things going on in their environment, and unsurprisingly, increases accident rates. Yet a tiny percentage of people seem uninfluenced.
So how do they do it? Is there something special about the brains of these supertaskers?
When we practice a skill, the brain becomes more efficient and shows less, rather than more activity. It would be a mistake to think that more brain activity always means better. Supertaskers can handle multiple tasks because their brains are born special. The more they have to do, the more efficient they become. Yet, so far, little is known about how this skill might influence them in everyday life.
Can you learn to supertask? Probably not. You can certainly practice different tasks and improve your performance on each one, but that doesn?t mean you?ll get better at doing them all at the same time.

八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(共 10 分，每小题 2 分)
Liverpool native Rob Pope can run like the wind blows. He has
won several world-famous long-distance races, including the Australian Marathon Championships in 2015 and the Liverpool Rock ?n? Roll Marathon in 2015 and 2016. But his biggest running adventure began on September 15, 2016.
Inspired (受……启发) by the main character?s classic cross- country run in the movie Forrest Gump , Pope decided to run back and forth across America. He said that he wanted to make a
difference. He wanted to make people happy, whether it would brighten their day with a funny story about someone he might meet along the way, or through pushing himself. Besides, he wanted to raise money for two organizations that meant a lot to him: the World Wildlife Fund and Peace Direct. WWF is making efforts to double the number of wild tigers by 2022, while the other is trying to solve problems by education and empowerment of women worldwide.
From the day he began his adventure, he was running wherever he was going. He started his journey from Alabama—his Gump-inspired starting point. When he got to California?s Santa Monica Pier, he decided to turn around. Then he continued on to the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde, Maine. Fans of the film will remember that this is exactly where Gump turned around and started running back across the country. Pope plans to do the same. “I have some history in trying to do the best I can, just like
10
Tom Hanks? character in Forrest Gump. I?ve always liked running… but in recent years I have tried to find my limits.”
Pope?s favorite scene in the movie is the one where Gump decides for no reason to go for a little run. He said that he had watched it probably 50 times, “It?s a fictional story of course, but the character had a difficult start in life and experienced many difficulties. Forrest, however, saw no barriers (障碍). He simply tried his best and accepted everyone he met. Isn?t that a wonderful concept?”
61. When did Pope?s biggest running adventure begin? 62. Where did Pope start his journey?
63. Did Pope decide to turn around at California?s Santa Monica Pier? 64. What is Pope?s favorite scene in the movie?
65. Why did Pope decide to run back and forth across America?
