【典例】(2014·新课标全国卷Ⅱ片段) Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don?t cook more often: ability, money, and time. Ability is easily improved. Money is a topic I?ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great
cooking on a tight schedule:

B. Ability is easily improved. C. Make three or four instead. D. Understand your food better. E. Cooking is a burden for many people.

1. Brain Transplants
Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years. 1 If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc.
The idea that a human brain could be transplanted may come from Frankenstein. In 1999, an experiment turned a bear into a dolphin. 2 They were made of the memory area in the dolphin?s brain containing information about swimming. They had a series of useful information, which was saved into a button-sized chip (芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear?s brain. 3 It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin.
Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The experiment had an entire transplant of the memory area. 4 The transplant was performed from a dog named Genius to a dog named Idiot. Genius could follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, Idiot had no contact with people since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.
5 When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Genius possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But Genius gave no response to its master, and did not recognize him at all.
A. The experiment was a complete success.
B. It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. C. Then it was released by means of electric power.
D. Different images have different meanings in the memory area.
E. Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced.
F. Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain.
G. One of the latest topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer.
2. W. Lloyd Jerome’s Dental Surgery
If you walk into W.Lloyd Jerome?s dental surgery in Glasgow, You?ll see bright paintings and a fashionable blue couch which patients sit on while he checks their teeth. Jerome says, “That?s because they?re frightened.”?__1__ “That?s why I don?t wear a white coat. I find that?s one of the things that people associate with pain. In fact, my philosophy is that dental treatment should take place in an atmosphere of relaxation, interest and, above all, enjoyment”, which is all highly shocking for anyone who associates dental treatment with pain, or at the very least, formal, clinical visits. He says, “If people are relaxed, entertained and correctly treated, they will forget such previous unpleasant experiences.”?
“Virtual-reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques. ___2____ The headsets are used for the first check-up, where the patient sits on the blue couch and watches ar film while I look at their teeth. Then the headset switches to a special camera, to give the patient a visual tour around their mouth.”
“Another key point is that the surgery smells more like a perfume shop than a dentist?s. Today there is the smell of orange. ?When people walk in, I want them to realize with all their senses that it?s not like going to dentist?s. Smell is very important. ____3_____”
Known as Glasgow?s most fashionable dentist, Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously. ____4___?For example, Jerome uses a special instrument which sprays warm water on the teeth to clean them, rather than scraping them. “It feels a bit strange, but as long as people are relaxed, it?s not painful.”?
___5___ “One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient, you make it easier for yourself.” He sees his patient-centred attitude as the start of a gradual movement towards less formality in the conservative British dentistry profession. At that moment, a patient arrives. Jerome rushes over, offers him a cup of tea, asks him what video he?d like to watch and leads him gently towards the chair.
A. Five years ago, Jerome went to the United States to do research. ? B. He has tried to create an environment where people are not afraid. ?
