13、It’s the place where smart people make smart machines work even smarter. But for the people who work in it, Silicon Valley (硅谷) is more than just a high technology hothouse. It’s also in the heart of sunny California, a great place to start a family and raise kids. What could be better?
But something is happening to the children. Up until the age of two they develop normally. Their proud parents watch and smile as they take their first steps and speak their first words. But then everything seems to go backwards. The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.
They call it the “curse of Silicon Valley,” but the medical name for the condition is autism. It used to be thought that autism was a mental illness. Now doctors are sure that it is a disease transmitted genetically (遗传). It seems that the people leading the communications revolution are having children who cannot communicate at all.
But even the parents have trouble communicating. Asperger’s S yndrome (综合症) is connected with autism. People who have it are highly intelligent and often brilliant with numbers or systems but have no social skills, which makes Asperger’s sufferers into excellent computer professionals. Unfortunately, many of the children of two Asperger’s parents in Silicon Valley seem to be developing serious autism.
There is little anyone can do. And there is no cure in sight. Some argue that no cure should be found．“It may be that autistics are essentially (本质上) different from normal people, but that these differences make them valuable for the evolution (进化) of the human race,” says Dr Kirk Wilhelm of the University of California．“To remove the genes (基因) for autism could be terrible.
It seems that the children of Silicon Valley are paying the price of genius.
1．A person who has autism usually _____.
A．has difficulty in speaking
B．loses communication skills
C．has difficulty in working
D．hates people around
2．Which of the following best explains “curse of Silicon Valley”?
A．The children are brought up in Silicon Valley.
B．Autism is just a result of working in Silicon Valley.
C．The children suffer from autism due to their parents in Silicon Valley.
D．Autism makes the children in Silicon Valley unable to communicate.
3．Some people think that no cure of autism should be found because ______.
A．autism cannot be cured
B．autism isn’t a disease
C．harm will be done to the children
D．autism is necessary in some way
4．What does the writer seem to feel about the children of Silicon Valley?
A．It’s a pity that they cannot have a normal life.
B．They are the pride of the human race.
C．They are sure to have a bright future.
D．It’s likely that they will have a normal life.

14、What’s the best way to remember our happiest moments, like a birthday or festival? I bet you would answer , “Take lots of photos!” Well, here is a great surprise. People who always take photos may actually be harming(伤害) their memory, because they’re not concentrating on the event itself. That’s according to new research by Fairfi eld University, Connecticut, in the US. They call this the “photo-taking impairment(损害) affect”.
“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them,” Henk el and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened(减弱) a visitor’s memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum, and either take photos of the items on display, or try to remember what they had seen. In addition(另外), the amount(数量) of detail(细节) they remembered was worse than those who didn’t take photos. “These results show how the mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don’t put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event, compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo, just think: is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes, or behind the eye of the camera?
1．（小题1）When we take photos, we _________.
A．fail to focus on the event itself
B．can’t record the details
C．remember what we have seen
D．are likely to have a poor memory
2．（小题2）Which of the following is NOT true about the experiment?
A．People who didn’t tak e photos did better in the experiment.
B．They asked a group to try to remember what they had seen.
C．The experiment aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.
D．People who took photos in the museum could remember less details.
3．（小题3）Acco rding to the passage, we’d better _________.
A．never use our cameras
B．remember an event by heart
C．always remember an event with the help of a camera
D．see everything only with our own eyes
4．（小题4）What do the results of the experiment show us?
A．The mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same.
B．People remember happiest moments by taking photos.
C．Looking back at old photos helps us remember an event.
D．People don’t like taking photos.
5．（小题5）Where can we probably read this passage?
A．The entrance of a museum.
B．A guidebook on how to take good pictures.
C．An instruction of how to use a camera.
D．A scientific report.
