• 2．    "You need to sign this，"my son Joe informed me."What is it？"I asked.Rolling his eyes with a sense o impatience，Joe replied，"Your permission.And it's due tomorrow!"
      I learned that Joe's sixth-grade class would be taking a field trip to the state capital."That sounds like fun，"I said."I've always wanted to go there.""You can't come!"Joe answered.Puzzled，I asked."Why not？"
  "Because you always come on field trips!"
      Of course，I always joined his class on field trips.Being a chaperone（監(jiān)護(hù)人） on a field trip is one of the advantages that comes with being a mom，a vacation day in a career that offers few opportunities for a change of scenery."You don't want me to be a chaperone？""Give someone else's mom a chance，"he suggested.What was surprising was how much I minded being so impolitely removed from the short list of willing chaperones by my own son.
      When Joe was in kindergarten，his class planned a pretend trip to Norway.The day before the trip，Joewoke up not feeling well.
      After learning that he didn't have a fever，lasked，"You don't want to miss getting ready for the trip to Norway，do you？""I guess not，"he said.
      But when I picked him up at the end of the day，the teacher whispered，"Joe got a little upset today."
  "What happened？""He doesn't want to go to Norway without you."So that was what had been bothering my 5-year-old.He thought his class was really flying to Norway on their wooden chairs in their paper airplane.He believed those passports and tickets he and his classmates had been making were the real deal.
      Preadolescence fell upon my family as my husband and I found ourselves preparing for our son's upcoming teen years with the same trepidation as someone about to climb an ice-covered mountain wearing high heeled-shoes.
      Joe needed to take a field trip without me accompanying him.And I needed to let him.I'm glad he doesn't need me all the time.

• 3．    To a chef，the sounds of lip smacking，slurping and swallowing are the highest form of flattery（恭維）.But to someone with a certain type of misophonia，these same sounds can be suffering.Brain scans are now help in scientists start to understand why.
      People with misophonia experience strong discomfort，annoyance or disgust when they hear particular triggers （誘因）.Researchers previously thought this reaction might be caused by the brain overactively processing certain sounds.Now，however，a new study published in Journal of Neuroscience has linked some forms of misophonia to heightened "mirroring"behavior in the brain：those affected feel negative and bitter while their brains act as if they were mimicking（模仿） the triggering mouth movements.
      The research team，led by Neweastle University neuroscientist Sukhbinder Kumar，analyzed brain activity in people with and without misophonia when they were at rest and while they listened to sounds.These included misophonia triggers （such as chewing），generally unpleasant sounds （like a crying baby），and neutral sounds.The brain's auditory cortex（聽覺皮層），which processes sound，reacted similarly in subjects with and without misophonia.But in both the resting state and listening trials，people with misophonia showed stronger connections between the auditory cortex and brain regions that control movements of the face，mouth and throat，while the controlled group didn't.Kumar found this connection became most active in participants with misophonia when they heard triggers specific to the condition.
      Some mirroring is typical in most humans when witnessing others' actions；the researchers do not yet know why an excessive mirroring response might cause such a negative reaction，and hope to address that in future research."Possibilities include a sense of lose of control，invasion of personal space，or interference with current goals and actions."the study authors write.
      Fatima Husain，an Illinois University professor of speech and hearing science，says potential misophonia cures could build on the new findings by counseling patients about handling unconscious motor responses to triggering sounds —not just coping with the sounds themselves.If this works，she adds，one should expect to see reduced connected activity between the auditory and motor cortices.
  
  （1）How might misophonia sufferers despond to sounds of eating loud？

  
  A．They sink into awful feelings.
  B．They feel a strong sense of hunger.
  C．They can't help making the sounds.
  D．They are more likely to flatter the chefs.
  （2）What happened to the misophonia sufferers in the research？

  
  A．They suffered less at the resting state.
  B．They had noticeable brain damage.
  C．They became active in mirroring response.
  D．They lost control of their entire bodies.
  （3）Which may be a self-talk from a man suffering misophonia？

  
  A．How lonely I am to stay by myself!
  B．Can't they share their goals with me？
  C．How come I can't control my mind!
  D．Following her way is the best thing I can do!
  （4）What might be the significance of the study？

  
  A．Improving speech and hearing science.
  B．Developing a treatment for misophonja.
  C．Drawing people's attention to misophonia.
  D．Promoting human auditory function research.

• 9．    I had a dream from primary school：to work in television.My parents owned a little grocery store，so we were definitely not fancy people.Thankfully，my dad had raised me to have a lot of confidence.He often said，"You can do anything you want to do."My dad was particularly supportive.He was my steady rock —always there for me.
      With his help and encouragement，I was admitted to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in
  Toronto.I really loved the program and worked hard and I was named the most outstanding graduate.I felt like I was already living my dream.I began to think that maybe I could apply for an internship（實(shí)習(xí)資格） in CBC or CTV.
      Luckily，Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year.I thought to myself：I'm new and they're new，so if I'm going to get to know one person at Global，it might as well be the president.I was scared，but I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted.When I called my dad and told him my plan，he said，"Good，F(xiàn)aye.That's exactly what you should do."
      With my heart just about pounding out of my body，I called up the president of Global Television.Suddenly Mr.Slaight was on the phone."I've heard that your studio facilities are amazing.I could come at eleven o'clock on Monday or eleven o'clock on Sunday for a tour.What would suit you better？"I caught him totally off guard.He stuttered a bit，and then picked a day.When I hung up，I was scared but excited.
      I arrived at the studio on the appointed day.When Mr.Slaight took me around，he looked at me and said，"What do you want？"He sounded furious but curious."All I want is a chance to audition（試鏡）.I just want you to know my face.That's all I'm asking."
      I didn't know whether I'd ever hear from him again，but （two weeks later，his secretary called，"Mr.Slaight wants to know if you'd like to come and audition for a new school life show."I immediately answered，"Sure!"
  When I arrived at the station，I went direct into the audition and began my short performance.
               
  Finally came the day of my first public appearance on live TV with my parents at home watching.
