When you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your own body, what you imagine (or, rather, what you feel) is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer than the one you see. And if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size of shape. When you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs and the natural resistance of the objects around you, the "felt image" of yourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the sensations they cause. The image you make for yourself has rather strange proportions: certain parts feel much larger than they look. If you poke your tongue into a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous; you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror. But although the "felt image" may not have the exact shape you see in the mirror, it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consisent right and felt and top and bottom, it allows you to locate new sensations when they occur. It allows you to find nose in the dark, scratch itches and point to pain. If the felt image is damaged for any reason—if it is cut in half or lost, as it often is after certain strokes which wipe out recognition of one entire side—these tasks become almost impossible. What is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one’s own visual appearance. If one half of the felt image is wiped out or injured, the patient stops recognizing the affected of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of sensation on that side, and, although he fells doctor’s touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side. He loses his ability to accept the affected side as part of his body even when he can see it. If you throw him a pair of gloves and ask him to put them on, he will only glove one hand and leave the other bear. And yet he had had to use the left hand in order to glove the right. The fact that he can see the ungloved hand doesn’t seem to help him, and there is no reason why it should. He can no longer reconcile what he sees with what he feels—the ungloved object lying on the left may look like a hand, but, since there is no felt image corresponding to it, why sould he claim the object as his If a man loses the ability to recognize his left side he will lose feeling on his both sides.

All of us who work in television news are constantly being accused of emphasizing the negative side of everything. We get letters saying we never cover a story unless something terrible happens. Tonight, we’ve put together a little news broadcast, to give you an idea of what it would look like if you had it your way. "O’ Hare Airport in Chicago is one of the nation’s busiest. At 11 a. m. , a jet aircraft with 168 passengers and ten crew members on board started down the long runway. The plane, headed for London, took off without incident. It landed without incident too. Everyone on board is now in London. " "For a report from New York City we take you to our correspondent standing in front of the Rose Plaza, one of New York’s most luxurious hotels. CBS News has learned that last evening, after a night on the town, the Shah of Franakanpan and his semi-beautiful wife returned to their hotel suite after depositing more than a million dollars’ worth of jewelry in the hotel safe. The jewelry included the famous Cooch Behar Diamond. " "This morning, when the safe was opened, all the jewelry including the famous Cooch Behar Diamond was right there where they’d left it." "In Florida, the orange crop was hit by another night of average weather. The oranges just hung there and grew. " "The oil tanks behind me are very close to a residential area. If they were on fire, smoke would be seen billowing up for miles around. They aren’t on fire though; they are just sitting there. " And if that’s what you want to hear, that’s the way it was.

When doctors need information about what does of medication to prescribe, they usually consult a fat navy-blue book called The Physicians’ Desk Reference, or PDR, an extensive compilation of data about drugs form their manufacturers. But the doses recommended in the PDR may be too high for many people and may cause adverse reactions, ranging from dizziness trod nausea all the way to death, according to an article published last month in the journal Postgraduate Medicine.For many drugs—including Viagra, Prozac and some medicines used to treat high blood pressure, allergies, insomnia and high cholesterol—smaller doses would work just as well, With far less risk of bad reactions, said Jay Cohen, the author of the article."Side effects drive a lot of people out of treatment that they need," Dr. Cohen said, nothing that people with chronic conditions like high blood pressure, headaches and depression often gave up trying to treat their illness when they found that the cure was worse than the disease. But if doctors were to individualize dosages for each patient, more people might take their medicine.Dr. Cohen said he became aware of the problem because he encountered many patients who suffered from side effects even though they had taken what were supposedly the correct doses of medicine. When Dr. Cohen consulted medical journals and textbooks, he discovered studies showing that many patients were helped by smaller than usual amounts of medication. And many of his own patients did better with reduced doses of medicine.He said his findings helped explain a study published last year by other researchers, who reported that drug reactions in hospitals were among the nation’s leading causes of death, killing more than 100,000 Americans a year. The deaths that the team studied were not due to medication errors by doctors or patients; they occurred in people taking doses thought to be correct.Dosing guidelines generally tend to be too high because they are based on studies conducted in limited numbers of patients by drug companies when they are seeking approval for new products. For those studies to run efficiently, doses need to be high enough to show as quickly as possible that the drug works. But later, after the drug is approved, far more people take it, sometimes along with other drugs, and individual differences begin to show up. Yet, that information does not always make it into the PDR and it is not well taught in medical school, Cohen said.Dr. Cohen cautioned that patients should not begin tinkering with doses of prescription drugs on their own. He said they needed to work with doctors to adjust the doses safely. With some drugs, doses cannot be changed. And in emergencies, he said, it is always safest to stick with recommended doses. What kind of adverse reactions may the doses recommended by PDR cause()

A. Nausea, death and high cholesterol.
B. Nausea; dizziness and insomnia.
C. Nausea, death and high blood pressure.
D. Nausea, dizziness and death.

M: Do you think women are generally better at certain things than men W: Well, it seems to me women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time. I don’t know whether this has to do with the difference in their brain or whether it’s just how they have to cope more often with more than one thing. For example, it is usually women who work, have babies, look after the babies and take the main responsibility for looking after the home. And maybe it’s practicing all that makes women be better able to do more than one thing at a time. Men, it seems to me, can only concentrate on one thing at a time, including boring domestic things like washing the dishes, If a friend of mine who is a man washes the dishes he’ll find it quite difficult to conduct a conversation at the same time, whereas if I’m doing the dishes I’m always talking to someone, probably cooking something as well, and finding that not too stressful. M: Do you think women are more interested in personal relationships than men W: Generally, yes, though again I don’t know if this is because that from an early age they are taught to please other people, whereas men are always taught to please themselves. I think relationships are more central to most women’s lives. For example, I think men don’t have very good conversations with each other, whereas women do. If you listen to women talking, often they will be having, after a relatively short time of knowing each, fairly personal and truthful conversations, whereas men have conversations not about what I’d call real things. They will talk about their work in a very superficial way, or their interests in a very superficial way, for example, and football is, just a sort of way for men to relate to each other without actually saying anything important, it appears to me. According to the woman, why women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time()

A. She doesn’t know the reason exactly.
Because women are smarter than men.
C. Because women have more things to deal with than men.
D. Because men always refuse to deal with more than one thing at the same time.
