This opinionholds a certain appeal because if it were true, then we could instantlv become ten times moreintelligent just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain! The idea that we use only a small part of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the19th century. When scientists stimulated (刺激) a specific part. of the brain, the animal movedits leg or tail. If a tiny part of the brain could do something so great, what was the use of therest of the brain? Some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless. Then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain parts of thebrain had no physical effects. They named these seemingly useless parts of the brain the silentcortex. Today we know that in humans, much of the silent cortex is actually devoted tocomplex activities like language, learning, and imagining. Brain scans have shown that different parts of the brain become much more active as weshift (切换) our attention and focus, but even as we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremelyactive. Would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum capacity (能力)?Interestingly enough, the opposite is probably true. The less brain activity you need to performa given task, the more the brain as a whole is able to do.28. Why does the opinion mentioned in paragraph l seem appealing? A.

A. sensitive to stimulation B. useful in complex activities C. responsible for physical reaction D. more active than the other parts of the brain31. If you need less brain activity to perform a task, _. A. you will feel sleepy B. you must shift your focus C. you can use your brain to the fullest D. you will be more productive D Most people think about donating blood. However. Very few actuallv do it. Even the mostconsistent ones donate an average of just three to four times during their lifetime. Now theofficials in Sweden are trying to change the trend with the help of modern-day technology. The encouragement to donate again begins shortly after the donor leaves the clinic when he/shereceives a thank you text. Though that certainlv helps them feel appreciated, what is evenmore pleasing is the text they receive each time their blood is used to help someone in need. Karolina Wiberg, manager of the Stockholm blood service, believes this small gesture notonly results in repeat donors, but helps bring in new ones. The program that was started inStockholm has received such positive feedback that it is now being rolled out across the country. However, Swedish officials are not stopping there. They are also encouraging local clinicsto publish the exact levels of the different blood groups they have at any given time on theirwebsites. This allows potential donors to realize that their blood can make a difference in savingsomeone s life. While all these outreach programs are great, busy citizens, even the ones with the best intentionshave to be occasionally reminded. In order to jog their memories, officials ask people forauthorization to send them text, Facebook, and e-mail reminders. Though that may sounddisturbing, the citizens do not seem to mind, given that the messages are light-hearted andfun-things like We wont give up until you bleed. Though Sweden is currently the only country using modern technology to urge more donations,dont be surprised if more join in, especially if the Nordic (北欧) countrys blood banks startto overflow!32.

Nordic blood banks are in great need of blood.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Five Things Ambitious People Never Say “I cant do this-its too hard.
