“任务型阅读书面表达”组合练(二)(限时35分钟).任务型阅读Decoding the young brainThere was a funny experiment to see how a young child would answer a specific question compared to an adult. After the adult had spent some time speaking with the child, he asked the child，“What do you think about me？” The child answered, “You talk too much.” When the adult performed the same experiment with another adult, the reply to the same question was, “I think youre a very interesting person.” Even if the adult felt the same way as the child, his brain allowed him to take a moment, consider the question, and come up with an answer. He could have been annoyed, but his answer didnt reflect it because he was being polite.The secret lies in the science of the developing brain. The childs honest answer was reflected in the fact that his brain wasnt equipped to filter (过滤) information before answering the question. As a result, he was honest, but he said something that may have been hurtful. However, the child did not intentionally hurt the adult; its just the way his brain works. As a child grows into adolescence and then into adulthood, that changes.The human brain is made up of billions of neurons (神经元). In order for our body to execute a command, like getting up from a chair and walking to the other room, the neurons in the brain have to communicate with each other. They also help us employ our senses like taste and touch and help us remember things.When the neurons send messages, perhaps one sensation (感觉) the person feels is excitement about eating a cookie because it is so delicious. Later, if that person smells a cookie or hears someone talking about a cookie, it can spark the electrical signals that call up the memory of eating the delicious cookie. In an adult, he or she may remember that eating too many cookies can have consequences, like weight gain. But because the younger brain is more impulsive (冲动的), the desire to feel the pleasure of the sweet treat outweighs the consequences.That is because when a child is young, his brain is “wired” in such a way that he seeks pleasure and is more willing to take risks than an adult. This affects his decisionmaking process and it is why younger people tend to be more impulsive. Sometimes parents have to tell their children over and over again before they remember that something is dangerous or risky. How many times have we heard a parent say, “I tell her this all the time, but she never listens！”To conclude, what we know about the young brain is that children are more likely than adults to be impulsive. It isnt always necessarily because they are being naughty; it may very well be because of their brains. So the next time you ask a child what he really thinks of you, be prepared for any kind of answer.Decoding the young brainAn experiment on a young child A young child answered the question (1) _ the top of his head while an adult paused, and (2) _ twice before he found an answer.Causes of the(3) _reflected in the experimentThe developing brain of the young child contributed to his honest answer.

To them, these young performers have brought the characters alive again.“I was impressed by their perfect acting in the TV series. I never expected they could play so well. It is as good as the 1987 TV adaptation，” a Douban user commented. Before the shooting of the 1987 TV version, all the actors and actresses received systematic acting training and guided study of the original work. This time, Ouyang Fenqiang，who played the leading role, Jia Baoyu, in the 1987 version, was invited to instruct the young performers.However, this is only one of the very few cases of being faithful to the original literature. Recent years have witnessed a large number of poorquality film and TV adaptations of literature classics, spoiling the understanding of the original work. Whether classic literature works should be adapted into film or TV series is worthy of discussion.写作内容1用约30个词概括上述文字材料的主要内容；2用约120个词发表你的观点，内容包括：(1)支持或反对把经典文学作品改编为影视作品；(2)用23个理由或论据支撑你的观点。写作要求1表明个人观点，同时提供理由或论据；2阐述观点或提供论据时，不得直接引用原文中的句子；3文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；4不必写标题。评分标准内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。参考范文：支持：Adaptations of films and TV series from literature classics have created a brilliant culture. The Dream of the Red Mansion is a relatively successful example. However, still many are of poor quality.I am in support of adapting literature classics into films or TV series. Firstly, art takes various forms, and so does the appreciation of classic literature. The digital and commercial age offers us different ways to admire the beauty of literature classics. Adapted versions, if true to the original works and well produced, are undoubtedly a cultural feast for either average viewers or faithful classic literature lovers. Additionally, sometimes when an adaptation turns into a hit, the audience may be driven to read the original work. Trapped in quickpaced life, we could barely spare time to sink into a sofa, reading peacefully. Film or TV adaptations, featuring vivid characters and an appealing plot, bring literature classics back to life.To conclude, literature classics are worth adaptation. 反对：Adaptations of films and TV series from literature classics have created a brilliant culture.
