• 3．Imagine yourself in a test situation.You are sitting there hesitating between two choices-A or C.
     Your instincts tell you that A is right but you think that C makes more sense.When you get your paper back you find out that A was correct and you regret not picking it，and you think，"I should have followed my instincts（本能）".
     Most of the time we think our instincts are not as reliable as facts but scientists have just discovered that our instincts are surprisingly powerful tools，according to the study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
     Instincts don't come out of nowhere.When we make decisions，we weigh up the strengths and weaknesses of each choice.But when we make our choices based on our instincts，we actually go through the same process without realizing it. "A lot of our decision-making and a lot of our feeling are based on things that we're not really aware of，"said Sarah Moore，professor in University of Alberta，Canada.
     In order to find out how accurate people' s instinct can be，Professor Marius Usher of Tel Aviv University in Israel and his team designed an experiment to test it.
     In the experiment，people who were shown pairs of numbers on a computer screen，two pairs at a time.They were then asked to choose which of the two pairs of numbers had the highest average.But the fact is that the numbers changed so quickly that they were unable to memorize the numbers or do the math.They had to depend only on their instincts to make decisions.
     Scientists found something amazing as the experiment went on﹣the people's accuracy increased when they were shown more pairs of numbers.When shown six pairs of numbers the people chose correctly 65 percent of the time.But when they were shown 24 pairs，the accuracy rate grew to about 90 percent.
     "Intuitively，the human brain is able to take in many pieces of information and decide on an overall value"said Usher.
     Next time，when you are having a difficult time making decisions simply follow your instincts.
     There is a good chance that they will help you make the right choice.
  
  （1）The first paragraph is written to

  .
  A．point out making the right choices is often difficult
  B．get us to think about whether our instincts are usually right
  C．tell us to think over everything before making a decision
  D．get us to consider what we think about when making decisions
  （2）Why did Professor Marius Usher and his team do the experiment？

  
  A．To see how instincts form.
  B．To find out how accurate our instincts are.
  C．To look at how we make decisions.
  D．To check the importance of our instincts.
  （3）During the experiment by Prof Usher

  .
  A．one pair of numbers was shown quickly each time
  B．people solved math problems faster with the help of instincts
  C．people gradually understood the rules of the numbers shown
  D．people made more accurate choices when they were tested with more numbers
  （4）Which of the following statements is TRUE？

  
  A．The human brain has a limited ability of solving math problems.
  B．The less you use your instincts，the more accurate they become.
  C．People don't weigh up the strengths and weaknesses of things when they make choices.
  D．It's probably better to follow instincts when it's difficult to make a decision.

• 5．The world's largest radio telescope was finished on Sept.25，2017 in China．
     FAST is a five-hundred-meter telescope．It is also called Tian-yan （"The Eye of Heaven"），with a dish the sire of 30 football grounds，deep in the mountains of southwest China's Guizhou Province．The giant dish is built on a howl-like valley．
     The surrounding area has "radio silence" as there are no towns and cities within a 5-kilometer radius（半徑范圍）and only one county center within 25 kilometers．

"Any of its discoveries will lead to a Nobel Prize，" said Joseph Taylor，a Noble Prize winner．
     The FAST project began in 2011．And the telescope is expected to remain the global leader for the next 10 to 20 years．
