serious issues of product safety. in panama, it is said that medicine made with a poisonous chemical sickened some people. a chinese company had identified it as diethylene glycol, a low cost substitute commonly used in automobile antifreeze.some countries have banned chinese-made toothpaste containing diethylene glycol. china has now told companies to discontinue its use, even though it says the toothpaste is safe. another industrial chemical, melamine, was found in wheat flour used to make pet food in north america. thousands of dogs and cats became sick.the united states has restricted some imports of chinese seafood because they contained banned substance. and questions have been raised about other products, including childrens toys covered with lead paint.chinese officials promised to provide the european union, the biggest trading partner, with detailed reports on enforcement efforts against unsafe goods.meglena kuneva, commissioner (理事) for consumer protection of the european union said china should have kept its promise.china recently closed three companies linked to the panama and the pet food scare. and it dismissed the former head of its food and drug administration. he was found guilty of corruption (腐败) for approving unsafe drugs. this week, a conference of the state council approved a proposed special measure on the supervision of food safety. the xinhua news agency said it calls for stronger controls over producers, greater responsibilities for government and more serious punishment for illegal activities.but chinese officials have accused some foreign media of overstating problems with goods made in china. they say food imports from the united states also fail inspection sometimes. next week, american and chinese food safety

when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons(神经元)in our brains.put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate(模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. this explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. but the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. a group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example：“the hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball)any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. however, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动)indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物)for neuroscience of what einsteins theory of relativity was for physics. and the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else doeswell, perhaps youll understand why.67mirror neurons can explain _.awhy we cry when we are hurtbwhy we cough when we suffer from a coldcwhy we smile when we see someone else smiledwhy we yawn when we see someone else stay up late68the underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “_”aset off bcut offcbuilt up dbroken up69we can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _.arelate to human behavior and interactionbcontrol human physical actions and feelingscresult in bad behavior and social disordersddetermine our knowledge and language abilities70what is the passage mainly about?aways to find mirror neurons.bproblems of mirror neurons.cexistence of mirror neurons.dfunctions of mirror neurons.【要点综述】本文是一篇科普说明文。介绍了镜像神经元的作用。67.c推理判断题。从第二段的第一句话“every time we see someone else
