   I was born in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to New York in 1956. At first, I

held several jobs to eam a few dollars. Later, to live a better life, I bought my own taxi car. Till now, I've been in

the taxi car business for thirty-five years. I know there is a lot about taxi drivers that is not so good. Because of

this,people get the wrong impression (印象) that they are bad.

      In fact, taxi drivers are just like other honest people. You can read in the papers almost every week where a

taxi driver tums in money or jewels people leave in their cars. One time in Brooklyn, I found a ring in my car. I

remembered helping a lady with a lot of bags that day, so I went back to the store where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to look for her in order to retum the ring. I didn't get as much as "Thank you. " Still, I

felt good because I had done what was right.

      In all my years of driving a taxi car, I have never had any trouble with the public because I always try to be

nice to everyone. I try to be honest toward others. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try,

the easier it gets.

      I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts there is. It's something that makes a man a good guy. This is

also my way to live by.

Ask Dr Jeffers.

This month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about human brain and how it works. Dear Dr. Jeffers,

One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to ’read minds’. Is there any truth to this story

--Jane Leon, New York, USA

Dear Ms. Leon,

Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven’ t been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects(受试者) were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting(减)the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions (假 设) 70 percent of the time. It’ s not quite mind reading, but it’ s certainly a first step.

--Dr. J.

Dear Dr. Jeffers,

My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle (胳肢)him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn’t do it. Why not

--Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, Canada

Dear Mr. Lewis,

It’s because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you don’ t notice how your shoulder feels while you’ re walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. It’ s that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.

--Dr. J.

A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.

B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.

C. Test subjects have been used to make decisions.

D. Computer programs can copy brain processes.
