While we get on well with a number of people, 71 ． Moreover, a great many relationships e under the general term “friendship”．In all cases，two people like one another and enjoy being together，but beyond that，the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly． At the beginning, much depends on how people meet，and on good first impressions. As weget to know people, 72 . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance，it is moredifficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background． Then, 73 ．Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friends．Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness，and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare，and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness． Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion，but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs，the same opinion and interests. The more closely involved people bee．the more they depend on each other. And 74 . Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits，and to accept differences in opinion. In contrast with marriage, 75 .

The idea that a human brain could be transplanted (移植) may e from Frankenstein. In 1999, an experiment turned a bear into a dolphin (海豚). 72 They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They had a series of useful information, which was saved into a button – sized chip (芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain. 73 It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin. Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Rescarch Instance of the University of California. The experiment bad an entire transplant of the memory area. 74 The transplant was performed from a dog named Cenius to a dog named idiot. Cenius could follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, Idiot had no contact with people since its birth. It because an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory. 75 When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Cenius possessed。 it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any mand given by its master. But Cenius gave no response to its master, and did not recognize him at all. A．The experiment was a plete success. B．It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. C．Then it was released (釋放) by means of electric power. D．Different images have different meanings in the memory area. E．Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced. F．Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain. G．One of the latest topics is how to change the human brain or bine it with the puter. （十） Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all alraid of making foods of ourselves. 66 . But stop biting your fingermails. Public speaking is easy . It’s just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although I’m basically shy (honest!). I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. And I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent．_ 67 .Here are some of the lessons I have learned: Your aud ience is going to e away with one or two of your main ideas．One or two．Not ten or twenty． 68 ．And if you don39。t have a clear idea of what you want to say, there39。s no way vour audience will． 69 ___—how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you39。re going to close．
