Shopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20th century. 1 in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street. Main Street was always in the heart of a town. This street was 2 on both sides with many 3 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. 4 ,some shops offered 5 .These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe-repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. 6 in the 1950s, a change began to 7 .Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street 8 too few parking places were 9 shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces 10 the city limits. Open space is what their car-driving customers needed.

And open space is what they got 11 the first shopping centre was built. Shopping centres, or rather malls, 12 as a collection of small new stores 13 crowded city centres. 14 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 15 areas to outlying malls. And the growing 16 of shopping centres led 17 to the building of bigger and better?stocked stores. 18 the late 1970s,many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition toproviding the 19 of one stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, 20 benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.

Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years., just like the booming(昌盛的)hi-tech industry. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the Computer and the human brain, i. e, to transport a chip into human brain. This innovation(改革) may take everyone’s dream come true .If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to enlarge the applicable capacity of the hard disc. For the time being, there are some difficulties in such transport experiments, but scientist never give up.

Experiments were started on animals .In 1996 , a transplant experiment performed at the Defense and Military Physiology Research institute in the U.S. turned a bear into a dolphin.

The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology, deep and detailed were made of the swimming action memory area in Ted’s brain by the scientists. They obtained a series of useful information, the signals transferred by the nerve system. Such information was saved into a button—sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallinn’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.

Recently, another comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Never Research Institute of the University of California. The comprehensive memory transplanted in the experiment included actions, moods, logic ,words, images, etc. The experiment involved an entire transplant of the memory area. This was the largest such experiment done so far.

The transplant was performed from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “idiot”. “genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing .”Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.

The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up .”Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” possessed; it was good at memorizing , sensible. It could follow every gesture and other given but its master. But :genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.

1.The purpose of the experiment is _______.

A. to combine the computer and the human brain

B. to make bear swim

C. to make some stupid dog turn clever

D. to enlarge the applicable capacity of human brain

2.Which of the following statement is true ?

A .The scientists transferred a button—sized chip with useful information in Tallin’s brain.

B. The comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research University.

C. The second experiment wasn’t an entire transplant of the memory area.

D. The idiot was an animal with memory before brain experiment.

3.What dose the underlined word “success” refer to ?

A. The two dogs woke up.

B. They were both good at at memorizing .

C. The idiot grasped all the abilities .

D. The Genius grasped all the abilities.

4.According to the text, we can infer ______.

A.    a person can know more after the experiment

B. a bear can swim after being transferred a chip with relevant useful information

C. a dog can become clever after entire transplant of the memory area

D. it is really good for animals to have transplant experiment
