• 1．Prosopagnosia Imagine （1）

  （live） in a world where everyone looks vaguely familiar，but you never know for certain exactly who anyone is.Your old classmates，your coworkers，your friends，and even your family members can appear at first glance to be friendly strangers who seem to know you.That's （2）

  life is like for people with prosopagnosia，or face blindness.
      Prosopagnosia is a neurological /（神经性的）disorder that causes someone to have trouble recognizing people they know，or tell between different people's faces. （3）

  difficulties in face recognition were noted over a hundred years ago，understanding of prosopagnosia is still unfolding.The condition has received a significant share of the public's attention after American author Jean Gilbert penned down her struggles with prosopagnosia in her book，The Picasso Mirror.Others， （4）

  well-known British anthropologist Dr.Jane Goodall and Hollywood actor Brad Pitt，have also revealed that they have face blindness.
      A study from Harvard and University College London found that prosopagnosia may affect up to 2% of the population，meaning there （5）

  be millions of face-blind people.For many people just realizing that their difficulties are the result of a recognized neurological condition and （6）

  they are "not alone" makes a huge difference.
      For typical observers face recognition is based on the whole face，but for prosopagnostics it is the opposite - they are （7）

  （focused） on isolated features.They often have to rely on clues instead of someone's facial features，such as hairstyle，clothing，or voice， （8）

  （identify） the people they know.It can be very disturbing for （9）

  who have face blindness，as they do not know how to relate with people.This would hold especially true if the person isn't aware that they might have prosopagnosia.They could become socially withdrawn， （10）

  could lead to depression，panic attacks，social isolation or social anxiety.

  Zoos were originally created as places of entertainment，and their suggested involvement with conservation didn't seriously（1）

  until about 30 years ago，when the Zoological Society of London held the first formal international meeting on the subject.Eight years later，a series of world conferences took place， （2）

  .The Breeding of Endangered Species'，and from this point onwards conservation became the zoo community's buzzword.This commitment has now been clearly defined in The World Zoo Conservation Strategy （WZCS），which --although an important and welcome document-- does seem to be based on a/ an （3）

  optimism about the nature of the zoo industry.
     The WZCS estimates that there are about 10000 zoos in the world，of which around 1000（4）

  a core of quality collections capable of participating in coordinated conservation programs.This is probably the document's first failing，as I believe that 10000 is a serious reserve of the total number of places which claim to be zoological（5）

  .Of course it is difficult to get accurate data but，to put the issue into perspective，I have found that in a year of working in Eastern Europe，I discover fresh zoos on almost a weekly basis.
     The second flaw in the reasoning of the WZCS document is its naive（6）

  in its 1000 core zoos.One would assume that the quality of these institutions would have been （7）

  examined，but it appears that the criterion for inclusion on this select list might merely be that the zoo is a member of a zoo federation or association.This might be a good starting point，working on the basis that members must meet certain standards，but again the facts don't（8）

  the jye.aiory.The greatly respected American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums （AAZPA） has had extremely dubious，and even notorious（臭名昭著的） members.As they were always a collection of bad reputation，one is obliged to （9）

  upon the standards that the Zoo Federation sets when granting membership.The situation is even worse in developing countries where little money is（10）

  for redevelopment.

• 3．If people actually embrace the concept of stress，it can make them stronger，smarter and happier，a Stanford expert says.
     One reason why how you think about stress matters is that it changes how you（1）

  stress.Viewing stress as（2）

  leads people to cope in ways that are less helpful，whether it' s dragging your feet to avoid stress，or imagining worst- case scenes.
  （3）

  ，viewing stress more positively seems to encourage people to cope in ways that help them thrive，whether it's tackling the source of stress，（4）

  social support or finding meaning in it.
     Choosing to see the upside of stress isn't about（5）

  the fact that stress can be harmful.It' s about trying to balance your mindset so that you feel less overwhelmed and（6）

  about the fact that your life is stressful.Psychologists have found that the ability to embrace stress requires a high（7）

  opposite things can be true at the same time.It can be true that（9）

  something stressful can make you sick or depressed，and it can also be true that the same stressful experience can ultimately make you stronger，more compassionate and more resilient over time.
     Stress is most likely to be harmful when the following conditions are（10）

  ：it feels against your will，out of your control and utterly lacking in meaning.If you can（11）

  any of these conditions — by finding some meaning in it — you can reduce the harmful effects of stress.
     Rather than being a sign that something is wrong with your life，feeling stressed can be a（ n）（12）
