12、国应当做出自is sinister （凶兆的）.A few years ago Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trento and his col league established that dogs wag their tai 1 to the rigjht when they see sone thing pleasant, such as a beloved human master, and to the left when they see sonething unpleasant, such as an unfamiliar

13、 daninant dog. What Dr. Vailortigara did not establish then was whether such signals are 27 to other dogs. Now, he and the team have done just that.As they reported in Current Biology, they wired up several dozen dogs and then showed then videos of dogs with tai Is wagging to left or right. A I eft-

Dr. Vai lortigara and his colleagues also observed the aninals during the exper inent.29 behaviors such as car-fl at toning, hcad-lcrivur

They found that stressed behaviors were more cannon in the 31 of left-wagging than right-wagging.All this suggests lateral specialization in dogs brains.

Today, the Internet grants us easy access to unprecedented amounts of information. But a growing body of scientific evidence suzgests that the Net, with its constant distractions and

19、 interruptions, is also turning us into disrupted and superficial thinkers.B. The picture emerging fran the research is deeply troubl ing, at least to anyone who values the depth, rather than just the speed, of human thought. People who read text studded with links, the studies sho*, conprehend less

The cannon thread in these disabilities is dispersing our attention. The richness of our thoughts, our menories and even our personalities hinges on our abili

Only uhen we pay close attention to a new piece of inforialion are we able to associate it “meaningfully and systematically with knowledge already well established in memory,w writes the Nobel prize-winning neuroscientist （神经科学家）Eric Kandel.

Tliey were uore easily distracted had less control over their attention, and were much less able to distinguish iuportant inforuiation frexn trivial.I. The researchers were surprised

27、by the results. They had expected that the intensive multi taskers would have gained sone mental advantages frern al I their on-screen juggling. But that wasn* t the case. In fact, the heavy ultitaskers veren t even good at multitasking. Everything distracts then, said Clifford Nass, the professor w

28、ho beads the Stanford lab.J. It would be one thing if the ill effects went away as soon as we turned off our conputers and nobiles. But they dont.

Merzenich. now a professor emeritus （荣今退休教校）at the University of California in San Francisco, conducted a fanjous series of experinents on primate brains that revealed how extensively and quickly neural circuits change

31、 in response to experience. When, for example, Mr. Merzenich rearranged the nerve in a nonkey s hand, the nerve cells in the aniinaT s sensory cortex quickly reorganized thenselves to create a new “mental map” ofthe hand, In a conversation late last year, he said that he was profoundly worried about
