14、n the secret of the touchstone!The touchstone was a small pebble (卵石) that could turn any common metal into gold. The writing explained that it was among thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: the real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles were cold.

15、So the man camped on the seashore and began testing pebbles. He thought that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and put them down again, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea.He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was

21、ind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific America reported.The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a debate (讨论) and a soccer match. A

22、t the same time, scientists scanned(扫描) their brains and recorded their brain activity.Similar parts of their brains became active while watching the videos, especially parts that are connected with motivation (动力), learning and memory. According to their scans, friends who watched the same videos p

23、arts reacted in similar ways.

It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs,

31、and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line

32、 of writers who have failed to go against the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science

33、uncovered about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others arent?To answer these questions, Brooks studies a wide range of disciplines（学科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a simple description of facts. But Brooks has

34、formed his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the readers attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we he

35、ar about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brooks story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fai

36、r, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Br

37、ooks attempt to translate his tale into science.1The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to_.Aexplain where science can be appliedBshow the value of Brooks new bookCremind the reader of the importance of scienceDexplain why many writers use science in their works

38、2According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?AIts strong basis.BIts clear writing.CIts convincing points.DIts memorable characters.3What is the authors general attitude towards the book?AContradictory.BSupportive.CCautious.DCritical.4What is the author likely to w

43、e and they begin to ache. Hold them even longer and they begin to trouble you. You will not be able to do anything. Its important to think of the problems in your life, but even more important to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed; you wake u
