13、 in the world,including the Vienna Philharmonic,an orchestra to which he is linked by particularly close and important ties,and with which he has appeared inVienna and around the world since 1971.The first New Years Concert took place during the darkest chapter of the history of Austria and that of

14、theVienna Philharmonic.On January 1,1941,a Philharmonic matinee entitled Johann Strauss Concert wasperformed.Clemens Krauss conducted the concerts.In the years 1946 and 1947,Josef Krips（1902-1974）replaced Krauss,who returned in 1948 and conducted seven more New Years Concerts until 1954.With the une

18、changing their skin-producing new layers of it as they slough off old cells.Understanding this process ofregeneration would help with the treatment of skin diseases and injuries such as burns.Thisweek,a group of researchers led by Kenneth Poss of Duke University Medical Center in NorthCarolina,have

19、announced a colorful new technique that should enhance such understanding.They call i t SkinbowSkinbows themselves are an adaptation of an approach called.Brain bow,which wasinvented almost a decade ago,and is used to label nerve cells different colors.Brainbowtechnology permits someone with an appr

20、opriate microscope to trace the connections that lotsof individual nerve cells make with one another in the brain of a mouse.Dr.Posss experimental animal is not a mammal but a fish:a zebra fish.Skinbow orBrainbow,the basic procedure is the same.Genetie engineering is used to create lines ofanimals w

21、hose genomes（基 因 组）contain multiple copies of genes for proteins that glowunder ultraviolet rays（紫 夕 卜 线）.These genes are controlled by DNA switches that are activatedonly in the appropriate tissue type-brain for Brainbows,skin for Skinbows.In the case ofSkin bows,some of the proteins glow red,some

22、glow green and some glow blue.At the moment Dr.Poss thinks his microscopes can distinguish 70 80 such colors.Moreover,unlike Brain bow technology,which requires that the animal be killed in order to seewhat is going on,a Skinbow is visible from the outside.Regenerative processes can befollowed over

23、an extended period.The researchers,for example,could observe in detail how a fish responds to injury.Whenthey cut a fin from one of their charges,they were able to track cells moving to the site of thedamage and helping to repair it.They also saw new cells rising from deeper layers of the skin tosup

24、plement those that had migrated to heal the injured fin.After two to three weeks,the fin hadregrown completely.The next stage will be to test how fish skin responds to diseases,and to drugs that mighttreat those diseases.In the fullness of time,the technology might be extended to look at skinregener

25、ation in other species,mammals included.Even while restricted to fish,though,it islikely to produce useful insights into the process of regeneration-not to mention the possibilityof a nice little sideline（寻 业）in designing aquaria（水 族 管）.1.Which of the following best explains slough off underlined in

28、reer.D.The possible applications of the Skinbow.D（2021.福 建 恒 一 教 育）Weve long considered confusion that occurs when we don*t understand something as a shortcoming.You re probably OK.In fact,according to a new study,it isn*t so much about being confused,buthow we respond to that feeling matters.The st

29、udy suggests some people make confusion work for them-making them learn more about something they don*t originally understand.Others,on the other hand,react to confusion by turning away from the subject completely.It all comes down to how peoplerespond to the feelings of uncertainty and puzzlement.W

30、e have been investigating links between emotions and learning for almost a decade,and find thatconfusion can be beneficial to learning if appropriately regulated because it can cause learners toprocess the material more deeply in order to clear their confusion,explains lead author Sidney DMello.To t

31、est their theory,researchers invited some people to learn sessions that involved a complex idea.Then they intentionally increased the confusion.Interestingly,people who had reported higher rates ofconfusion were also better able to grasp the subject-and identify the scientific contradictions.Essenti

32、ally,they had a positive reaction to confusion,using it as a motivation to wrap their heads arounda subject.For them,confusion was a chance to learn something new.They proved what scientist Nick Hobson describes as a high degree of openness.Openness isassociated with the experience of interest,absor

33、ption and wonderment,n he says.Individuals higher inopenness are fascinated by complex situations.It is characterized by a greater tolerance of uncertainty.1However,DMello cautions against deliberately sowing confusion in the context of learning.Peoplealready struggling to understand a concept-espec

34、ially one that they*re under pressure to understand-may not benefit from the added confusion.Instead,confusion may work best for people who areactually looking for a challenge and don*t face consequences of taking a chance to learn something new.Those would be the intellectual risk-takers who are en

35、couraged,rather than discouraged by the feelingsof confusion.1.How do some people benefit from confusion?A.They may find their shortcomings of learning.B.They may seek a solution quickly.C.They may identify their uncertain feelings.D.They may understand the subject better.2.What does Nick think of p

36、eople higher in openness?A.They tolerate ambiguous situations more.B.They respond to confusion negatively.C.They are easy to get confused a lot.D.They feel at a loss for complex situations.3.What does DMello remind people not to do?A.Take a risk to try something new.B.Add confusion to learning on pu

38、to the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water.You get what you need,head tothe front,and choose the line that looks fastest.You chose wrong.People who you swear got in other lines long after you are alreadychecked out and off to the parking l o t.1It turns out,its just math working against you

39、;chances are,the other line really is faster.Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers throughwith minimum d e l a y.2 Any small interruption-a price check,a chatty customer-canhave downstream effects,holding up an entire line.If there are three lines in the

40、store,delays will happen randomly at different registers.Thinkabout the p ro b a b ility:3 So its not just in your mind:Another line probably is movingfaster.Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem.Make all customers stand in onelong,snaking line-called a serpentine line-and serve each

41、 person at the front with the nextavailable register.4 This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants.Witha serpentine line,a long delay at one register wont unfairly punish the people who lined upbehind it.Instead,it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.5

42、 It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly,and some stores cantafford the space or manpower.So wherever your next wait may be:Good luck.A.Why does this always seem to happen to you?B.So why dont most places encourage serpentine lines?C.Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost a

43、n hour.D.The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.E.How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?F.With three registers,this method is much faster than the traditional approach.G.But sometimes,as on a Sunday afternoon,the system gets particularly busy.
