What Cocktail Parties Teach Us
You’re at a party. Music is playing. Glasses are clinking. Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝) level. Yet among all those distractions, you can tune your attention to just one voice from many. This ability is what researchers call the “cocktail-party effect”.
Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain — in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain, “it’s as if only one person was speaking alone,” says investigator Edward Chang.
These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren’t very good at multitasking — our brains are wired for “selective attention” and can focus on only one thing at a time. That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with visual and auditory stimulation (刺激). But we keep trying to push the limits with multitasking, sometimes with tragic (悲剧的) consequences. Drivers talking on cellphones, for example, are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren’t.
Many of those accidents are due to “inattentional blindness”, in which people can, in effect, turn a blind eye to things they aren’t focusing on. The more attention a task demands, the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision. Images land on our retinas (视网膜) and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain, just as the auditory cortex filters sounds, as shown in the Nature study last week. “It’s a push-pull relationship — the more we focus on one thing, the less we can focus on others,” says Diane M. Beck, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.
Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation, not the device, that is distracting their attention. Those talking on any kind of cellphone react more slowly and miss more traffic signals than other motorists.
Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important — like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole. Many more think they can effectively multitask, but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either, experts say.
1、What have scientists in University of California found about “the cocktail-party effect”?
A．Usually there is only one person who is speaking alone.
B．All kinds of annoying sounds drive up the decibel level.
C．The higher brain processes sounds and images selectively.
D．Sounds are sorted out before reaching the higher brain.
2、What do we learn from the passage?
A．We are biologically incapable of multitasking.
B．We survive distractions in life by multitasking.
C．We cannot multitask without extra attention.
D．We benefit from pushing the limit with multitasking.
3、Which of the following is an example of “inattentional blindness”?
A．A careless driver lost his eyesight after a car accident.
B．Police scanned the crowds and located the criminal.
C．A manager talked on a hands-free phone with his client.
D．A pedestrian had a car accident because of phubbing (低头).
4、The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A．compare and contrast
B．inform and explain
C．argue and discuss
D．examine and evaluate

B
Education is not a bystanders sport. Numerous researchers have shown that when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive attitudes promote learning. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom discussion and score lower than boys on SATs.
We found that at all grade levels in all communities and in all subject areas boys controlled classroom communication. They participated in more interactions than girls did, and their participation became greater as the year went on.
Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls control classroom communication in reading while boys in math. We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boys got more than their fair share of teacher attention. That teachers talk more to male students is simply because boys are more aggressive in grabbing their attention by calling out answers to the teachers’ questions first. While girls sit patiently with their hands raised or keep silent. Psychologist Lisa Serbin and K.Daniel O’Leary, then at the state university of New York at stony brook studied classroom interaction at preschool level and found that teachers gave boys more attention, praised them more often and were at least twice as likely to have extended conversations with them.
Years of experience have shown that the best way to learn something is to do it yourself. It is also important to give students specific and direct feedback about the quality of their work and answers. Teachers behave differently depending on whether boys or girls are active to provide answers during discussions. During classroom discussion, teachers in our study reacted to boys answers with powerful, precise and effective responses, while they often gave girls mild and unclear reactions because of their silence. Too often, girls remain in the dark about the quality of their answers. Active students receiving precise feedback are more likely to achieve academically. And they are more likely to be boys.
This kind of communication game is played at work, as well as at school. As reported in numerous studies, it goes like this.
※Men speak more often and frequently interrupt women.
※ Listeners recall more from male speakers than from female speakers, even when both use a similar speaking style and cover the same content.
※Women participate less actively in conversation. They do more smiling and gazing, and they are more often the passive by standers in professional and social conversations among peers.
※Women often their own statements into unsure comments. This is accomplished by using qualifiers and by adding tag question. These uncertain patterns weaken impact and signal a lack of power and influence.
Only when girls are active and treated equally in the classroom will they be more likely to achieve equality in the workplace.
1、What does the authors mean when they say“Education is not a bystanders sport.”?
A．Both boys and girls should do more sports.
B．The girl students should be the audience to watch the boy students’ discussions.
C．The boy students should not be too active in the classroom discussions.
D．Both boy and girl students should take an active part in the classroom discussions.
2、Which of the following is Not true?
A．Girls’ scores are lower than boys on SATs.
B．Girls control classroom discussion in reading while boys in maths.
C．Boys control classroom discussion in both reading and maths.
D．Boys are more confident in calling out answers to catching the teachers’ attention.
3、The factors that contribute to the students’ effective learning are the following except__________
A．The students can take an active part in the classroom discussion.
B．The students do it themselves.
C．Teachers can give students specific and direct feedback the quality of their work and answers.
D．Students transform their own statements into uncertain comments.
