TEXT 1

An actor creates and performs a character by using cognitive empathy or Theory of Mind (TOM). It is the ability to represent others' mental states. ToM plays a critical role in understanding and navigating social situations. Reflection into the character's mental life depends on the actor's approach to character performance. This may be an important part of the character-creation process. This process involves the exploration of the history, motivations, beliefs, and values of the character. This exploration often goes well beyond the information contained within the script. In other words, for many actors, creating a character involves a complex application of TOM, which includes several brain regions such as the temporoparietal junction and posterior cingulate/precuneus.

The temporoparietal junction works in processing and judgments of self and others. According to some studies, overcoming self-other interference and ToM is a deeply integrated process. Findings show that simulating others has been shown to influence self-knowledge. In this simulation, trait and memory measures become similar to a simulated other after adopting their perspective. Some brain regions are deactivated when trained actors use the first-person fictional perspective of a character to answer questions. This is in contrast to a situation when actors answered questions from their own perspective. It suggests that acting may involve the suppression of self-processing.

TEXT 2

According to a recent study, when actors take on a new character, they may be able to suppress their everyday self. This implies that theatre training may have a big impact on the fundamental mechanisms of the human brain. Researchers in this study worked in collaboration with Flute Theatre. They created and delivered interactive productions of Shakespeare for autistic individuals and their families. They used a series of sensory drama games, known as the Hunter Heartbeat Method.

The team used wearable brain imaging technologies and physiological measurement devices. They were first introduced at UCL's Department of Biomedical Engineering. Both devices were used to evaluate the brain activity of actors as they rehearsed scenes from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

The findings showed that when the actors heard their own name during the performance, their response was suppressed in the left anterior prefrontal cortex of the brain. This is usually associated with self-awareness. The same result was witnessed consistently in six actors who were tested when rehearsing several times over a week. Meanwhile, when the performers were not in acting conditions, they responded normally to hearing their own name.

According to the lead researcher, this is the first time that neuroscientists have been able to record brain activity in actors as they perform a role. We hope that this study will help us understand what theatre training does to the brain and to build new connections between neuroscientists and theatre professionals.

Passage 1

Chemists at the University of Burgos (Spain) have manufactured a sheet that changes colour in the presence of water contaminated with mercury. The result can be seen with the naked eye but when photographing the membrane with a mobile phone, the concentration of this extremely toxic metal can be quantified. Mercury contaminations is a problem that is particularly affecting developing countries. It poses a risk to public health since it accumulates in the brain and the kidneys causing long term neurological illnesses. It is emitted from industrial and mining waste, especially small-scale gold mining.

A team at the University of Burgos have now developed a technique for detecting the presence of this dangerous metal in water "in a cheap, quick and in situ way," as explained to SINC by Jose Miguel Garcia, one of the authors of the study. Details have been published in the Analytical Methods journal.

Passage 2

There is growing evidence that people with large number of silver fillings are also at risk. It was once believed that mercury bonded so completely with the other metals used in dental amalgam that it would not escape from the filling. We now know this is not true, and in fact the amount of mercury vapor leaving fillings has been measured.

Multiple fillings can leak enough mercury into a persons system to cause mercury poisoning. While in the average adult one or two fillings will not cause harm, having multiple fillings can leak enough mercury into a persons system to cause mercury positioning. For women, there are special health concerns. Mercury crosses the placenta and also passes into breast milk. Even trace amounts can cause birth defects. Mercury has been linked to regressive disorder, ADHD, developmental delays and a variety of physical, cognitive and behavioral problems. It has also been linked to intensified PMS (post menstrual syndrome). All of which means that for a woman, especially on in her child bearing years or for a minor, silver fillings can be a serious health hazard.

3. Both passages above likely deal with the common theme which is ...

A. The effects of mercury leaks
B. The health hazards of mercury
C. The danger of mercury poisoning
D. The flow of mercury in blood vessels
E. The problematic behavior of mercury

Jawaban: B

New research out of Notre Dame is digging into why social media isn't always good for us, especially if you're young and female. Working as an educator, Carmen Papaluca observed a worrying trend with her students. In particular, social media was having a significant negative impact on her students' mental health. For anyone who is a regular user of social media (which is most of us these days), this won't come as a surprise. With everyone sharing their 'highlight reels', Carmen observed, young women find it particularly hard to see their own lives or even their own bodies as good enough.

Wanting to understand more about the issue and what could be done, Carmen began a Ph.D. at the University of Notre Dame. The focus of her research is Instagram use among young women aged 18 to 25. One of the key findings of her work so far is that younger female Instagram users in her study (late teens and early 20s) found that images on the app made them feel most badly about their bodies.

However, women who were slightly older (mid-20s) felt the inadequacy around their work and lifestyle. In comparison to the images of the apparently fabulous social lives and careers of others on Instagram, they felt that their own lives "lacked meaning."

The blame of the perceived problems with new technologies gets put entirely on those new technologies. But if we want to find a real solution to these problems, we need to dig a bit deeper. In other words, it's not just Instagram that is the problem. It's the social pressures put on young women that have been part of our culture for many years that are now becoming amplified by social media.

TEXT

Some people believe that the key to averting a potential food crisis may lie in recent advances in science and biotechnology. By manipulating the genetic composition of basic crops, such as rice, it is possible to boost a plant's rate of photosynthesis and to produce bigger crop yields. This process is known as a genetic modification; plants that are produced in such a way are called genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Genetic modification can be carried out for a variety of purposes not only to enhance the crop yield. Scientists have produced GMOs with higher than normal vitamin content, for example; other genetically modified crops are resistant to commonly used agricultural herbicides that used to kill the weeds around them, as well as insects and fungal and viral pests. Food products that are made from, or contain traces of genetically modified organisms are known as GM foods.

Scientists claimed that a GM strain of 'super-rice' could boost rice yields by as much as 35 percent. Another strain called golden rice -which contains added amounts of vitamin A- could reduce vitamin A deficiency in more than 120 children worldwide. Some might think that such advances in biotechnology would be welcomed enthusiastically by people around the world. But, in fact, the issue of genetic modification has become one of the most controversial issues of our age. For many people, it highlights the fine line that exists between the benefits of technology and scientific innovation, on the one hand, and the risks of environmental destruction, on the other.

6. The word enhance in line 6 in the passage means...

A. Alleviate
B. Produce
C. Increase
D. Reduce
E. Combat

Jawaban: C
