Our brains work in complex and strange ways. There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two. Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write.

Dr. J. Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887. He called these people idiot savants. An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental injury, such as in autism (自闭症) or retardation. At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people. The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory. One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr. Benjamin Rush, an American doctor. His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in 1724. It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds. Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write.

Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s. Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5,000 musical pieces beautifully.

In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly.

Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment. Yet not all brain injury leads to savant skills. Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills. However few people wish to participate in such experiments. There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on one’s brain. The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate. Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots.

1.The first paragraph is presented by ________.

A. stating the background of the text

B. making a definition of “idiot savant”

C. giving examples to lead in the topic

D. making comparison to show our brains work

2.According to the text, which of the following statements is true?

A. The concept “idiot savant” was first out forward by Dr. Rush.

B. Thomas Fuller who could calculate quickly is poor in art.

C. The idiot savant played by Dustin Hoffman is good at calculation.

D. Tom Cruise has the ability to perform rapid complex calculations.

3.From the last paragraph, we know that ________.

A. brain impairment is a kind of incurable disease

B. the idiot savant may result from the purposeful interruption of the brain

C. experiments on one’s brain are harmful

D. idiot savants are actually very clever in certain fields

4.The text mainly talks about ________.

A. the understanding of idiot savants

B. mental impairment in our work

C. the way that our brains work

D. how to be an idiot savant

An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 68 inches tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.

“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”

But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.

But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation(立法) can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death.”

However, the efforts to regulate models’ weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.

Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”

1. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is ________.

A. to change the working conditions of models

B. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders

C. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness

D. to lower the chance of skinny models’ death

2.In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because .

A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit.

B. the fashion industry is much too influential.

C. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models.

D. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well.

3. What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?

A. Being interviewed by a reporter.
