18．Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too？Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself？Well，apparently it's because we have mirror neurons （神经元）in our brains．
       Put simply，the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something，our brains imitate （模仿）it，whether or not we actually perform the same action．This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile，talk，walk，dance or play sports．But the idea goes further：mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people．
       Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel．Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language．A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to （for example："The hand took hold of the ball"），the same mirror neurons were triggeredas when the action was actually performed （in this example，actually taking hold of a ball）．
       Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior．Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning．However，it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders．
       Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information concerning how humans behave and interact （互动）．Indeed，it may turn out to be the equivalent （相等物）for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics．And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well，perhaps you'll understand why．
72．Mirror neurons can explainC．
A．why we cry when we are hurt                  
B．why we cough when we suffer from a cold
C．why we smile when we see someone else smile 
D．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late

A．relate to human behavior and interaction      
B．control human physical actions and feelings
C．result in bad behavior and social disorders           
D．determine our knowledge and language abilities
75．What is the passage mainly about？D
A．Ways to find mirror neurons．

19．I have been sobusy with （忙于）work that I haven't had time for social activities．
16．What would happen if there were noatmosphere（大气层）•
3．Faces，like fingerprints，are unique．Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people？Even a skilled writer probably couldn't describe all the features that make one face different from another．Yet a very young child-or even an animal，such as a pigeon can learn to recognize faces．We all take this ability for granted．
We also tell people apart by how they behave．When we talk about someone's personality，we mean the ways in which he or she acts，speaks，thinks and feels that make that individual different from others．
Like the human face，human personality is very complex．But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face．If you were asked to describe what a"nice face"looked like，you probably would have a difficult time doing so．But if you were asked to describe a"nice person"，you might begin to think about someone who was kind，moderate，friendly，warm and so on．
There are many words to describe how a person thinks，feels and acts．Gordon Allport，an American psychologist，found nearly 18，000English words characterizing differences in people's behavior．And many of us use this information as a basis for describing，or typing，his personality．Bookworms，conservatives，military types-people are described with such terms．
People have always tried to"type"each other．Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain's or the hero's role．In fact，the words"person"and"personality"come from the Latin persona，meaning"mask"．Today，most television and movie actors do not wear masks．But we can easily tell the"good guys"from the"bad guys"because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions．
54．By using the example of fingerprints，the author tells us thatD．
A．people can learn to recognize faces
B．people have different personalities
C．people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints

A．telling people apart by how they behave

17．Can you imagine a world without chocolate？It's not something I'd 1ike to do．so I was relieved to read that there's a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!
The University of Reading，in England，has just opened a new clearing house for all the world's new cocoa varieties．They must be quarantined（隔离检疫）before they can be grown．Why？Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4million tons last year but about 30%of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases．Now we don't want that，do we？
Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem．
The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985，after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew，London．And it has improved its facilities．The leader of the institution's cocoa project，Professor Paul Hadley，says，"One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean，healthy，interesting cocoa material．"
The cocoa centre has a collection of 400plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of  energy to keep them in tropical conditions．After up to two years in quarantine，clean and safe  seeds are sent to some 20countries，including several in West Africa．That's where 75%of the  cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from．The crop is extremely important for the local  economy：it employs about two million people．
Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection．And more of us seem to count on them now．
The scientist says，"there is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing  constantly，particularly in countries like China，where the standard of living is increasing and  people are getting a taste for different chocolates．"

24．What is the text mainly about？A
A．Safeguarding cocoa seeds．
B．Planting cocoa worldwide．
C．Keeping cocoa in greenhouse．
D．Finding the new market for cocoa．
25．The institution's cocoa project is toC．
A．have cocoa skin removed    
B．offer more jobs to people
C．ensure the quality of cocoa 
D．supply cocoa for two million people
26．What does the last paragraph tell us？B
A．The taste of chocolates is changing．
B．Demand for cocoa is increasing fast．
C．People are concerned about cocoa varieties．
D．Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates．
27．What's the purpose of the text？D
A．To educate．  B．To advertise．  C．To warn．  D．To inform．
18．Before driving into the city，you are required to get your carwashed（wash）．
