10、 New Zealander Guy Cotter, 50, owner of Adventure Consultants, which has led 19 expeditions to Everest (珠穆朗玛峰). “Everest is big business for Nepal, and it will never turn down the money.” Another way to make the mountain safer is with technology, says Conrad Anker, 50, who led our expedition in 2012

18、daughter was not always easy.One weekend visit home, I stood in her kitchen and surveyed her food preparation techniques.“You know,” I said, “theres no nutrition left when you overcook the vegetables like that.”She smiled at me patiently and said, “Oh my! Its a miracle (奇迹) that after all these year
19、s, my kid even survived at all!” Survive we did. Moms meals were simple but well-balanced. My sisters and I grew up with a variety of food on our family table. When it came to vegetables, we ate almost everythingfrom green chilies to turnip greens.On school mornings, Mom switched on our bedroom ligh
20、t to silently tell us it was time to get up. Then shed rush to the kitchen to make a nourishing (有营养的) breakfast wed eat before heading out the door.In the summer, Mom always had fresh tomatoes and plenty of zucchini in her garden and on the dinner table. And I learned to love green beans from visit
21、s to our cousins. My aunt would sit me on the back porch (门廊) and have me take the ends off fresh beans. Years later I would learn that kids are more likely to accept foods when they are involved with them in some way.One thing surprised me at the time but became very clear after I had a child mysel
22、f. My mother LOVED it when I took the initiative (主动) to prepare a meal. She went back to work when I was in high school, so I was often the first one home. One day, after Id finished homework and taken care of the dogs and horses, I decided to try a recipe from one of Moms cookbooks.It wasnt a perf
23、ect meal. But when she got home and saw the table set and dinner ready, she was so happy. That was an enjoyable moment for me.Now I understand that food is only one way we receive nutrition.

27、ous food.C. To stress the importance of having meals with our families.D. To share the authors thoughts about her moms cooking.DArt has always been a polarizing (分化的) subject. Some people like realism, others like abstract. But do you know why some people value art in the millions, while others see
28、the same piece as little more than a childs finger painting?Many consider art to be quite random in terms of our likes and dislikes. But according to new research, there may actually be a scientific reason behind our fondness for certain works. The answer lies in how a persons brain breaks down the
29、visuals (视觉效果) of a painting combined with their judgment.To prove their theory, neuroscientist (神经科学家) Kiyohito Iigaya and his team from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) gathered more than 1,300 volunteers and asked them to rate 825 different paintings from four different art genres
30、 (类型).After analyzing the data, scientists found that the same groups of people tended to prefer similar aspects of the same paintings. These characteristics were then grouped into “low-level” features like color and blending, and “high-level” features like the emotion behind the painting.From this
31、experiment, Caltechs system was then able to predict an individuals specific taste in art and organize different works into one group, according to the paintings features and volunteers preferences.In a second test, researchers repeated the experiment on six volunteers, showing each 1,000 paintings
32、while inside an MRIa machine that scans a persons brain activity. The test revealed (揭示) that the different features of a painting are sent to the part of the brain that deals with valuing items, allowing someone to form their overall opinion. Finally, the team repeated the first test on new volunte
33、ers. Again, the algorithm (算法) was able to accurately predict individuals art preferences. According to Iigaya, this shows that the factors that contribute to whether a person likes an image are universal, not random.Lesley Fellows, a neurologist at McGill University who studies value judgments, sta
34、ted, “We know a lot about how the brain carries out actions, but why is far less well understood.”12. What did the Caltech team try to discover?A. What kinds of artwork appeal to people.B. Why only some people value art.C. Whether an individuals preference for art is predictable.D. Whether ones mood
35、 influences their opinion of artwork. 13. How did the Caltech teams first experiment help their second test?A. Some features of paintings were categorized(分类).B. It helped decide the types of paintings to be used.C. Part of the brain to process paintings was identified.D. Volunteers were grouped bas
36、ed on their response.14. What did the Caltech team find from their second test?A. The brain reacted differently to different paintings.B. MRIs influence peoples opinion of paintings.C. Individuals have different valuing systems in their brain.D. A certain part of the brain helps people judge paintin
37、gs.15. Why does the author quote Lesley Fellows words in the last paragraph?A. To question the Caltech teams research.B. To approve of the research on why we make value judgments.C. To show there is still a lot left to learn about the brain.D. To point out the focus of the future brain research.第二节

Indeed, a 2005 report in the journal Nature found it to be only slightly less reliable than Encyclopedia Britannica._20_ I
