19、n still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex part of his bodythe brain. In ancient times men did not think that the brain was the center of mental activity. Aristotle, the philosopher of ancient Greece, thought that the mind was based in the heart. It was not until the 18th century
20、 that man realized that the whole of the brain was involved in the workings of the mind. During the 19th century scientists found that when certain parts of the brain were damaged, men lost the ability to do certain things. And so, people thought that each part of the brain controlled a different ac
21、tivity. But modern research has found that this is not so. It is not easy to say exactly what each part of the brain does. In the past 50 years there has been a great increase in the amount of research being done on the brain. Chemists and biologists have found that the way the brain works is far mo
22、re complicated than they had thought. In fact, many people believe that we are only now really starting to learn the truth about how the human brain works. The more scientists find out, the more questions they are unable to answer. For instance, chemists have found that over 100,000 chemical reactio
23、ns take place in the brain every second. Mathematicians who have tried to use computers to copy the way the brain works have found that even using the latest electronic equipment they would have to build a computer which weighed over 10,000 kilos. Some recent research also suggests that we remember
24、everything that happens to us. We may not be able to recall this information, but it is all stored in our brains. Scientists hope that if we can discover how the brain works, the better use we will be able to put it to. For example, how do we learn language? Some children learn to speak, read and wr
25、ite when they are very young compared to average children. But scientists are not sure why this happens. They are trying to find out whether there is something about the way we teach language to children which in fact prevents children from learning sooner.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author want to

You
31、can do work that you love. You can set your own business schedule and wear jeans to work. You never have to listen to a boss, and you make all the decisions yourself. You can even raise your salary any time you want. But the reality is different. “Having your own business can be lonely,“ says David
32、Paik. After working for an advertising agency for six years, he started a website design business at home. His first income in the first two months was $ 0. Finally, he got a big project creating a website for a magazine. Then he had a new problem: his schedule. “ I was working twelve hours a day, s
33、even days a week, because I didn t have employees to help me.“ Today, Paik Web Design is successful, but David says, “I really wasn t prepared to be a business owner. I didnt understand the challenges. “ Some of the challenges are practical. With no boss, it s easy to take too much time off and get
34、too little work done. With no co-workers, you might feel bored or lonely. You have to pay for your own benefits like vacations, insurance, and a retirement plan. And if you make a bad business decision, you could lose all the money you invested. For all of the reasons, more than half of all new busi
35、nesses fail within one year. Another problem is balancing work with personal life. As a business owner, you cant just stop at 5 p. m. and forget about your work until tomorrow. Even when Im watching TV in the evening, I m always thinking about my clients and my projects,“ says David Paik. Still, hun
36、dreds of people around the world start business every day, and most enjoy the experience. “There are lots of advantages to having your own business,“ says Denise Williams, the owner of a women s clothing store. “You can decide exactly how to do your work, how much money you want to make, and who wil
37、l work for you. “ Williams borrowed money from family members to get her business started. She began by making and selling T-shirts in her apartment, and she has just opened a new, large store. Laura Castro, owner of a translation service, agrees. “When you are your own boss, there are no limits. I
38、started five years ago, translating Spanish and English. Now I have employees who work with six different languages. And five years from now? I can t imagine!“ she smiles.（分数：10.00）(1).According to David Paik, being your own boss is_.（分数：2.00）A.enjoyableB.perfectC.challengingD.easy(2).One of the adv
39、antages of being a business owner is_.（分数：2.00）A.making your own decisionsB.being free most of timeC.working at homeD.having employees to help(3).In the sentence “Some of the challenges are practical“ (Para. 3), “practical“ means_.（分数：2.00）A.difficultB.clearC.complicatedD.realistic(4).According to t
40、he passage, more than 50% of all the new business fail within one year because of_.（分数：2.00）A.no bossB.no co-workersC.bad decisions makingD.all of above(5).Which of the following statements is TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.You can get higher salaries if you are your own boss.B.Life can be hard if you run your own
41、 business.C.There is no advantages of being a business owner.D.All who run their own business enjoy their experience.Here s some good news for parents of tweens and teens: you rule. That may be hard to believe sometimes. And its true kids wont always follow your health and safety rules. But studies
42、show parents who keep setting boundaries make a huge difference. The latest example is a survey on media use by the Kaiser Family Foundation. It found that typical kids ages 8 to 18 spend an astonishing 7 hours and 38 minutes a day consuming entertainment media, indulging deeply in TV, computers , g
43、ames,cellphones, music players and other devices while occasionally glancing at books and other non-electronic media. Many experts, including the pediatrics (儿科学) academy, consider that much screen time is bad for mental and physical health. But the study also found that kids whose parents set any t
44、ime or content limits were plugged in for three hours less each day. “ Parents can have a big influence,“ says Kaiser researcher Vicky Rideout. “ The reality is that teenagers care deeply what their parents think,“ says Kenneth Cinsburg, a specialist of the Children s Hospital of Philadelphia. “ The
45、 challenge for parents is to get across rules and boundaries in a way that doesn t feel controlling. “ Research shows that parents who set firm rules but explain and enforce in a warm supportive way work better than those who set no rules, fail to enforce them or rule with a “because I said so“ iron
46、 grip. Ideally, “ kids understand the rules are about their well-being and safety,“ Ginsburg says. Still, achieving just-right parenting is “ challenging“ , says Margaret Broe-Fitzpatrick, a teacher in Kensington, Md. , who has four children, ages 8 to 16. “There are so many different things to keep
47、 track of. “ She and her husband keep their kids busy with sports and other activities, limit screen time and review the music their children download. They talk with their 16-year-old son about the rules hell face when he gets a driver s license soon. But, she says, they can t police everything the
48、 kids encounter on the Internet or in friends homes. “We re just doing the best we can,“ she says, “even if young people may protest at first, they do feel more safe and secure when limits are set. “（分数：10.00）(1).The survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation is mentioned to illustrate the idea that_.（分
49、数：2.00）A.kids don t always follow parents rulesB.only few parents believe the good newsC.much media use results in bad healthD.parents rules make a huge difference(2).What did the kids do when parents set any time or content limits, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation?（分数：2.00）A.They spent more time staying outdoors
