He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects.

A. The team said they also found additional reduction in activity in two regions of the prefrontal cortex (前額皮質(zhì)) linked to the sense of self, pared with when the actors were responding as themselves. Each actor was asked to respond to different questions, based on two different premises (前提). In one, they were asked for their own perspective, while in the other, they were asked to respond as though they were either Romeo or Juliet. Brown and colleagues report how 15 actors, mainly theatre students, were trained to take on a Shakespeare role — either Romeo or Juliet — in a theatre workshop. They were then invited into the laboratory, where their brains were scanned in a series of experiments. Dr Steven Brown, from McMaster University in Canada, said, It looks like when you are acting, you are suppressing (壓制) yourself。s head has always been something of a puzzle.3．犇犇閱讀理解 C項(xiàng)正好與主旨句呼應(yīng)，故選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。所以說，相較于老年人，年輕人的大腦花費(fèi)更少的時(shí)間來處理信息。根據(jù)第一段中的最后兩句可知，年輕時(shí)之所以覺得日子似乎更長(zhǎng)是因?yàn)榇竽X能夠以“快速射擊”的方式處理更多信息
