1．Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn （打哈欠） and you start yawning too？Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself？Well，obviously it's because we have mirror neurons （神经元） in our brains．
Put simply，the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something，our brains model after 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 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 （行使职责）．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 about how humans behave，communicate and spend time together．Indeed，it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein's theory of relativity （相对论） was for physics．And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well，perhaps you'll understand why．

48．Mirror neurons can explainC．
A．why we cry when we are hurt
B．why we cough when we catch a cold
C．why we smile when we see someone else smile
D．why we yawn when we see someone else get up late

B．cut off
C．broken out
D．found out

A．relate to human behavior and communication
B．decide our knowledge and language abilities
C．result in bad behavior and social disorders
D．control human actions and appearances
51．What is the passage mainly about？D
A．Ways to find mirror neurons．

20．You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything．Fear is often associated with weakness．Fear is something to be avoided．
But that's not true，according to Time For Kids magazine．Fear can be good for us．
Fear tells us about danger．Without fear，we wouldn't know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff （悬崖）．
In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August，researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people，places，and activities．
Fear makes us jump，scream and sweat．But interestingly，sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose．Think about scary（可怕的） books and movies，and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride．
Margee Kerr，a US sociologist，explained why to Time For Kids．
Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances （化学物质），especially endorphins （内啡肽） and dopamine （多巴胺），and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us，according to Kerr．
In addition，when you're scared，your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with  each other．
"Watch people walking out of a haunted house，and you'll see lots of smiles and high fives，"Kerr told Time For Kids．That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit．
People experience and deal with fear in different ways．If you happen to be a"coward"who gets scared easily，don't worry．There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations．
Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance （忍耐力） to fear that makes us more confident．
"You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear，and so you're better able to work through it during tense situations，"said Kerr．
So learn to love your fear．It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be．

A．get closer to
