17、An exhibition guide. D.The robotics introduction.BA man walked into a small Irish pub and ordered three beers. Bartender was surprised, but he served that man three beers. One hour later the man ordered three beers again. The very next day that man ordered three beers again and drank quietly at a ta
18、ble. This repeated several times and shortly after the people of the town were whispering about the man, who was ordering three beers at once.A couple of weeks later, the bartender decided to clear this out and inquired: “I do not want to pry, but could you explain, why do you order three beers all
19、the time?” The man replied: “It seems strange, isnt it? You see, my two brothers live abroad at the moment, one in France and another in Italy. We have made an agreement, that every time we go to pub each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keeping up the family bond ”.Soon all the tow
20、n have heard about the mans answer and liked it a lot. The man became a local celebrity. Residents of the town were telling this story to newcomers or tourists and even invited them to that pub to look at Three Beer Man.However, one day the man came to pub and ordered only two beers, not three as us
21、ual. The bartender served him with bad feeling. All that evening the man ordered and drank only two beers. The very next day all the town was talking about this news, some people pray for the soul of one of the brothers, others quietly grieve.When the man came to pub the next time and ordered two be
22、ers again, the bartender asked him: “I would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death of your dear brother”. The man considered this for a moment and then replied: “Oh, you may be surprised that I order only two beers now? Well, my two brothers are alive and well. Its just because of my de

26、atitude D. appreciation CIf a woman has an extra piece of cake, dont blame it on greed, blame it on her brain. Scientists have found that womens brains react to food very differently - and much more strongly - than mens. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have
27、programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food. Men, on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive about what they eat.Dr. Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in Kings College London used brain scanning technology, known as
28、 functional magnetic resonance imaging （FMRI）, to look at the brains of eighteen men and women. The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste. Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists. They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than thos
29、e of males. The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non-food images. The team believe this means women think more about food than men tend to.Dr. Uher said, “ This could be related to biological differences between men and women. But the more likely explanation is that women have a mor
30、e complicated reaction to food because of social pressure.”Professor Carey Cooper, psychology and health professor at Lancaster University, said, “ for centuries women have had a providing role - preparing and cooking food for their families. And its part of that role to make sure the food is safe. They will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built into their DNA. If the female brain reacts to food because it historically has developed neural（神经的） pathways to do this, then food will be the way they
