice as much signaling in brain regions responsible for decision-making and complex reasoning, compared with those who had 9 Internet exposure.

The Food and Drug Admi

22、nistration(FDA)which has chosen nine images to be placed prominently on cigarette packs sold in the USA after Sep. 2010-hopes they“ll provide enough shock value. In the most sweeping anti-tobacco effort since the Surgeon General“s warning became forced on cigarette packaging in 1965, the FDA said Tu

23、esday it will begin requiring tobacco marketers to cover the top half of cigarette boxes and 20% of tobacco advertisements with nine bluntly graphic anti-smoking images. B. The goal: reduce consumption among the nation“s 43 million smokers and prevent millions more, especially teens, from ever start

24、ing. The FDA selected the terrible images, which include pictures of rotting teeth and gums, from 36 proposed last year. Cigarette marketers also will be required to place 1-800-QUIT-NOW numbers on new packaging. “These labels are frank, honest and powerful depictions of the health risks of smoking,

25、 said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. “With these warnings, every person who picks up a pack of cigarettes is going to know exactly what risk they“re taking.“ The images are the biggest change to cigarette warning labels since 1984, when the government began requiring cigaret

26、te packs and tobacco ads carry several health warnings. C. Cigarette consumption has dropped from about 42% of the population since the mid-1960s, but has remained at about 21% since 2003, or about one in five adults, despite federal and state excise tax (特许权税) increases that have boosted prices to

27、more than $5 a pack. D. The FDA“s movewhich faces a challenge by tobacco marketers in federal appeals court next month after a lower court ruling upheld the government“s regulatory power over new packaging, imaging and warning labelsis a major advance for the anti-tobacco movement. E. “With 10 milli

28、on cigarettes being sold every minute and more than 2000 children under the age of 18 starting to smoke each day, we don“t have a moment to lose in protecting the American public, especially children, from the harm caused by these dangerous products,“ says Marion, president of the American Academy o

29、f Pediatrics (美国儿科协会). “This is a huge step forward in encouraging kids not to smoke and adults to quit,“ says Paul, vice president of policy for the American Lung Association. About 40 countries, including Canada and Mexico, already require similar warnings, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-Fr

30、ee Kids. F. Gregory, professor at Harvard University“s School of Public Health and director of its Center for Global Tobacco Control, says the images aren“t as scary and over the top as Canada“s images, which he notes have not lowered that nation“s smoking rates. “These messages are better,“ he says

31、 “They show respect for smokers and adverse health consequences.“ A recent international study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that generally, such images are effective. About 25% to more than 50% of smokers say they make them more likely to quit. G. Smokers and non-smoker

32、s were split on the potential impact. “It“s discrimination,“ says Davis, a 46-year-old Washington D.C. resident who says she has been smoking for 20 years. “They already hit us with all these taxes on cigarettes,“ Davis says. “Now they are making us put up with this. I know the risks of smoking. Why

33、 don“t they do something about alcohol addiction instead of always picking on us?“ “I“ve seen before and it“s not pleasant to look at,“ a young man says. “But I“m used to people telling me not to smoke.“ Some health specialists say the warnings may offer only temporary warning effect and that smoker

34、s who repeatedly see such images may become insensitive to the message about the health risks of smoking. H. Anti-smoking efforts aimed at kids produce mixed results. The American Legacy Foundation“s 11-year “Truth Campaign“, funded by the tobacco industry“s 1999 settlement with state governments, i

35、s considered among the most effective. The effort tells kids that tobacco marketers want to attract them to smoke to replace the thousands of older smokers who die each year. Teens aware of the campaign were twice as likely as others to say they had no plans to start smoking, according to a 2008 stu

36、dy by Health Education Research. By contrast, teens who saw Philip “Think Don“t Smoke“ campaign had more positive attitudes toward tobacco companies. “The so-called youth prevention campaigns that the tobacco industry runs are a farce (闹剧) ,“ says Sward of the American Lung Association. I. A Harvard

37、 School of Public Health survey of 1000 US adults, being released today, finds that more than 70% of Americans favor reducing nicotine (尼古丁) to non-addictive levels, but only half want a ban on cigarettes. J. Major cigarette makers have opposed labeling plans since the FDA was given the power to reg

38、ulate tobacco products in 2009 under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act . Brannon Cashion, president of branding consultants Addison Whitney, says tobacco marketers have done a good job dealing with growing anti-smoking efforts. What they need to do is stress innovation, such as d

39、eveloping low nicotine and electronic cigarettes, he says. K. On Wall Street, tobacco stocks were little changed. Philip parent Altria Group closed at $27.31, down 1 cent, while Reynolds lost 8 cents to $38.17. Rival Lorillard gained 79 cents to $111.89. “The cigarette companies are in an environmen

40、t where their product is seen as dangerous,“ Cashion says. “In order to continue to manufacture the product, they have to continue to put innovations in place that can do everything possible to make as safe an environment as possible for those who smoke and the people most affected with their smokin

41、g.“ L. Convenience stores, which sell about 85% of the cigarettes sold in this country, could take a hit because of the new labels. “A future beyond cigarettes could be complicated. You“ll see stores selling more items like food to make sure they aren“t hurt,“ Says Jeff, spokesman for the National A

When his wife, Elsie, came to visit him at a

46、 care unit for patients with dementia, he would give her a perfunctory (敷衍的) kiss, then wander off through the rooms and stare out the window. Elsie tried to walk with him and hold hands, but he would shake her off, leaving her heartsick. A music therapist at the facility, Alicia Clair, was searchin

47、g for ways to help couples like Elsie and Tom connect. Ms. Clair asked Elsie if she“d like to try dancing with Tom, then put on some music from the 1940sFrank Sinatra singing Time After Time . Ms. Clair said, “I knew Tom was a World War vet, and vets did a lot of ballroom dancing.“ As Sinatra began

48、singing, Elsie opened her arms, beckoning. Tom stared a moment, then walked over and began leading her in the foxtrot (狐步舞). “They danced for thirty minutes!“ Ms. Clair said. When they finished, Elsie broke down and sobbed. “I haven“t been held by my husband in three years,“ she told Ms. Clair. “Tha

49、nk you for bringing him back.“ Ms. Clair, a professor of music therapy at the University of Kansas, tells this story to show how music can reach people with Alzheimer“s disease. Music has the power to bypass the mind and wash through us, triggering strong feelings and cueing the body to synchronize with its rhythm. Researchers and clinicians are finding that when all other means of communication have shut down, people remember and respond to music. Familiar songs can help people with dementia
