The smaller dolphin，Grace，shows off a few of her tricks，turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her，however，is that she
8、s not even swimming at all. She doesnt have a tail. Grace lost her tail as a baby when she gotcaught up in a fish trap.

9、hertail didnt. She ended up losing her flukes and来源:学科网ZXXKthe lower part of her peduncle.Over the past six years，she has learned to swim without her tail.

15、ng that we must treasure what we have.D. It encourages us to face difficulties bravely. C Most damagingly, anger weakens a persons ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour. The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that
16、 arouses his anger. Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another. The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces. In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered t
17、oo socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard duels (决斗) as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one persons awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another. Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most conditions EEG (脑电图) m
18、easures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal (额叶前部) areas. Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition (意向) that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas arent ba
19、lanced and, as a result of this, were likely to react. And our behavioral response to anger is different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative. Most positive emotions are associated with approach behavior: we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions, in contr
20、ast, are associated with avoidance behaviour: we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern. The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as
21、 offensive anger: the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry (不对称) of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can exp
22、erience empathy (同感) towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response. In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.8. The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the exp

What changes can be found in an angry brain? A. Balanced electrical activity can be spotted. B. Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal
