To me, he is a fourteen-year-old kid named Joe, with blond hair and blue eyes. To others, he is different. Where I see a kid who j

10、ust needs a lot more attention, others see a mentally disabled boy, a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself. I see someone who just makes daily routine a bit less routine. Others see an annoyance, I a bother.This is not to say that I have never felt resentful(怨恨的) toward Joe. He is my bro

11、ther, and with that comes responsibility. “Gina, could you stay in tonight and watch your brother?” “Gina, do me a favor and feed him dinner and change his diaper(尿布) later, please?” “Could you come home right after school today and get Joe off the bus?”These are phrases that I have heard since I wa

12、s twelve. And sure, they have made me resent my brother to a certain extent. I would think: thats not fair! Everyone else can stay after and be a member of this club, or get extra help from that teacher. Or, all my friends are going out tonight, why cant I? And, how come I have to feed him? He is no

13、t my son!However, the small amount of resentment I feel toward my brother is erased a thousand times over by what I have learned from him. Besides making me responsible from a young age, and helping me be more accepting of all kinds of people, he has taught me to be thankful for what I have.I know t

14、hat there are moments in my life that I should cherish and that Joe will never experience. He will never laugh so hard that he cries. He will never feel the glory of a straight-A report card. He will never comfort a best friend crying on his shoulder. And he will never know how much his family love

15、him.Because he will never know, it is up to me to know, every second, how lucky I am. It is up to me to realize that life should be lived to its fullest, and that you should always, always be grateful that God, or whoever are the powers that be, gave you the ability to live your life the way you wer

18、rcise improves memory and thinking skills. But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect that is, if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise, do our brains respond accordingly? The answer has significant implications fo

19、r any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives.While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits, recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial effects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect. So resear

20、chers at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign decided to focus on expectations, on what people anticipate that exercise will do for thinking. If peoples expectations jibe (吻合) closely with the actual benefits, then at least some of those improvem

21、ents are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise.For the new study, which was published last month in PLOS One, the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system, they asked half of these volunteers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens (拉伸运动

22、) performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking. The other volunteers were asked the same questions, but about a regular walking program.In actual experiments, stretching and toning program generally have little if any impact on peoples cognitive skills. Walking, on the oth

23、er hand, seems to substantially improve thinking ability.But the survey respondents believed the opposite, estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking. The estimates of benefits from walking were lower.These data, while they do not involve any

24、 actual exercise, are good news for people who do exercise. “The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect,” said Cary Stothart, a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida State University, who led the study.If expectations had been driv

25、ing the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise, Mr. Stothart said, then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching. They didnt, implying that the changes in the brain and thinking after exercise are physiologically genuine.The findings ar

26、e strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may, in the process, improve thinking, Mr. Stothart said. That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how, at a molecular level, exercise remodels the human brain, he said. It also should encoura

27、ge the rest of us to move, since the benefits are, it seems, not imaginary, even if they are in our head.1、Which of the following about the placebo effect is TRUE according to the passage?AIt occurs during exercise.BIt has cognitive benefits.CIt is just a mental reaction.DIt is a physiological respo

31、ese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the

32、online edition of Nature Neuroscience，researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调).One of the studys authors，Nina Kraus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory syst

33、em”.This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs，Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in

34、their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A singlesyllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study，the researchers looked at 20 nonChinese speaking volunteers，half with no musical back

35、ground and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie，the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings:squint，bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were pro

36、cessing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study，Patrick CM.Wong，said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.1、When learning Ch

38、ve something to do with music training?ABecause there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.BBecause skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.CBecause music training might help people with language study.DBecause people who do well in Chinese study do well in mu

41、il that companies use.Sounds and smells can influence consumer purchasing decisions.Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response.A study published earlier his year compared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender（薰衣草）

42、was given off and when it wasnt.It found that the smell increased the number of customers purchasing items and the amounts of their purchases.An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more,and were willing to pay more,when the room had a mixed smell of flowers.Realizin

43、g the subconscious impact of smell,many stores apply artificial scents（香味）through their heating and air-conditioning vents（通风口）or place scent machines above their doors.For instance,a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.Ever felt frenzied due to a stores fa

A retailers choice of music can have a big impact on customer moods.One study found that when subjected to loud music,customers will spend less time in a store.But interestingly,the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers satis

45、faction.Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customer actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music.Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments,many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers.Well,you could always leave the

46、store and take a break,but the food court probably isnt your best choice as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customer experience.Online retailers use a variety of other strategies to get your business,but you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scent
