As humans, we live in ur thughts: frm pndering what t make fr dinner t daydreaming abut ur last beach vacatin. Nw, researchers at HHMT’s Janelia Research Campus have fund that rats als pssess an imaginatin, which was thught t be a uniquely human characteristic.
In a cllabratin between the labs f Tim Harris and Albert Lee, an innvative system was designed that cmbines virtual reality (VR) with a brain-machine interface (BM人机界面). This enabled the researchers t explre the wrld f a rat’s inner thughts. The real-time “thught detectr” was designed t measure neural (神经的) activity and translate what it meant.
The results shw that rats are capable f thinking abut places r bjects that are nt immediately present, which is cmparable t a human mentally planning a walk t a particular lcatin.
These internal experiences activate bvius neural patterns in the hippcampus (海马体)—the part f the brain that is respnsible fr spatial memry. Accrding t the study, rats can even vluntarily cnduct these activity patterns t recllect distant lcatins apart frm their current psitins.
“The rat can indeed activate the representatin f places in the envirnment withut ging there,” says Chngxi Lai, a pstdc in the Harris and Lee Labs and first authr f a paper describing the new findings. “Even if his physical bdy is fixed, his spatial thughts can g t a very remte lcatin.”
This ability t imagine lcatins away frm ne’s current psitin is fundamental t remembering past events and imagining pssible future scenaris. Therefre, the new wrk shws that animals prbably, like humans, pssess a frm f imaginatin. “T imagine is ne f the remarkable things that humans can d. Nw we have fund that rats can d it t, and we fund a way t study it,” said study c-authr Albert Lee.
This nvel research nt nly prvides insights int hippcampal functin but als paves the way fr advanced prsthetic (假肢) devices that use similar principles. The use f BMI in this study ffers anew pathway fr explring and understanding the brain, with ptential applicatins extending int the develpment f innvatin prsthetic slutins.
28．What des the underlined wrd “pndering” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．cnsidering B．tackling C．measuring D．urging
29．Why was the new system applied in the experiment?
A．T prevent the rats frm escapingB．T transprt rats t a particular lcatin
C．T cmpare humans and ratsD．T get a better understanding f rats’
30．What is the authr’s attitude tward this study?
A．Dubtful B．Uncncerned C．Optimistic D．Negative
31．What is the text mainly abut?
A．Rats can think abut places r bjects in the distance.
B．Animals can be as imaginative as humans.
C．Imaginatin is a special quality f humans.
D．We humans are fnd f eating and ging n vacatin

A spending bill (法案), which the US. passed, expanded the definitin f an FDA-regulated “tbacc prduct” t include thse that use lab-made nictine, as well as traditinal tbacc-riginated nictine.

The Campaign fr Tbacc-Free Kids applauded taking steps t decrease yuth vaping —a habit 11 percent f high schl students reprted in 2021, dwn frm a high f 27.5 percent in 2019. “By stp ping prducers frm using artificial nictine t escape FDA regulatin. Cngress is taking a critical step t end this yuth addictin crisis nce and fr all,” a spkespersn said in a statement.
32．What is the plicy change f the U. S. Fd and Drug Administratin?
