Action.BA study of violinists found that merely good players practised as much as better players, leaving other factors such as quality of education, learning skills and perhaps natural talent to account for the difference.This finding challenges the 10, 0
16、00-hour rule promoted in Malcolm Gladwells 1993 study of violinists and pianists. Gladwell states that enough practice will make an expert of anyone. “The idea has been popular and entrenched in our culture for years. Its not an idiom but an overstatement,” said Brooke Macnamara, the lead author. “W
17、hen it comes to human skill, a complex combination of environmental factors and genetic factors explains the performance differences across people.”Macnamara and her colleagues set out to repeat part of the 1993 study to see whether they reached the same conclusion. They interviewed three groups of
18、13 violinists regarded as best, good, or less accomplished about their practice habits, before having them complete daily diaries of their activities over a week. While the less skillful violinists reached an average of about 6,000 hours of practice by the age of 20, there was little to separate the
19、 good from the best, with each reaching an average of about 11,000 hours. In all, the number of hours spent practising accounted for about a quarter of the skill difference across the three groups.Macnamara believes practice is less of a driver. “Once you get to the highly skilled groups, practice s

Everyone has practised a lot and other factors are at play in determining who goes on to a higher level,” she said. “The factors depend on the skill being learned: in chess it could be intelligence or working memory; in sport it may be how efficiently a person use
21、s oxygen. To complicate matters further, one factor can drive another. Children who enjoy playing the violin, for example, may be happy to practise because they do not see it as a trouble.”The authors of the 1993 study are unimpressed. Macnamara said it was important for people to understand the lim

Enthusiasm is the key to successCWhat may well be the oldest metal coins in the world have been identified at an ancient abandoned city known as Guanzhuang in China. Like many Bronze Age (青铜时代) coins from the region, they were cast in the shape o
26、f spades with finely carved handles. These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter (以物易物) and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable.Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people
27、 represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house. We also talk about one computer using a “port” to send information to another computer, as if the data were a floating boat with destination. Its as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, graspin
28、g desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization.Now consider what happened to spade coins. Over centuries, metalworkers made these coins into more abstract shapes. Some became almost human figures. Others handles were reduced to small half-circles. As spade coins grew more abstr
29、act, people carved them with number values and the locations where they were made. They became more like modern coins, flat and covered in writing. Looking at one of these later pieces, you would have no idea that they were once intended to look like a spade.This makes me wonder if we will develop a
30、n entirely new set of symbols that allow us to interact with our digital information more smoothly.Taking spade coins as our guide, we can guess that far-future computer networks will no longer contain any recognizable references to houses. But they still might bring some of the ideas we associate w
31、ith home to our mind. In fact, computer networks if they still exist at all are likely to be almost the indispensable part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses. If climate change leads to floods,
32、our mobile devices might look more like boats than phones, assisting us to land.My point is that the metaphors of the information age arent random. Mobile devices do offer us comfort after a long day at work. In some sense, our desire to settle on the shores of data lakes could change the way we und
33、erstand home, as well as how we build computers. So as we cast our minds forward, we have to think about what new abstractions will go along with our information technology. Perhaps the one thing we count on is that humans will still appreciate the comforts of home.28. Why were many Bronze Age coins
34、 made into the shape of a spade?A. Because a lot of emphasis was put on agriculture.B. Because this stylish design made the coins valuable.C. Because these coins also served as agricultural tools.D. Because the handles made the coins easily exchanged.29. Why does the author relate computers to spade
35、 coins in Paragraph 2?A. To show they both used to be new concepts when first invented.B. To explain abstract digital worlds are different from concrete coins.C. To suggest computers will experience dramatic changes as coins did.D. To highlight their same importance in our civilizational transformat

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. What Coins and Computers Bring UsB. How Agriculture Loses to Digital IndustryC. How Bronze Age
37、Develops to Information AgeD. What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future ITDPeople with a rare genetic disorder known as Prader-Willi syndrome never feel full, and this excess hunger can lead to life-threatening obesity (肥胖症). Scientists studying the problem have now found that the fist-shaped str
38、ucture known as the cerebellum (小脑) - which had not previously been linked to hunger - is key to regulating satiation (饱食) in those with this condition.This finding is the latest in a series of discoveries revealing that the cerebellum, long thought to be primarily involved in movement harmony, also
39、plays a broad role in cognition, emotion and behavior. “Weve opened up a whole field of cerebellar control of food intake,” says Albert Chen, a neuroscientist at the Scintillon Institute in California.The project began with an accidental observation: Chen and his team noticed they could make mice st
40、op eating by activating small pockets of neurons(神经元) in regions known as the anterior deep cerebellar nuclei (aDCN), within the cerebellum. Fascinated, the researchers gathered data using functional MRI to compare brain activity in 14 people who had Prader-Willi syndrome with activity in 14 unaffec
41、ted people while each testee viewed images of food - either immediately following a meal or after fasting (禁食) for at least four hours.New analysis of these scans revealed that activity in the same regions Chens group had accurately pointed out in mice, the aDCN, appeared to be significantly disturb
42、ed in humans with Prader-Willi syndrome. In healthy individuals, the aDCN were more active in response to food images while fasting than just after a meal, but no such difference was identifiable in participants with the disorder. The result suggested that the aDCN were involved in controlling hunge
43、r. Further experiments on mice, conducted by researchers from several different institutions, demonstrated that activating the animals aDCN neurons dramatically reduced food intake by weakening how the brains pleasure center responds to food.For years neuroscientists studying appetite focused mainly
44、 either on the hypothalamus, a brain area involved in regulating energy balance, or on reward-processing centers such as the nucleusaccumbens (伏隔核). But this group has identified a new feeding center in the brain, says Elanor Hinton, a neuroscientist at the University of Bristol in England who was n
45、ot involved with the study. “Ive been working in appetite research for the past 15 years or so, and the cerebellum has just not been a target,” Hinton says. “I think this is going to be important both for Prader-Willi syndrome and, much more widely, to address obesity in the general population.”32.
46、Before the recent study, what had scientists assumed?A. The cerebellum helped control everyday food intake.B. The cerebellum played a minor role in movement harmony.C. The cerebellum had nothing to do with appetite regulation.D. The cerebellum had a direct link to behavioral development.33. Accordin
47、g to the project conducted by the researchers, which of the following is true?A. The healthy testees were more likely to overeat after fasting.B. Food images increased the appetite of the testees with Prader-Willi syndrome.C. The aDCN in the healthy testees responded to food images more actively after fasting.D. The aDCN in the testees with Prader-Willi syndrome made no response to food images.34. What does Elanor Hinton imply about future
