    You watch a sad film and get caught up in your emotions.You cry your eyes out at the dramatic plot —you feel sad for the characters if they suffer,or happy for them when they are successful.It is only when the movie is over that you realize that what you were watching is not real.
    But why couldn't you accept that when you were so absorbed in the movie?It was reported in Science Daily this week that scientists at Case Western Reserve University,US,discovered that people simply cannot think emotionally and logically at the same time.
    It has long been known that something different goes on in our brain when we use logic,rather than responding to something emotionally.Thinking logically is a step-by-step process,in which people make decisions through reasoning and find answers rationally.When we think emotionally or empathize (有同感) we look at things from someone else's point of view and try to feel their pain.
    Now scientists have found that thinking logically and emotionally are like the two ends of a seesaw (蹺蹺板)— when we're busy empathizing,the part of the brain used for cold-hard analysis is suppressed (抑制).And it's also true the other way round.
    To come to this conclusion,scientists gathered 45 people — men and women — to take brain scans as they solved different kinds of puzzles.Some of the puzzles were tough and involved math and physics and others were social problems that required participants to put themselves in other people's shoes.
    Scientists found that when participants were doing a math problem,the region in their brain that is associated with logical thinking lit up,and when asked to make emotional decisions,the region for emotional thinking lit up.But the most interesting part is that when asked to solve problems that required both logical and emotional responses,the participants always used one of the regions at a time while the other one went dark.
    "Empathetic and analytic thinking are...mutually (相互之間地) exclusive (排斥的)in the brain," said Anthony Jack,leader of the study. "You don't have to favor one,but cycle efficiently between them,and employ the right network at the right time."
    However,people sometimes ended up using the wrong one.This explains why some people are good at solving complex math problems but have poor social skills.And why even the smartest people get taken in by fake but touching stories.

  • 2.When it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes,which should come first-changing your diet or becoming more physically active?
       Previous studies suggested that providing people with too much information about nutrition and physical activity at once tends to be discouraging.That has led to the popularity of advising people to make changes gradually,and set smaller goals.
       So the scientists divided 200 inactive participants who were age 45 or older into four groups.One group was instructed about making diet and fitness changes at the same time,the second group was taught about diet changes first,then fitness changes four months later,the third group changed their exercise habits first and made changes in their eating habits four months later,and the final,control group was not instructed about either diet or fitness changes but about how to manage their stress.
       The researchers tracked the groups for a full year.Compared to the control group,the three intervention(干預(yù))groups made healthy changes in their diet.Those who changed their fitness habits first significantly increased the amount of exercise they received daily compared to the other groups after four months.However,at the end of the year,the group that changed both diet and exercise at the same time was the only one that met the nationally recommended targets for both exercise and nutrition levels,while those who worked on improving their nutrition first were unable to meet the recommended levels of fitness after a year.The researchers suspect that changes to diet are easier to make than changes to physical activity.
       The findings show,however,that pairing diet and exercise changes may help to overcome some of the barriers people face in adding more physical activity into their lives.If folks change diet and exercise orderly,the scientists say,they may end up placing more importance on the first set of behavior changes and feel less pressured to address the second set.

    (1)The advice mentioned in the second paragraph seemed
    .
    A.popular
    B.dangerous
    C.scientific
    D.unsatisfactory
    (2)Which group made progress earlier than other groups in increasing the amount of daily exercise?

    A.The first group.
    B.The second group.
    C.The third group.
    D.The control group.
    (3)The reason why those improving their nutrition first failed to meet the levels of fitness after a year might be that
    .
    A.they might be very lazy
    B.they wouldn't like to change their behavior
    C.it is much harder to change physical activity
    D.they might put on weight before changing their physical activity
    (4)Which of the following does the author probably approve of?

    A.Pairing diet and exercise changes.
    B.Becoming more physically active first.
    C.Changing diet and exercise following a fixed order.
    D.Changing diet first and placing more importance on it.

  • 3.Shawn Seipler is on the way to saving lives with soap.It began about seven years ago as a tiny business with a few friends and family in a single car garage in Florida,where they recycled used soap into fresh bars.The organization,now called Clean the World,has grown to include cities where hotels are plentiful and used bars of soap can be gathered easily.
       As a frequent traveler while working for a tech company,Seiler had a sudden thought one night at a hotel."I picked up the phone and called the front desk and asked them what happened to the bar of soap when I was done using it." he recalled.Learning that they would go to the dustbin,he began his task to help save lives with soap and even half-used bottles of shampoo.It's a huge problem.One of the most common kinds of illnesses in the world are those that are passed from person to person and to oneself because of dirty things that are on one's hands.
       In the U.S.and other developed nations,hygiene(衛(wèi)生)products are everywhere.Not so in some other countries,where Seipler recalled visiting a hospital once in the Middle East to find that soap was in such short supply that patients had to provide their own. "It's such an important part of the interruption of infectious germs that could save so many lives," he said.
       Clean the World now collects used soap from more than 4,000 hotels and has delivered 25 million bars to 99 countries.The process is fairly simple with the collected soap being cut into pieces and then run through machines that remove any remaining bacteria before being pressed into new bars of soap and packaged for delivery.

    (1)Shawn Seipler got the idea of collecting seconding soap
    .
    A.by chance
    B.from the front desk
    C.a(chǎn)fter calling his friend
    D.a(chǎn)fter visiting the Middle East
    (2)How do hotels deal with used soap traditionally?

    A.They sell it.
    B.They save it.
    C.They drop it.
    D.They recycle it.
    (3)What can be learned from Paragraph 3?

    A.Soap isn't fully appreciated.
    B.Soap can prevent many illnesses.
    C.Soap is needed in developed countries.
    D.Soap means little to developing countries.
    (4)Which of the following can best describe Shawn Seiler?

    A.Determined and optimistic.
    B.Friendly and open-minded.
    C.Warm-hearted and creative.
