Steven Spielberg has

6、always had one goal: totell as many great stories to as many people as will listen. And thats what hehas always been about. The son of a computer scientist and a pianist, Spielbergspent his early childhood in New Jersey and, later, Arizona. From the verybeginning, his fertile imagination filled his

7、young mind with images that wouldlater inspire his filmmaking.2. Even decades later, Spielberg says he has clearmemories of his earliest years, which are the origins of some of his biggesthits.

10、would start telling his ghost stories,” says Richard Y. Hoffman Jr., leader of Troop 294, “and everyone would suddenly getquiet so that they could all hear it.”4. Spielberg moved to California with his fatherand went to high school there, but his grades were so bad that he barely graduated.Both UCLA

11、 and USC film schools rejected him, so he entered California State University at Long Beach because it was close to Hollywood. Spielberg was determined to make movies, and he managed to get an unpaid, non-creditinternship（实习）in Hollywood. Soon he was given a contract, and he dropped out of college.

12、He never looked back.5. Now, many years later, Spielberg is stilltelling stories with as much passion as the kid in the tent. Ask him where hegets his ideas, Spielberg shrugs.“The process for me is mostly intuitive (凭直觉的),”he says.“There are films that I feel I need to make, for a variety ofreasons,

Although theTrust has receive

27、d practical and moral support from the Government, it is not arich Government department. It is a voluntary association of people who care forthe unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is a charitywhich depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of thepublic. It

28、s primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and placesof historical interest.The attention of the publicwas first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles ofBritain by the death of Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-centuryhouse to the Trust togethe

29、r with the 4500-acre park and estate surrounding it. Thisgift attracted wide publicity and started the Trusts Country HouseScheme”. Under this scheme, with the help of the Government and the generalpublic, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public aboutone hundred and fifty o

30、f these old houses2. Last year about one and three quartersof a million people paid to visit these historic houses, usually at a verysmall charge.In addition to country housesand open spaces the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and watermills3 , nature reserves4, five hundred and forty f

31、arms and nearly two thousandfive hundred cottages or small village houses, as well as some completevillages. In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb theold village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in theiroriginal sixteenth-century style. Over four hu

32、ndred thousand acres of coastline, woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development ordisturbances of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to theseareas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.Soit is that over the past eighty years the Trust

But why? W

36、hy do we form an opinion about someonewithout really knowing anything about him or her aside perhaps from a fewremarks or readily observable traits. The answer is related to how yourbrain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive inpicking up facial traits, even very minor diff

37、erence in a how a persons eyes,ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other make you see him orher as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensoryinformation the sights and sounds of your world. Theses incoming “signals”are compared against a host of “memories”

38、 stored in the brain areas called thecortex （大脑皮层）system to determine what thesenew signals “mean”. If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says “familiar andsafe”. “If you see someone new, it says, “newpotentially threatening”. Thenyour brain starts to match features of this stra

39、nger with other “known”memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures and tone of voice areall matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brainmay say, “This is new. I dont like this person.” Or else, “I am intrigued.” Oryour brain may perceive a new face but famili

40、ar clothes, ethnicity, gestures like your other friends; so your brain says: “I like this person.” But thesespreliminary “impressions” can be dead wrong. When we stereotype people, we use aless mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very youngchild) that makes simplistic and

41、categorical impressions of others. Rather thanlearn about the depth and breadth of people their history, interest, values,strengths, and true character we categorize them as jocks, geeks, or freaks. However, if we resist initialstereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person

42、 istruly like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes,dreams, and become aware of the persons character, we use a different, moremature style of thinkingand the most complex areas of our cortex, which allowus to be humane.1. Our first impression of some one new is influenc

43、ed by his or her _-facial feature2. If you meet a stranger with familiar gestures, your brain is mostly likelyto say_ I like the person3. The word “preliminary” means _initial4. Our thinking is not mature enough when we stereotype people because _we neglect their depth and breath5. Which of the foll

44、owing statements best expresses the main idea of thepassage?Our first impression is influenced by the sensitivity of our brain A New Strategy to Overcome Breast CancerPost-menopausal(绝经后)women who walkfor an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer significantly, a studyhas suggested.
