38、 The material s inven tors sayit has a nu mber of possible uses and someday could provide a more en vir onmen tally friendly alternative（替代物）to plastic. The material, made from shrimp（虾）shellsand proteins produced from silk, is called“ shrilk. ” It is thin, clear, flexibleand strong.A major ben efit

39、 of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic s tough nessand flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and 60s. Decades later,however, plastic s very durability（ 耐用性）is raisingquestionsabout how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or sh

40、ort-lived con sumer goods,used in the home for a few years and the n cast into a Ian dfill where they will degrade for cen turies. Whatis the point of making someth ing that lasts 1,000 years?Shrilk not only will degrade in a Ian dfill, but its basic comp onents are used as fertilizer（月肥料）,and so wi

41、ll en rich the soil.Shrilk has great pote ntial, the inven tors said. Materials from which it is made are ple ntiful in n ature,found in everyth ing ranging from shrimp shells, in sect bodies to livi ng pla nts. That makes shrilk lowcost and its mass product ion possible shouldit be used for product

42、s dema nding a lot of material.Work on shrilk is continuingin the lab. The inven tors said the material becomesflexiblewhen wet, so they re exploring ways to use it in wet environments.They realso develop ing simpler product ion processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like forcomput

43、er cases and other products in side the home. They re evenexplori ng comb ining it with other materials, like carb on fibers, to give it new qualities.54. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?A. A major ben efit of shrilk is its biodegradability.- 9 -B. The adva ntages of plastics brought a re

46、how it is whe n you see some one yaw n and you start yaw ning too? Or how hard it isto be among people laugh ing and not laugh yourself? Well,appare ntlyit s because we have mirror neurons（神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existe nee of mirrorneurons suggests thatevery timewe see some oneelse do som

47、ething, our brains imitate（模仿）it , whether or not we actually performthe same action. This explains a great deal bout how we learn to smile, talk , walk, dance or play sports.But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to expla in physical actions, they also tell us thatthere is a biol

48、ogical basis for the way we un dersta nd other people.Mirror neurons can un doubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relateto our ability to use Ianguages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found thatmirror neurons relate stronglyto Ianguage.A

49、 group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to liste n to （for example: “Thehand took hold of the ball” ）, the same mirror neurons weretriggered as when the action was actually performed （in this example, actually taking hold of a ball）.Any problems with mirror neurons may we

50、ll result in problems with behavior. Much researchsuggests that people with social and behavioralproblems have mirror neuronswhich are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help findtreatme nts for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems

51、to provide us with even more in formatio n concerning howhuma ns behave and in teract. In deed, it may turn out to be the equivalent（ 相等物）for neuroscienee ofwhat Einstein s theory of relativity was forphysics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cin ema when some one else does well,p

52、erhaps you ll understand why.57. Mirror neurons can expla in._A. why we cry whe n we are hurtB. why we cough whe n we suffer from a coldC. why we smile whe n we see some one else smileD. why we yaw n whe n we see some one else stay up late58.The underlinedword “ triggered” in the third paragraph pro

55、ay a com mon belief why they quit. It s much morethan faili ng in exams at school.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can t do it .They are lazy, and perhaps not too bright. So researchers were surprised when they asked more tha n450 kids who had quit school about why the

56、y left.“ The vast majority actually had pass ing grades and they were con fide ntthat theycould have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researchersaid. About one milli ontee nsleave school each year. Only about half ofAfrican-American and Hispanic students will receive a dip

57、loma, and actually all dropouts come to regrettheir decision. So , if failing grades don t explain whythese kids quit, what does? “The most dependable findingwas that they were bored, ”said John Bridgeland. “They found classes uninteresting.They didn t see any directconnection betwee n what they wer

58、e lear ning in the classroom and their own lives or ambiti on. ”The study found that most tee ns who do drop out wait un til they are 16 because most states allowstudents to quit at that age. In the US, only one state, NewMexico, has a law requiri ng tee nagers to stayin high school un til they grad

59、uate. Only four states require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions.Another researcher says rais ing the compulsory atte ndance age may be one way to keep more kids inschool.As these dropouts look back, they realize they ve made a mistake. So if anything can give thesepeople an extra push t
