of mental life” and this definition provides a good starting point for our understanding even today. we all have a mental life and therefore have some idea about what this means, even though it can be studied in rats or monkeys as well as in people and the concept remains difficult to understand.like most psychologists, william james was particularly interested in human psychology, which he thought consisted of certain basic elements: thoughts and feelings, a physical world which exists in time and space, and a way of knowing about these things. for each of us, this knowledge is primarily personal and private. it comes from our own thoughts, feelings and experience of the world, and may or may not be influenced by scientific facts about things. for this reason, it is easy for us to make judgments about psycho1ogical matters using our own experience as a standard. we behave as amateur psychologists when we offer opinions on complex psychological phenomena. however, problems arise when two people understand these things differently. formal psychology attempts to provide methods for deciding which explanations are most likely to be correct, or for determining the circumstances under which each applies. the work of psychologists helps us distinguish between inside information, which is subjective, and may be prejudiced and unreliable, and the facts: between our predictions and what is “true” in scientific terms.psychology, as defined by william james, is about the mind or brain, but although psychologists do study the brain, we do not understand nearly enough about its workings to he able to comprehend the part that it plays in the experience and expression of our hopes, fears, and wishes, or in our behavior during experiences as varied as giving birth or watching a football match. indeed, it is rarely possible to study the brain directly. so, psychologists have discovered more by studying our behavior, and by using their observations to obtain hypotheses (假設(shè)) about what is going on inside us._.36. the first paragraph is mainly about _.a. the founder of modem psychology b. the definition of psychologyc. the complexity of psychology d. the influence of psychology37. from paragraph 2, we can know that problems arise because _.a. of the difference between inside information and the factsb. of different thoughts and feelings about psychologyc. people usually make judgments based on their own ideasd. amateur psychologists cannot use scientific terms38. according to the passage, psychologists study the brain mainly _.a. in a direct way b. with their own experiencec. by observing how it works d. by watching peoples behavior39. which of the following can be the first sentence in the fourth paragraph?a. psychology is also about the ways people use their mental abilities to operate in the world around them.b. william james is considered to be the greatest psychologist in the 1890s.c. psychology suggests that living beings adapt to a changing environment so that they can survive.d. it is important for psychologists, as well as ordinary people, to be, aware of the reasons.bcdabitem 1: jk rowling, the harry potter author, has signed a publishing deal with little brown, to release her first ever novel for adults. the deal means that rowlings long-standing relationship with bloomsbury, the london-based publisher that launched the harry potter books, has come to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author. rowling, who is worth an estimated 530 million, said that the new novel will be nothing like the harry potter series, which sold over 30 million copies in the uk alone. she said that with the move from childrens to adult fiction, a move to a new publisher seemed like a logical step. moreitem 2:

memory and a sharper brain, new research suggests.this mind wandering, it seems, actually gives your working memory a workout. working memory is the mental work space that allows the brain to juggle multiple thoughts at the same time. the more working memory a person has, the more daydreaming they can do without forgetting the task at hand.researchers studied groups of people from the university of wisconsinmadison community, ranging in age from 18 to 65. the volunteers were asked to perform simple tasks, like pressing a button every time they took a breath or clicking in response to a letter popping up on a computer screen; these tasks were so easy that their minds were likely to wander, the researchers figured.the researchers checked in periodically, asking the participants if their minds were on task or wandering. when the task was over, they measured each participants working memory capacity by having them remember letters while doing math questions. though all participants performed well on the task, the researchers noticed that the individuals who indicated their minds had wandered more than others also scored higher on the working memory test.“what this study seems to suggest is that, when circumstances for the task arent very difficult, people who have additional working memory resources allocate them to think about things other than what theyre doing，” said jonathan smallwood, a study researcher of the max planck institute for human cognitve and brain science.when our minds run out of working memory, these offtopic thoughts can take the main stage without us consciously meaning them to; for instance, arriving at home with no memory of the actual trip, or suddenly realizing that theyve turned several pages in a book without understanding any of the words.“its almost like your attention was so absorbed in the mind wandering that there wasnt any left over to remember your goal to read，” study researcher daniel levinson, said in a statement.people with overall higher working memory were better able to stay focused when the task at hand required it. those who had low working memory often had their thoughts drift away from the task, and did less well at it.the findings add to past research suggesting these mind drifts can be positive moments. for instance, daydreaming has often been associated with creativityresearchers think that our most creative and inventive moments come when daydreaming. its likely that the most intelligent among us also have high levels of working memory, levinson noted.43. the word “juggle” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_”a. handle b. search c. understand d. distribute44. what can be concluded from jonathan smallwoods words?a. people who often have daydreams probably own a pretty capable working memory.b. on the working memory test, people with wandering minds will get high score.c. absorbed in the mind wandering, your attention left no space for your goal.d. dealing with some easy jobs, people with higher working memory will daydream.45. what is the best title of the passage?a. mind drifts are always positive. b. daydreaming is good for the mind.c. creative moments come with working memory.d. the more daydreaming, the more effectively one works.adbddo you remember the good old days? innocent times spent sharing documents and executable files without a care in the world. okay, every month or so you might encounter a boot sector virus but they were easy to deal with even if the anti-virus software didnt pick them up. but those long lazy summers disappeared too fast. macro viruses made information technology (it) administrators grow up fast as they realized there was a type of virus which could spread very quickly throughout an organization. it wasnt unusual to find hundreds of computers within personal company infected by viruses transmitted via email attachments. the it staff were amongst the fittest departments in your company, running from personal computer (pc) to the next cleaning them up. there had to be a better way. companies now realize that viruses arent urban myths, and can have a serious impact on their operations. they invest in anti-virus software on the desktops, servers and email gateways and even put in place procedures to ensure their anti-virus is up-to-date with the very latest detection routines. it sounds like companies have put in place adequate defenses to protect against viruses. but have they? anti-virus software detects most of the viruses your users are likely to encounter often without the user even knowing. however, the software must be updated regularly, preferably daily in any large company. even then, a very new virus can infect your users. with the rapid transmission of files through networks and the internet, a virus can spread a considerable distance before it can be identified and protected against. fortunately, on
