Directions：In this section, you'll hear a mini－talk．Listen carefully and then fill in numbered blanks with the information you’ve got．Fill each blank with NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS．

You'll hear the mini－talk TWICE．

About friendship

Section B

We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed．” But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship．

Everyone has his own friendship and some have a lot of friends．But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality．Loyalty is the most important for friendship．No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them．

No matter whether you are married or not, no matter where you live and work, your friends are your friends．It is not based on bloodline．It relies on your intention．To you, some friends are fun－loving, some give encouragement, some offer knowledge, and others help you to find your own identity．Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate．In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person．So friendship can benefit．

    Computer keyboards can get dirty just like other 1_____ -touched items such as door knobs and money.
But beyond just looking dirty, a filthy (肮脏) keyboard might actually make you sick.
    A 2008 study showed that keyboards can be up to five times dirtier than the average toilet seat. How come?
Too often, people don't 2_____ to wash their hands after using the restroom or eating at their desks. In the
latter case, sticky fingers transfer sauces and crumbs (食物碎屑)onto and between the keys. Also, our fingers
rub skin oils onto the keys. Thus, a keyboard can become a 3_____ place for germs to grow.
    One common bug that researchers have found is staphylococcus aureus (金黄色葡萄球菌). It is a classic
cause of food 4_____, signs of which include nausea (恶心) and diarrhea (腹泻). Stomach sicknesses caused
by typing on a dirty keyboard have been dubbed "qwerty tummy" after the "Q-W-E-R-T-Y" keys on a
keyboard.
     The threat posed by a dirty keyboard is quite real, but it can be 5_____. The easiest way is to clean your
keyboard regularly. Office cleaning 6_____ say that keyboards should be unplugged, turned upside down and
shaken 7_____. By doing so, you can get rid of most of the crumbs. After that, wipe across the keys using a
soft cloth with a cleaning solution (清洁剂). Another way to solve the problem is using a silicon (硅胶)
keyboard cover. These thin covers are made to 8_____ over the keys. They prevent food from falling through
the cracks and dust from 9_____.

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. Ww w.ks 5u.c om

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. www.ks5u.com

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 fire 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.”

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

A．also knew the correct answer

B．had the worst memory

C．failed to see the objects well

D．had some trouble with its nerve system

60．The underlined word “endures” may be best replaced by __________.
