For most students, math can be tough but scientists have proved that math problems can actually trigger physical pain. Scientists came to his conclusion with an in-depth experiment, which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal. They began by finding out how much participants fear math. Those involved were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson. Based on their answers, participants were divided into groups. One group was made up of people who were particularly afraid of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with the subject. Both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks. When a math task was going to come next, a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come, a blue square would be shown. Using a brain-scan machine, scientists noticed that whenever people from Group One saw a yellow circle, their brain would respond in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain. It was like the pain they would feel, for example, if they burnt their hand on a hot stove. But they reacted less strongly when they knew that they would be faced with a word task. “ However, scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group. Math can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMA), math is associated with tension, apprehension and fear. “When you are really thinking about the math problems, your mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that could go wrong,” explained Ian Lyons from University of Chicago, US, leader of the study. “The higher a persons anxiety of a maths task, the more he activated brain regions associated with threat detection, and the experience of pain.”More interestingly, the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks. “This means that its not that math itself hurts; rather, the anticipation of math is painful,” Lyons said. Based on the study, scientists suggested that things could be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math, which might mean they perform better in tests. 58. In the first stage, scientists ask participants some questions to _. A. see whether math hurt. B. find out how much they fear math C. observe how their brain response D. test their endurance of pain 59. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How to overcome math fear. B. Physical pain affects math performance. C. Math pain in your brain. D. Unknown truth about pain. 60. What can be concluded from the experiment? A. The anticipation of math has no relation to students confidence in math. B. Moderate mathematic anxiety promotes students academic performance. C. Effective solutions have been worked out to lower students anxiety of math. D. Physical pain caused by HMA disappears in the process of doing math problem. CIts 5pm on a Friday and Im standing in a coffee shop above Shibuya crossing - one of the most busiest place in Japan where more than a thousand of Tokyos smartly dressed people gather at eight points, ready to cross - then rush straight for each other. It looks like they must bump into each other, but Its amazing that they all manage to reach the other side safely.But the real reason Im here is that I want to see people crash. I want businessmen to knock into each other, their umbrellas flying off their arms, and uniformed schoolchildren hitting grannies. Why may I see this now, but wouldnt have had the chance even a year ago? Its very simple - smartphones.Smartphone use is booming in Japan. In 2012, only about a quarter of Japanese used them, most being perfectly happy with their everyday mobiles. But now more than half of all Japanese now own a smartphone and the number is rising fast. But with that rise has grown another phenomenon - the smartphone walk. Those people whore staring at a phone screen adopt this kind of pace- their head down, arms outreached, looking like zombies（僵尸）trying to find human prey(猎食).Surprisingly, an American named Michael Cucek who has lived here for more than 20 years told me smartphone walk probably wouldnt be a long-term problem. Japanese phone manner is in fact better than anywhere else in the world - hardly anyone speaks on their phones on trains, and teenagers wouldnt dare broadcast music out of one. If things got truly bad at Shibuya, the police would just start shouting at people to look up.But really, is the smartphone walk such an annoying problem? Theres only one way to find out. So I leave the coffee shop, head down to the crossing and start typing an email, promising myself I wont look up until I get to the other side. When they start walking past me, its my time to cross. As I step forward, the experience quickly becomes nervous - legs jump in and out of my vision without warning, while shopping bags fly towards my face before being pulled away at the last moment. Im sure Im going to get hit, but after a few seconds I relax. Its OK. Everyones reacting for me.I expect to see two smartphone walkers just like me. But instead I find a young couple, very much in love and very much refusing to let each others hands go just to give way to a fool on his smartphone. The girl gives me such a look of dislike that I quickly apologize and rush round them. That look was enough to ensure Ill never be smartphone walking again.61. Why does the author stand in a coffee shop above Shibuya crossing?A. Because he is waiting for somebody.B. Because he can have a good view from there.C. Because he wants to see what would happen because of smartphones.D. Because its interesting to see businessmens umbrellas flying off their arms62. How does Michael Cucek find smartphone walk in Japan?A. He found it by accident when he lives here.B. Japanese pay much attention to their phone manner in public. C. The police in Shibuya are too strict with peoples phone manner.D. Smartphone walk in Japan has a deep root.63. How does the author confirm whether smartphone walk is annoying or not?A. By personal experimenting B. By comparing with other way of walkC. By giving example. D. By explaining the traffic rules patiently64. After smartphone walking himself, the author thinks_.A. its exciting to walk while sending emailsB. its really dangerous to walk while sending emailsC. there are some
