16、here is something embeded in every culture-that dancing is a “cultural universal”. A researcher in Manchester thingks the impulse may be more deeply rooted than that. He says it may be a reflex reaction.Neil Todd,a psychologist at the University of Manchester. told the BA that he first got an inklin

17、g that biology was the key after watching people dance to deafeningly loud music.“There is a compulsion about it.”he says.He reckoned there might be a more direct,biological,explanation for the disre to dance,so he started to look at the inner ear.The human ear has two main functions:hearing and mai

18、ntaining balance.The standard view is that these tasks are segregated so that organs for balance,for insance,do not have an acoustic function.But Todd says animal studies have shown that the sacculus,which is part of the balance-regulating vestibular system,has retain some sensitivity to sound.The s

19、acculus is especially sensitive to extremely loud noise,above 70 decibel.“Theres no question that in a contemporary dance environment,the sacculus will be stimulated.”says Todd.The average rave,he says,blares music at a painful 110 to 140 decibels.But no one really knows what an acoustically stimula

20、ted sacculus does.Todd speculates that listening to extremely loud music is a form of “vestibular self-stimulation”:it gives a heightened sensation of motion. “We dont know exactly why it causes pleasure.”he says.”But we know that people go to extraordinary length to get it.”He list bungee jumping,p

21、laying on swings or even rocking to and fro in a rocking chair as other example of pursuits designed to stimulate the sacculus.The same pulsing that makes us feel as though we are moving may make us get up and dances as well,says Todd.Loud music sends signals to the inner ear which may prompt reflex

22、 movement. “The typical pulse rate of dance music is around the rate of locomotion.”he says,“Its quite possible youre triggering a spinal reflex.”61.The passage begins with_A. a new explanation of music B. a cultural universal questionedC. a common psychological abnormality D. a deep insight into hu

23、man physical movenents62.What intrigued Todd was _A.human instinct reflexes B.peoples biological heritages C.peoples compulsion about loud musicD.the damages loud music wrecks on human hearing63.Todds biological explanation for the desire to dance refers to_A.the mechanism of hearing soundsB.the res

24、ponse evoked from the sacculusC.the two main functions performed by the human earD.the segregation of the hearing and balance maintaining function64.When the sacculus is acoustically stimulated,according to Todd_A.functional balance will be maintained in the earB.pleasure will be arousedC.decibel wi

25、ll shoot upD.hearing will occur65.What is the passage mainly about? A.The human ear does more than hearing than expcted.B.Dancing is capable of heighten the sensation of hearing C.Loud music stimulates the inner ear and generates the urge to danceD.The human inner ear does more to help hear than to

26、help maintain balance.passage 2Have you switch off your compter? How about your television? Your video? Your CD player? And even your coffee percolator? Really switched them off,not just pressed the button on some conrtol panel and left your machine with a telltale bright red light warning you that

27、it is ready to jump back to life at your command?Because if you havent,you are one of the guilty people who help pollute the planet.It doest matter if youve joined the neighborhood recycling scheme, conscientiously sorted your garbage and avoided driving to work. You still cant sleep easy while just

28、 one of those little red lights is glowing in the dark.The awful truth is that household and office electrical appliances left on stand-by mode are gobbling up energy, even though they are doing absolutely nothing. Some electronic products-such as CD players-can use almost as much energy on stand-by

29、 as they do when running. Others may use a lot less, but as your video player spend far more hours on stand-by than playing anything, the wastage soon adds up.In the US. alone, idle electronic devices consume enough energy to power cities with the energy needs of Chicago or London-costing consumers

30、around 1 billion a year. Power stations fill the atmosphere with carbon dioxide just to do absolutely nothing.Thoughtless design is partly responseble for the waste.But manufactures only get away with desinging products that waste energy this way because consumers are not sensitive enough to the iss

31、ue,indeed,while recycling has caught the public imagination ,reducing waste has attracted much less attention.But “source reduction”,as the garbage experts like to call the art of not using what you dont need to use,offers enormous potential for reducing waste of all kinds.With a little intelligent

32、shopping,you can cut waste long before you reach the end of the chain.Packaging remains the big villain. One of the hidden consequences of buying products grown or made all around the world, rather than produced locally,is the huge amount of packaging. To help cut the waste and encourage intelligent

33、 manufacturers the simplest trick is to look for ultra-light package.The same arguments apply to the very light but strong plastic bottles that are replacing heavier glass alternatives,thin-walled aluminum cans,and cartons made of composites that wrap up anything drinkable in an ultra-light package.

34、There are hundreds of other tricks you can discuss with colleagues while gathering around the proverbial water coolerfilling up,naturally,your own mug rather than a disposable plastic cup. But you dont need to go as far as one website which tells you how to give your friends unwrapped Christmas pres

35、ents.There are limits to source correctness.66. Fron the first two paragraphs,the author implies that_A.hitch has made life easy everywhereB.nobody seems to be innocent in polluting the planetC.recycling can potentially control environmental deterioration D.everybody is joining the global battle aga

36、inst pollution in one way or another67.The waste caused by household and office electrical appliances on stand-by mode seems to_A.be a long-standing indoor problem B.cause nothing but trouble C.get exaggerated D.go unnoticed68.By idle electronic devices,the author means those appliances_A.left on st

37、and-by mode B.filling the atmosphere with carbon dioxideC.used by those who are mot energy-consciousD.used by those whose words spesk louder than actions69.Ultra-light packaging_A.is expected to reduce American waste bu one-thirdB.is an illustration of what is called “source reduction”C.can make bot

38、h manufacturers and consumers intelligentD.is a villain of what the garnage experts call “source reduction”70.The conclusion the author is trying to draw is that_A.one person cannot win the battle against pollution B.anybody can pick up tricks of environmental protection on the webC.noybody can be a

39、bsolutely right in all the tricks of environmental protection D.anybody can present or learn a trick of cutting down what is not neededpassage 3You can have too much of a good thing,it seems-at least when it comes to physiotherapy after a stroke. Many doctors believe that it is the key to recovery:e

40、xetcising a partially paralyzed limb can help the brain “rewire”itself and replace neural connections destroyed by a clot in the brain.But the latest animal experiments suggest that too much exercise too soon after a brain injury can make the damage worse. “Its something that clinicians are not awar

41、e of,”says Timothy Schallert of the University at Austin,who led the research.In some trials,stroke victims asked to put their good arm in a sling-to force them to use their partially paralyzed limb-had made much better recoveries than those who used their good arm. But these patients were treated m

42、any months after their strokes. Earlier intervention,Schallert reasoned,should lead to even more dramatic improvements.To test this theory,Schallert and his colleagues placed tiny casts on the good forelimbs of rats for two weeks immediately after they were given a small brain injury that partially

43、paralyzed one forelimb.Several weeks later, the researchers were astonished to find that brain tissue surruouding the original injury had also died. “The size of the injury doubled. Its very dramatic effect.”says Schallert.Brain-injured rats that were not forced to overuse their partially paralyzed

44、limbs showed no similar damage,and the casts did not cause a dramatic loss of brain tissue in animals that had not already suffered minor brain damage.In subsequent experiments,the researchers have found that the critical period for exercise-induced damage in rats is the first week after the initial

45、 brain injury.The spreading brain damage witnessed by Schallers team was probably caused by the release of glutamate,a neurotransmitter,from brain cells stimulated during limb movement.At high doses,glutamate is toxic even to healthy nerve cells.And Schallert believes that a brain injury makes neigh

46、boring cells unusually susceptible to the neurotransmitters toxic effects.Randolph Nudo of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston,who studies brain injury in primates, agrees that glutamate is the most likely culprit. In experiments with squirrel monkeys suffering from stroke-like

47、damage, Nudo tried beginning rehabilitation within five days of injury.Although the treatment was bebeficial in the long run,Nudo noticed an initial worsening of the paralysis that might also have been due to brain damage brought on by exercise.Schallert stresses that mild exercise is likely to be b

48、eneficial however soon it begins.He adds that it is unclear whether human victims of strokes,like brain -injured rats,could make their problems worse by exercising too vigorously,too soon.Some clinics do encourage patients to begin physiotherapy within a few weeks of suffering a traumatic head injury or stroke,says David Hovda,director of bra
