14、数:3,分数:30.00)Some psychologists(心理学家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies. You surely are not surprised
15、 to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more spe-cifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra
16、 (乐队) even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job. Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all pos-sible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels“ himself into the music with more or
17、 less noticeable motions of his body. The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.

21、A.deliberateB.apparentC.indistinctD.impressiveIt is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thou-sands of everyday perceptions . the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought
22、 into the present by memory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering“ things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up
23、eating grain be-cause he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat. Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and ma-chines. Computers, for example, contain devices for sto
24、ring data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being.

25、ds of Engfish. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored.
