Genetic infrmatin is imprtant because it stres, prcesses and transmits bilgical data frm generatin t generatin. Sme scientists even assume that knwing genetic infrmatin itself matters.
Fr example, in quantum mechanics （量子力学）, there is a ppular thery knwn as the “bserver effect”, which states that the act f bserving a phenmenn （usually by making sme kind f measurement）necessarily changes that phenmenn. In ther wrds, just by being there and having an interest in the utcme, we affect that utcme.
While the explanatins behind the bserver’s influence in quantum mechanics cme dwn t the measuring instrument and nt the bserver’s cnscius mind, we als see strng evidence fr the “placeb effect” in medicine: a patient’s cnditin can imprve if they just believe they are receiving an effective treatment. And thse beneficial effects can happen even if the patient is nt actually receiving that treatment r if the treatment desn’t actually wrk.
If ur minds truly d have pwer ver ur surrundings and ur bdies, what des having the genetic infrmatin d t us? Des simply knwing mre abut ur wn physilgy （生理机能）change it? A recent study n exercise and besity suggests that the answer is yes.
Thse wh were tld they were at lw genetic risk fr besity prduced 2.5 times mre f the fullness hrmne and claimed t feel fuller despite eating the same meal as they had ne week prir. Thse wh were tld they had lwer endurance because f their genes did wrse n their physical test than they had befre receiving that infrmatin: they shwed lwer lung capacity and quit sner.
Thus, having infrmatin abut ur genetic risk can lead t imprvements in ur physilgy （as was true fr the eaters f the study）, but it can als put us at a disadvantage （as with the pr exercise perfrmers）. S we certainly need t be cautius f incrrect genetic infrmatin. But as the Stanfrd study shws, even if the genetic infrmatin we receive is crrect, hw we receive it is als imprtant.
28. Hw des the “placeb effect” in medicine wrk?
A. The patient recvers with the timely treatment.
B. The patient’s cnditin wrsens due t a lack f treatment.
C. The patient’s cnditin remains unchanged despite their belief.
D. The patient’s cnditin imprves with the belief in the treatment.
29. Accrding t paragraph 5, what happened t thse wh were tld they were at lw genetic risk fr besity?
A. They shwed lwer lung capacity.
B. They quit their physical test sner.
C. They needed mre fd t satisfy their appetite.
D. They felt fuller with mre fullness hrmne released.
30. What is the authr’s attitude twards having genetic infrmatin?
A. Psitive. B. Objective.
C. Ambiguus. D. Negative.
31. What is the main idea f this article?
A. The great pwer f the bserver’s mind.
B. The influence f knwing genetic infrmatin.
C. The amazing applicatin f genetic infrmatin.
D. The cnnectin between Quantum Mechanics and Medicine.

Frm the rar f a crwd t the quiet f a library, sund and silence might seem like plar ppsites. Hwever, accrding t a new research, ur brains perceive them in the same way. Silence may nt be a sund, but scientists say we can truly hear it.
In this new study, researchers examined hw peple experience silence using well-knwn auditry illusins（错觉）. The illusins are meant t test the perceptin f nise, but fr the study, the team adapted them t measure peple’s respnse t silence, instead.
“If yu can get the same illusins with silences as yu get with sunds, then that may be bvius that we literally hear silence after all.” Chaz Firestne, a c-authr f the study and cgnitive scientist at Jhns Hpkins University, says in a statement.
In the study, participants were tricked by these “silence illusins” in a similar way t hw peple are typically fled by the sund versins f the experiments.
The researchers prepared seven experiments and tested them n 1,000 study participants. In ne experiment, researchers played a recrding that sunded like backgrund nise in a crwded place. In the first half f the recrding, the backgrund nise was interrupted by tw separate perids f silence. In the secnd half, ne cntinuus perid f silence was inserted（嵌入）. Researchers asked participants which silence felt lnger- the cmbinatin f the first tw perids f silence, r the secnd uninterrupted ne. Mst participants thught the cntinuus silence was lnger, but it was actually the same length as the tw shrter silences cmbined.
These results were cnsistent with previus research that examined auditry illusins, which used tw separate sunds and ne cntinuus sund. With that illusin, peple als perceived the cntinuus sund as lnger than the tw separate nes tgether.
Similar findings acrss the seven experiments suggested that humans experience silence and sund in much the same way: They can distrt（扭曲）ur perceptin f time.
32. Why did researchers use auditry illusins in the new study?
A. T help peple perceive sunds.
B. T test peple’s adaptability t nise.
C. T measure hw peple respnd t silence.
D. T remind peple t be quiet in the library.
33. What can we infer frm paragraph 5?
A. Illusins f silence fl peple’s brains.
B. The three perids f silence are f the same length.
C. Sund is usually difficult fr peple t perceive.
D. Participants chse a recrding and played it.
34. Where is this text mst likely frm?
A. A diary. B. A jurnal.
C. A nvel. D. A guidebk.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. We can truly hear silence like a sund.
B. Sund and silence are actually the same.
C. Auditry illusins affect ur perceptin ability.
D. Our brain has the ability t perceive sund and silence.
