A recent New Yrk Times pinin piece by Daniel Willingham addressed the questin f whether listening t a bk is the same as reading it. Willingham begins the piece with a frequently asked questin—Is it cheating if I listen t an audibk fr my bk club?
Willingham argues that they’re bth wrthwhile but is careful t nte that desn’t mean they have the same value. In line with his pints in the article, I listen t audibks when I wuldn’t therwise be engaged in a bk—say, at the gym r while walking. That’s certainly an advantage f listening ver reading. But I was surprised t find that Willingham didn’t mentin what I cnsider t be the biggest difference between the tw: Engagement.
The critical difference, fr me, between reading and listening is that reading is smething yu d, while listening is smething that happens t yu. Reading is an act f engagement. The wrds n the page aren’t ging t read themselves, which is smething they literally d in an audibk. If yu’re nt actively taking in written infrmatin, then yu’re nt ging t make prgress n the bk. Audibks, n the ther hand, make prgress with r withut yur participatin.
Willingham refers t this pint by saying that harder bks—“difficult texts” as he calls them—require mre engagement, which is thus better suited t reading. Yet it’s nt necessarily true. Fr example, I’ve recently been listening t David Graeber’s excellent Debt: The First5000 Years, a tugh read with lts f infrmatin and arguments. While I haven’t grasped every piece f infrmatin that he’s presented, I have spent a lt mre time thinking abut an imprtant tpic than I therwise wuld. This fill-in-the-cracks nature f audibks is a critical advantage.
Ultimately, it’s fair t cnsider audibks and written texts as fundamentally different media. They are different frms based n the same wrk. Yur ptin depends n what yu are willing t give t it(time, abve all) and what yu hpe t get ut f it.
8. What is an advantage f audibks accrding t Willingham?
A. Cutting dwn ne’s reading time.B. Increasing absrptin f knwledge.
C. Prviding mre flexible access t infrmatin.D. Encuraging further thinking n serius tpics.
9. What des the writer think f reading?
A. It helps the general idea t stand ut.B. It suits peple wrking n difficult texts.
C. It speeds up readers’ prgress n the bk.D. It requires mre participatin frm readers.
10. Why des the writer mentin Debt: The First 5000 Years?
A. T demnstrate what makes a tugh read.B. T shw why audibks attract listeners.
C. T prve audibks als suit hard texts.D. T stress reading can als take huge effrt.
11. What can we learn abut texts and audibks frm the last paragraph?
A. They invlve similar effrts.B. They prve equally demanding.
C. They have distinct user grups.D. They serve different purpses.
D
In sme species, when the cnditins get tugh, the bdy hits the brakes, lwering bdy temperature, slwing the speed f cnsuming energy t a snail’s pace and entering a state knwn as trpr. Humans d nt enter trpr, but the cnditin might ffer benefits acrss situatins as seemingly unrelated as intensive care unit (ICU) stays and lng-distance space travel.
Using ultrasund (超声) waves targeted at a deep regin f the brain, researchers at Washingtn University created a trpr-like state in mice. Mice can naturally enter this state, s the scientists als tested the technique in rats, animals which dn’t enter trpr by nature. The findings, published n May 25th in Nature Metablism, culd ptentially infrm research n targeting different brain areas with ultrasund t regulate ther bdily activities.
Withut having t physically invade the targets’ heads, the apprach is an imprtant step in advancing trpr tward human use, says Michael Ambler, a researcher and, lecturer studying trpr at the University f Bristl in England. Sme earlier effrts relied n injecting a gene int the targeted-brain-regin-t-assist-in-prducing a trpr-like state with light r drugs. Such invasive appraches are unlikely t gain apprval fr human use, Ambler says, making the new study “an extremely interesting piece f wrk.”
If this nninvasive apprach were t becme pssible in humans, ne ptential use wuld be t buy heart attack patients time in transprt t the hspital. In the ICU, trpr culd als be applied befre drugs and mnitring are invlved in patient care. This study even presents a very first step tward the ptential t supprt human’s lng lnely jurneys in space.
Yet befre that pssibility takes flight in the future, research n a familiar species must cme first. Ambler says the next step shuld be testing in larger, nnhuman animals, prbably pigs. “They are mst like humans—hairless and similar t humans in terms f bdy temperature,” he says. “It’s a step-by-step prcess, frm mice t rats t pigs t mnkeys and then, hpefully, eventually t humans”—and then, perhaps, beynd the bunds f planet Earth.
12. What des the underlined wrd “trpr” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Having much energy.B. Being nt active.
C. Requiring little sleep.D. Decreasing in size.
13. Hw is the ultrasund apprach different frm earlier nes?
A It avids cutting int the bdy.
B. It targets directly at the brain.
C. It prves effective fr human use.
D. It ges tgether with light r drugs.
14. What is a pssible applicatin f the research?
A. Mnitring ICU patients.
B. Curing heart attack victims.
C. Stabilizing bdy temperature.
D. Supprting lng space travels.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Prmtin f the technique.
B. Significance f the findings.
C. Fcus f the fllw-up research.
D. Review f the experiment prcess.
