      For many people,  there is only one good reason to go to an amusement park: the roller coaster. But why do People go on roller coasters?

      "Where else in the world can you scream at the top of your lungs and throw your arms in the air?"  Frank Farley asks. "If you did that in most other places, they'd take you to your parents and probably put you through a psychological evaluation  (心理检查)."  Farley is a psychologist at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

      Roller coasters are often attractive to kids whose lives are stressful or controlled.  "Roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum (单调 ) of everyday life.  You can let it all go and scream and shout or do whatever you want," Farley says. It has been proved that many adults feel the same way.

      Compared with skateboarding, extreme mountain biking, and other adventure sports, riding roller coasters is safe. Parents usually don't mind when kids go on coasters.  Roller coasters also have a way of bringing people together.  Riders share the thrill and adventure of surviving what feels like an extreme experience.

      Whether you like to ride a roller coaster may depend on your personality.  Psychologists say that there is a certain type of person that naturally seeks out extreme experiences. "They enjoy things like change, variety, and intensity (强度)," says Farley. "These people are actually attracted to thrills."  He describes such people as having Type-T personalities ("T" stands for thrill).

     He also believes that these thrill seekers are more adventurous and creative than other people. Albert Einstein was a Type T. "If nobody liked to seek stimulation (刺激)," he argues, "the human race wouldn't be where it is today."

1. What is the passage mainly about?

    A. The disadvantages of roller coasters.

    B. The characteristics of roller coasters.

    C. Why many people enjoy roller coasters.

    D. How people act when riding roller coasters.

2. According to Farley, what will most people feel after riding a roller coaster?

    A. Scared.          B. Confident.    C. Nervous.       D. Relaxed.

3. If a person is a Type T, he seems to           .

    A. enjoy adventure sports

    B. dislike riding roller coasters

    C. like popular sports

    D. work well with others

4. According to Farley, to our society, people with Type-T personalities are __

    A. dangerous            B. important    C. useless               D. harmful

Many psychologists in the early twentieth century believed that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most people use only a small portion of the grey matter between their ears. It's a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries; magazines, advertisements and books over the past century.

         But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded. In fact, they question how this figure was ever arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded. The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would Still be able to function normally, while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in extremely serious physical injury different activities and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes.

         Throughout the course of one day, most .areas of the brain are active at some time, even during sleep. The 10 percent theory suggests that certain areas o' the brain are not used, but scans slow activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate part. The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they don't affect other essential areas.

         From an evolutionary point of view, it's highly unlikely butt our comparatively larger brains would have evolved from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence support the 1p percent theory.

3.Which of the following is true according to the writer?

   A. We use less than 10% of our brains.

   B. Most brain disorders affect the same part of the brain.

   C. The brain is less active during times of sleep.

   D. The 10 percent theory does not make evolutionary sense.

4.What can we infer from the passage?

   A. People today use more of their brain than in the past.

   B. Scientific opinion about the topic of brain use is equally divided.

   C. Our understanding of the brain has changed greatly in the past decades.
