And one of the questions we would like to answer is when do we actually create this dream?”The scientist believes his latest research shows that certain neurons（神经元） or individual brain cells are linked with specific objects or concepts.He found that a particular neuron lit up when a volunteer thought about Marilyn Monroe.If a database was built up identifying various neurons with concepts, objects and people it would allow them to “read the subjects minds”, according to Dr. Cerf.However, Dr. Roderick Oner, a clinical psychologist and dream expert, said that this kind of visualisation would be of limited help when it came to interpreting the “complex dream narrative”.In addition to get a detailed picture of individual neurons subjects had to have electrodes implanted（植入电极） deep in the brain using surgery.The Nature researchers used data from patients who had electrodes implanted to monitor and treat them for brain seizures（癫痫）.However, Dr. Cerf said he hoped that it would be possible at a later stage to monitor people without invasive surgery.He said it would be “wonderful” to be able to read the minds of coma patients who are unable to communicate.1.According to the passage, psychologists try to interpret peoples dreams_.A.by recording higher level brain activityB.by comparing peoples memories of their dreams with an electronic visualizationC.by linking certain neurons with specific objects or conceptsD.by asking about people after their dreams2.Whats the best title for this passage?A. Psychologists try to ask people about their dreamsB. Scientists plan to record peoples dreamsC. Dream experts want to interpret the complex dream narrativeD. The Nature researchers intend to treat patients for brain seizures3.According to Dr. Cerfs latest research, when a person thinks about a famous film star,_.A. a particular neuron will become bright with excitementB. various neurons will identify the star as famousC. the star will appear in his brainD. the stars face will light up4.The underlined word “coma” in the last paragraph most probably means_.A. the loss of the ability to hearB. being unable to control ones movementsC. being unable to moveD. the state of being unconsciousLiving near the beach may come with an extra perk （利益）:better health. A new study analyzed information from more than 48 million people in England and found that the nearer they lived to the coast, the more likely people were to report good health within the past year.Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress, the researchers said. They pointed to another British study that found that people who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside.The difference from living near the coast was relatively small. “But a small effect, when applied to an entire population, can have a substantial impact on public health,” said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter, England.“However, its too soon to advise people to hit the beach to improve health,” Wheeler said. The study only found an association, not a cause-effect link, and its possible that other factors could explain the results. For instance, it could be that people who are wealthier, and therefore healthier, are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast, Wheeler said, a phenomenon known as the migrant effect. But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas, which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results, Wheeler said.Because the study looked at only Englandan island country in which everyone lives within 72 miles of the coastits not clear whether the findings would apply to other populations. Far from England, a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doesnt prove that peoples health and the place they live are linked, its possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies.If future studies confirm the results, the next step would be to find out it is what coastal environments that can benefit health. Wheeler said it may then be possible to bring those benefits to people living in other areas, through virtual environments, for instance.5.We can conclude from the passage that .A.people are encouraged to move to the coastB.people living near the sea may be healthierC.people pay increasing attention to healthD.people are worried about residential environment6.According to the researchers, living near the sea .A.doest nearly affect the British populationB.can cure some difficult diseases in a wayC.can help get over ones stressD.means freeing from sadness or troubles7.What Ben Wheeler said means .A.the British public health is decreasingB.concrete evidence favors life near the seaC.wealthier people are likely to be healthierD.exact reasons are proposed for further research8.What does the underlined word “proximity” in the passage mean?A.Being close. B.Being distant.C.Being similar. D.Being opposite.语法填空Tony and I are good friends. We tried to walk across the United States of America. Were not exactly sure 1 we were doing it.
