Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone,
but that one’s muscles also participate. It may be said tha
t we think with our muscles in somewhat the
same way that we listen to music with our bodies.
You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but
with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving
their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic (
交响
乐的
) concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra (
乐队
) even though he knows there is
a competent conductor on the job.
Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible
enjoyment
from
music
unless
he
participates,
so
to
speak,
in
its
performance.
The
listener
“feels”
himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of the body.
The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but
this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.
1.

The process of thinking is different from that of listening in that __________.
A) the former is more serious
B) the latter is more enjoyable
C) muscle participation is less apparent to the former
D) the former is a mental process while the latter not
2.

Some psychologists believe that thinking is __________.
A)

only a mental process in the brain
B)

much more of a physical process than a mental action
C)

a process performed by the entire body
D)

a process involving the muscles as well as the brain
3.

The “pronounced motions” of the body is a music listener’s way of _
_________.
A)

enjoying and participating in the music
B)

expressing how he likes he music
C)

directing the orchestra playing the music
D)

performing with his body
4.

People enjoy the music fully with __________.
A) their ears B) their hands directing
C) their body movements D) their eyes and ears

Artificial
flowers
are
used
for
scientific
as
well
as
decorative
purposes.
They
are
made
from
a
variety of materials, such as wax and glass, so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from
natural flowers. In making such models, hard work and artistry (
艺术才能
) are called for, as well as
thorough knowledge of plant structures. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of
Harvard
University
is
the
most
famous
in
North
America
and
is
widely
known
throughout
the
scientific
world.
In
all,
there
are
several
thousand
models
in
colored
glass,
the
work
of
two
artist-
naturalists. Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph.
The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native
to the United States. Although it was never completed, it contains more than seven hundred species
representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases,
and thousands of flower plants and magnified details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in
color and structure. The models are kept in locked cases as they too valuable and weak for classroom
use.

It is inescapable fact that to most people there comes a time when failing powers of mind or body
made
it
impossible
for
them
to
manage
their
daily
lives
without
some
sort
of
help,
and
despite
the
weakened
sense
of
family
solidarity
(
团结
),
this
help
comes
in
many
cases
from
children,
other
relatives, or occasionally friends. When an old person or old couple gives up an independent home
and
becomes
part
of
another
household
it
does
not
mean
that
all
the
problems
of
old
age
are
automatically solved; the problems are different, not so pressing perhaps, and their solution lies more
with the younger relatives than with the older people themselves.
Caring for aged requires skills as well as goodwill. Much advice is now available for those caring
for
young
children
and
babies,
and
there
are
numerous
books
to
help
mothers
in
bringing
up
their
families,
but
as
far
as
I
know
little
has
been
written
about
the
day-to-day
care
of
old
people.
Fortunately
the
first
essentials,
sympathy
and
affection,
are
very
often
to
be
found,
and
will
carry
relatives,
friends
and
old
people
a
long
way,
but
not
the
whole
way,
without
these
two
virtues
the
work of caring for the old can be onerous (
繁重
) and unrewarding.
