Have you ever heard People say that they tend to be more of a right-brain or left-brain thinker?
From books to television programs, you have probably heard the term 1)C mentioned (提到)numerous times, or perhaps you have even taken an online test to 2)I determine which type best describes you.
Do different parts of the brain really control different bodily and mental functions? Over the
years, a theory that has 3)A gained in popularity is that the right brain and the left brain are
4)O responsible for different modes of thought and that the way in which a person thinks will
depend on which side of his brain works more actively.
People who rely more 5)F heavily on the right half of their brain tend to be more imaginative and spontaneous. They are interested in patterns, shapes and sizes, for the right brain is associated with 6)H artistic ability like singing, painting writing poetry, etc. Left-brain dominated people are quite 7)M opposite in the way they think. They tend to be more logical and 8)K analytical in their thinking and usually stand out in mathematics and word skills.
While the different functions of the two brain parts may have been 9)J distorted and exaggerated by popular psychology, understanding your strengths and weaknesses in certain areas can help you develop better ways to learn and study. For example, if you are usually 10)D stumped in trying to follow verbal instructions, an activity often cited as a right-brain characteristic, you can benefit from writing down directions and developing better organizational skills.
你听说过人们说他们更倾向于右脑或左脑思考者吗?从书本到电视节目,你可能听过很多次这个词,或者你甚至参加过一次在线测试我决定哪种类型最能描述你。
大脑的不同部分真的控制着不同的身体和精神功能吗?在多年来,一个广受欢迎的理论是右脑和左脑负责不同的思维方式,以及一个人的思维方式取决于他的大脑哪一边工作得更积极。
那些严重依赖右脑的人往往更富有想象力和自发性。他们对图案、形状和尺寸感兴趣,因为右脑与唱歌、绘画、写诗等艺术能力有关。左脑占主导地位的人的思维方式完全相反。他们在思维上更具逻辑性和分析性,在数学和单词技巧上也更突出。
虽然这两个大脑部分的不同功能可能被大众心理学扭曲和夸大了,但是了解你在某些领域的优势和弱点可以帮助你找到更好的学习和学习方法。例如,如果你经常被困在遵循口头指示的过程中,这种活动通常被认为是右脑的特征,那么你可以从写下指示和培养更好的组织能力中获益。

I was once in a relationship with a woman who was the most brilliant,creative and driven
person I'd ever known. I told her these things often because she didn't see herself this way despite 1)J achieving great success and acclaim(称赞)in her professional field. She was also 2)M gorgeous and sexy, though she seemed not to realize this either, so I told her these things too. But while I thought it was more important to praise her brilliance, it seemed to mean more to her that she was 3)L considered attractive.(被认为)
My experience with this girlfriend exemplifies a common phenomenon in life-when it comes
to complimenting a woman,men often walk a very difficult line. Of course, 4)B context matters. In a professional setting, talking about appearance is often inappropriate, but at a singles club, it may be important. She will be very pleased if a man thinks her clothes and 5)I accessories are pretty, or her hair looks wonderful. However, things in between these two cases are unclear. Women have every right to be recognized and 6)A appreciated for their intelligence and creativity. But at the same time, they want to be admired for their looks as well, for example, their perfect skin 7)H complexion and elegant outfits.(天然肤色)
Unfortunately, most guys don’t understand this. If we receive compliments from women, they're usually about our achievements, not our looks. Most of us don't expect a woman to tell us how 8)O handsome or sexy we are, and some of us would find it hard to regard such a(n)9)D comment as sincere.
I'm not saying it's very hard to be a guy these days.It is important for every man to
understand how to treat women with both respect and 10)F admiration. But as far as the right balance of these two is concerned, we really have no frame of reference, especially when it comes to looks.
我曾经和一个最聪明、最有创造力、最有动力的女人交往过
我认识的人。我经常告诉她这些事情,因为尽管我取得了巨大的成功和好评,但她并没有这样看待自己称赞在她的专业领域。她也很漂亮性感,尽管她似乎也没有意识到这一点,所以我也告诉了她这些事情。虽然我认为赞美她的才华更重要,但对她来说,这似乎意味着她更有吸引力。
我和这个女朋友的经历是生活中常见现象的例证——当它发生时,为了赞美一个女人,男人通常会走很难的路线。当然,背景很重要。在专业场合,谈论外表通常是不合适的,但是在单身俱乐部,这可能很重要。如果一个男人认为她的衣服和配饰很漂亮,或者她的头发看起来很棒,她会非常高兴。然而,这两起案件之间的情况尚不清楚。女性完全有权利得到认可,6)她们的智慧和创造力得到赏识。但与此同时,他们也希望自己的外表受到赞赏,例如,完美的肤色和优雅的服装。
不幸的是,大多数人不明白这一点。如果我们收到女性的赞美,通常是关于我们的成就,而不是我们的长相。我们大多数人都不指望女人会告诉我们自己有多英俊或性感,我们中的一些人会发现很难把这样的评论视为真诚。
我不是说现在做一个男人很难。对每个人来说,重要的是理解如何既尊重又钦佩女性。但就这两者的正确平衡而言,我们真的没有参照系,尤其是在外表方面。

Farming invariably interferes with the habitats of plants and animals. However, this does notnecessarily mean that agriculture and biodiversity are 1)C incompatible. In fact, quite thepposite is true. The sustainable cultivation of plants for food and feed actually enables us to2)G preserve biodiversity.
By 2007, there were more than twice as many people living on the planet as there were in1961. Over the same period. the total amount of 3) I available arable (可耕的) land grewby just 10 percent. In comparison with population growth, the expansion of arable land wassmall. And there are limits to further expansion. A large 4)N proportion of the earthssurface- like deserts- is not suitable for cultivation, and other areas are 5)F utilized byhumans for roads and buildings. Some land that is rich in biodiversity needs to be preservedand thus should not be 6)0 converted into arable land. The tropical rain forests, forexample, have the highest species density in the world, and changing this land for cropcultivation would be 7)J dreadful to these species habitats and, indeed, existence.
By 2050, global demand for food will have risen by 70 percent. But the expansion of landavailable for cultivation has its limits. This is one of the greatest challenges facing agriculturetoday: How do we 8) B balance the increased demand for food with the need to maintainbiological diversity, now and in the future?
Efficient and 9)L sane use of land will be key to preserving natural animal and planthabitats. To achieve this aim will depend to a(n) 10) A considerable extent on the use ofmodern agricultural methods. If these methods are successfully applied, we believe thatagriculture and biodiversity can coexist in harmony.
农业总是干扰动植物的栖息地。然而,这并不一定意味着农业和生物多样性是不相容的。事实上,这个假设很正确。植物作为食物和饲料的可持续种植实际上使我们能够保护生物多样性。
到2007年,地球上的人口是1961年的两倍多。在同一时期。我可用的可利用的耕地总量只增加了10%。与人口增长相比,可耕地的扩张很小。进一步扩张是有限度的。很大一部分类似地表的沙漠不适合耕种,其他地区被人类用作道路和建筑。一些生物多样性丰富的土地需要保护,因此不应该变成可耕地。例如,热带雨林是世界上物种密度最高的,改变这片土地进行作物栽培对这些物种的栖息地乃至生存来说都是可怕的。
到2050年,全球食品需求将增长70%。但是可用于耕种的土地的扩张是有限度的。这是当今和未来农业面临的最大挑战之一:我们如何平衡日益增长的食物需求和保持生物多样性的需求?
高效合理地利用土地是保护自然动植物栖息地的关键。实现这一目标在很大程度上取决于现代农业方法的使用。如果这些方法被成功应用,我们相信农业和生物多样性可以和谐共存。

Stereotypes have some truth mixed in with a few generalizations. Sometimes thesegeneralizations can be misleading as they are often based on observation of the I)L exterior behavior of people in a certain culture. Spaghetti, pasta, mafia(黑手党), gestures, fashionthese are some words commonly used to describe Italians. How much truth is there in thstereotype? As an Italian myself, I will give you some 2) E insights into Italian soul andclarify some misunderstandings that foreigners have about us.
Spaghetti and pasta are sacred. You can't take pasta away from an Italian meal; otherwise itwon't be 3)0 complete. A typical Italian meal generally includes pasta as a starter, fish ormeat with salad as the main 4)J course, followed by fruit or dessert, and then coffee. Butthere are considerable regional differences in Italy, and hence 5)G inconsistencies existbetween the stereotype and reality. For instance, you might find risotto(加有肉、鱼或蔬菜的调味饭) replacing pasta in some places!
The Mafia is real: We are not proud of it, but it does exist, especially in the South and on theisland of Sicily. Obviously, not every Italian is a member of the Mafia, and most will be 6)H offended if you use the term, even if you are just joking
Yes, the way we speak is unique. Italians use 7)A gestures a lot in communication. Wesimply cannot talk without our hands. If the hands are busy doing something else, we startmoving shoulders or other parts of the body.
We are also fashion victims. You can recognize Italians by the way they dress from head to toe. We wear stylish clothes and 8)C omaments for every possible occasion. You won't ever see an Italian wearing running shorts combined with long socks: It's simply against our 9) I sense of style
Italy is made up of many regions and provinces which are similar in some ways and 10)M distinctive in others. The stereotype contains some truth, but being Italian takes a lot more than that
刻板印象中夹杂着一些真理和一些概括。有时这些概括会产生误导,因为它们通常是基于对特定文化中人们外在行为的观察。意大利面、意大利面、黑手党、手势、时尚这些都是常用来形容意大利人的词汇。这种刻板印象有多少真实性?作为一名意大利人,我会给你一些关于意大利灵魂的见解,并澄清一些外国人对我们的误解。
意大利面和意大利面是神圣的。你不能从意大利餐中拿走意大利面;否则就不会完成。典型的意大利餐通常包括意大利面作为开胃菜,鱼或沙拉作为主菜,然后是水果或甜点,然后是咖啡。但是意大利有相当大的地区差异,因此刻板印象和现实之间存在不一致。例如,你可能会发现意大利调味饭(加有肉、鱼或蔬菜的调味饭)在一些地方代替意大利面!
黑手党是真实的:我们不以它为荣,但它确实存在,尤其是在南部和西西里岛。显然,不是每个意大利人都是黑手党成员,如果你使用这个术语,大多数人都会被起诉,即使你只是在开玩笑
是的,我们说话的方式很独特。意大利人在交流中经常使用手势。没有我们的手,我们无法说话。如果手忙于做其他事情,我们开始移动肩膀或身体的其他部位。
我们也是时尚的受害者。你可以通过意大利人从头到脚的穿着来认出他们。我们在任何可能的场合都穿时髦的衣服和装饰品。你永远不会看到意大利人穿着跑步短裤和长袜:这完全违背了我们的时尚感
意大利由许多地区和省份组成,这些地区和省份在某些方面相似,而在另一些方面有所不同。这种刻板印象包含了一些真理,但作为意大利人需要的不仅仅是这些
