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 y 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 does-well, perhaps youll understand why.72.mirror neurons can explain .a.why we cry when we are hurtb. why we cough when we suffer from a coldc.why we smile when we see someone else smiled.why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late73.the underlined word triggered in the third paragraph probably means “a. set offb. cut offc. built upd. broken up74.we can learn from the passage that mirror neurons_.a.relate to human behavior and interactionb. control human physical actions and feelingsc.result in bad behavior and social disordersd.determine our knowledge and language abilities75.what is the passage mainly about?a.ways to find mirror neurons.b. problems of mirror neurons.c.existence of mirror neurons.d.functions of mirror neurons.参考答案 72-75 caad*结束amonarch butterfliesone of the last west coast homes of the monarch butterfly, a type of insect may soon disappear. strangely, it is in a town that calls itself butterfly u.s.a., pacific grove, california. the town of pacific grove loves the butterflies. every year they have a parade (游行) and hundreds of children dress up as butterflies. monarch butterflies are the town mascot. tourism is very important, and many people come to see the butterflies. the butterflies are good for the development of the town. in 1981 there were so many butterflies it looked like it was raining butterflies. tens of thousands of monarchs stayed on tree branches near pacific grove. now there are not so many. the building goes on a little bit at a time, and you dont notice it day by day. over time, you can see that there has been a lot of development. as new buildings go up, many trees are cut down. this reduces the natural homes for the butterflies.monarchs travel hundreds of miles each year, returning to the same woods, often to the same trees. the female monarchs need milkweed to lay their eggs; the males will follow the females.millions of monarchs have traveled regularly along the same path for thousands of years. they start their trip in the mountains of mexico and travel to the middle part of america. if the woods where the butterflies live are destroyed, the whole species (物种) could be lost. there have been monarch butterflies along the coast of california for as long as man can remember, but no one is sure how much longer they will last.56which of the following is true about monarch butterflies in pacific grove?
