     A study published in September suggests there is a surprising way to get people to avoid unhealthy foods: change their memories. Scientist Elizabeth Loftus of the University of California at Irvine asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities (个性) and food experiences. “One week later,” Loftus says, “we told those people we'd fed their answers into our smart computer and it came up with an account of their early childhood experiences.” Some accounts included one key additional detail (细节): “You got sick after eating strawberry ice-cream.” The researchers then changed this detail into a manufactured (人为促生的) memory through leading questions—Who were you with? How did you feel? By the end of the study, up to 41% of those given a false memory believed strawberry ice-cream once made them sick, and many said they'd avoid eating it.

    When Loftus published her findings, she started getting calls from people begging her to make them remember hating chocolate or French fries. Unfortunately, it's not that easy. False memories appear to work only for foods you don't eat on a regular basis. But most important, it is likely that false memories can be implanted (灌输) only in people who are unaware of the mental control. And lying to a patient is immoral, even if a doctor believes it's for the patient's benefit.

    Loftus says there's nothing to stop parents from trying it with their overweight children. “I say, wake up—parents have been lying about Father Christmas for years, and nobody seems to mind. If they can prevent diseases caused by fatness and all the other problems that come with that, you might think that's a more moral lie. Decide that for yourself.”

72. Why did Loftus ask the volunteers to answer some questions?

    A. To improve her computer program.           B. To find out their attitudes towards food.

    C. To find out details she can make use of             D. To predict what food they'll like in the future.

73. What did Loftus find out from her research?

    A. People believe what the computer tells them.

    B. People can be led to believe in something false.

    C. People tend to forget their childhood experiences.

    D. People are not always aware of their personalities.

74. According to the study, people may stop having a certain food if they ________.

A. learn it is harmful for health                        

B. lie to themselves that they don't want it

    C. are willing to let doctors control their minds

    D. think they once had a bad experience of eating it

75. What is the biggest concern with the method?

    A. Whether it is moral.                                B. Who it is best for.

    C. When it is effective.                                D. How it should be used.

72---75    CBDA  


解析:

72.解析:这是一道细节推断题。Loftus教授“asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities and food experiences”,答题的目的是详细描述摄入食物的经验。

73.解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据:“it is likely that false memories can be implanted ”可知人们易于接受错误的信息并保持这一信息。

74.解析:这是一道细节题。从文中举的一个某次吃草莓冰淇淋导致不舒服就避免吃可以得到结论。

75.解析:这是一道判断题。由最后一句“you might think that’s a moral lie. Decide that for yourself ”可知。

Who has deprived the children's happiness of learning???  

Children are born with a natural desire of learning. They are curios and concerned about   36   around them. They are   37   to learn anything that amazes them. They have so many   38   that they keep on asking. They can bore the   39   all day long with many   40   questions which they will never feel bored with. Why? This is because learning is their   41    , perhaps an instinct of human beings. They just can't help. But   42    , they feel bored with learning, especially when learning becomes a boring   43    for them, especially after school has become a    44   of their life, especially when they have to   45    teachers who tell them again and again to   46    to recite and memorize things they don't want to learn, and especially   47    they realize school is not what they once    48    to be but something that, according to their parents, they must rely on in order to   49   a good fame or a good job or a good future. That is to say, learning has become a   50   , which they are forced or   51   to face. So it is the teachers and parents who have thrown the heavy   52   on the children.

Therefore, my   54   to the students’ learning is that they   55   enjoy learning, enjoy the pleasure that they could feel from learning itself. Find back the long lost desire and curiosity of learning in their childhood.
