should understand the following Connecting with Users Educators may only connect with students from the schools or organizations that they serve and may connect with an individual student only with that student s permission Educators may also connect with colleges and sponsors via the services Students may only connect with educators from their own schools and organizations and may connect with an individual educator only with that educator s permission Students may elect to follow sponsors via the services Sponsors may only view the profiles 简介 of students who elect to follow them Qualifying for Micro Scholarships Students can earn Micro Scholarships based on the courses and achievements they add to their profiles while they are in high school Students may only be awarded Micro Scholarships from colleges and sponsors that they follow before the applicable College s and or Sponsor s Follow Deadline for their class year which is a date set by each college and sponsor and stated on such college s or sponsor s page on the services Once a College s or Sponsor s Follow Deadline has passed students who are seniors in high school may not continue to earn Micro Scholarships from such college or sponsor 56 By using the services both educators and students may A connect with the schools or organizations at the same time 4 B get in touch with each other with both sides permission C connect with colleges and sponsors at the proper time D freely elect sponsors who elect to follow them 57 What are the qualifications for students to be awarded Micro Scholarships A Making academic achievements and meeting the Follow Deadline B Making beautiful profiles and completing the required courses C Setting an accurate date and meeting the Follow Deadline D Continuing to contact sponsors and adding an academic achievement B Spatial navigation 空间导航 relies on brain regions that are commonly affected by the early stages of Alzheimer s disease Before severe and obvious memory problems set in and people are diagnosed with dementia 痴呆 they might report problems with finding their way around and frequently get lost in familiar neighborhoods In that early stage however it is difficult to know whether their damaged navigational skills are actually due to the disease or simply a part of normal aging because we currently don t have a firm grasp on what normal is In their recent study Spiers and his colleagues aimed to change that by establishing a common baseline for adults navigational skills which naturally decline with age For that the researchers needed large numbers of people梙encee the idea for crowdsourcing the experiment via a gaming APP that measures spatial navigation ability Navigating inside a game may not be exactly the same as finding one s way in a real world situation But people are likely to use the same cognitive mechanisms 认知机制 in both situations If you are good at navigating you ll do well in the game And if you are bad at finding your way out there you ll also struggle in the video game Spiers says adding that their team still plans to compare the game performance with real life performance in near future Since its launch in May some 2 5 million healthy people have played Sea Hero Quest making it one of the most impressive scientific experiments to date just by the sheer number of participants To my knowledge never before has spatial navigation been quantified on such a large scale says Katherine Possin an assistant professor of neuropsychology at the University of California San Francisco who was not involved with the research So far one of the main findings coming out of Sea Hero Quest is a simple linear decline with age From the age 19 onward spatial navigation steadily worsens from year to year The 19 year olds were able to remember their starting point and accurately hit it by shooting a flare 信号弹 back to that position 74 percent of the time Those aged 75 succeeded only 46 percent of the time Another finding is that men appear to perform better than women on these specific tasks Although this finding seems to fit with the long held assumption that men are better navigators rather it may reflect that males have more experience with games The researchers tried to account for this possibility yet still found a gender difference in performance Spiers notes however that the games boys and girls play in early childhood梬hichh could influence brain development and spatial skills are much harder to account for The question is why And we don t have an answer yet Spiers says We are really skimming the surface There s so much data from everyone who s played the game We have two years of analysis ahead of us 58 What is the main purpose in experimenting via gaming A To compare Alzheimer s disease and normal aging B To provide a baseline measure of navigation ability C To figure out the way of dealing with dementia D To find out how to firmly grasp what normal is 59 According to the third paragraph what Spiers says indicates that A the levels of performance in both situations are tightly correlated B the popularity of the game makes itself a more impressive experiment C the plan to compare the game and real life has been carefully made D the scale of the game is so large that it is difficult to quantify 60 What can we infer from the last two paragraphs A Men were assumed to be better game players long before B Spatial navigation betters steadily from the age 19 onward C The reason for data being analysed is hard to account for D The findings reveal variations based on age and gender C The habit forming process within our brains is a three step loop 回路 First there is a cue a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode 模式 and which habit to use Then there is the routine which can be physical or mental or emotional Finally there is a reward which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is 5 worth remembering for the future Over time this loop梒uee routine reward梑ecomess more and more automatic The cue and reward become intertwined 交织 until a powerful sense of anticipation and a desire appears Eventually a habit is born Habits aren t destiny Habits can be ignored changed or replaced But the reason the discovery of the habit loop is so important is that it reveals a basic truth When a habit appears tile brain stops fully participating in decision making It stops working so hard or shifts focus to other tasks So unless you deliberately fight a habit梪nlesss you find new routines梩hee pattern will unfold automatically Habits never really disappear They re encoded 嵌入 into the structures of our brain and that s a huge advantage for us because it would be awful if we had to relearn how to drive after every vacation The problem is that your brain can t tell the difference between bad and good habits and so if you have a bad one it s always lurking 蛰伏 there waiting for the right cues and rewards This explains why it s so hard to create exercise habits for instance or change what we eat Once we develop a routine of sitting on the sofa rather than runing or snacking whenever we pass a doughnut box those patterns always remain inside our heads By the same rule though if we learn to create new neurological 神经系统的 routines that overpower those behaviors if we take control of the habit loop we can force those bad tendencies into the background And once someone creates a new pattern studies have demonstrated going for a jog or ignoring the doughnuts becomes as automatic as any other habit Of course those decisions are habitual effortless As long as your basal ganglia 基底核 is complete and the cues remain constant the behaviors will occur unthinkingly At the same time however the brain s dependence on automatic routines can be dangerous Habits are often as much a curse as a benefit 61 What can we learn about the habit loop from the first two paragraphs A It helps your brain understand what is worth remembering B It is a three step loop consisting of a cue a routine and a reward C It becomes automatic and develops a sense of anticipation and desire D It reveals a basic truth that the pattern of a habit wilt unfold automatically 62 The advantage of habits never really disappearing is that A we can easily change what we eat B we develop a routine of sitting on the sofa C we don t necessarily learn a skill again D we can distinguish between bad and good habits 63 What can be inferred from the last sentence in Paragraph 4 A Habits can be changed and replaced B Habits can not be ignored or created C Old patterns always exist in our brain D New patterns seldom remain in our heads 64 What does the passage mainly talk about A The discovery of the habit loop B The automatic pattern of habits C The research on the habit forming process D The brain s dependence on automatic routines D One steamy July afternoon in central Arkansas I was working on an important project in my home office with a dear friend and colleague My trusty printer was churning out 快速生产 a time sensitive report when it simply stopped After fifteen minutes of trying to repair I decided to buy a new printer Upon our return my heart froze to see my house on fire Despite having spent much of my life writing I was still lost for adequate words to describe the sick sinking feeling of seeing your home business and belongings going up in flames along with photographs and memories collected over a lifetime But the panic that filled my shocked heart in that awful moment was for the nine cats that shared my home after being rescued from situations of abuse and abandonment Responding to an early security system warning the amazing firefighters arrived in record time but the chemical laden smoke had already caused deaths I examined and kissed each cat goodbye extremely grateful that they had passed gently without injuries or burns Only animal lovers really understand the unbelievable impact that the loss of one beloved four legged family member can have on your heart mind and soul The loss of so many dearly loved creatures sent me reeling 发 蒙 After staying with another great friend for a couple of weeks I was relocated to a furnished apartment One evening about a month after moving in I was occupied in writing a mystery novel when a falsetto meow sounded from outside the apartment door Was it my mind playing tricks again More than once I had heard seen or felt the brush of one of my departed furry roommates The meow grew louder and more insistent Curious I opened the door Sitting on the doorstep was a kitten 小猫 with an exotic black coat and alert amber eyes A neighbor walking by picked him up and began petting him When I remarked how cute her kitten was she explained that he had been born under a bridge and looked around for food This kitty loving neighbor was quick to offer an extra litter box if 6 I was interested in giving him a home My immediate reaction was a
