23、er reply.

Moments like this. I know.”It was true. I missed my mom still and remembered

30、at follows is an accurate description of your personality.Longer ring finger: The Sweet TalkerIf your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that youre likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation.

A biology textbook.CWhy Do People Blink Their Eyes?People blink（眨眼）their eyes tens of thousands of times every day. Scientists ha
38、ve long believed blinking was an involuntary movement and served mainly to keep the eyeballs wet. But a new study suggests it has a more important purpose.An international team of scientists from the University of California at Berkeley studied the blinking of human eyelids. The journal Current Biol
39、ogy published their findings. The team said they found that blinking “repositions our eyeballs so we can stay focused” on what we are seeing. They said that when we blink our eyelids, the eyes roll back into their socketsthe bony area that surrounds and protects the eyes. However, the researchers fo
40、und the eyes dont always return to the same position. They said this causes the brain to tell the eye muscles to reorganize our eyesight.Gerrit Maus is the lead writer of the report. He serves as an assistant professor of psychology at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Maus said, “Our e
41、ye muscles are quite sluggish（迟缓的） and imprecise, so the brain needs to constantly adapt its motor signals to make sure our eyes are pointing where theyre supposed to. Our findings suggested that the brain measures the difference in what we see before and after a blink, and commands the eye muscles
42、to make the needed corrections.” The researchers said that without such corrections our surroundings would appear unclear and even jumpy. They said the movement acts “like a steadicam(摄影稳定器) of the mind.”6/8The researchers said they asked volunteers to sit in a dark room while staring at a small dot
43、 on a flat surface. They used special cameras to follow the volunteers blinks and eye movements. After each blink, the dot was moved one centimeter to the right. The volunteers did not notice this, but the brain did. It followed the movement and directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot. After
44、the dot was moved in this way 30 times, the volunteers eyes changed their focus to the place where they predicted it would be.Professor Maus said, “Even though participants did not consciously register that the dot had moved, their brains did, and adjusted with the corrective eye movements. These fi
45、ndings add to our understanding of how the brain constantly adapts to changes, commanding our eye muscles to correct for errors in our bodies own hardware.”63. According to the new study, blinking eyes can _.A. serve to keep the eyeballs wet B. reposition eyeballs to stay focusedC. consciously corre
46、ct eye movements D. make our eyes adapt to motor signals64. From the experiment, we can learn that _.A. volunteers could see the moving dot with special camerasB. the eyeballs could stay in the place as they were predictedC. participants were aware of the dots movements to the rightD. the brain comm
47、anded the eye muscles to refocus on the dot65. The underlined word “register” in Paragraph 5 probably means _.A. realize B. refocus C. reserve D. reason66. This passage shows that _.A. eye muscles are quite inactive and impreciseB. the research is of great value in the eye movementC. the brain plays
48、 an important role in seeing things clearlyD. volunteers control their blinks to follow the changes of the dotsDCollege graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search.

49、ir chosen major and intended career pathor those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not!
