JeffersThis month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works.Dear Dr. Jeffers, One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to read minds. Is there any truth to this story?Jane Leon, New York, USADear Ms. Leon,Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs havent been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects（受试者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting（减）the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假设）70 percent of the time. Its not quite mind reading, but its certainly a first step.Dr. J.Dear Dr. Jeffers, My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldnt do it. Why not?Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, CanadaDear Mr. Lewis,Its because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you dont notice how your shoulder feels while youre walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. Its that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.Dr. J.66. What can we learn from the answer to the first question? A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.C. Test subjects have been used to make decisions.D. Computer programs can copy brain processes.67. People laugh when tickled by others because the feeling is _. A. unexpected B. expected C. comfortable D. uncomfortable68. Who has got a little child according to the text? A. Ms. Leon B. Mr. Lewis C. Mr. Moeller D. Dr. Jeffers69. According to the text, Jeffers is probably _. A. a computer programmer B. a test subjectC. a human brain expert D. a medical doctor B Brave Frenchman Found Half-way Around the World(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didnt think twice before diving into the freezing East River.Tuesdays Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Scaport museum.

The 1900 House The Bowler family was one of more than 400 families who applied to 1900 House, a reality TV show which took a typical family back a hundred years to see how people lived in the days before the Internet, computer games and even electricity. The Bowler family spent three months in a London home without a telephone, computers, TV, or fast food. The Bowlers wore clothes from 1900, ate only food available in England at that time, and cooked their meals on a single stove. Paul Bowler still went to work every day in a then uniform. The children changed their clothes on the way to and from school and their classmates didnt know about their unusual home life. Joyce stayed at home, cooking and cleaning like a typical housewife of the time, though everything took three times as long. So does Joyce think that peoples lives were better in the old days? “I think people in the old days had just as many troubles and worries,” Joyce said, and I dont think their life was better or worse, there were lots of things back then that Im happy I dont have to deal with nowadays, but on the other hand life was simpler.” “We had a lot more time with our family, and it was hard being nice to each other all the time,” eleven-year-old Hilary said.
