1．You watch a sad film and get caught up in your emotions．You cry your eyes out at the dramatic plot-you feel sad for the characters if they suffer，or happy for them when they are successful．It is only when the movie is over that you realize that what you were watching is not real．
But why couldn't you accept that when you were so absorbed in the movie？It was reported in Science Daily this week that scientists at Case Western Reserve University，US，discovered that people simply cannot think emotionally and logically at the same time．
It has long been known that something different goes on in our brain when we use logic，rather than responding to something emotionally．Thinking logically is a step-by-step process，in which people make decisions through reasoning and find answers rationally．When we think emotionally，or empathize （有同感），we look at things from someone else's point of view and try to feel their pain．
Now scientists have found that thinking logically and emotionally are like the two ends of a seesaw （跷跷板）-when we're busy empathizing，the part of the brain used for cold，hard analysis is  suppressed．And it's also true the other way round．
To come to this conclusion，scientists gathered 45people-men and women-to take brain scans as they solved different kinds of puzzles．Some of the puzzles were tough and involved math and physics and others were social problems that required participants to put themselves in other people's shoes．
Scientists found that when participants were doing a math problem，the region in their brain that is associated with logical thinking lit up，and when asked to make emotional decisions，the region for emotional thinking lit up．But the most interesting part is that when asked to solve problems that required both logical and emotional responses，the participants always used one of the regions at a time while the other one went dark．
"Empathetic and analytic thinking are…mutually （相互之间地） exclusive （排斥的） in the brain，"said Anthony Jack，leader of the study．"You don't have to favor one，but cycle efficiently between them，and employ the right network at the right time．"
However，people sometimes ended up using the wrong one．This explains why some people are good at solving complex math problems but have poor social skills．And why even the smartest people get taken in by fake but touching stories．
41．Why does the author mention watching movies at the beginning of the passage B？
A．To show that we are easily moved by things that are not real．
B．To show that sometimes we only use emotional thinking．
C．To introduce the research based on this kind of experiences．
D．To prove emotional thinking is powerful．
42．Scientists at Case Western Reserve University，US，proved C through their recent tests．
A．logical thinking works differently from emotional thinking
B．logical thinking is much more efficient than emotional thinking
C．logical thinking and emotional thinking take turns to function independently

43．The underlined word"suppressed"in Paragraph 4means C．
A．starting to react actively
B．being completely damaged
C．to prevent something from working effectively
D．obtaining an opposite function
44．We can conclude from the last two paragraphs that B．
A．people have to frequently switch between different types of thinking
B．adopting the wrong thinking mode could have bad results
C．people could only either have excellent logical thinking or emotional thinking
D．people who think logically could easily be controlled
45．What could be the best title for the passage　A？
A．Your Heart vs Your Mind                   B．Your Emotions
C．Logical Thinking           D．Movies and Feelings．

2．I was in a rush as always，but this time it was for an important date I just couldn't be late for!I found myself at a checkout couter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries．A PhD student with not a lot of money，I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers．I was in a huge rush，thinking of my upcoming evening．I did not want to be late for this date．
We were in Boston，a place not always known for small conversation between strangers．The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me．She smiled．It was a nice smile---warm and reassuring----and I returned her gift by smiling back．
"Must be a special lady，whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers，"she said．
"Yes，she's special，"I said，and then to my embarrassment，the words kept coming out．
"It's only our second date，but somehow I am just having the feeling she's‘the one'．Jokingly，I added，"The only problem is that I can't figure out why she'd want to date a guy like me．"
"Well，I think she's very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her，"the woman said．""My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even when times were tough and we didn't have much money．Those were incredible（难以置信的） days； he was very romantic and-of course-I miss him since he's passed away．"
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries．There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her．I touched her on the shoulder and said，"You were right，you know．These flowers are indeed for a very special lady．"I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation．
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bught．"You have a wonderful evening，"I said．I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers．
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story．A couple of years later，when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me，she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her-that was the night that I won her heart．
