At the same time, a woman e nters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Shealso gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for herhusband’s niece. And that is the difference between the female and male brainssimply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men d o one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. Arecent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections onone side of the brain, or hemisphere. In the female brain, theyfound more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the“creative”side.Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something complicated they might usedifferent parts of the brain. But men generally use just one.As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strongconnection between the “understanding”and the “action”parts of their brains. Women, h owever, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with “reason” and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Womentake a less direct path to find a solution.Thanks for your listening. I’m your announcer Anna Matteo.【文章大意】本文是一篇科普类文章, 讲述了男女大脑的构造不同。

第一部分必修二Module 2Ⅰ.阅读理解导学号02280198Amanda took whatever pills she could get, largely because she was finding life hard to take. “There were a lot of problems，” she says. She had just found out that her parents were splitting (分开). It took her by surprise—and she was shocked. “I woke up one morning, and they told me. ”On a few occasions during her two years of going to pharming parties(品药聚会). “My heart would race so fast that it felt like it was going to explode. I felt weak and confused sometimes and even passed_out several times，” she recalls. “But I picked up from the ground because I had a lot of pride in my drinking and drugging. I was really crazy about it and proud of the fact that I could take more than a lot of people. I could e home and have a conversation with my parents.”Finally, though, things got out of control. “I couldn't go a day without taking something，”she recalls, “and after a while, the pills upset my stomach；it hurt all the time, and I hardly ate. Finally, I couldn't take it any more. I went to my parents and told them I needed help.”Amanda entered a treatment program and has been calm since her release last January. “Detox(戒瘾)was the worst four days of my entire life，”she says.“I was throwing up all the food and had the s hakes.”She doesn't care about drugs. “I'm so hurt from this，” says Amanda，who has ulcers(溃疡)and damaged kidneys from the drugs and alcohol. “I have to struggle daily to stay calm. But in some ways，I feel lucky I went through it, and I'm out of it now.” Amanda wrote a song called “Goodnight to the Moonlight”. Amanda says，“It's about how it feels to be taking drugs and alcohol, how it hurts, how it makes you feel like you're losing yourself.”1. What is the purpose of writing the passage?A．To tell us that parents have a great influence on their children.B．To warn us that drugs are a danger to our health and mind.C．To tell us once you pick up bad habits，it is hard to get rid of.D．To tell us that as long as you are determined，you will overe any difficulty.答案：D主旨大意题。

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·合肥调研性检测)The effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty. Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as it’s harmful to health, while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson’s disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California, San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harm of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school student stated, “Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot”robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns.

The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost￡1, 000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned(承担)the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to￡260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my‘Talk to the Hand’project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim. ”Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “There’s a pressing need for all of us to l ook at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away. ”【文章大意】本文主要介绍了一种利用废弃的东西制成的新型的手套, 这种手套可以用来打电话。
