Several weeks ago，I pulled an old road map out of the glove box and passed it to my children.They had never seen the province of Ontario laid out like that before.They stared at the map，asking about all the towns，parks，and other landmarks we'd visited，and I pointed them out on the map.
   Digital maps and GPS are modern wonders that have gotten me out of many confusing places，but paper maps still have a role to play in our lives.Most of us adults learned to read them out of necessity，but it's up to us to pass on that skill to children whose need may not be so obvious，but who still will benefit from it.
   As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic，"When kids learn how to create and use paper maps，they are doing more than just learning how to get around.They are actually developing a fundamental skill that they will use for the rest of their lives.Map reading skill still belongs in today's classroom."
   As a child，I had National Geographic maps taped to my bedroom walls.This aroused my curiosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geography and history lessons because they were tied to places I'd"seen".Even now as a mother of four，I've also spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child.
   Additionally，in this fast-changing world，unexpected events can rapidly influence one's usual way of life.When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected，this old-fashioned skill can get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone.Last but not least，paper maps arouse big picture thinking，showing kids that there's a much bigger world out there and helping to direct them within it.
   So，now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table.

2．    Recently，four professors of neuroscience were awarded the Brain Prize for their life changing contributions to the research on migraines（偏頭痛），a disease previously not understood well.
    Professor Michael Moskowitz from Harvard Medical School，Peter Goadsby from King's College London，Lars Edvinsson from Lund University in Sweden，and Jes Olesen from Rigshospitalet，Denmark，were celebrated as the recipients of the Brain Prize，the world's most distinguished award highlighting achievements in brain research.The Crown Prince of Denmark presented the four professors with a grand prize of roughly 1.5 million dollars on October 25 in Copenhagen，Denmark.
    Migraines remain one of the most serious and common neurological illnesses millions around the world suffer.Studies show that women are three times more likely to experience frequent and intense migraines than men，and symptoms can last up to 24 hours.Typically，these intense head-throbbing pains are also accompanied by vomiting（嘔吐），dizziness and sensitivity to sound，light，and touch.
    After over forty years of research，the four professors pinpointed the major cause — chemicals released within the brain.Previously，the main causes of migraines were thought to be stress，pressure or anxiety.In 1979，Professor Michael Moskowitz discovered that headaches occur when thin nerves are found in our head and face to interact with a highly-sensitive membrane（膜） surrounding our brain，releasing chemicals called neuropeptides.These chemicals can then cause the blood vessels in our head to expand and also send pain signals to the brain.Later，research by Professor Goadsby and Edvinsson revealed that the specific neuropeptide which plays the central role in causing the intense headache is calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP）.Then，Professor Olesen's work further confirmed that CGRP is indeed responsible for the pain，rather than a chemical produced in the brain as a result of the migraines.
    The work by these scientists paves the way for developing more effective medicine.While past treatments can only temporarily stop the pain，scientists say that the newly developed drugs not only prevent migraines but also don't cause the harmful side effects patients had to endure.

（1）Who received the grand prize in the country where he works？

A.Jes Olesen.
B.Peter Goadsby.
C.Lars Edvinsson.
D.Michael Moskowitz.
（2）What do we know about migraines？

A.Migraines are a rare and strange illness.
B.All the symptoms of intense migraines last 24 hours.
C.Females' chance of getting migraines is higher than males'.
D.Vomiting，dizziness and sensitivity lead to migraines.
（3）What is the major cause of migraines？

A.Stress，pressure or anxiety.
B.A highly-sensitive membrane.
C.Chemical called neuropeptides.
D.Interactions between thin nerves.
（4）In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？

A.Medicine.
B.Biology.
C.Literature.
D.Psychology.
