26、neutral platform that allows sponsors and colleges to award MicroScholarships to students based on Colleges and/or Sponsors award criteria. By using the services, you should understand the following：Connecting with Users：Educators may only connect with students from the schools or organizations that
27、 they serve, and may connect with an individual student only with that students permission. Educators may also connect with colleges and sponsors via the services. Students may only connect with educators from their own schools and organizations, and may connect with an individual educator only with
28、 that educators permission. Students may elect to follow sponsors via the services. Sponsors may only view the profiles (简介) of students who elect to follow them. Qualifying for MicroScholarships：Students can earn MicroScholarships based on the courses and achievements they add to their profiles whi

Continuing to contact sponsors and adding an academic achievement. BSpatial navigation (空间导航) relies on brain regions that are commonly affect
33、ed by the early stages of Alzheimers disease. Before severe and obvious memory problems set in and people are diagnosed with dementia (痴呆), they might report problems with finding their way around and frequently get lost in familiar neighborhoods. In that early stage, however, it is difficult to kno
34、w whether their damaged navigational skills are actually due to the disease or simply a part of normal agingbecause we currently dont have a firm grasp on what “normal” is. In their recent study, Spiers and his colleagues aimed to change that by establishing a common baseline for adults navigational
35、 skills, which naturally decline with age. For that, the researchers needed large numbers of people梙 encee the idea for crowdsourcing the experiment via a gaming APP that measures spatial navigation ability. Navigating inside a game may not be exactly the same as finding ones way in a realworld situ
36、ation. But people are likely to use the same cognitive mechanisms (认知机制) in both situations. “If you are good at navigating, youll do well in the game. And if you are bad at finding your way out there, youll also struggle in the video game，” Spiers says, adding that their team still plans to compare
37、 the game performance with reallife performance in near future. Since its launch in May, some 2.5 million healthy people have played Sea Hero Quest, making it one of the most impressive scientific experiments to date just by the sheer number of participants. “To my knowledge, never before has spatia
38、l navigation been quantified on such a large scale，” says Katherine Possin, an assistant professor of neuropsychology at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved with the research. So far one of the main findings coming out of Sea Hero Quest is a simple linear decline with a
39、ge: From the age 19 onward, spatial navigation steadily worsens from year to year. The 19yearolds were able to remember their starting point and accurately hit it by shooting a flare (信号弹 ) back to that position 74 percent of the time. Those aged 75 succeeded only 46 percent of the time. Another fin
40、ding is that men appear to perform better than women on these specific tasks. Although this finding seems to fit with the longheld assumption that men are better navigators, rather it may reflect that males have more experience with games. The researchers tried to account for this possibility, yet s
41、till found a gender difference in performance. Spiers notes, however, that the games boys and girls play in early childhood梬hichh could influence brain development and spatial skillsare much harder to account for. “The question is why. And we dont have an answer yet，” Spiers says. “We are really ski
42、mming the surface. Theres so much data from everyone whos played the game. We have two years of analysis ahead of us.”( )58. What is the main purpose in experimenting via gaming?A. To compare Alzheimers disease and normal aging. B. To provide a baseline measure of navigation ability. C. To figure ou
43、t the way of dealing with dementia. D. To find out how to firmly grasp what “normal” is. ( )59. According to the third paragraph, what Spiers says indicates that _. A. the levels of performance in both situations are tightly correlatedB. the popularity of the game makes itself a more impressive expe
44、rimentC. the plan to compare the game and real life has been carefully madeD. the scale of the game is so large that it is difficult to quantify( )60. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. Men were assumed to be better game players long before. B. Spatial navigation betters steadily from
45、 the age 19 onward. C. The reason for data being analysed is hard to account for. D. The findings reveal variations based on age and gender. CThe habitforming process within our brains is a threestep loop (回路). First, there is a cue, a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode (模式) and
46、 which habit to use. Then there is the routine, which can be physical or mental or emotional, Finally, there is a reward, which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is - 5 -worth remembering for the future. Over time, this loop梒uee, routine, reward梑ecomess more and more automatic. The
47、 cue and reward become intertwined (交织) until a powerful sense of anticipation and a desire appears. Eventually, a habit is born. Habits arent destiny. Habits can be ignored, changed, or replaced. But the reason the discovery of the habit loop is so important is that it reveals a basic truth: When a habit appears, tile brain stops fully participating in decision making. I
