Brain-training software may be a waste of time. People who played"mind- boosting" games made the same modest cognitive gains as those who spent a similar amount of time surfing the web. " It didn't really make any difference what people did." says Adrian Owen of the Medical Research Council Cognition. who tested brain-training software on volunteers recruited through a BBC television program.Owen and his colleagues asked 11.000 volunteers to take tests to measure their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial(空间的)memory. Participants then spent six weeks playing on one of two computer programs. or just surfing the web for pleasure. In one program. Which imitates commercial brain-training software, the volunteers solved simple mathematics problems and puzzles that tested their memories. The other was designed specifically to booste cognitive abilities such as reasoning and planning.After six weeks. The participants underwent a second round of cognitive tests. Both groups who played the games made modest improvements, yet so did the web surfers. Skills learned via the programs didn't transfer to the cognitive tests. even when they relied on similar abilities, says Owen. For instance. people who played a game in which they had to find a match for a briefly overturned card struggled at a similar test that used stars " hidden"in boxes. " Even when the tests were conceptually quite similar we didn't see any improvement." says Owen. He concludes that brain-training software only makes people better at the specific tasks they have bean practicing.Yet Klingberg, who founded a cognitive-training firm called Cogmed, is indignant at the conclusion that all brain training is bunk. The participants in Owes' study didn't practice for long enough and there was no quality control over what practice people did, he says. " Asking subjects to sit at home and do tests online. Perhaps with the TV on or other distractions around. Is likely to result in noisy data." he says. " This paper does in no way disprove that the brain is plastic or that cognitive functions can be improved by training."Owen counters that his seam's rescarch took place in settings similar to the ones people are likely to practice in. " This is what people are doing. They're sitting at home on their computers doing brain training."1. The purpose of Owen recruiting volunteers to do the first round of tests is to____.A.test their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial memoryB.support the BBC television program in his wayC.prove how much information participants can rememberD.detect differences among people in memorizing information2. From the second round of cognitive tests, Owes concluded that____.A.all participants have made much recognizable improvement dramaticallyB.participants have developed reasoning ability to solve complicated problemsC.participants can make greater improvement in solving very similar problemsD.participants performed better in certain tasks they have practiced for a long time3. What's the meaning of "indignant"A.surprised.B.Agreeable.C.Mad.D.ishonest.4. What is the passage mainly about? A.There is a debate about whether brain-training software is effective.B.We should concentrate on brain-training software in our daily life.C.Brain-training software is useless to most people.D.It is important to improve reasoning ability and spatial memory.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
