13．| 24hours in western Sydney：what to do，where to go On a recent weekend，my boyfriend and I decided to explore the area for the first time． Friday 6p．m．-Check in at Atura Blacktown hotel After an easy 40-minute train trip from Central Station to Blacktown （about 5one way with the Opal smartcard），we catch a taxi （about 20）to western Sydney's newest hotel，the Atura Blacktown．It's a sleek but welcoming hotel with an open-plan lobby that incorporates an inhouse restaurant and a comfortable lounge area．Upstairs，we quickly warm to our modern guestroom，which features reliable，free WiFi，free movies on a large wall-mounted TV，and in the bathroom Malin+Goetz toiletries （洗漱用品）．It's good value at about 160for a king room． 8p．m．-Dinner and a drive-in movie The hotel's Roadhouse Bar and Grill has an upscale menu （mains 25-40per person） but a casual atmosphere，with an open kitchen and families seated at several tables．We've been told not to fill up on dinner so we reluctantly leave our tender scotch fillet and expertly pan-fried barramundi unfinished．At the reception，we pick up keys to the hotel's white Cadillac，which is parked out front，and drive around the corner to the"Skyline Drive-In （ 20for one car with two passengers）． Saturday 9a．m．-Feasting in Bonnyrigg Everywhere we go，there is food．At the temple，we watch a famous Laotion chef prepare pawpaw salad，while at the mosque we are offered feather-light fairy floss．Later，in a low-ceilinged Asian grocer，we are fed sublime rice-paper rolls by a proprietor who speaks five languages．Those who dismiss ordinary Australians as conservative and intolerant have clearly not visited Bonnyrigg． 6p．m．-People-watching at The Emporium In Parramatta，the venue （场所） of the moment is The Emporium，a 150-seat exposed-brick space with a mod-Oz menu which leans Mediterranean．Unlike many of the more casual places we visit over the weekend，The Emporium has a decidedly grown-up atmosphere，full of well-dressed couples and smart wait staff．Dishes like a delicate stew of Moreton Bay bugs （ 36）and truffle-stuffed chicken breast （also 36）are delicious．Don't expect to get a table on Saturday night unless you book ahead． |
A.216．
B.226．
C.332．

8．For most people today，their GPS （Global Positioning System） has become a lifeline，giving directions to the nearest bathroom or restaurant．But the（51）A we pay for the convenience could be our sense of（52）B．
"I do think GPS devices cause our navigational skills to atrophy （萎缩），"said Nora Newcombe，a psychologist at Temple University in the US who studies how the human brain（53）D．"The problem is that you don't see an overview （概貌） of the area and where you are in relation to other things．"
To understand the risk，you first need to （54）C how our brain keeps us from getting lost．Through experiments，researchers have found that our navigational strategies usually fall into two groups．
The first involves a spatial （空间的） map inside your brain．As you（55）A an area，you think about how the streets fit together and the best way to get between different locations．（56）B，the map lets you navigate between any two points in the area．
The second involves a series of landmarks and steps：Turn right at the gas station，and your school is on the left．It's quick and reliable，（57）C less flexible-it doesn't help you get from your school to a totally new place，even if it's nearby．
These two methods might not sound all that different，but according to Newcombe's research，people who are bad at navigation have trouble with the first strategy-creating spatial maps．（58）D，through further studies Newcombe has come to believe that people's ability to create spatial maps is decided by how（59）A we use the skill．
That helps（60）C what happens when people trust themselves with GPS devices．According to Veronique Bohbot of McGill University，people using navigation based on direction show more activity in their caudate nucleus （尾状核）-the part of the brain that is good at following directions-but less activity in the hippocampus （海马体），which creates the spatial maps．
It turns out that our sense of direction isn't the only thing we could lose．
One thing that could go is our（61）B to the environment we travel through．Researchers have found that when people（62）A GPS directions while driving，their memory of their trip is of a route on a（63）D，rather than the landscape they traveled through．
