　　閱讀下列四篇短文，從每小題后所給的A,B,C或D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (神經元) in our brains.

　　Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿) it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.

　　Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”) , the same mirror neurons weretriggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball) .

　　Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.

　　Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact (互動) . Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物) for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you’ll understand why.

　　1. Mirror neurons can explain　.　

　　A. why we cry when we are hurt

　　B. why we cough when we suffer from a cold

　　C. why we smile when we see someone else smile

　　D. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late

　　2. The underlined word“triggered”in the third paragraph probably means“　”.　

　　A. set off B. cut off　C. built up D. broken up

　　3. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons　.　

　　A. relate to human behavior and interaction

　　B. control human physical actions and feelings

　　C. result in bad behavior and social disorders

　　D. determine our knowledge and language abilities

　　4. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. Ways to find mirror neurons.　 B. Problems of mirror neurons.

　　C. Existence of mirror neurons.　 D. Functions of mirror neurons.

　　In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead,with more tactics（策略）.

　　One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores, section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妝品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.

　　Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.

　　When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.

　　40. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?

　　A. To save customers times.

　　B. To show they are high quality foods.

　　C. To help sell junk food.

　　D. To sell them at discount prices.

　　41. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?

　　A. Opening the store early in the morning.

　　B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.

　　C. Inviting customers to play music.

　　D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.

　　42. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?

　　A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.

　　B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.

　　C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.

　　D. A good first impression increases sales.

　　43. What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.

　　B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.

　　C. To report researches on customer behavior.

　　D. To show dishonest business practices.

　　42.D 推斷題。根據最后一段提到When entering the house,the customer would see the Pacific Ocean throught the windows, and the the pool throught an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant of water on both levels helped sell these $10million houses當人們進入房間，看到窗外的太平洋和游泳池時，銷售業績會增長，故選D項。

　　43.A 推斷題。本文在解釋為什么要水果放要店里的最顯眼的位置，目的是促進后面的商業交易，故選A項。

　　【考點定位】社會生活類閱讀。

　　【名師點睛】對于社會生活類閱讀，大多數是細節理解或推斷題，考生要把握題干的大意，準備的定位，來找到相關信息。注意文章中的所給的漢語注釋，不要由于緊張而對于 while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander overcosmeticsthey might want to try later.這個詞意有所忽視從而影響對于文章整體的理解。

　　Why not give it a try? Perhaps you should take lessons on a

　　musical instrument. The late musician Dennis Brian is said to have

　　asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his

　　request was refused, he took out his French horn(號) and started

　　to practice.

　　Angie O’Edema·42 minutes ago

　　I don’t see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public. Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked out loud on his mobile phone. I left my seat quietly, giving him some privacy to finish his conversation. He realized this and apologised to me. When his phone rang again later, he left his seat to answer it. You see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better.
