7．Deep reading，as opposed to superficial （shallow） reading we do on the Web，is an endangered practice，one we ought to take steps to preserve as we would a historic building or a significant work of art．
    Recent research has illustrated that deep reading，characterized as a unique experience different kind from the mere understanding of words，is slow，immersive （沉浸的），rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity．Although deep reading does not，strictly speaking，require a conventional book，the limits of the printed page are uniquely helpful to the deep reading experience．A book's lack of hyperlinks （超鏈接），for example，frees the reader from making decisions-should I click on this link or not-allowing her to remain fully absorbed in the story．
That immersion is supported by the way the brain handles language rich in detail，indirect reference and figures of speech：by creating a mental representation that draws on the same brain regions that would be active if the scene were unfolding in real life．The emotional situations and moral dilemmas that are the material of literature are also vigorous （有活力的） exercise for the brain，driving us inside the heads of fictional characters and even，studies suggest，increasing our real-life capacity （能力） for recognition．
None of this is likely to happen when we're browsing through a website．Although we call the activity by the same name，the deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the Web are very different，both in the experience they produce and in the capacity they develop．A growing body of evidence suggests that online reading may be less satisfying，even for the"digital natives"to whom it is so familiar．Researchers reported that 39% of children and teens read daily using electronic devices，but only 28% read printe d materials every day．Those who only read onscreen were three times less likely to say they enjoy reading very much and tell which book they like best．The study also found that young people who read daily only onscreen were nearly twice less likely to be above-average readers than those who read daily in print or both in print and onscreen．
All in all，the disappearance of deep reading would harm the intellectual and emotional development of generations growing up online，as well as the preservation of a critical part of our culture：the novels，poems and other kinds of literature that can be appreciated only by readers whose brains have been trained to understand them．

6．A global survey of charitable giving conducted on 135 nations might give us a renewed sense of faith in humanity．
  The World Giving Index 2014 examined whether people donated money to a charity，volunteered their time to an organization or offered assistance to someone they didn't know who needed help．About 2.3 billion people worldwide reported helping a stranger over the course of one month last year，and over 1.4 billion donated money to charitable causes in 2013．
  It may not be surprising that the United States，one of the wealthiest countries in the world，came on top as the most generous nation．What is astonishing is that the accolade （榮譽(yù)）was shared with Myanmar，a nation ranking 151 spots lower than the U．s．on the GDP per capita scale．
  In fact，the report found that a nation's economic prosperity doesn't automatically translate to generosity．Only five of the countries in this year's World Giving Index Top 20 are members of the G20，a forum of the world's largest economies．Less wealthy places like Sri Lanka and Trinidad and Tobago featured in the top 10．
  Other factors，like following a religious philosophy or responding to a natural disaster，were found to be major drivers of donations．Myanmar earned its top place mainly due to the fact that nearly all of the respondents，91%，donated money to charity，a practice which is rooted in the country's Theravada Buddhist community．Another high-ranking country with a large population of the followers of that religion is Sri Lanka，which ranked ninth in the Index．
  Malaysia's high jump in the ranking，from 71^st place to 7^th，was attributed to the outpouring of the humanitarian aid after the destructive Typhoon Haiyan hit the neighboring Philippines．
  In Africa，Kenya has moved 18 places up this year，ranking 15^th in the global index．It's the most charitable country in the continent，ahead of larger economies like Nigeria，which is in the 21^st place，and South Africa with rank 34^th．
  Africans are also three times more likely to extend a helping hand to strangers than donate money or volunteer，which seems to show that are more likely to show their generosity through community support than formalized channels．
  From a global perspective，the report concludes that the diverse nature of the top giving countries signals that regardless of geography or culture，people universally appear to respond to those in need．

4．The common cold is the world's most widespread illness，which is plagues（病疫） that flesh receives．The most widespread fallacy（謬誤） of all is that colds caused by cold．They are not．They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person．You catch a cold by coming into contact，directly or indirectly，with someone who already has one．If cold causes colds，it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever．But they do not．And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes．During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches（戰(zhàn)壕），cold and wet，showed no increased tendency to catch colds．In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp（奧斯維辛集中營），naked and starving，were astonished to find that they seldom had colds．At the Common Cold Research Unit in England，volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time．After taking hot baths，they put on bathing suits，allowed themselves to be with cold water，and then stood about dripping wet in drafty（通風(fēng)良好的）room．Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion．Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose．If，then，cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds，why are they more frequent in the winter？Despite the most pains-taking research，no one has yet found the answer．One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times，and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on．No one has yet found a cure for the cold．There are drugs and pain suppressors（止痛片） such as aspirin，but all they do is relieve the symptoms．
64．Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage？C
A．The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time．
