2、 beer and made his way up to bed.As soon as the light in the bedroom went out, there was a big noise all through the farm buildings. Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle White pig, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other

3、animals. It had been agreed that they should all meet in the big barn(谷倉) as soon as Mr.Jones was safely out of the way.At one end of the big barn, Major lay on his bed of straw comfortably. He was twelve years old and had lately grown rather heavy, but he was still a nice­looking pig, with a w

4、ise and easy­going appearance. Before long the other animals began to arrive and make themselves comfortable after their different fashions. First came the three dogs, Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher, and then the pigs, who settled down in the straw immediately beside Major. The two cart­hor

5、ses, Boxer and Clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs(蹄子) with great care for fear that there should be some small animals hidden in the straw. Clover was a motherly big horse approaching middle life, who had never quite got her figure back after her fo

6、urth kid.Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of first­rate intelligence, but he was well respected for his steadiness of charact

He seldom talked, and when he did, it was usually to make all such remarksfor instance, he would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would rather have had no tail a

11、ard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons(神經(jīng)元)in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate(模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform

12、 the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons

13、can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentence

14、s to listen to(for example：“The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed(in this example, actually taking hold of a ball)Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that peopl

15、e with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans beha

16、ve and interact(互動(dòng))Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else doeswell, perhaps you'll understand why.20Mirror neurons can explain _Awh
