This sense of total discomfort that you’re both feeling is pretty normal. And I don’t say that to in any way reduce your problems. I just don’t want you to think that you’re the one person in the world who’s stuck with a neurotic (神经质的) mom. Think about it: for most of the past 14 years, you have depended on your mother for every little thing you’ve ever needed. Now suddenly you’re putting up all sorts of boundaries because you’re growing out of being that little kid who needed her for everything, and it’s hurting her feelings. What we need here is a little understanding and some new rules to take into account the changes you’re going through. You can’t just stop sharing things with your mom. It’s mean.

So why not make a point of telling her some things about what’s going on with you every day? She wants to feel that she’s still a part of your life. And after consistently doing this for about a month, why don’t you tell her where you’d like a little privacy(隐私) ― maybe there are certain things you don’t want her to always ask about? Promise her that whenever there’s an update on those topics, you will completely let her know. And follow up on it!

The bottom line is that you guys need to build a new relationship based on the young woman. The only way to do this is to work through some really uncomfortable moments and big fights and then come up with a solution, which is what you’re doing now. So don’t worry ― it’s all going to be okay. But it will take some work, honesty and communication to get there.

Having a good relationship with your mom is a really important thing. She’s the one person who will always be on your side.

 

49. In the writer’s opinion, the problems a guy may face are ______.

A. serious                    B. normal                     C. unlucky                   D. uncomfortable

50. The best way to reduce the problems with Mom may probably be ______.

A. to communicate with her                B. to let out your secrets to her

C. to break your bottom line                D. to work through bad times

51. The underlined part “bottom line” (in Paragraph 3) means ______.

A. the lowest ties with others               B. the most important thing

C. the least things you must do            D. the final line you treat things

52. The passage is written mainly ______.

A. to tell people how to get rid of a neurotic mom

B. to show us how to build a relationship between each other

C. to tell guys how to keep a good relationship with mothers

D. to tell guys how to reduce everyday problems with others

A lazy Susan is an addition to a table that is designed to assist in moving food from one person to another while dining. This is achieved through the use of a turntable (转盘), which usually moves the food in a circle when it is pushed by those at the table. In this way, the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place on the lazy Susan.
A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet (橱柜). In this sense, the lazy Susan is a type of shelving unit within the cabinet that is able to turn around its axis(轴心) . One may turn the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods in storage. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets that are located at a right angle (直角) to each another. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside.
It is believed that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan in the 18th century, though it was called “dumbwaiter” at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph (留声机). The turntable may have developed into the lazy Susan later.
Regardless of who invented it, it wasn’t until 1917 that the term “lazy Susan” was used in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term “dumbwaiter” is still used rather than “lazy Susan”. The reason for the naming of it is still a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jefferson’s or Edison’s daughter, both of whom were named Susan.

As you dash outdoors in the middle of winter, you might make it halfway down the block before realizing that your ears are freezing because you forgot your hat.

Now, scientists have shown that even though you’ve had an apparent memory lapse（丧失）, your brain never forgot what you should have done.

Memory works mainly by association. For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as you’re heading out of the door to buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the kitchen counter. Your brain knew where the keys were all along. It just took a round-about way to get there.

Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure out just how this complicated process works.

First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to remember arbitrary（任意的） pairs of symbols. The researchers showed the monkeys one symbol（cold weather） and then gave them the choice of two other symbols, one of which （a hat） would be associated with the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip of their favorite juice.

Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but one kept making mistakes.

“We wondered what happened in the brain when the monkey made the wrong choice, although it apparently learned the right pairing of symbols,” said study leader Thomas Albright.

Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve cells in the monkey’s inferior temporal cortex （ITC）, an area of its brain used for visual pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory.

As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose, about a quarter of the activity in the ITC was due to the choice behavior.

Meanwhile, more than half the activity was in a different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe represent the monkey’s memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued to work well even when the monkey chose the wrong symbol.

“In this sense, the cells ‘knew’ more than the monkeys let on in their behavior,” Albright said. “Thus, behavior may vary, but knowledge endures.”

3.The researchers believe the monkey that made the wrong choice ________.

A. had some trouble with its nerve system             B. failed to see the objects well

C. had the worst memory                 D. also knew the correct answer
