Now it seems there is scientific backing for our particular complaining as well. Scientists in the United States studied a group of 144 dental patients almost half of whom had red hair. They found that the red-haired group were more sensitive to pain and as a result were twice as likely to avoid visiting the dentist. Previous research had shown that redheads were more resistant to the effects of local anesthesia(局部麻醉) than people with other hair colors. The scientists say that this red-haired sensitivity to pain stems from the actions of a gene called MC1R. This is responsible for the production of melanin which gives skin and hair its color. In about five percent of white people the gene is mutated(突变) leading to fair skin and red hair. Researchers say there are some people with the gene in the brain and that this could affect pain sensitivity. Professor Daniel Sessler from the Cleveland Clinic in the United States is one of the authors of the study. He says the research is a considerable scientific breakthrough. "Red hair is the first phenotype(表现某一显性特征之生物个体或群体) of anesthetic requirement in humans. And what I mean by phenotype is an external characteristic. "So suppose you are walking down the street and you see someone who's a little older and a little younger - that tells you nothing about their anesthetic requirement. You see a man and a woman - that tells you nothing about their anesthetic requirement. But you see a redhead - aha! You know that person is going to require 20 percent more general anesthesia." From my own personal experience I would say that there is some merit to this idea. I have found that I have had to ask dentists for extra anesthetic in the middle of procedures. Some dentists argue that a greater sensitivity to pain might actually benefit redheads and drive them to see the dentist more quickly. In my own case I can prove that is definitely not true. 41. We learn from the text that red- haired group are _______________. A. easily influenced by the sense of pain and need more anesthetic requirement B. usually more sensitive to some painful things C. just well-known for their good temper and strong pain sensitivity D. good-looking with fair skin and red hair 42. The underline part “stem from” most probably means _______________. A. to fit in B. to grow out of C. to result in D. to get along with 43. What do the scientists think this red-haired sensitivity to pain results from? A. Melanin which is responsible for the production which gives skin and hair its color. B. The mutated gene leading to fair skin and red hair C. Some persons with this gene in the brain D. An external characteristic of a person. 44. According to Professor Daniel Sessler, the most amazing thing about the anesthetic requirement in humans which can be judged by ______. A. someone’s age and hair B. someone’s gender and figure C. someone’s teeth and the skills of the dentist D. someone’s external characteristic 45. We can infer from the last two paragraphs that _____. A . redheads need less anesthetic in the operation B. the results of this red-haired sensitivity to pain will be the same C. the writer is a red-haired person D. redheads have many benefits of being red-haired B Who is behind wiseGEEK? It’s one of the most common questions we receive. We are a team of researchers, writers and editors providing short, clear and concise answers to common questions. Currently, there are over 200 active contributors; you can read some of their profiles below. Catherine has been involved with wiseGEEK since the beginning of 2006. Currently, she mainly manages our writers and editors and deals with visitors about their comments and questions. What she loves most about wiseGEEK is learning more details about the things you kind of know about, and learning about things you never knew existed! Some articles she particularly enjoyed include What is a Trekkie? What is a Wormhole? She comes to wiseGEEK with a degree in political science from the University of California, Berkeley. While her time is mostly filled with working for wiseGEEK, she can also be found trying to squeeze in trips whenever she can, usually to Europe. Bronwyn began working for wiseGEEK as an editor, and though she continues to write and edit, she also puts her natural curiosity to work by thinking of new article topics. Bronwyn loves questions nearly as much as she loves answers! Bronwyn has a degree in Psychology from UC Davis, and a teaching credential(证书) from CSU Sacramento. She is a primary school teacher and artist. There are few things she loves more than her dog, Solomon, her leopard, Tiger, and good chocolate. In addition to writing the questions and editing the answers, Bronwyn has also written a few for wiseGEEK, including, What is an Owl Pellet? and Can I Really Make Yarn Out of my Dog’s Fur? Johnny is the expert behind the scenes at wiseGEEK. Like most of the wiseGEEK team, Johnny works with language; but unlike our writers and editors, Johnny’s languages are PHP and SQL. He ensures that the website remains accessible and the pages load fast. Johnny has a Master’s Degree in computer science; in addition to applying his skill to wiseGEEK, he also teaches programming classes at a technical school. “Programming for wiseGEEK is a challenge, but not getting distracted (分心) and educated by the content on the site, is even harder.” When Johnny is away from his computer, he likes playing the guitar; when he’s even farther away, he enjoys hiking. Carolyn joined wiseGEEK as a part-time editor in April 2009, and now works full time hiring new writers, responding to questions from readers, and doing whatever else needs to be done. She comes to wiseGEEK after more than six years working as an online news producer. Although still a bit of a news junky, Carolyn really appreciates no longer being woken at 3 a.m. on Sunday morning to deal with breaking news. She has a degree in History from OberlinCollege, and spent two years studying Mass Communications at the University of Texas-Austin. In her spare time, Carolyn loves to read, cook, and sew.

Catherine works for wiseGEEK mainly to travel in Europe. C When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completely destroyed. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest. One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely shattered mobile home, a depressed expression twisting her features. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Clutching (紧握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear. The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I taped the picture of the young family to our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three- year-old Meghan. “We have so much. And these poor people now have nothing,” I said. “We’ll share what we have with them.” I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods. While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up discarded toys and games. "I'll help you find something for the little girl when I'm done with this," I said. The boys placed the toys they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat, painted-on-face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys. “Oh, Honey,” I said.“You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan nodded seriously, eyes glistening with held-back tears. ‘”Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make that other little girl happy, too．” Swallowing hard, I stared at Meghan for a long moment, wondering how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me. For I suddenly realized that anyone can give their cast-offs away. True generosity is giving that which you value most. Honest benevolence (善行) is a three-year-old offering a valuable, though shabby, doll to a little girl she doesn’t know with the hope that it will bring this child as much pleasure as it brought her. I, who had wanted to teach, had been taught. The boys had watched, open-mouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box. Without a word, Brad rose and went to his room. He came back carrying one of his favorite action figures. He hesitated briefly, clutching the toy, then looked over at Meghan and placed it in the box next to Lucy. A slow smile spread across Brett’s face. Then he jumped up, eyes twinkling as he ran to fetch some of his prized Matchbox cars. Astonished, I realized that the boys had also recognized what little Meghan’s gesture meant. Swallowing back tears, I pulled all three of them into my arms. Taking the cue from my little one, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes. I replaced it with the new hunter green jacket that I had found on sale last week. I hoped the young woman in the picture would love it as much as I did. It’s easy to give that which we don’t want any more, but harder t
