Life can smetimes feel like a nvel, with rmance, mystery, hrrr, and even fantasy. A study by researchers at Clumbia University in the US has fund that ur brains rganize these life “chapters” in a similar way t hw bks are divided int chapters.
As we mve frm place t place r activity t activity, new sectins are marked with a nticeable change in brain activity. Until nw, it hasn’t been clear hw the brain decides where t start and end each chapter. The research shws that this prcess is persnalized, based n what’s significant t us and ur pririties (优先权).
“We wanted t challenge the thery that the brain just passively respnds t sensry input changes in the wrld when we start a new chapter. And ur research fund that this is nt the case. The brain des nt passively respnd t life changes, but rganizes them int chunks that are meaningful t us,” says Christpher Baldassan, a psychlgy prfessr at Clumbia University. In ther wrds, mving frm a bus statin t a cffee shp desn’t always start a new chapter if we’re still fcused n a cnversatin.
T study this, researchers created 16 shrt audi stries with different lcatins and scenaris (情境). They invited 415 peple t listen t these stries, mnitring their brain activities r asking them t press a buttn when a new part f the stry started. It fund that ur current pririties, gals, and past experiences can influence hw the brain rganizes these chapters. In ne stry abut a marriage prpsal at a restaurant, participants were asked t fcus n either the prpsal r the fd rders, and this affected hw their brains defined new chapters.
Next, the researchers want t explre mre abut hw expectatins influence ur life chapters and which parts f ur experiences are remembered. They say that past experiences, rganized int event scripts, change hw we feel abut the present. There’s still a lt t learn abut hw ur brains create and rganize these life stries.

B. They are remved randmly by the brain.
C. They are rganized in a fixed way fr everyne.
D. They are divided in an individualized prcess.

C. Our understanding f a stry isn’t related t past experiences.

Human vices cause cnsiderably mre fear in wild animals than the sund f lins, a study in Suth Africa has fund.
The Kruger Natinal Park is a ppular safari (观兽旅行) destinatin and is knwn fr its diverse wildlife. Scientists played recrdings f peple talking nrmally thrugh speakers hidden at water hles in the Kruger Natinal Park. Abut 95% f animals were extremely frightened and quickly ran away. Surprisingly, recrdings f grwling lins brught abut significantly less alarm. Sme elephants, in respnse t the big catcalls, even attempted t face the surce f the sund.
The human speech they chse t play included lcal languages cmmnly spken in the cuntry. The study’s findings suggest that the animals, which include antelpes, elephants, giraffes, lepards and wild pigs, have learnt that cntact with humans is extremely dangerus, due t hunting, gun use and the use f dgs t catch them.
Over the years, the encrachment (入侵) f human settlements int wildlife habitats and hunting have led t a deep-seated fear f humans amng wildlife. The fear ges beynd the Kruger Natinal Park, shwing a glbal pattern where wildlife tends t fear humans mre than any ther enemies, accrding t the study. This fear f humans is a challenge fr areas that rely n wildlife turism, as the human visitrs they want t attract are scaring ff the animals they have cme t see.
The study pens up the ptential t prtect weak species in these ecsystems. Human sunds, when used apprpriately, culd help prtect wildlife against illegal hunting. This research als highlights the great imprtance f respectful and respnsible wildlife turism. One thing is clear: the need fr a balanced apprach t wildlife cnservatin and turism has never been greater. As we step int their wrld, we must remember that we are visitrs and that they are rightful inhabitants.

A By making cmparisn.B. By raising questins.
C. By studying the recrdings.D. By presenting previus researches.
13. Why are the animals alarmed abut human vice?
A. The vice f human is scary.B. Human presence threatens them.
C. Human beings are strnger than them.D. They are sensitive t the sunds in nature.
14. What will the animal’s fear f humans lead t accrding t paragraph 4?
A. Human visitrs will be safer.B. Animal species will be reduced.
C. Wildlife turism will suffer lss.D. Wild animals will be mre dangerus.
15. What is the significance f the study?
