You cry your eyes out at the 41 plot you feel sad or the characters i they suer, or happy or them when they are successul. It is only when the movie is over that you realize that what you were watching is not real. qpztKZD0XR But why couldnt you accept that when you were so 42 in the movie? It was reported that people simply cannot think emotionally and logically at the same time. qpztKZD0XR It has long been known that something dierent goes on in our brain when we use logic, rather than responding to something emotionally. Thinking logically is a step-by-step 43 , in which people make decisions through 44 and ind answers sensibly.

But the most interesting part is that when asked to solve problems that required both logical and emotional 49 , the participants always used one o the regions at a time while the other one went dark. qpztKZD0XRHowever, people sometimes ended up using the wrong one. This explains why some people are good at solving complex math problems but have poor social skills. And why even the smartest people get taken in by ake but 50 stories. qpztKZD0XRIII. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.qpztKZD0XRPrince Harry of Wales, Scottish actress Karen Gillan, Ron Weasley from the movie Harry Potter what do they have 51 ? They all have ginger hair, or as people usually say, they are all “redheads”. qpztKZD0XRBritain may be the most red-headed country in the world. About 1 to 2 percent of the worlds population has red hair, but in the UK the numbers are much 52 , with 13 percent of Scots, 10 percent of the Irish, and 6 percent of people in England having red hair. qpztKZD0XRScientists have tried to explain why some people have red hair or some time and now they may have ound an answer: the dull 53 in Britain. qpztKZD0XR“I think its to do with sunshine,” said Alistair Moat, the headmaster o St Andrews University, UK.

In Sweden, or example, the average daily hours o sunshine is 5.4. In Scotland it is only 3.1 hours. qpztKZD0XRTo 56 this, the DNA o people living in these areas has changed 57 ; scientists call this a (变异. Originally, the 58 on our body is a mixture of two kinds of (黑色素 black melanin and red/yellow melanin, but with certain parts of DNA 59 , the production o black melanin is restricted while only red/yellow melanin is made. The 60 is red hair, light skin color, (雀斑 and a greater 61 to sunlight. qpztKZD0XR “We need 62 skin to get as much vitamin D from the sun as possible,” added Moat. qpztKZD0XR63 , whats more interesting is that the redhead DNA mutation is recessive, which means it is hidden and can often 64 generations without showing. qpztKZD0XR“At least 1.6 million Scots carry a red-head gene mutation, and most are 65 that they do,” Moat said. This is why a person who does not have red hair can still produce red-haired children if he or she is a carrier o this special DNA. qpztKZD0XR51.
