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 y 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 triggered as 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 ever 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.

1.Mirror neurons can explain         .

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

2.The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “  ’’

A．set off

B．cut off

C．built up

D．broken up

3.We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons  ________.

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

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A． Ways to find mirror neurons.

B．Problems of mirror neurons.

C．Existence of mirror neurons.

D． Functions of mirror neurons.

W: Sir, you’ve been using the online catalogue（目录）for

quite a (76) w______. Is there anything I can do to help you?

W: Your topic sounds pretty big. Why don’t you narrow it down to something like…uh… the history of the studios during that time?

M: You know, I was thinking about doing that, but more than 30 books came up when I (78) t_____ in “movie studios.”

W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific (79) y_____ you want. Try adding “1930s” or “1940s” or maybe “Golden Age.”

M: “Golden Age” is a good idea. Let me type that in. Hey, look, just 6 books this time. That’s a lot better.

W: Oh… another thing you might consider. Have you tried looking for any (80) m_______ or newspaper articles?

M: No, I’ve only been (81) s________ for books.

W: Well, you can look up magazine articles in the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature. And we do have the Los Angeles Times available over there. You might go (82) t________ their indexes (索引) to see if there’s (83) a_______ you want.

M: Okay, I think I’ll get (84) s_______ with these books and then I’ll go over the magazines.

W: If you need any (85) h_____, I’ll be over at the Reference Desk.

M: Great, thanks a lot. 

 

   We all know that DNA has the ability to identify individuals, but because it is inherited, there are also regions of the DNA strand which can relate an individual to his or her family(immediate and extended);tribal group and even an entire population. Molecular Genealogy(宗谱学)can use this unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family trees。Pedigrees（家谱）based on such genetic markers can mean a breakthrough for family trees where information is incomplete or missing due to adoption，illegitimacy（违法）or lack of record. There are many communities and populations which have lost precious records due to tragic events such as the fire in the Irish courts during Civil war in 1921 or American slaves for whom many records were never kept in the first place.

   The main objective of the Molecular Genealogy Research Group is to build a database containing over 100,000 DNA samples from individuals all over the world. These individuals will have provided a pedigree chart of at least four generations and a small blood sample. Once the database has enough samples to represent the world genetic make-up, it will eventually help in solving many issues，regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written records. Theoretically, any individual will someday be able to trace his or her family origins through this database.

   In the meantime, as the database is being created, molecular genealogy can already

Verify（鉴定）possible or suspected relationships between individuals。“For example，if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related，but no written record proves this relationship，we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of DNA from both and looking for common markers（in these case we can look primarily at the Y chromosome（染色体），”explain Ugo A. Perego, a member of the BYU Molecular Genealogy research team.

1) The possible research of family trees is based on the fact that _____________.

  A) genetics has achieved a breakthrough

  B) genetic information contained in DNA can be revealed now

  C) each individual carries a unique record of who he is and how he or related to others

  D) we can use DNA to prove how distant an individual is to a family, a group or a population

2) If two men suspected for some reason they have a common ancestor,__________.

  A) we can decide according to their family tree

  B) we can find the truth from their genetic markers

  C) we can compare the differences in their Y chromosome

  D) we can look for written records to prove their relationship

3) Which of the following CAN NOT be inferred from the passage?

  A) we are a walking, living, breathing record of our ancestors

  B) Many American slaves did not know who their ancestors were

  C) An adopted child generally lacks enough information to prove his identify

  D) Molecular genealogy can be used to prove a relationship between individual
