Making beautiful profiles and completing the required courses. C. Setting an accurate date and meeting the “Follow Deadline”. D. Continuing to contact sponsors and adding an academic achievement. BSpatial navigation (空间导航) relies on brain regions that are commonly affected by the early stages of Alzheimers disease. Before severe and obvious memory problems set in and people are diagnosed with dementia (痴呆), they might report problems with finding their way around and frequently get lost in familiar neighborhoods. In that early stage, however, it is difficult to know whether their damaged navigational skills are actually due to the disease or simply a part of normal agingbecause we currently dont have a firm grasp on what “normal” is. In their recent study, Spiers and his colleagues aimed to change that by establishing a common baseline for adults navigational skills, which naturally decline with age. For that, the researchers needed large numbers of people梙encee the idea for crowdsourcing the experiment via a gaming APP that measures spatial navigation ability. Navigating inside a game may not be exactly the same as finding ones way in a realworld situation. But people are likely to use the same cognitive mechanisms (认知机制) in both situations. “If you are good at navigating, youll do well in the game. And if you are bad at finding your way out there, youll also struggle in the video game，” Spiers says, adding that their team still plans to compare the game performance with reallife performance in near future. Since its launch in May, some 2.5 million healthy people have played Sea Hero Quest, making it one of the most impressive scientific experiments to date just by the sheer number of participants. “To my knowledge, never before has spatial navigation been quantified on such a large scale，” says Katherine Possin, an assistant professor of neuropsychology at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved with the research. So far one of the main findings coming out of Sea Hero Quest is a simple linear decline with age: From the age 19 onward, spatial navigation steadily worsens from year to year. The 19yearolds were able to remember their starting point and accurately hit it by shooting a flare (信号弹) back to that position 74 percent of the time. Those aged 75 succeeded only 46 percent of the time. Another finding is that men appear to perform better than women on these specific tasks. Although this finding seems to fit with the longheld assumption that men are better navigators, rather it may reflect that males have more experience with games. The researchers tried to account for this possibility, yet still found a gender difference in performance. Spiers notes, however, that the games boys and girls play in early childhood梬hichh could influence brain development and spatial skillsare much harder to account for. “The question is why. And we dont have an answer yet，” Spiers says. “We are really skimming the surface. Theres so much data from everyone whos played the game. We have two years of analysis ahead of us.”()58. What is the main purpose in experimenting via gaming?A. To compare Alzheimers disease and normal aging. B. To provide a baseline measure of navigation ability. C. To figure out the way of dealing with dementia. D. To find out how to firmly grasp what “normal” is. ()59. According to the third paragraph, what Spiers says indicates that _. A. the levels of performance in both situations are tightly correlatedB. the popularity of the game makes itself a more impressive experimentC. the plan to compare the game and real life has been carefully madeD. the scale of the game is so large that it is difficult to quantify()60. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. Men were assumed to be better game players long before. B. Spatial navigation betters steadily from the age 19 onward. C. The reason for data being analysed is hard to account for. D. The findings reveal variations based on age and gender. CThe habitforming process within our brains is a threestep loop (回路). First, there is a cue, a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode (模式) and which habit to use. Then there is the routine, which can be physical or mental or emotional, Finally, there is a reward, which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is worth remembering for the future. Over time, this loop梒uee, routine, reward梑ecomess more and more automatic. The cue and reward become intertwined (交织) until a powerful sense of anticipation and a desire appears. Eventually, a habit is born. Habits arent destiny. Habits can be ignored, changed, or replaced. But the reason the discovery of the habit loop is so important is that it reveals a basic truth: When a habit appears, tile brain stops fully participating in decision making. It stops working so hard, or shifts focus to other tasks. So unless you deliberately fight a habit梪nlesss you find new routines梩hee pattern will unfold automatically. Habits never really disappear. Theyre encoded (嵌入) into the structures of our brain, and thats a huge advantage for us, because it would be awful if we had to relearn how to drive after every vacation. The problem is that your brain cant tell the difference between bad and good habits, and so if you have a bad one, its always lurking (蛰伏) there, waiting for the right cues and rewards. This explains why its so hard to create exercise habits, for instance, or change what we eat. Once we develop a routine of sitting on the sofa, rather than runing, or snacking whenever we pass a doughnut box, those patterns always remain inside our heads. By the same rule, though, if we learn to create new neurological (神经系统的) routines that overpower those behaviorsif we take control of the habit loopwe can force those bad tendencies into the background. And once someone creates a new pattern, studies have demonstrated, going for a jog or ignoring the doughnuts becomes as automatic as any other habit. Of course, those decisions are habitual, effortless. As long as your basal ganglia (基底核) is complete and the cues remain constant, the behaviors will occur unthinkingly. At the same time, however, the brains dependence on automatic routines can be dangerous. Habits are often as much a curse as a benefit. ()61. What can we learn about the habit loop from the first two paragraphs?A. It helps your brain understand what is worth remembering. B. It is a threestep loop consisting of a cue, a routine and a reward. C. It becomes automatic and develops a sense of anticipation and desire. D. It reveals a basic truth that the pattern of a habit wilt unfold automatically. ()62. The advantage of habits never really disappearing is that _A. we can easily change what we eat B. we develop a routine of sitting on the sofaC. we dont necessarily learn a skill again D. we can distinguish between bad and good habits()63. What can be inferred from the last sentence in Paragraph 4?A. Habits can be changed and replaced. B. Habits can not be ignored or created. C. Old patterns always exist in our brain. D. New patterns seldom remain in our heads. ()64. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The discovery of the habit loop. B. The automatic pattern of habits. C. The research on the habitforming process. D. The brains dependence on automatic routines.
