内蒙古集宁一中2015-2016学年高一下学期英语期中考试试卷
“Three Apples” changed the world. The first one seduced(诱惑)Eve. The second one awakened Newton. Here are some famous words from Steve Jobs to share.
On the character
I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year.
On good design
That's been one of my mottos-focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex;You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there,you can move mountains.
On his outlook
Saying we've done something wonderful when going to bed at night. That's what matters to me.
On your working life
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. If you haven't found it yet,keep looking. Don't settle.
On the importance of death
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be,because Death is even likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you,but some day not too long from now,you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
A. It's very character-building.
B. The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs.
C. This is not a one-man show.
D. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
E. And yet death is the destination we all share.
F. It's really hard to design products by focusing on groups.
G. Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.
Every animal sleeps,but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} We know that, while awake,fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强)connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元)in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep,showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi's theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night's, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information —our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapscs become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.
A. We should also try to sleep well the night before. B. Ti's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories. C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick. D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories. E. That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning. F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea. G. Tononi's team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice. |
