Passage Two

A special research team organized and dispatched from the local medical center performed experiments on the completely blind infants.The test sample included twenty completely blind infants, who lived at home with their mothers or family.The research workers would visit the infants and closely observe the developments of their sense and behavior every two weeks.

In most cases,the research workers tested the response of the blind infant to different stimuli common in the family environment.Generally speaking,a normal baby would react with smiles and laughter to tickling,to the voice of a relative,and to hugging from his family.His reactions were swift and fleet.Nevertheless,most of the blind infants,according to the experiments,responded to stimuli impassively.In fact,they were apathetic and indifferent to any sound.But under some special circumstances,some of them were able to react to the sound of their mothers with a smile.Usually,their response was very slow and phlegmatic.

The tests were conducted over a nine month period,and they began when the blind infants were one month old and ended when they were ten months old.

Passage Three

Welcome to Physiology 100.I’m Doctor Ann Robert.I assume everyone here is a sophomore,since this is the Nursing Department second-year physiology course.If you are frst-year nursing students, please see me after class about transferring into an introductory course.Okay,I’d like to begin my frst lecture by introducing two important terms,vitalism versus mechanism.How many of you have heard of these terms?Oh,I see some of you have.Well,vitalism and mechanism are two completely opposite approaches to human physiology.According to the vitalist,the laws of physics and chemistry alone cannot explain the processes of life.To the vitalist,there is a so-called vital force,and this vital force is totally separate from that of energy.As you may have guessed,vitalism is a kind of philosophical approach.Mechanism,on the other hand,is the view that all life phenomena,no matter how complex, can be explained according to chemical and physical laws.Since we can support mechanism through scientific experimentation,the modern scientist tends to be a mechanist.But vitalism is not totally dismissed,especially in fields such as brain physiology,where terms such as human consciousness haven’t been defned yet in physic-chemical terms.I recently read an interesting article dealt with this very question.Is the mind separate from brain,or is the mind only the chemical and physiological workings of the brain?I’d like to continue with this next time,so that we can speak in more detail.I have some copies of that article.And I want you to take it with you and read it for next week.

Questions 26-30 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26.For whom is the lecture intended?

27.When is this course given?

28.How would a vitalist view the functions of the mind?

29.What does the professor tell her students to do?

30.What is mechanism according to the passage?
