18、alse answer to a question accompanied by that gesture. A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion, those of children are known to b
19、e particularly influenced, said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.Previous research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers; when aske
20、d, say “Did you drink juice at the picnic?” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available. It is not that the child is consciously lying, but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children
21、 only open- ended questions, such as “What did you have at the picnic?” But an open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question. That is，children become likely to answer falsely.And it isnt just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one
22、piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users such as little kids, Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. “It certainly seems reasonable tha
23、t adults would gesture more with children. In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be getting answers that dont reflect what actually happened. 24. What can we know about gestures from the t

Separate.CWhile scientists have been modifying(修改) plant genes for years in biotechnology, they usually focus on a few specific genes in order to get a particular result. Plants have tens of thousands of genes. T
27、he genetically modified product (GMP) wont be dramatically different from its natural one. It may have a few features that the natural version doesnt have but otherwise will remain identical.Some people worry that genetic modification, which introduces genes from one species into an entirely differe
28、nt species, could create new allergens ( 过 敏 原 ). In fact, it may turn out that the opposite is true. Depending on the food, scientists might be able to remove or prevent the proteins that act as allergens for some people. This isnt true for every food, but genetic markers scientists use could lead
29、to developing bacteria with a built-in resistance to antibiotics ( 抗生素). Scientists useantibiotic gene markers to link genes for the desired features. Also, by exposing modified plants cells to antibiotics, a scientist can confirm whether or not the genetic modification was successful.But what if th
30、at resistance could be passed on the bacteria? Its possible that bacteria in the soil around a plant with antibiotic resistance could pick up the DNA. The bacteria could, in theory, pass this feature to other types of bacteria harmful to humans. So far, however, scientists have been unable to transf
31、er antibiotic resistance genes from plants to bacteria.In the United States, farmers dont have to label genetically modified foods or products. Both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration have very strict regulations that products must pass before they can go to mar

Negative.C. Ambiguous.D. Indifferent.DIf you have ever talked about your dreams with your friends, you may have
36、 noticed something interesting. Some of your friends rarely remember their dreams, while others can describe their dreams very clearly. Why do people remember dreams differently?The answer is simple: they are two different types of dreamers - lowrecall dreamers and high-recall dreamers.According to
37、researchers at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center in France, high-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low recall dreamers said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month, reported Live Science.Perrine Ruby, a lead scientist at the research cen
38、ter in Lyon, studied 41 people （21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers） and recorded their brain activity.She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction （前颞顶叶交 界处）was more active in high-recall dreamers. This was true both when they were sleeping and awake.This a
39、rea of the brain is responsible for collecting and processing information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond more strongly to hearing their own names. When they are sleeping,
40、 they tend to be woken up more easily by sounds and movements.By closely studying peoples brain activity, Ruby found that high-recall dreamers have twice as much wakefulness during sleep as low-recall dreamers do. And it is during these short periods of wakefulness that the brain memorizes dreams.Th
41、is is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and soundly, you tend to remember very little in the morning. This is because “you never get a chance to remember”
42、, Robert Stick gold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, dream content can also affect our memory. Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams. Nightmares （噩梦）are often recalled because
43、they are emotionally negative, and such dreams evoke fear.32. What can we know about high-recall dreamers according to the article?A. They have very little brain activity when they sleep.B. They can remember their dreams clearly.C. They dont know how to describe their dreams.D. They remember their d
44、reams twice a week.33. What is the main purpose of the 8th paragraph?A. To explain Rubys findings.B. To attract readers interest in future studies.C. To show the advantages of being a low -recall dreamer.D. To suggest what to do to become a low recall dreamer.34. What did the research project in Fin
45、land find?A. Ordinary dreams can help our brain rest.B. Dreams are often affected by our emotions.C. Nightmares often happen when we dont sleep well.D.

48、It is one of the most common types of fear. 37 You can experience this kind of fear when playing sports, giving a talk, or even speaking in class. 38 The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical process occurs on each of us. In reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a chemica
