When we use a foreign language, we unconsciously sink into the more careful way simply because the effort of operating in our nonnative language signals our cognitive (認(rèn)知的) system to prepare for difficult activity. Most people agree that they would. But what if the only way to stop the trolley is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path? People tend to be very hesitant to say they would do this, even though in both situations, one person is sacrificed to save five. But Costa and his colleagues found that presenting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one.

So, when our body needs extra energy, one of the places it goes is our immune function.”可知我們的身體里有大量的免疫細(xì)胞,暫時停止運(yùn)作是可以的。特里弗斯合作研究身體是如何使用能量的,他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)解釋了這一現(xiàn)象。Energy, effort and response【答案】 (1)C(2)D(3)D(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,研究表明,老年人往往會記住生活中積極的事物,而不是消極的事物。Ancestors, emergency and evolutionB.Brain, muscles and immune systemRealizing that their days are numbered, older people prefer being positive.D.Younger people adopt strategies of handling tense situations from everyday life.B.optimism and length of life(3)What can be concluded from Robert Trivers39。happiness and biological evolutionC.experiences and related knowledgeimmune system will temporarily shut down to fulfill itD.muscles will respond to it by relaxing a little bitB.re happy, but to slow down dramatically when we39。s cold.
