17、l. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal. Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a f
18、airly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger
19、and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival. A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. So, some sc
20、ientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure. In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or re
21、stricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings. So, the next time you cr

25、 anything you ever learned? Would it be a blessing or a curse?Since the early 20th century, psychologists have identified countless cases of people with super memories that allow them to lean and retain (保持) new information with total accuracy. The most famous was Solomon Sherashevski, the subject o
26、f Alexander Lurias classic book, The Mind of a Mnemonist (记忆大师). Sherashevski could recall an amazing number of facts due to his talent for eidetic imagery(照相式记忆) ，which allowed him to recall sights, sounds, smells etc. Sadly enough, he seemed to have significant difficulty living a normal life due
27、to his inability to forget anything he learned and the continual daydreaming caused by his constant recall. There are certainly other mnemonists, whose memory feats (功绩) are also surprisingly impressive. Strangely enough though, research suggests these professional mnemonists are no better than aver
28、age peoples peaking of remembering events out of their own lives. But there are also people whose memories seem to work differently. They are able to recall almost every moment of their lives even the early childhood, a condition commonly called hyperthymesia (超忆症). Unlike mnemonists, people with hy
29、perthymesia dont rely on any techniques to memorize, it seems to happen automatically. While no former studies have found the reasons, a recent laboratory test shows they arent any better than average people in terms of learning new information.Recently Neuropsychology presents a study of a 63-year-
30、old man identified as “MM”. He didnt realize his memory skills until 29 when he found he could recall events from American history with amazing accuracy. Despite his superior memory, his life seemed completely unaffected. He did poorly in school, no friends at all. Besides, though his recall resembl
31、ed that of people with hyperthymesia, his memories werent quite as vivid.So far there isnt enough information to make any real conclusions about the super memory. However, as new studies become available, we are sure to learn about what makes these brains so unusual.28. What made it difficult for Sh
32、erashevski to live a normal life?A. His poor social skills.B. His great interest in history.C. His inability to forget things.D. His early childhood experience. 29.

Its hard to tell whether super memory is good or not.C. MMs life has been greatly improved by his memory
34、.D. Super memory contributes to better academic performance.31. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A book review.B. A public speech.C.A popular science magazine.D. A report on mental health.DMark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel. And he surely deserves additional pra
35、ise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism. I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War. H. B. Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is only the most famous example. These early stories dealt directly with slavery
36、. With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely. He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again, in the postwar years, Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of
37、 race. Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn, Twains most widely read tale. Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim, the escaped slave, and many occurrences
38、of the word nigger. But the attacks were and are sillyand miss the point. The novel is strongly anti-slavery. Jims search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic. As J. Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fictiona rec
39、ognition that the slave had two personalities, “the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the father and the man.”There is much more. Twains mystery novel Puddn-head Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his d
40、ay. Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior (低等的) to whites, especially in intelligence, Twains tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth. A slave gave birth to her masters baby and, for fear that the child should be sold South, switched him for the mas
41、ters baby by his wife. The slaves light-skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class. The masters wifes baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The point was difficult to miss: nurtur
42、e (养育), not nature, was the key to social status. The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudicemanner of speech, for examplewere, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.32. How do Twains novels on slavery differ from Stowes
43、?A. Twain was more willing to deal with racism.B. Twains attack on racism was much less open.C. Twains themes seemed to agree with plots.D. Twain was openly concerned with racism.33. Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its_.A. target readers at the bottomB. anti slav
44、ery attitudeC. rather impolite languageD. frequent use of “nigger”34. What best proves Twains anti slavery stand according to the author?A. Jims search for his family was described in detail.B. The slaves voice was first heard in American novels.C. Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white cu
45、lture.D. Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.35. The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that _ .A. slaves were forced to give up their babies to their mastersB. slaves babies could pickup slave holders way of speakingC. blacks social position was shaped by how they were

In reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies “fight or flight“ reaction. As a result, we f
