The Mysterious Brain
When you refer to your brain, you should probably say 'brains'.Most modern scien-tists studying the brain have con.eluded that there are three major parts of our brain,-that each is separate from the others, and that each has its own function and different proces-ses.
Brain 1 includes the spinal cord(髓脑), which sits directly on the top of the cord, and the middle section of the brain.It includes the controls for involuntary functions like breathing and digestion. Brain 2 is an area surrounding Brain 1.In this second brain are the various glands(腺)located in the brain, such as the pituitary(垂体)and amygdala(扁桃体). Scientists studying Brain 2 are convinced that human emotions such as excitement, fear, and love are centered here, as well as the senses of taste and smell.Memory and learning are also controlled by Brain 2.Brain 3 is the neo-cortex(新大脑皮层), the thick covering that surrounds the top and side portions of the brain.This is the 'gray matter' we often think of when we speak of the brain.Only the higher orders of animals have Brain 3, and none is as highly developed as the human neo-cortex.Brain 3 sends:informa-tion from the other two brains to the body and receives data from the body.It is Brain 3that makes us fully human.Brain 3 allows us to stand erect(直立), to see, to speak, to write, to use symbols and tools, and to remember.Brain 3 also acts as a unifying control of the other two brains.As scientists continue to study the brain, they discover specific
areas that control particular functions of the body and particular emotions.

46 .If there is one-which I take leave to doubt-then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves.Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings people just like their elders __47____:the young man has a glorious fu-ture before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him: and maybe that is where the rub is.When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain that I was a new boy in a huge school, 48 .For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.49 .They have an air of freedom, and they have not a dreary commitment to mean ambitions or love of comfort.They are not anxious social climbers, and they have no devo-tion to material things.All this seems to me to link them with life, and the origins of things.It's as if they were in some sense cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures.All that is in my mind when I meet a young person.He may be conceited, ill-mannered,presumptuous or fatuous, but I do not turn for protection to dreary cliches about respect for elders as if mere age were a reason for respect.I accept that we are equals, 50 .A.There is only one difference between an old man and a young oneB.People are always talking about 'the problem of youth'.C.and I will argue with him as an equal, if I think he is wrongD.and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem.E.I find young people excitingF.It is very enjoyable to teach young children第 46 题 请选择(46)处的最佳答案

Pesticides (杀虫剂)Where do pesticides(杀虫剂)fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil, water, and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless.Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of naturE.Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world?We know that even single exposures(暴露)to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning.But this is not the major problem.The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides are very sad and should not occur.For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our worlD.Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative(积累的)over long periods of time, and that the danger to the individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetimE.For these very reasons the danger is easily ignoreD.It is human nature to shake off(摆脱)what may seem to us a threat of future disaster.'Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs,' says a wise physician, Dr.Rene Dubos, 'yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticeD.'第 31 题 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence 'Man, is part of naturE.'(Line 3~4, ParA.1)?A.Man appears indifferent to what happens in naturE.B.Man acts as if he does not belong to naturE.C.Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution.D.Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental protection.
