20、 are based on the following passage.In dogs left and right signal different things. 26 , it is in the way they wag (摇) their tails. And for dogs, like people, it is the left-hand side that is sinister (凶兆的).A few years ago Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trento and his colleague establishe
21、d that dogs wag their tail to the right when they see something pleasant, such as a beloved human master, and to the left when they see something unpleasant, such as an unfamiliar dominant dog. What Dr. Vallortigara did not establish then was whether such signals are 27 to other dogs. Now, he and th
22、e team have done just that.As they reported in Current Biology, they wired up several dozen dogs and then showed them videos of dogs with tails wagging to left or right. A left-wagging tail, they found, 28 a higher maximum heart rate than a right-wagging tail. A right-wagging tail, indeed, produced
23、the same results as one that was stationary.Dr. Vallortigara and his colleagues also observed the animals during the experiment, 29 behaviors such as ear-flattening, head-lowering and whining (哀叫) that are 30 with stress. They found that stressed behaviors were more common in the 31 of left-wagging
24、than right-wagging.All this suggests lateral specialization in dogs brains. The nervous signals for left-wagging and right-wagging 32 in different hemispheres. That they are 33 by different emotions shows that the two halves of a dog brain work, in this 34 at least, differently.Human brains are simi
25、larly lateralized. Handedness is one example. Another is language, a function predominantly of the left hemisphere. Whether it is just a 35 that dogs and people agree about which side is sinister, or whether there is something deeper going on, remains to be determined.A. apparent B. associated C. co
26、incidence D. connected E. derivedF. induced G. instance H. meaningful I. noting J. originateK. Particularly L. presence M. respect N. Specifically O. triggered Section B Does the Internet Make You DumberA. The Roman philosopher Seneca may have put it best 2 000 years ago: “To be everywhere is to be
27、nowhere.” Today, the Internet grants us easy access to unprecedented amounts of information. But a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the Net, with its constant distractions and interruptions, is also turning us into disrupted and superficial thinkers.B. The picture emerging from the
28、research is deeply troubling, at least to anyone who values the depth, rather than just the speed, of human thought. People who read text studded with links, the studies show, comprehend less than those who read traditional linear text. People who watch busy multimedia presentations remember less th
29、an those who take in information in a more sedate (镇定的) and focused manner. People who are continually distracted by e-mails, updates and other messages understand less than those who are able to concentrate. And people who juggle (同时应付) many tasks are often less creative and less productive than th
30、ose who do one thing at a time.C. The common thread in these disabilities is dispersing our attention. The richness of our thoughts, our memories and even our personalities hinges on our ability to focus the mind and sustain concentration. Only when we pay close attention to a new piece of informati
31、on are we able to associate it “meaningfully and systematically with knowledge already well established in memory,” writes the Nobel prize-winning neuroscientist (神经科学家) Eric Kandel. Such associations are essential to mastering complex concepts. D. When were constantly distracted and interrupted, as
32、 we tend to be online, our brains are unable to generalize the strong and expansive neural connections that give depth and distinctiveness to our contemplating. We become mere signal-processing units, quickly shepherding disjointed bits of information into and then out of short-term memory.E. In an
33、article published in Science last year, Patricia Greenfield, a leading developmental psychologist, reviewed dozens of studies on how different media technologies influence our cognitive abilities. Some of the studies indicated that certain computer tasks, such as playing video games, can enhance “vi
34、sual literacy skills”, increasing the speed at which people can shift their focus among icons and other images on screens. Other studies, however, found that such rapid shifts in focus, even if performed adeptly, result in less rigorous and “more automatic” thinking.F. In one experiment conducted at
35、 Cornell University, for example, half a class of students was allowed to use internet-connected laptops during a lecture, while the other had to keep their computers shut. Those who browsed the web performed much worse on a subsequent test of how well they retained the lectures content. While its h
36、ardly surprising that Web surfing would distract students, it should be a note of caution to schools that are wiring their classrooms in hopes of improving learning.G. Ms. Greenfield concluded that “every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others”. Our growing use of screen-base
37、d media, she said, has strengthened visual-spatial intelligence, which can improve the ability to do jobs that involve keeping track of lots of simultaneous signals, like air traffic control. But that has been accompanied by “new weaknesses in higher-order cognitive processes”, including “abstract v
38、ocabulary, mindfulness, reflection, inductive problem solving, critical thinking, and imagination”. Were becoming, in a word, shallower.H. In another experiment, recently conducted at Stanford Universitys Communication between Humans and Interactive Media Lab, a team of researchers gave various cogn
39、itive tests to 49 people who do a lot of media multitasking and 52 people who multitask much less frequently. The heavy multitaskers performed poorly on all the tests. They were more easily distracted, had less control over their attention, and were much less able to distinguish important informatio
40、n from trivial.I. The researchers were surprised by the results. They had expected that the intensive multitaskers would have gained some mental advantages from all their on-screen juggling. But that wasnt the case. In fact, the heavy multitaskers werent even good at multitasking. “Everything distra
41、cts them,” said Clifford Nass, the professor who heads the Stanford lab.J. It would be one thing if the ill effects went away as soon as we turned off our computers and mobiles. But they dont. The cellular structure of the human brain, scientists have discovered, adapts readily to the tools we use t
42、o find, store and share information. By changing our habits of mind, each new technology strengthens certain neural pathways and weakens others. The cellular alterations continue to shape the way we think even when were not using the technology.K. The pioneering neuroscientist Michael Merzenich beli
43、eves our brains are being “massively remodelled” by our ever-intensifying use of the web and related media. In the 1970s and 1980s, Merzenich, now a professor emeritus (荣誉退休教授) at the University of California in San Francisco, conducted a famous series of experiments on primate brains that revealed
44、how extensively and quickly neural circuits change in response to experience. When, for example, Mr. Merzenich rearranged the nerve in a monkeys hand, the nerve cells in the animals sensory cortex quickly reorganized themselves to create a new “mental map” of the hand. In a conversation late last ye
45、ar, he said that he was profoundly worried about the cognitive consequences of the constant distractions and interruptions the internet bombards us with. The long-term effect on the quality of our intellectual lives, he said, could be “deadly”.L. What we seem to be sacrificing in all our surfing and
46、 searching is our capacity to engage in the quieter, attentive modes of thought that underpin contemplation, reflection and introspection. The Web never encourages us to slow down. It keeps us in a state of perpetual mental locomotion. it is revealing, and distressing, to compare the cognitive effec
47、ts of the Internet with those of an earlier information technology, the printed book. whereas the Internet scatters our attention, the book focuses it. Unlike the screen, the page promotes contemplativenss.M. Reading a long sequence of pages helps us develop a rare kind of mental discipline. the innate bias of the human brain, after all, is to be distracted. Our predisposition is to be aware of as much of whats going on around us as possible. Our fast-paced, reflexive shifts in focus were once crucial to our survival. They reduced the odds that a predator would take
