23． (8 分) Teary-Eyed Stories from Strangers The Man at the Market
When the supermarket clerk summed up my groceries, it was $12 over what I had on me. I began to remove items from the bags, when another shopper handed me a $20 bill. “Please don’t put yourself out,” I told him.
“Let me tell you a story,” he said. “My mother is in hospital with cancer. I visit her every day and bring her flowers. I went this morning, and she got mad at me for spending my money on more flowers. She demanded that I do something else with that money. So, here, please accept this. It is my mother’s flowers.”
A Family’s Food Angel
Since my mother lost her job, our family troubled new worries: no income, the same bills, and no way to afford groceries. It was around this time that she started finding boxes of food outside our door every morning. This went on for months, until she was able to land a job. We never did find out who it was and who left the groceries for us, but they truly saved our lives.
Seven Miles For Me

Leaving a store, I returned to my car only to find that I’d locked my keys and cell phone inside. A teenager riding
his bike saw me kick a tire and say a few choice words. “What’s wrong?” he asked.

I explained my situation. “But even if I could call my wife,” I said, “she can’t bring me her car key, since this isour only car.” He handed me his cell phone. “Call your wife and tell her I’m coming to get her key.”
“That’s seven miles round trip.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

An hour later, he returned with the key. I offered him some money, but he refused.“Let’s just say I needed the exercise,” he said. Then, like a cowboy in the movies, he rode off into the sunset.
Breaking Bread
Last December, before work, I stopped at a deli (熟食店) and ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese. It was toasty warm, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. But as I left the store, I noticed an older indigent gentleman sitting at the bus stop. Knowing it would probably be his only warm meal of the day, I gave him the bagel.
But all was not lost for me. Another customer from the deli offered me half of her bagel. I was so delighted because I realized that in one way or another, we are all looked after.

24． (8 分) By trying to tickle(挠痒痒) rats and recording how their nerve cells respond, Shimpei Ishiyama and his
adviser are discovering a mystery that has puzzled thinkers since Aristotle expected that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals.
It turns out that Aristotle was wrong. In their study published on Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael

Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy

changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so powerful that it causes an individual being tickled to lose control.
To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.
“It’s truly ground-breaking,” said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the
paper. “It takes the study of emotion to a new level.”

Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal tickling. He was part of a team that first noticed,

in the late 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats repeatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Let’s go and tickle some rats.” They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.
“The authors have been very adventurous,” said Daniel O’Connor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins Univ sity who studies touch. To him, that finding was very surprising.
“Why does the world literally feel different when you are stressed out?” he said. “This is the first step towards answering that question. It gives us a way to approach it with experimental rigor(严谨).”
1、 What contributed to humans’ being ticklish according to Aristotle?
A． Their special skin. B． Their social pleasure.
C． Their nervous system. D． Their willingness to touch.
2、 Why did the researchers make use of electrical currents?
A． To discover the special group of nerve cells.
B． To experiment on different animals.
C． To follow the process of tickling.
D． To prove their finding.
3、 Which of the following statements will Jeffrey Burgdorf agree with?
A． The research process is full of risks.
B． The finding of the study is surprising and unbelievable.
C． The new discovery is beneficial for the study of emotion.
D． The finding of the study actually contradicts modern science.
