But there may be a(n) 17 to doing
17、 so, as a study has claimed that3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-trainingtests. The research was led by neuroscientist(神 经 科 学 家 ) Dr Patrick Fagan from GoldsmithsUniversity in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where par
18、ticipantswatched Disney film Big Hero 6 in either 18 type or RealD 3D. They also carried out abrain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory,reaction time and cognitive (认 知 的 ) function, and the results were later 19 .According to the research, parti
19、cipants 20 a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction time.Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggestthat 3D could play a part in improving brain 21 in the future. “These findings are moresignificant
20、than you might think,” he said. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n)22 decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life.There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results ofthis study indica
21、te that 3D films may 23 play a role in slowing this decline.”A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted withheadsets( 耳 机 ) that 24 brain activity and this too showed heightened activity whenwatching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent mor
22、e engaged with whatthey were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watchingreal-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 25 remarkable.Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evoluti
23、onary 26 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3Dfilms are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal this, in turn, makes thebrain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.解 析 ： 17 考 查 名 词 。 但 是 这 么 做 有 一 个 益 处 。 Benefit 益 处 。 故 选 H。18 考 查 名 词 。 看 标 准 版 或 3

27、ts that push against the“having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that findsthat “supermoms” have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things27 . The research, pr
28、esented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American SociologicalAssociation in Las Vegas, finds that working is 28 for mothers mental health. But amongworking mothers, the least depressed are those who dont expect to 29 work and family lifeperfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate
29、 student at the University of Washingtonin Seattle. “The ideal that women can do it all actually 30 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family can bebalanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 31 from 1,600 married women
30、 who participated in a largesurvey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questionsto judge their support of womens 32 , including whether they agreed with statements such as“Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.” In 1992
31、and 1994,the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlierstudies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptomsof depression, perhaps because outside work gives women more 33 interaction, more variedactivities and a l
32、arger income, Leupp said. Among the employed women, though, the cheeriestwere those who had indicated in their younger years the least 34 for women balancingcareer and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression.“Somewhat 35 , women who dont expect to be able to
33、balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didnt explain why optimistic (乐 观 的 ) views of balancing work and motherhoodwould 36 later depression. “The reason may come down to 37 and real-world workenvironments,” Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it
34、 all probably come up against 38that arent designed with work-life balance in mind. When they cant balance everything perfectly,these supermoms are more likely to feel 39 .”“I think this research really speaks to a 40 between womens expectations and theactual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.
35、 “The takeaway for working moms is to tempertheir optimism about balancing 41 and employment and not to blame themselves if theystruggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, its because it is difficult.”27.A. happenB. continue C. slideD. end28.A. goodB. readyC. hardD. possible29.A. protectB. share

45、n given in the passage you have just read.（ A）The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves (蹄 ) rings in theriders ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes ofsuspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourn
46、e Cup and earning a place inhistory.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup one of the worlds most famous horseraces were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as havingpotential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A hors
47、es owner manages the team anddecides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorses diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动 物美 容 师 ) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the tra
48、iner. And ofcourse, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travelconstantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditionsand communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australias most famous horserace, the Melb
49、ourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement.Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated (提 名 ), but only 24 can run. The competitors arechosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap a certain weight it must carry to give each horse anequal chance of winning two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely towin were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap forprevious winners.The
