W: What a great day, don’t you think?
M: I guess so. I hadn’t noticed. I feel awful because I watched television until after midnight last night.
W: After midnight! Did you watch so late because you were bored? I usually watch TV only if I have nothing better to do.
M: Bored? No, I was upset because I left my meal tickets in the cafeteria. That’s more than fifty dollars’ worth of meal tickets down the drain.
W: So, did watching TV make you feel better?
M: Well, I felt a bit better while I was watching TV. You know, it can take my mind off my troubles. But after I turned the TV off, I just felt disgusted with myself for wasting so much time.
W: I’ve had that feeling before.
M: I had intended to watch just one program, but somehow I couldn’t make myself switch off the TV.
W: Actually, I’ve read that there’s a scientific explanation for that. It seems that there’s a part of the brain that processes complex information, but that part becomes less active while watching TV.
M: That’s certainly how I felt last night — like my brain wasn’t very active.
W: That’s not the worst of it. If you watch TV a lot, or for a long time, that part of the brain — the part that processes complex information — shows lowered activity and you become more and more passive.
M: That’s incredible.
W: Next time you feel upset, you should go swimming. That’s what I do, and it always makes me feel better.
M: I suppose. Right now, I’ve got to go to the cafeteria and get some more meal tickets.

选项
A、Part of the brain requires more nutrients.
B、Part of the brain is not used at all.
C、It takes shorter to process visual information.
D、It takes longer to process complex information.
答案
D
解析
[C]说的是获取信息的时间短,[D]说的是获取信息的时间长,二者意思正好相反,根据命题规律,其中之一很可能是答案。由对话中提到的…a part of the brain…processes complex information,but…becomes less active while watching TV可知,处理复杂信息时间变长,故答案为[D]。
