Want to improve your math skills without working hard? Simply zap (击打) the brain with a weak current of electricity and then, all your problems will be solved! At least that's the claim being made by a team of British scientists from London's Oxford University.
The main aim of the experiment, conducted on a group of student volunteers from Oxford University and University College London, was to test if parts of the brain could be shocked into getting it to work better with numbers.
To test this, 15 students, divided into three groups, were asked to solve the same two mathematical problems every day for a week. The problems, which involved identifying the larger of two numbers and plotting one on a number line, were made a little more challenging by replacing the numbers 1?9 with symbols.
However, before starting the test, two of the groups were subjected to a 20?minute session of a light electric current to the parietal lobe, which the scientists believe is the brain's number cruncher (能迅速运算者). For the first group the current flow was passed right to left, while for the second it was transmitted left to right. The third group received no help at all.
The group that got zapped right to left seemed to show an amazing improvement in their math skills. However, the ones that got zapped left to right were reduced to the level of almost six?year olds! The results for the people who got no help were somewhere in between.
While scientists are not sure why the direction of the current would make such a difference, they believe that zapping it from the right side, seemed to turn up the activity of the brain cells to math, while going the other way turned or closed them down. Luckily, the impact is expected to last for only six months!
While this is great news, do not fire your math tutor yet. That's because the research, no matter how successful, is not being done to aid lazy students, but to help people who suffer from dyscalculia (计算障碍), a disease which makes people unable to cope with simple day?to?day numerical issues, like counting change or figuring out their expenses.
23．In which time order was the experiment carried out?
a．Divide the students into groups.
b．Test the students with problems.
c．Give some students some electric zapping.
A．a，b，c B．a，c，b C．b，a，c D．c，a，b
24．From the passage, we can infer that ________．
A．the direction of zapping the brain is very important
B．the impact of zapping the brain will last forever
C．scientists don't know how to zap the brain correctly
D．people with dyscalculia can't recognize numbers
25．What is the aim of the experiment?
A．To help students to improve their math grades.
B．To test which part of the brain controls calculation.
C．To help people who suffer from a certain disability.
D．To study whether a light electric current will damage students' brain.
26．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Dyscalculia is no longer a problem
B．A good way to improve your math skills
C．Benefit from zapping the brain
D．Improve math skills by zapping the brain
C
For a stay?at?home mom, a computer with an Internet connection can truly be a lifeline (救生索)．When diapers and baby talk become just too much, adult talk is just a click away. But for some moms, the attraction of the online world becomes too strong to resist and instead of being an occasional thing, it becomes an addiction (瘾)．
Coleen Moore of the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery says she is seeing a growing number of young stay?at ?home moms for whom blogs and social networking have become a passion, which will harm their real?world lives.
At present, Internet addiction is not officially recognized as a mental disorder.But a recent survey showed 14 percent of Internet users find it hard to stay away from their computers for several days at a time, and that 8 percent use the Web to escape problems.Considering this, it is probably just a matter of time before it is.
What drives a mom to the Internet is not different from what drives an alcoholic to drink: an empty place that needs filling.“In addiction treatment, we talk about the fact that there's a void(空虚)，”says Moore.“Whatever that void may be — whether it's emotional, spiritual, physical — we're trying to fill it.” So, how can you find the void？A journal tracking when and why you go online and what you may be avoiding when you do so can be helpful in finding it out.
But what makes Internet dependence special is the fact that usually it is not just a way to escape the tiring parenting or make a connection with others, but also a way to make a statement and be heard.
27．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that the author believes________．
A．most people find it hard not to use computers
B．the Web is a healthy way for moms to escape family problems
C．surfing the Internet can help solve the mental disorders of moms
D．Internet addiction will sooner or later be officially recognized as a mental disorder
28．What's the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A．What a void is.
B．How to treat Internet addiction.
C．Why moms go online.
D．How to track your behavior.
29．If a mom wants to get rid of Internet addiction，she should________．
A．talk to online friends
B．try to fill the empty space in life
C．create a new online name
D．ask an alcoholic for some advice
30．According to the passage, for some moms, the Internet is all of the following EXCEPT________．
A．a way to be heard
B．a way to talk to others
C．a way to make statements
D．a way to learn to be a mother
