• 2．Abraham Lincoln turns 200 this year，and he's beginning to show his age.When his birthday arrives，on February 12，Congress will hold a special joint session in the Capitol's National Statuary Hall，a wreath（花環(huán)） will be laid at the great memorial in Washington，and a webcast will link school classrooms for a "teach-in" honoring his memory.
     Admirable as they are，though，the events will strike many of us Lincoln fans as inadequate，even halfhearted - and another sign that our appreciation for the 16th president and his towering achievements is slipping away.And you don't have to be a Lincoln enthusiast to believe that this is something we can't afford to lose.
     Compare this year's celebration with the Lincoln centennial，in 1909.That year，Lincoln's likeness made its debut on the penny，thanks to approval from the U.S.Secretary of the Treasury Communities，and civic associations in every comer of the country erupted in parades，concerts，balls，lectures，and military displays.We still feel the effects today：The momentum unloosed in 1909 led to the Lincoln Memorial，opened in 1922，and the Lincoln Highway，the first paved transcontinental thoroughfare （大道） .
     The celebrants in 1909 had a few inspirations we lack today.Lincoln's presidency was still a living memory for countless Americans.In 2009 we are farther in time from the end of the Second World War than they were from the Civil War；families still felt the loss of loved ones from that awful national trauma（創(chuàng)傷） .
     But Americans in 1909 had something more：an unembarrassed appreciation for heroes and an acute sense of the way that even long-dead historical figures press in on the present and make us who we are.
     One story will illustrate what I'm talking about.
     In 2003 a group of local citizens arranged to place a statue of Lincoln in Richmond，Virginia，former capital of the Confederacy（南方聯(lián)邦）.The idea touched off a firestorm of controversy.The Sons of Confederate Veterans held a public conference of carefully selected scholars to "reassess" the legacy of Lincoln.The verdict - no surprise - was negative：Lincoln was labeled everything from a racist totalitarian to a teller of dirty jokes.
     I covered the conference as a reporter，but what really unnerved me was a counter-conference of scholars to refute the earlier one.These scholars drew a picture of Lincoln that only our touchy-feely age could recall.The man who oversaw the most savage war in our history was described - by his admirers，remember - as "non-judgmental，" "unmoralistic，" "comfortable with ambiguity （模棱兩可） ."
     I felt the way a friend of mine felt as we later watched the unveiling of the Richmond statue in a subdued （征服） ceremony： "But he's so small!"
     The statue in Richmond was indeed small；like nearly every Lincoln statue put up in the past half century，it was life-size and was placed at ground level，a conscious rejection of the heroic - approachable and human，yes，but not something to look up to.
     The Richmond episode taught me that Americans have lost the language to explain Lincoln's greatness even to ourselves.Earlier generations said they wanted their children to be like Lincoln：principled，kind，compassionate，resolute.Today we want Lincoln to be like us.
     This helps to explain the long string of recent books in which writers have presented a Lincoln made after their own image.We've had Lincoln as humorist and Lincoln as manic-depressive，Lincoln the business sage，the conservative Lincoln and the liberal Lincoln，the emancipator and the racist，the stoic philosopher，the Christian，the atheist （無神論者）- Lincoln over easy （兩面煎的） and Lincoln scrambled （把...攪亂） .
     What's often missing，though，is the timeless Lincoln，the Lincoln whom all generations，our own no less than that of 1909，can lay claim to.Lucky for us，those memorializers from a century ago - and，through them，Lincoln himself - have left us a hint of where to find him.The Lincoln Memorial is the most visited of our presidential monuments.Here is where we find the Lincoln who endures：in the words he left us，defining the country we've inherited.Here is the Lincoln who can be endlessly renewed and who，200 years after his birth，retains the power to renew us.
  
  （1）The author thinks that this year's celebration inadequate and even halfhearted because

  .
  A．no Lincoln statue will be unveiled
  B．no memorial coins will be issued
  C．no similar appreciation of Lincoln will be seen
  D．no activities can be compared to those in 1909
  （2）In the author's opinion，the counter-conference

  .
  A．a(chǎn)pproved of the judgment by those carefully selected scholars.
  B．offered a brand new reassessment perspective.
  C．came up with somewhat favourable conclusions.
  D．resulted in similar critical remarks on Lincoln.
  （3）According to the author，the image Lincoln conceived by contemporary people

  .
  A．conforms to traditional images.
  B．reflects the present-day tendency of worship.
  C．shows the present-day desire to match Lincoln.
  D．reveals the variety of current opinions on heroes.
  （4）Which of the following best explains the implication of the last paragraph？

  
  A．Lincoln's greatness remains despite the passage of time.
  B．The memorial is symbolic of the great man's achievements.
  C．Each generation has its own interpretation of Lincoln.
  D．People get to know Lincoln through memorializers.

• 3．Some people get worried when faced with simple math problems.And they may rely more heavily on certain brain circuits than people who do not experience such math anxiety.That's the finding of a new study.Using a different mental approach might help explain why people with math anxiety struggle more with complex problems.
     To figure out what was going on，researchers placed adults in a brain-scanning device.Called a functional magnetic resonance（磁共振）imaging machine，it measures blood flow in the brain.This lets researchers see which brain regions are active at a particular point in time.For the new study，the study recruited（招募） people with and without math anxiety.All of the adults were asked to answer whether simple math problems were correct or not.Both groups had similar response time.Each group also was equally accurate.The brain scans，however，turned up some differences.
     In people who weren't anxious about math，there was less activity in one brain region.It is called the frontoparietal（額頂?shù)模琣ttention network.It is involved in working memory and the solving of problems.
     People who relied on this circuit less were probably getting ahead by automating simple math，said Hyesang Chang.She's a cognitive neuroscientist who works at the University of Chicago in Illinois.She reported her team's findings on March 25 here at the annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society.
     People who get anxious over math showed more varied brain activity overall.That led Chang to consider that these people might be handling math problems in a different way.Their brains might be using a variety of approaches-and in ways that use more brain resources.This general approach works fine for simple math，she said.But the brains of those with math anxiety might get maxed out when the math is more challenging.
  
  （1）According to the text，people who experience math anxiety may

  .
  A．have better working memory
  B．solve math problems inaccurately
  C．suffer more injuries in face of complex problems
  D．have more activity in the frontoparietal attention network
  （2）Researchers did the study with the help of

  .
  A．some experts on network
  B．the University of Chicago
  C．some people doing well in math
  D．a(chǎn) magnetic resonance imaging machine
  （3）What does Hyesang Chang agree with？

  
  A．There is no certain way to change the level of math anxiety.
  B．Using more brain resources can help solve more challenging math problems.
  C．People with math anxiety use more brain resources to handle math problems.
  D．People relying on the frontoparietal attention network less have better math grades.
  （4）What may be the best title for the text？

  
  A．How to learn math better
  B．How does people's brain react to math problems？
  C．What researchers find about people's brain
  D．What should people do to avoid math anxiety？
