27、feeling a little depressed lately.This incident stuck in my mind because it strengthened my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didnt find out we weredepressed until we were in high school.The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily i
28、n recent years.Children dont seem childlike any more.Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists Why?Human development i
29、s based not only on bom biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth gr
30、aders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years. however, a secret-revelation machine has been fixed in 98 percent of American homes.It is called television. Television passes information, indiscriminately, to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resi
31、st the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivId moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a c

36、rt yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons(#l13/)in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something. our brain imitate(模仿)it, whether or not
37、 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 pe
38、ople.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 fecl. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they
39、gave people sentences to listen to(for example: The hand took hold of the ball ). the same mirror neurons were triggered 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 rescarc
40、h 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 conce
41、rning how humans behave and Interact(互动). 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 doeswell perhaps you ll understand why.32. Mirror neurons
42、 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.33.

We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons A.determine our knowledge and language abilities.B.control human physical actions and feelings.C.result in bad behavior and social disorders.D.relate to human behavior and interaction.35. What is the passage mainly about?A.Functions of mirror ne
