(NEW YORK)---Scientists have discovered small signs of awareness in some vegetative(植物人的) brain injury patients and have even communicated with one of them---findings that are beneficial to how to assess and care for such people.
The new research suggests that standard tests may ignore patients who have some consciousness, and that someday some kind of communication may be possible.
In the strongest example, a 29-year-old patient was able to answer yes-or-no questions by picturing specific scenes the doctors asked him to imagine.
“We were stunned when this happened,” said one study author, Martin Monti of the Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge. “I find it really amazing. This was a patient who was believed to be vegetative for five years.”
Ever since a research paper four years ago described obvious signs of awareness in a vegetative patient, families of patients have been demanding brain scans, said Dr. James Bernat, a spokesman for the American Academy for Neurology.
But experts said more study is needed before the specialized brain scans could be used in medical treatment. “It’s still a research tool,” Bernat said.
Experts also pointed out that only a few tested patients showed evidence of awareness. And they said it is not clear what degree of consciousness and mental abilities the signs imply.
They also noted that the positive signals appeared only in people with traumatic(外伤的) brain injury---not in patients whose brains had been lacking in oxygen, as can happen when the heart stops.
The new study used brain scanning called functional MRI, for 23 patients in a vegetative state and 31 that are minimally(极微地) conscious.
Patients are said to be in a vegetative state if they are tested and found unable to do such things as move on command or follow a moving object with their eyes. Minimally conscious patients show signs of awareness, but they are minimal and discontinuous.
【小题1】 What is the practical use of the research?
A.It leads to studying how to cure vegetative patients. |
B.It attracts society to pay more attention to vegetative patients. |
C.It helps doctors know whether patients are vegetative or not. |
D.It drives the government to care about vegetative patients. |
A.Relaxed | B.Amazed | C.Excited | D.Worried |
A.his eyes can’t follow a moving thing | B.his brain only has a little oxygen |
C.he has a traumatic brain injury | D.his heart stops beating |
A.how to recognize a vegetative patient | B.the significance of a new scientific finding |
C.how family members look after a vegetative patient | |
D.the latest findings on awareness in some vegetative patients |

An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons, though at times boring and challenging in the eyes of some kids, improve children’s ability to learn or their performance in school . They say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.
Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there’s one thing musical training does not do. Samuel Mehr, the leading researcher of the new study, said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child’s intellectual development. The evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. One group attended music class; the comparison group went to a class that places importance on the optical arts-arts that can be seen.
“We found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music classes,” said Mehr.
Samuel Mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter. Only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in IQ, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons.
He does not believe that IQ is a good measure of a child’s intelligence. Therefore, the researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons.
Music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life, but the training is still important.
Mr Mehr notes that the works of writer William Shakespeare are not taught , so the children will do better in physics. He says Shakespeare is taught because it is important for cultural reasons.“And I don’t think music needs to be any different than that.”
1.What attitude do most American grown-ups have towards music lessons? _________
A. Uninterested B. Approving C. Doubtful D. Uncertain
2.The underlined word“optical”in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A. visual B. colorful C. traditional D. serious
3.According to Samuel Mehr, _________ .
A. many studies show that music training can improve IQ
B. IQ is a good measure of a child’s intelligence
C. music can enable a child to go to a better school
D. music should be taught for cultural reasons
4.The study shows that .
A. early music training has negative effects
B. musical lessons should be stopped at school
C. musical training doesn’t improve kids’ intelligence
D. playing musical instrument makes kids more creative
