Many people have prosopagnosia, or face blindness, which is a neurological（神經(jīng)病學(xué)的） condition where the part o the brain that recognizes faces fails to develop. It can stop people recognizing partners, family members, friends or even their own reflection. It was once though to be caused by brain injury (acquired prosopagnosia) but now a geic link has been proved (development prosopagnosia). Acquired prosopagnosia is a very rare but as many as one in 50 people may have developmental prosopagnosia. There’s no specific treatment, but training programmes are being developed to help improve facial recognition. For many, the situation can be dangerous. I’ve heard stories of people being robbed by strangers claiming to be family members, or of children wandering off strange men. It was only is this century that researchers began to realize exactly how many people in this world were quietly living with the condition. Like a blind person who can recognize family members by their footsteps, prosopagnosics are forced to develop unusual ways of discovering who it is they’re meeting or talking to. From the obvious markers like hair and voice, to the way one sits, stands or walks, they rely on dozens of means to get through ordinary life. Faces are an important part of identity. Not to be recognized feels terrible—it’s as if you’ve been overlooked, like someone’s saying you don’t matter. But it’s nothing to the pain of knowing that you’re hurting people’s feelings constantly, and yet being pletely unaware that you’re doing it in the moment. To be alienated（隔離的） from the world of faces is a strange position to be in, but I’m forted by the thought that articles like this will do a little to help people five me and others like me. 12. Why do some people have developmental prosopagnosia? A. Mainly due to brain injury. B. Mainly due to their life styles. C. Mainly for biological reasons. D. Mainly for psychological reasons. 13. What can we learn about prosopagnosia? A. We can do nothing to deal with it. B. One fifth of people suffer from it. C. It can be cured by training programmes. D. Developmental prosopagnosia is more mon. 14. Like a blind person, people with prosopagnosia ________. A. depend on their families for a normal life. B. are embarrassed about their condition. C. are usually laughed at by other people. D. have special ways to recognize people 15. What can we infer about people with prosopagnosia from the last paragraph? A. They are unfriendly to others. B. They feel hurting others doesn’t matter. C. They often make others feel ignored. D. They avoid municating with others. 【答案】 12. C 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 這是一篇議論文。本文主要講述了如何獲得自我價(jià)值，增強(qiáng)自尊心。故 A選項(xiàng)正確。 10. 推理判斷題。由文中第三段的最后 To feel worthwhile, you’ll have to really work at it and never give up on ，本段主要講了我們應(yīng)該怎樣改變自己。故 C 選項(xiàng)正確。第一段主要講了 Marjorie在她的成長(zhǎng)過(guò)程中，父親對(duì)她的否定使得她喪失信心，覺(jué)得自己無(wú)用，越是想證明自己有用，越是取得相反的結(jié)果，最終她也開始懷疑自己。但是一個(gè)人是否有自我價(jià)值并不只是由這些話語(yǔ)決定的，而是取決于自己，自己主動(dòng)對(duì)社會(huì)的貢獻(xiàn)也能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)自我價(jià)值。人們自我價(jià)值的認(rèn)知多源于家庭的認(rèn)可，以及親戚，朋友，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的話語(yǔ)。 C Marjorie grew up with a sense of worthlessness. Again and again her father said she would never acplish anything in life. He told her she was a loser and that anything she did was sure to end in failure. With these words constantly ringing in her ears she grew up looking for someone who would love her and see her as a person of worth. This led her into relationships that disappointed her, ending in pain yet, which was another proof that she was worthless and unlovable. Where does our sense of selfworth e from? It is true that the foundation for a person’s selfworth is laid in the home. Words that we hear in our home can build or tear down our worth. Encouraging words are words of life to us while words of criticism are words of death. Other people like teachers, friends and employers add to the collection of lifegiving death words in a person’s heart. Over time a person begins to see themselves in the light of these words. In this situation can one develop a sense of worth? Feeling worthless is possibly the most obvious symptom of low selfesteem（自尊心） . But it’s easy to overe. However tough your childhood is, you can still choose to enrich the world every day simply by the way you interact with others and make caring decisions. Whether we contribute anything or not is a choice. Feeling worthless means that you’re not doing as well in the areas that matter to you and therefore you need to try to increase your selfesteem. To feel worthwhile, you’ll have to really work at it and never give up on yourself. All human beings are capable of adding value to society, including you. Thus there are no excuses for saying things like “I’m worthless, stupid, useless” because you have the choice not to be any of these things. 8. From Paragraph 1, we can know that ________. A. Marjorie was a very confident woman B. fathers decide children’s future development C. family education affects children’s growth D. children shouldn’t follow their parents’ advice 9. The third paragraph mainly shows us ________. A. what is selfesteem B. why we feel worthless C. when we should make a choice D. how we should change ourselves 10. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. all of us can contribute to s
