When you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your own body, what you imagine (or rather, what you feel) is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer（模糊的） than the one you see. And if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size or shape.

When you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs and the natural resistance of the objects around you, the “felt” image of yourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the feelings they cause.

The image you create for yourself has rather strange proportions（部分）; certain parts feel much larger than they look. If you get a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous; you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror.

Although the “felt” image may not have the shape you see in the mirror, it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consistent(前后一致的) right and left and atop and bottom, it allows you to locate new feelings when they occur. It allows you to find your nose in the dark and point to a pain.

If the felt image is damaged for any reason—if it is cut in half or lost as it often is after certain strokes （中風(fēng)）which wipe out recognition of one entire side –these tasks become almost impossible. What is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one’s own visual appearance. If one half of the “felt” image is wiped out or injured, the patient stops recognizing the affected part of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of feelings on that side, and, although he feels the doctor’s touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side.

    D．The “felt” image is not so important as the mirror image.

3.If a man loses the ability to recognize his right side,            .

    A．he can’t locate the doctor’s touch on his left side

You are walking down the street, minding your own business when you see a snowball. No big deal, right? Except the snowball is as tall as you are. And weighs about a ton. Did we mention that it is June?

   That’s the experience thousand of Londoners had when they crossed paths with “ Snowball in Summer,” Goldsworthy makes sculpture （雕塑）from all sorts of things he finds outside – leaves, earth, and rocks, as well as ice and snow. He wanted to find out how busy people would react to an unexpected snowball melting in their midst.

   During the winter of 2008, he rolled 13 giant snowballs near his home in Scotland. He filled each one with a surprise in the center – such as berries, feathers, little stones or sheep’s wool – which would appear as the snow melted. The finished snowballs were stored in a deep freeze until summer, then transported to London in refrigerated trucks. At midnight on June 21, 2008, while the city slept, Goldsworthy and his helpers rolled their snowballs into place.

  People walking to work or school must have thought the sky was falling when they stumbled across snowballs the size of baby elephants. Some of them had never even seen snow in real life, and they couldn’t help touching them in great surprise. As the snow started to melt, things got even more interesting. The perfectly round snowballs took on different shapes as the stuff inside began to poke through. Two days later, most of Goldsworthy’s snowballs were gone, and their fillings scattered. But Londoners were left with a really good story about that odd summer day when the snowball came.

What is really special about the snowballs is that ______________________.

A. they lie in the street

B. they are in the shape of baby elephants.

C. they have berries, feathers, little stones and feathers in them.

D. they appear in June.

What was the purpose of Goldsworthy in making the snowballs?

A. To find out people’s reactions to them

B. To call up people’s memory of the cold winter.

C. To show off his skills in sculpture.

D. To let people experience the cold winter.

Why did Goldsworthy and his helpers roll their snowballs into place at mid-night?

A. They didn’t want to disturb other people.

B. It was quite at that time.

C. They wanted to avoid the traffic jam.

D, They wanted to give people a surprise.

Thinking

Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are conscious(有意識(shí)的)-we alone are aware that we are thinking.

No one knows how consciousness works –it is one of science’s last great mysteries.

All your thoughts take place in the cerebrum(大腦皮質(zhì)),which is at the top of your brain, and different kinds of thought are linked to different areas, areas, called association areas.

Each half of the cerebrum has four rounded ends called lobes(腦葉)-two at the front (frontal and temporal lobes)and two at the back (occipital and parietal lobes).

The frontal lobe is linked to your personality and it is where you have your bright ideas.

The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you.

The occipital lobe is where you work out what your eyes see.

The parietal lobe is where you record touch, heat and cold, and pain.

The left half of the brain controls the right side of the body. The right half controls the left side.

One half of the brain is always dominant (in charge).Usually, the left brain is dominant, which is why 90% of people are right-handed.

68.Which part of your cerebrum is most active when you are making a telephone call?

A. The frontal lobe.              B. The temporal lobe.    C. The occipital lobe.            D. The parietal lobe.

69.Which of the following statements is true?

A. One’s personality has something to do with the frontal lobe.

B. Bright ideas come from the parietal lobe.

C. The occipital and temperal lobes are at the back of the cerebrum.

D. The occipital lobe is in charge of sound.

70.From the passage, we know the reason why around 10% of people are left-handed is that _______.

A.their frontal lobe is usually dominant                    B.their temporal lobe is usually dominant

C.their right brain is usually dominant                      D.their left brain is usually dominant
