Jill Watson: a Real Teaching Assistant D. The Inter Has a Strong Impact on Our Life D No one enjoys hearing the sound of someone else chewing their food. Most of the time, though, it’s not that big a deal but a minor annoyance. But for a small group of people with misophonia (恐音癥 ), the sound can be painful, causing extreme anger and deep disfort. The most ordinary sounds of chewing and breathing can drive them crazy. Past attempts to explain the causes of misophonia have suggested everything from pulsive disorder to an easilyannoyed personality but according to a study published yesterday in the journal Current Biology, the true criminal is the structure of the brain. For the study, a team of researchers led by Newcastle University neuroscientist Sukhbinder Kumar recruited (招募 ) 42 volunteers, of whom around half had extreme misophonia and the other half served as the control group, and played them several different noises: some ordinary。 and some that were ordinary for the control group but known to be annoying for misophonics, people with misophonia, like the sound of breathing. As the participants listened, the researchers monitored them for signs of anxiety, both physical symptoms and behavioral expressions, and observed their brain activity using FMRI scans. The only significant difference in reaction between the two groups happened, during the misophoniaspecific sounds, when those with the condition showed physical changes that suggested they were entering fightorflight mode. Misophonics had increased activity in the AIC, an area known to play a central role in the system that determines which things we should pay attention to. When the trigger sounds were played, there was not only more activity in this region but also abnormally high levels of connection to other regions. Misophonia, in other words, may be a result of misplaced attention the brain of a misophonic focuses on things that other people normally tune out (不予理會(huì) ). On a related note, on behalf of misophonics and mannersminded moms everywhere: Please, chew with your mouth closed. 32. What is the true criminal of misophonia? A. Sounds of chewing and breathing. B.

Students often e across new knowledge in different areas that they need to store for exams. 36. Here are three effective ways to improve your memory as a student. ● 37 Research shows that learning activities that take more than two hours without a break are less productive when pared to those that take one hour or 30 minutes. Students are likely to remember things they learn over a short period of time. Make sure you take breaks between learning sessions to help improve your memory. ● Try to relax Relaxing should be an essential part of your learning process. Scientists have proven that stronger and lasting memories ca
