      has started
    2. B.
      starts
    3. C.
      started
    4. D.
      will start
    C
    试题分析：考查时态。句意：在这个公司担任经理的Brain希望在他辞职的时候一切要比他开始的时候要更好。根据句意说明他开始在这个公司工作的时候是一个过去的时间。故使用一般过去时。故C正确。
    考点：考查时态
    点评：时态题的考查关键是抓住句子的上下文含义和句中的时间状语。要根据时间状语来选择合适的时态，在平时的学习中要注意积累有关时态的用法和各种时态的特殊之处。如since， so far等经常与现在完成时连用。在条件状语从句中用一般现在时代替将来时等等。

    Social networking websites are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users, a famous scientist has warned．Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are said to shorten attention spans （幅度）, encourage instant satisfaction and make children more self-centered．

       Warnings from neuroscientist （神经系统科学家） Susan Greenfield will disturb the millions whose social lives depend on surfing their favorite websites each day．But they will strike a chord （弦） with parents and teachers who complain that many teenagers lack the ability to communicate or concentrate away from their screens．

        More than 150 million use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, share photographs and videos and post regular updates of their movements and thoughts．A further six million have signed up to Twitter, the "micro-blogging" service that lets users exchange text messages about themselves．But while the sites are popular and extremely profitable, a growing number of psychologists and neuroscientists believe they may be doing more harm than good．

        Baroness Tarot, an Oxford University neuroscientist believes repeated exposure could rewire the brain．Computer games and fast-paced TV shows were also a factor, she said．"My fear is that these technologies are weakening the brain to the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and live for the moment．" "I often wonder whether real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these easier and faster screen dialogues, in much the same way as killing and butchering an animal to eat has been replaced by the convenience of packages on the supermarket shelf," she said．

        Psychologists have also argued that digital technology is changing the way we think．They point out that students no longer need to plan their term papers before starting to write—thanks to word processors they can edit as they go along．

        A study by the Broadcaster Audience Board found teenagers now spend seven and a half hours a day in front of a screen．Educational psychologist Jane Healy believes children should be kept away from computer games until they are seven．Most games only excite the "flight or fight" areas of the brain, rather than the areas responsible reasoning．

        Sue Palmer, author of Toxic Childhood, said: "We are seeing children's brain development damaged because they don't engage in the activity they have engaged in for thousands of years．I'm not against technology and computers．But before they start social networking, they need to learn to make real relationships with people．"

    1..

    According to the passage, social networking websites might _____．

        A．make young users more selfish       

    B．lengthen young users' attention span

        C．encourage young users constant satisfaction

        D．help young users communicate better with their families

    2..

    A neuroscientist may worry that sites like Facebook may ______．

        A．help children learn to make real relationships with people in society

        B．encourage students not to plan their term papers before starting to write

        C．disturb those whose social lives depend on surfing their favorite websites

        D．make real conversation in real time give way to easier and faster screen dialogue

    3..

    From the passage we can infer that _____．

        A．Baroness Tarot agrees websites cause small children's small attention span

        B．Jane Healy believes computer games can do good to children's reasoning

        C．Susan Greenfield's warnings have been brought to wide public attention

        D．Sue Palmer's book Toxic Childhood discusses the development of networking

    4..

    What is the purpose of this passage?

        A．To tell us the conflict between neuroscientists and psychologists on websites．

        B．To present some negative opinions on social networking websites．

        C．To offer advice on the problem of brain damage caused by social networking．

        D．To analyse how social networking websites cause damage in the brains of teenagers．

    Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia （痴呆） in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones （荷尔蒙） , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.

    Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s （早老痴呆症）. University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.

     “Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy are protecting the brain, including estrogen （雌激素）, which we know has many neuroprotective （保护神经的） effects,” Kinsley said.

     “It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”

    Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.

     “When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.

     “They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations （改变） to the brain.”

    1. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?

    A. Some researchers have told them.

    B. Many women say so.

    C. They know it by experimenting on rats.

    D. They know it through their own experience.

    2. What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?

    A. Baby rats.   B. Animals.    C. Old rats.         D. Grown-up rats.

    3. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?

    A. Estrogen.                        B. The hormones of pregnancy.

    C. More exercise.               D. Taking care of children.

    4.“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?

    A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.

    B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.

    C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.

    D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.
