How many times have you seen someone on TV or in a crowd and had that nagging feeling that you’ve seen them somewhere before but can quite place them? This seems to be quite a(n) __75__ experience and it raises questions about exactly how we recognize faces. What’s going on in our brains when we see a face?
Scientists have recently carried out tests on volunteers to find out which areas in the brain are involved in face recognition. The tests must have been a lot of fun to take part in! The volunteers were __76__ a photograph of a famous person on a computer and then the face gradually changed into another famous person’s. For example a picture of the 1950s film star Marilyn Monroe __77__ changed into a picture of the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher! Obviously, Marilyn’s beautiful curly blonde hair became greyer, her nose became sharper and longer, and her face developed wrinkles and lines around the mouth. As they watched the person change, complicated equipment scanned the volunteers’ brains to see which parts of the brain were lighting up. The __78__ showed that we use three main areas of the brain to identify people’s faces. While one section of the brain looks at the physical features such as size and shape of eyes, another part identifies the face as known or unknown. __79__, a third part of the brain is checking out the name or other information about the face in our memory. It sounds __80__ but it seems that human beings can store as many as 10,000 faces in their memories and most of us can recognize about ninety per cent of our classmates up to thirty five years after we last saw them!
75. A. bad B. common C. unusual D. exciting 76. A. shown B. taken C. printed D. exchanged 77. A. immediately B. finally C. slowly D. suddenly 78. A. survey B. situation C. changes D. results 79. A. What’s more B. For the time being C. As a result D. At the same time
80. A. silly B. amazing C. serious D. familiar
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words
Avoid being a crime victim
Visiting a new city can be exciting, but every big city has crime. Nevertheless, that shouldn’t stop you from having a great time. Here are some tips so that you don’t become a victim. ① Let’s start with the obvious. Day or night, don’t hang out in areas that don’t seem safe. And remember: It’s always better to be with other people than to be a __81__. ② We all want to look our best, but it’s not a good idea to wear an e__82__ watch or valuable jewelry in public. Carry those in a pocket or bag where no one can see them. ③ Don’t act like you’re from out of town. Walk like you live there! Pay attention to your “personal space,” and know what the people a__83__ you are doing. Headphones are cool, but let’s face it, you can’t pay attention to others while you’re listening to music. ④ Always bring your phone with you, but don’t make it easy for the bad guys to s__84__ it from you. Wait to call or text u__85__ you’re inside a restaurant or some other safe place. Before you take any photos, be aware of who’s nearby. ⑤ Be e__86__ careful if you use an ATM or cash machine at a bank or when you’re buying souvenirs or tickets. Don’t let other people see your money.
