课时分层作业(四)　Module 4　A Social Survey—My Neighbourhood Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2022·苏锡常镇四市教学情况调研) A human heart is so much more than an organ.No one says he left his pancreas (胰腺) in San Francisco，for example，or that two kidneys (肾脏) beat as one.Yet most of us believe that two hearts can beat as one，and that the heart reveals our real emotions.Now there's some evidence that such folk_wisdom is true. When people listen to the same story—each alone in their own home—their heart rates rise and fall together，according to a new study published last month in Cell Reports.Professor Lucas Perra，a senior author of the study，said，“It's the story that drives the heart.” This finding corresponds with a mountain of research showing that our brains synchronize (同步) when we interact in the same location or participate in the same activity.The new study goes one step further; it tests whether our heart rates become synchronized while we are taking in the same narrative—even though we're not in the same room nor even listening at the same time as other listeners. Marcel Proust wrote at the turn of the 20th century，“The heart does not lie.” Data tells us much the same: The heart's connection with the brain is so tight that when we hear the same story，our heart rates synchronize.Subjects in the same group produced synchronized heart rate patterns that rose and fell at roughly the same times during the narrative. “The results are heartwarming，”said Prof.Perra.“Heart rate correlation (关联) between subjects does not require them to actually be interactive or even be in the same place.It's not the interaction between people but the story itself that does the trick.” The point，he said，is that when we listen to the same radio program or watch the same TV show，our hearts beat together，showing that “we're not alone”． 1．What does the underlined expression “folk wisdom” refer to in the first paragraph?
