　　　　2　　

　　Research suggests that people who take Vitamin C supplements of over 5000 milligrams a day are more likely to develop cancer．This shows how much damage these health supplements do to people's health．A spokesman for the health supplement industry has argued that other research shows that Vitamin C supplements help prevent heart disease, but we can dismiss this evidence as it is from a biased source．

　　As infants, we can recognize our mothers within hours of birth．In fact, we can recognize the 　　1　　 of our mother's face well before we can recognize her body shape．It's 　　2　　 how the brain can carry out such a function at such a young age, especially since we don't learn to walk and talk until we are over a year old．By the time we are adults, we have the ability to distinguish around 100, 000 faces．How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to 　　3　　 such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood, but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and processes 　　4　　 for facial recognition．

　　Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in 　　5　　 a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area(FFA), which is used only for facial recognition．This means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars, is from 　　6　　 in the brain．Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place．It had been 　　7　　 thought that we only needed to see certain facial features．Meanwhile, research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process, but 　　8　　 involves three steps．The first step appears to be an analysis of the physical features of a person's face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries．In the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us．And finally, the brain furnishes the information we have collected about the person whose face we are looking at．This complex 　　9　　 is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations．(324 words)

下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句(第1～2题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出适合各段落的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A．Time can run out．

B．Tomorrow won't be better．

C．Ideas need lime to develop．

D．Your professor will be impatient．

E．You blow off your chances for help．

F．You're probably overestimating(高估)the pain．

　　Want to put off studying for the physics test? Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology? Sure you do? And who wouldn't? But it's still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time．Here's why…

1．________．The task will be still the same．It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it．As the deadline gets closer and closer, the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven't started the work．And the stress increases．Now not only do you have to write that paper, you have to do it under great pressure．

2．________．Before you start, it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished．But you know what? You're probably miscalculating．Get started－maybe on a small piece－and you'll discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought．Result? You won't experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to．Things are guaranteed－100 percent－to get better．

3．________．If you leave your work until the night before it's due, you give up

the possibility of getting input from your professor．Professors regularly give advice －or at least a few useful tips－during office hours．Unfortunately v though, they don't usually hold office hours at midnight, so you'll be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade．

4．________．Ever wonder why the professor assigns the paper two weeks before it's due? It's because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue, or doing the research, for two weeks．No, not every waking moment, but at least some of the time．After all, the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking．Most college papers require you to have some kind of idea, then to spend some time thinking about it, revising it, and polishing it．When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute, your ideas are half-baked．And your professor will know it．

5．________．If you put things off till the last minute 9 you might find that you haven't budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks．It's the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it'll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise－like illness, family problems, computer breakdowns, trouble at work, and all the other things－as you're thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test．If you keep delaying, you don't allow yourself time for those various Life events that have an adverse(不利的)effect on your ability to complete your assignment．
