A.A manager talked on a handsfree phone with his client.B.We benefit from pushing the limit with multitasking.（3）Which of the following is an example of inattentional blindness? A.We cannot multitask without extra attention.B.Sounds are sorted out before reaching the higher brain.（2）What do we learn from the passage? A.The higher brain processes sounds and images selectively.B. Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important — like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole. Many more think they can effectively multitask, but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either, experts say.（1）What have scientists in University of California found about “the cocktailparty effect”? A.s a pushpull relationship — the more we focus on one thing, the less we can focus on others,” says Diane M. Beck, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois. Many of those accidents are due to “inattentional blindness”, in which people can, in effect, turn a blind eye to things they aren39。t very good at multitasking — our brains are wired for “selective attention” and can focus on only one thing at a time. That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with visual and auditory stimulation (刺激). But we keep trying to push the limits with multitasking, sometimes with tragic (悲劇的) consequences. Drivers talking on cellphones, for example, are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren39。s as if only one person was speaking alone,” says investigator Edward Chang.re at a party. Music is playing. Glasses are clinking. Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分貝) level. Yet among all those distractions, you can tune your attention to just one voice from many. This ability is what researchers call the “cocktailparty effect”.高一英語(yǔ)閱讀理解技巧 閱讀訓(xùn)練策略及練習(xí)題(含答案)含解析一、高中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解1．閱讀理解What Cocktail Parties Teach Us You39。 Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that soundediting process occurs in the brain — in the auditory cortex (聽(tīng)覺(jué)皮層) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain, “it39。 These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren39。t.t focusing on. The more attention a task demands, the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision. Images land on our retinas (視網(wǎng)膜) and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain, just as the auditory cortex filters sounds, as shown in the Nature study last week. “It39。 Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that drivers talking on handsfree cellphones are just as influenced as those on handsheld phones because it is the conversation, not the device, that is distracting their attention.

Rather than real animals, they are actually artworks made out of plastic trash from the ocean.s oceans.s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures harmed by plastic pollution.s National Zoo?
