17、he Centers history. B My dog, Harvey, is always looking for something to do. He loves to fetch the ball, run after birds shadows and bite bones. If none of those are available, hell find something else to do. Hell chew our shoes, dig holes in the garden or take toilet paper off the roll. This is one
18、 reason why we gave him a middle name: Danger. Harvey Danger is a metaphor（比喻）for my mind. He is like an active and creative mind. My experience with having a creative mind is that if I dont give it a task, something will turn on itself. To be frank, several years ago, I didnt think I was creative.
19、I was just an ordinary human sticking to my daily routine. But things changed when I came across an article written by Bren Brown. She put forward a theory I had never heard of. Therere no such beings as creative people or non-creative people. Therere only people who use their creativity and people
20、who dont, Brown wrote. Unused creativity is not benign （ 良 性 的 ). It can metastasize and turn into anger, sorrow, shame and depression. I have a mind that is all of those things combined and, if it doesnt have anything to take its attention, it will go searching for things. It tends to do negative t
21、hings or find things like worries or troubles to focus on. That doesnt mean that those with creative minds need to be busily thinking all the time. What it means is that our minds need a task. Its about releasing our creative energy to keep our minds healthy. Before I throw a ball to Harveybecause i

25、n the garden. D.Keep a creative brain occupied with tasks. C Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen
26、or experienced it before. Landscape (风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie
27、sought out the same place where ThomasCole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular c
28、hange in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom. Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is re
29、al? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancie
30、nt forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods. Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the f
31、aces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings. 28. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means _ .

34、he arts. D. Basic questions of the arts. D Smile! It makes everyone in the room feel better because they, consciously or unconsciously, are smiling with you. Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry(模仿) allows us to empathize（产生共 鸣） with and even experience other peoples feelings.
35、If we cant mirror another persons face, it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions. A review of this emotional mirroring appears on February 11 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. In their paper, Paula Niedenthal and Adrienne Wood, social psychologists at the University of Wi
36、sconsin, describe how people in social situations copy others facial expressions to create emotional responses in themselves. For example, if youre with a friend who looks sad, you might “try on” that sad face yourself without realizing youre doing so. In “trying on” your friends expression, it help
37、s you to recognize what theyre feeling by associating it with times in the past when you made that expression. Humans get this emotional meaning from facial expressions in a matter of only a few hundred milliseconds. “You reflect on your emotional feelings and then you generate some sort of recognit
38、ion judgment, and the most important thing that results in is that you take the appropriate actionyou approach the person or you avoid the person,” Niedenthal says. “Your own emotional reaction to the face changes your perception of how you see the face in such a way that provides you with more info
39、rmation about what it means.” A persons ability to recognize and “share” others emotions can be prevented when they cant mimic faces. This is a common complaint for people with motor diseases, like facial paralysis(瘫痪) from a stroke, or even due to nerve damage from plastic surgery. Niedenthal notes
40、 that the same would not be true for people who suffer from paralysis from birth, because if youve never had the ability to mimic facial expressions, you will have developed compensatory ways of interpreting emotions. People with social disorders associated with mimicry or emotion-recognition damage
41、, like autism(自闭 症), can experience similar challenges. “There are some symptoms in autism where lack of facial mimicry may in part be due to limitation of eye contact,” Niedenthal says. Niedenthal next wants to explore what part in the brain is functioning to help with facial expression recognition
42、. A better understanding of that part, she says, will give us a better idea of how to treat related disorders. 32. According to the passage, facial mimicry helps _. A. experience ones own feelings clearly B. change others emotions quickly C. respond to others expressions properly D. develop friendsh

A. people with motor diseases may also suffer from autism B. people born with facial paralysis may still recognize emotions C. people with social disorders cant have eye contact with others D. people receiving plastic surgery have

A. how we can treat brain disorders B. what can be done to regain facial mimicry C. how our brain helps us with emotional mirroring D. what part of our brain helps recognize facial expression 35. T
45、he passage is written to _.

Reading a poem repeatedly will deepen your understanding of it. Sometimes a poem that seems dull on first reading becomes cle
47、ar with additional readings. 36 And sometimes youre just not in the right state the first time you read a poem, but later it touches you strongly. _37_ Poets are fond of using unusual words. Instead of skipping over these words or trying to determine their meanings based on context（语境）, look them up
48、. Read aloud and listen to the poem. 38 Some poems are written to be heard, not read. Other poems have unclear structures and hearing a poets reading will clarify the poems rhythm. A reading can even have a fine effect on a poems meaning, depending on where the poet places stress or pauses that arent seen within the text. Ask questions about the poem. After you finish reading a poem, take a few moments to raise questions. What is it about? What might have inspired it? Could it be fictional? Does the poem have
