A
At thirteen, I was diagnsed (诊断) with kind f attentin disrder. It made schl difficult fr me. When everyne else in the class was fcusing n tasks, I culdn’t.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us t read a stry and then write n it, all within 45minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, yu see, the dctr said I have attentin prblems I might nt be able t d it.”
She glanced dwn at me thrugh her glasses, “Yu are nt different frm yur classmates, yung man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had t take it hme.
In the quietness f my bedrm, the stry suddenly all became clear t me. It was abut a blind persn Luis Braile. He lived in a time when the blind culdn’t get much educatin. But Luis didn’t give up. Inslead, he invented a reading system f raised dts (点), which pened up a whle new wrld f. knwledge t the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made t learn like the “sighted” students? My thughts spilled ut and my pen started t dance. I cmpleted the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was nt different frm thers; I just needed a quieter place. If Luis culd find his way ut f his prblem, why shuld I ever give up?
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper t Mrs. Smith, s it was quite a surprise when it came back t me the next day—with an “A” n it. At the bttm f the paper were these wrds, “See what yu can d when yu keep trying?”

Birds Can “Read” Human Gaze
We all knw that peple smetimes change their behavir when smene is lking their way. Nw, a new study reprted nline n April 2nd in Current Bilgy shws that jackdaws (寒鸦) — birds related t crws with eyes that appear similar t human eyes — can d the same.
“Jackdaws seem t recgnize the eye’s rle in visual perceptin (视觉), r at the very least they are extremely sensitive t the way that human eyes are directed,” said Auguste vn Bayern, frmerly f the University f Cambridge and nw at the University f Oxfrd.
When presented with a preferred fd, hand-raised jackdaws tk lnger t get the reward when a persn was directing his eyes twards the fd than when he was lking away, accrding t the research team led by Nathan Emery f the University f Cambridge and Queen Mary University f Lndn. The birds hesitated nly when the persn was nt knwn t them and thus ptentially threatening.
In additin, the birds were able t understand human cmmunicative gestures, such as stare change and pinting, t help them find hidden fd, they fund. The birds were unsuccessful in using unmving signals, including eye stare r head directin.
Unlike mst birds, jackdaws’ eyes have a dark pupil (瞳孔) surrunded by a silvery white iris (虹膜). The researchers said they believe jackdaws are prbably sensitive t human eyes because, as in humans, eyes are an imprtant means f cmmunicatin fr them. The hand-raised birds examined in the study may be even better than wild jackdaws at attending t human stare and respnding t the gestures f the peple wh have raised them.
The findings are particularly ntable given that mst ther species examined s far, including ur clsest relatives, the chimpanzee and “man’s best friend,” the dg, are nt particularly sensitive t eye directin and eye stare, vn Bayern said. Rather, she cntinued, chimps and dgs seem t rely n ther signals such as head r bdy directin in determining the lking directin f thers. The results suggest that birds may deserve mre respect fr their mental abilities.
“We may have understated the psychlgical wrld f birds,” vn Bayern said. “Jackdaws, amng many ther birds, frm pair ties fr life and need t have much in cmmn and wrk tgether with their partner, which requires an efficient way f cmmunicating and sensitivity t their partner’s viewpint.”
25．A hand-raised jackdaw hesitates t take a preferred fd when the feeder ______.
A．is unfamiliar t the birdB．is lking away frm the fd
C．hlds the fd in his handD．is lking at the fd
26．Accrding t the researchers, jackdaws can ntice human eye directin prbably because ______.
A．their eyes als have a dark pupil
B．they are far mre intelligent than ther birds
C．they are mstly hand-raised by humans
D．like humans, they als use eyes t cmmunicate
27．Why des the authr refer t chimpanzees and dgs?
A．T suggest that they are much better at understanding stare change.
B．T make clear that they rely n ther means in determining peple’s intentin.
C．T shw that they cmmunicate mre frequently with humans than jackdaws.
D．T reflect hw unique jackdaws are in being able t ntice stare directin.
28．What des the research finding suggest?
A．We knw embarrassingly less abut birds than we assume.
B．Nt all jackdaws are gd at attending t human stare.
C．We may have understated jackdaws’ mental abilities.
D．The clser we cmmunicate with animals, the better we understand them.

Scientists frm Imperial Cllege Lndn have fund that using virtual reality(VR)headsets can reduce sensitivity t pain, by immersing(沉浸)peple in icy Arctic scenery. In a study published in Pain Reprts, a team frm Imperial used VR vide t reduce peple’s sensitivity t nging pain and sharp shting pain.
Accrding t the researchers, the findings add t the grwing evidence fr the ptential f VR technlgy t help patients with lng-term pain. Beynd the distracting effect, they think VR may actually cause the bdy’s wn inbuilt pain-fighting systems t start wrking.
Dr Sam Hughes, the first authr n the paper, said "Our wrk suggests that VR may be getting invlved in prcesses in the key parts f ur inbuilt pain-fighting systems and are helpful in regulating the spread f increased sensitivity t pain.
T test their thery, researchers applied a cream cntaining capsaicin(辣椒素)-the chemical that makes yur muth bum-t 15 healthy vlunteers. The capsaicin makes the skin mre sensitive t painful stimuli(刺激)like a very small electric shck.
In the first trial, participants were then asked t rate the pain caused by the capsaicin cream n a scale f 0-100 (frm 'n pain' t 'wrst pain pssible' )while either watching a VR scene f Arctic explratin thrugh a headset, r lking at a still image f an Arctic scene n a mnitr. Under the same cnditins, they were als asked t say when a stimulus applied directly t the skin area is cnsidered as painful.
The team fund that nging pain was reduced fllwing VR immersin, and that sensitivity t painful stimuli was als reduced. Hwever, the same effect was nt seen in peple wh lked at still images f the plar envirnment.
They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encuraging, the study is limited by the small number f healthy participants, withut lng-term pain. Hwever, the researchers believe VR culd hld a bright future t treat patients with lng-term pain wh have pr inbuilt pain fighting systems.
29．Hw can VR pssibly help lng-term pain sufferers?
A．By making their pain-fighting systems functin.
B．By drawing their attentin t fighting pain.
C．By cntrlling the spread f pain sensitivity.
D．By slwing dwn their brains' reactin t pain.
30．Which step cmes first in their thery testing?
A．Making a capsaicin cream.
B．Putting n virtual reality headsets.
C．Applying capsaicin cream t the skin.
D．Lking at pictures n a cmputer screen.
31．What cnclusin can be drawn frm the trial?
A．Still images helped t ease peple's pain.
B．VR immersin was the key factr in pain reductin.
C．Healthy peple were less sensitive t VR than pain sufferers.
D．Capsaicin cream brught peple mre pain than electrnic stimulus.
32．What des the last paragraph imply?
A．The team feels cnfident abut future VR treatment.
B．The researchers will wrk n the side effect f VR.
C．VR treatment can be applied in ther medical fields.
D．The trial nly has an effect n shrt-term pain patients.

Scientists frm Imperial Cllege Lndn have fund that using virtual reality(VR)headsets can reduce sensitivity t pain, by immersing(沉浸)peple in icy Arctic scenery. In a study published in Pain Reprts, a team frm Imperial used VR vide t reduce peple’s sensitivity t nging pain and sharp shting pain.
Accrding t the researchers, the findings add t the grwing evidence fr the ptential f VR technlgy t help patients with lng-term pain. Beynd the distracting effect, they think VR may actually cause the bdy’s wn inbuilt pain-fighting systems t start wrking.
Dr Sam Hughes, the first authr n the paper, said "Our wrk suggests that VR may be getting invlved in prcesses in the key parts f ur inbuilt pain-fighting systems and are helpful in regulating the spread f increased sensitivity t pain.
T test their thery, researchers applied a cream cntaining capsaicin(辣椒素)-the chemical that makes yur muth bum-t 15 healthy vlunteers. The capsaicin makes the skin mre sensitive t painful stimuli(刺激)like a very small electric shck.
In the first trial, participants were then asked t rate the pain caused by the capsaicin cream n a scale f 0-100 (frm 'n pain' t 'wrst pain pssible' )while either watching a VR scene f Arctic explratin thrugh a headset, r lking at a still image f an Arctic scene n a mnitr. Under the same cnditins, they were als asked t say when a stimulus applied directly t the skin area is cnsidered as painful.
The team fund that nging pain was reduced fllwing VR immersin, and that sensitivity t painful stimuli was als reduced. Hwever, the same effect was nt seen in peple wh lked at still images f the plar envirnment.
They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encuraging, the study is limited by the small number f healthy participants, withut lng-term pain. Hwever, the researchers believe VR culd hld a bright future t treat patients with lng-term pain wh have pr inbuilt pain fighting systems.
29．Hw can VR pssibly help lng-term pain sufferers?
A．By making their pain-fighting systems functin.
B．By drawing their attentin t fighting pain.
C．By cntrlling the spread f pain sensitivity.
D．By slwing dwn their brains' reactin t pain.

A．Making a capsaicin cream.
B．Putting n virtual reality headsets.
C．Applying capsaicin cream t the skin.
D．Lking at pictures n a cmputer screen.
31．What cnclusin can be drawn frm the trial?
A．Still images helped t ease peple's pain.
B．VR immersin was the key factr in pain reductin.
C．Healthy peple were less sensitive t VR than pain sufferers.
D．Capsaicin cream brught peple mre pain than electrnic stimulus.
32．What des the last paragraph imply?
A．The team feels cnfident abut future VR treatment.
