It is the time when I realize that the books my English teacher assigned to me
10、are not going to read themselves and that I have a difficult month in front of me.You might think that I dont want to spend my summer reading, but thats not the problem. I love reading. On the first day of my summer holiday this year, I went to the library and got “A Gathering of Old Men” by African
11、-American writer Ernest Gaines. I enjoyed it very much. I read all the magazines that my parents subscribe to and spend about 30 minutes every day with the morning paper.So why do I hate summer reading for school? Because the books on summer reading lists are often slow-going and just uninviting. Te
12、achers and librarians dont understand that summer reading can be entertaining as well as educational.

14、eople read it as a 14-year-old boy on his summer vacation.“The Age of Innocence” is the story of a forbidden romance in New York 100 years ago. At 14, my only experience with romance was my love for baseball. I couldnt imagine being in love, much less being in love in 1900. “The Age of Innocence” wa
15、s totally different to my life.Most of my required summer reading has been like that books written in a style that plays up the adjectives and plays down the verbs. I guess teachers dont think exciting plots make for “good literature”. To me, though, a good writer describes events and characters in
16、a way that makes the reader want to know what happens next.If I were making up a summer reading list, it would include “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” by George V. Higgins. “The Right Stuff” by Tom Wolfe and “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. These are all books that have literary value but，just as impor

Quite unexpectedly, however, his pleading was refused. The Minister turned to the deputy prime minister, but he got turned down as

He tried his best to persuade the university officials to change their decision, only to be greeted with a declaration from Oxford: “We adm
24、it that Prime Minsters proposal comes out of concern for the students from less developed areas, but it is unacceptable. There is but one reason: On matters of enrolment (招生), no one has the right to change the interview conclusion the professors draw. This is hundreds of years of tradition of Oxfor

30、 white matter. Grey matter processes information much like a computer, while white matter controls communications between the different regions of the brain.The research team did some research on the relationship between the amount of grey matter and individual differences in pain sensitivity in 116
31、 healthy volunteers. Pain sensitivity was tested by rating the participants degree of their pain when a small spot of skin on their arm or leg was heated to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. After pain sensitivity testing, participants went through scans that recorded images of their brain structure.“Subjects
32、 with higher pain ratings had less grey matter in brain regions that contribute to thoughts inside the brain and control of attention,” said Nichole Emerson, first author of the study. These regions include the posterior cingulated cortex, precuneus and areas of the posterior parietal cortex, she sa
33、id.The posterior cingulated cortex and precuneus are part of the default mode network, a set of connected brain regions that are associated with the free-flowing thoughts that people have while they are daydreaming.“Default mode activity may compete with brain activity that contributes to an experie
34、nce of pain, such that individuals with high default mode activity would have reduced sensitivity to pain,” Coghill said. Areas of the posterior parietal cortex play an important role in attention. Individuals who can best keep their attention focused may also be best at keeping pain under control,
35、Coghill said.“These kinds of structural differences can provide a foundation for the development of better tools for the diagnosis, classification, treatment and even prevention of pain.” He said.29.
