27、nd joy in this time of year. The last few autumns of my life, however, I recollect in shades of gray rather than cheerful oranges and yellows. When I became a single mother, every aspect of life took on new meaning. Since I was used to carrying out most of the parental duties without much help durin

28、g my marriage, I truly did not foresee how different parenting would become after the marriage was over. But suddenly I realized I was a statistic. The daily routine was not changed so much; it was the angle at which I had begun to look at life. I believed my ex-husbands lawyer was tracking every gr

29、ade the children made, and I was under a microscope in this new town where the children and I moved our “broken home.“ I feared having to eventually establish my family with each new teacher and each new term as a single-parent family. I just wanted to be us again, without the stigma (特征 )of the lab

30、el that put on us. During those few gray years, I would reassure myself that soon things would be better, and that I would someday be able to feel whole again. There is no mathematical equation of adults proportioned to children to equal a stable, loving family. Every family has its strengths. In fa

31、ct, studies show that in families who read together, eat together and communicate openly, children are likely to succeed academically, as well as socially and emotionally. I am sure these, habits are just as effective when practiced in single-parent families. I realize now that I am not a statistic.

32、 We are an active, vital family in this charming community, where we are not marked by any stigma of any statistics of any focus groups. We are given opportunity, all of us. We are surrounded by beauty and immersed in possibility. There is joy to be found here, in what we see around us and in creati

33、ng our own rendition of how we want to be seen. There is strength and grace in our own willingness to break free from conformity without falling behind the barriers of self-imposed limitations or preconceived notions of where we should fit in this world according to research. 31 What does the last s

36、parent families （ B） her ex-husband （ C） social scientists （ D） the feeling about autumn 34 In the few gray years, the author （ A） felt helpless and sad （ B） had the help from her friends （ C） never lost hope, and believed that everything would change someday （ D） became very nervous and silent 35 I

Two neuroscientists suggest that social pressures drive individuals to coordinate their behaviors so that everyone in the group gets an evolutionary edge

40、. Approximately 85 percent of people prefer their right hand, which is controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain. One theorized benefit of locating a particular function in one hemisphere is that it frees the other to deal with different tasks. But that idea does not explain why. population-wid

41、e trends for handedness exist in the first place. Moreover, evidence gleaned in recent years has overturned the long-held belief that human handedness is a unique by-product of brain specialization attributable to language. A suite of studies has revealed brain lateralization in species from fish to

42、 primates(灵长类 ). Last August, for instance, scientists discovered that in the wild, chimpanzees show hand preferences. The presence of lateralization throughout the animal kingdom suggests some benefit from it, contend neuroscientists Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste and Lesley Roge

43、rs of the University of New England in Australia. Also, last August, in the journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences, the two presented evidence to support their idea that social constraints force individuals toward asymmetry in the same direction. They noted, for example, that baby chickens attack mor

44、e readily when a threat appears on their left. And Rogers has found that chicks with more asymmetrical brains form more stable social groups: perhaps by approaching each other on the right, she hypothesizes, the chicks fight one another less and are more likely to notice predators. Lateralization se

45、ems to confer an advantage for some fish as well. In certain species, the majority tend to swim left when a predator attacks, whereas other species head right. The potential benefits of such patterns may not seem intuitive: a predator could learn that attacking a fish on one particular side is more

46、effective. But Vallortigara and Rogerss idea fits with the conventional explanation of why fish school at all. When threatened, fish turning in the same direction have a greater chance of survival than if they scatter to become a darting swarm of head-butting fish. Nevertheless, the bird and fish. d

47、ata do not explain human handedness. “The issue then becomes: maybe this lateralization long predates the rise of the mammals,“ speculates Robin Dunbar ,an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Liverpool in England. 37 Fish school suggests that _. （ A） it was a necessary evolutionary proces

48、s （ B） it has something to do with human right-handedness （ C） they need to coordinate with other fish （ D） their brain function is unique 38 Locating a particular function in one hemisphere _. （ A） does not explain why handedness is such an overwhelming trend （ B） does not explain why 85%people are

49、 right-handed （ C） shows that human handedness is a unique by product of brain （ D） enable people to think with the other hemisphere 39 What are the second finding of Giorgio Vallortigara and Lesley Rogers? （ A） Lateralization of animals. （ B） The human handedness and animal lateralization present common features. （ C） animal species suffer from lateralization. （ D） social conditions led to the lateralization of animal species. 40 Due to _, human
