21、For something that weighs only about three pounds, the human brain has a lot of responsibility. Deep within all those gray folds and creases are the controls for everything you do.
More than a century ago, scientists first mapped the brain as they worked to develop an understanding of each particular region. Early on, the maps were simple: Which part of the brain controlled speech? Which controlled hearing? Having a detailed, accurate guide ensures that studies are using the same points of reference and makes for more efficient, accurate investigations.
Now, however, things are much more intricate. Researchers have just released an incredible new map of the brain, revealing nearly 100 new areas that were previously undiscovered or forgotten. Many experts are calling this a milestone in neuroscience according to the New York Times. The new map has been published in the journal Nature.
The new map draws on data collected by the Human Connectome Project, which studied 1,200 people using high-powered MRI scanners to understand how brain circuitry works. For the study, the participants’ brains were recorded while they laid in the scanner, while they did various math problems and memory tests, and while they listened to stories. Researchers drew boundaries based on where these and previous tests seemed to match. They also looked at anatomical differences, measuring, for example, the amount of myelin— a fatty substance that surrounds some neurons— in different areas of the brain.
“We have 112 different types of information we can tap into,” study co-author David Van Essen of Washington University Medical School told the New York Times.
With all those variables in hand, researchers eventually created a map that included 83 already familiar areas of the brain, plus an additional 97 regions that were either previously undiscovered, or somehow forgotten and lost in scientific literature along the way. Some previously known regions are how broken down into sub-regions with separate responsibilities. For example, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is a large area toward the front of the brain that’s active during thought. The new map shows that it’s made up of many smaller areas that can be key for different kinds of thought, ranging from making decisions to lying.
While experts are lauding the new map, it’s far from complete, say the researchers who created it.
“We’re thinking of this as version 1.0”, says lead author Matthew Glasser, a neuroscientist at Washington University School of Medicine.” That doesn’t mean it’s the final version, but it’s a far better map than the ones we’ve had before.”
【1】In the third paragraph, what does the word “intricate” mean?
A．amazing
B．tricky
C．complicated
D．difficult
【2】What’s the researchers’ attitude to new map of the brain?
A．They think it is still incomplete.
B．They think it is the best version.
C．They don’t like the new map of the brain.
D．They think it is a milestone in neuroscience.
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The new map included 97 unfamiliar areas of the brain.
B．The new map used previous data to study the brain circuitry.
C．Participants1 brains were monitored when they were telling stories.
D．The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is a small ares which is crucial for thinking.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The responsibility of the brain circuitry.
B．Mixed opinions on the new map of the brain.
C．A study on an incredible new map of the brain.
D．The understanding of the familiar areas of the brain.

Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese, Italy on March 6,1475.He was still young when his family moved to Florence where Michelangelo grew up. His mother died when he was only six years old. Growing up in Florence during the Italian Renaissance was the perfect stage of young Michelangelo's life. Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist.
At the age of thirteen, he went to learn from Domenico Ghirlandaio, who was not only a painter but also an artist. Michelangelo's talents became apparent as he worked for Domenico. Within a year or so Domenico sent him to the powerful Medici family to continue his training under the sculptor (雕刻家) Bertoldo di Geovanni. Michelangelo was able to work with some of the finest artists and philosophers of the time. During the next few years, Michelangelo produced many famous sculptures including Madonna of the Steps, Battle of the Centaurs and Bacchus.
In 1496 Michelangelo moved to Rome. A year later he was asked to make a sculpture called the Pieta. It would become one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art. Today this sculpture sits in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It is the only piece of art that Michelangelo signed.
Michelangelo's fame (名声) as a great artist began to grow. He returned to Florence and was asked to create a large statue of David. It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue. The piece of marble (大理石) he began with was very tall and thin. Many people didn't think he could do much with it. He worked without letting anyone see it until it was finished. David became Michelangelo's most famous work of art. It is thirteen feet tall and is the largest statue made since Ancient Rome. It is considered by many experts in art to be a nearly perfect sculpture. Today the statue sits at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy.
【1】What can we learn about Michelangelo as a young child?
A．He lived a very hard life.

A．Michelangelo had lost his interest in painting
B．Domenico didn't think Michelangelo had a gift for painting
C．Bertoldo di Geovanni offered to show Michelangelo sculptures
D．Domenico wanted Michelangelo to make better use of his gift there
【3】What sculpture by Michelangelo will you see in St.Peter's Basilica?
A．Bacchus. B．The Pieta.
C．Madonna of the Steps. D．Battle of the Centaurs.
【4】When Michelangelo began his work on creating a large statue of David，many people________.

23、 A couple were shocked after a thief who stole their wedding rings 15 years ago returned them, long with an apology litter. The four gold rings disappeared from the Riphagen family's home when their 16-year-old daughter, Margot, threw a house party in 1998. But they have now been reunited with the belongings after the kid stole them.
The mystery thief tracked down the couple through their daughter, who lives in Portland; Oregon, and posted the rings back with the touching letter. A hand-written note made its way to Mr and Mrs Riphagen. “I am writing you to apologize for being in possession of something I am sure you truly value and miss,” the person wrote before explaining that he or she took the rings from the family's home many years ago. “I recently found these rings while cleaning and I wanted to make sure to return then as Tm sure they were missed dearly,” the thief went on. “I hope you are the right Riphagen family.”
The rings that were stolen included the mother's wedding ting and a ring Mr. Ripbagen gave his wife when their first child was born. The thief also made off with one set of grandparents' wedding bands that had been intended for the children. The person went on the letter. “Again, I am truly sorry for any pain; heartache that my actions may have caused your family. I hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive me.”
The family was thrilled to have the rings back, even after such a long time. They don't really care who sent it, certainly don't want to seek out who did it, and are just grateful to have these things back.

24、Most people can admit that they’ve found themselves at one point or another feeling like they are not themselves. They may feel trapped in a cycle that they don’t like. 【1】
Getting stuck in a rut (刻板乏味的生活) means you’re not sure how to go forward or backward. If you think this sounds like you, then you’re not alone. The great news is that you can turn things around and get yourself back up in no time. Take a look at the following tips.
Make a Change
The first step to getting out of the situation is to identify what it is about the circumstances that are getting you down. 【2】. In that case, you should move somewhere else. In other cases, you may hate your job. Rather than simply accepting it as your fate, start looking for new jobs. The idea is to start taking action instead of just being a spectator of your life.
Accept Things as They Are
Once you start taking action to change the situation, then it becomes much easier to accept things as they are. Acceptance doesn’t mean you accept that things never change. 【3】. Stop allowing yourself to live in denial (拒不承认). Things will be much easier to improve if you acknowledge things as they truly are. You’re in a rut, and that’s perfectly okay!
Treat Your Body Well
All too often, people don’t realize the connection between mind and body. If you’re feeling less than being stellar (精彩的；杰出的) in your mind, then it may have something to do with how you’re treating your body. 【4】. You may achieve it by doing things like eating well or engaging in more exercise. Treat your body well, and your mind will follow.
【5】
Don’t forget the importance of allowing yourself some breathing room and a break once in a while. Practice self-care by doing things like spending time with friends or getting your hair done. The idea is refreshing yourself so that you don’t burn out. Pushing yourself too hard will only worsen your rut. Recharge your battery by remembering to refresh yourself.
A．Practice Self-Care
B．Push Yourself Hard
C．Perhaps it’s where you live
D．Most people refer to this as a rut
E．Your body may tell you what to do
