29、animals to be viable,and will inevitably die out.The larger populations may be viable in the short term,but will be susceptible to genetic defects as a result of inbreeding.In these circumstances,a more tradition threat to pandas the cycle of flowering and subsequent withering of the bamboo that is

30、their staple food can become literally species-threatening.The flowering prompts 大学英语教学4/8大学英语站倾情奉献！版权所有，侵权必究！pandas to move from one area to another,thus preventing inbreeding in otherwise sedentary populations.In pandas,however,bamboo flowering could prove catastrophic（灾难性的）because the pandas are

35、,everyone,(65)both the government and individuals,will have to cooperate.Section C(10 marks)Honda has developed a way to read patterns of electric currents on a person s scalp as well as changes in cerebral blood flow when a person thinks about four simple movements-moving the right hand,moving the

36、left hand,running and eating.In a video shown at Tokyo headquarters,a person wearing a helmet sat still but thought about moving his right hand a thought that was picked up by electrodes attached his head inside the helmet.Honda said the technology wasn t quite ready for a live demonstration because

37、 of possible distractions in the person s thinking.Another problem is that brain patterns differ greatly among individuals,and so about two to three hours of studying them in advance are needed for the technology to work.The company,a leader in robotics,acknowledged the technology was still at a bas

44、r of articles I ve read about how to cureintroversion.In response to these articles,I wrote The Introverts Strike Back,in which I argued that introverts cant become extraverts,and they shouldn t particularly to.However,I m not here to debate whether it s better to be an introvert to an extravert.The

45、 fact is,we all have to interact with both types of people every day.Regardless of which type you are,you can greatly improve your relationships by learning to get along better with people of the other type.Here are some tips for getting started.For Introverts:*Indicate to others when you re busy.Wh

46、en an extravert see you reading,writing,or maybe just thinking,he might assume that the only reason you are doing this is because you don t have someone to talk to.So he thinks he s doing you a favor by striking up a conversation,when he s actually interrupting.To prevent this,be sure to give an ind

49、ch with the external world,for them talking is something as necessary as breathing.They might think out loud by bouncing their thoughts off other people,and they might need to chat in order to boost their energy.For an introvert,this can be the most difficult part of dealing with an extravert.The sa

50、me conversation that energies the extravert also drains the introvert.However,keeping in mind that the extravert is not being intentionally malicious,the introvert has at least two options for handling this in a polite way.They can patiently participate in the conversation,and then,when it s over,re
