Let us suppose that you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children to read any book they wanted to without first checking its contents? Would you take your children to see any film without first finding out whether it is suitable for them? If your answer to these questions is "yes", then you are either extremely permissive. If your answer is "no", then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your children from what you consider to be undesirable influences. In other words, by acting as a censor yourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship.

Now, of course, you will say that it is one thing to exercise censorship where children are concerned and quite another to do the same for adults. Children need protection and it is the parents' responsibility to provide it. But what about adults? Aren't they old enough to decide what is good for them? The answer is that many adults are, but don't make the mistake of thinking that all adults are like you. Censorship is for the good of society as a whole. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.

Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views—often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".

When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, immoral people are given a license to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate artistic with "pornographic". The vast market for pornography would rapidly be exploited. One of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. To argue in favor of absolute freedom is to argue in favor of anarchy.

Society would really be the poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.

让我们假设你在父母的位置。你会让您的孩子阅读任何他们想要的书没有首先检查其内容呢?你可以把你的孩子看到任何电影没有首先发现是否适用于他们吗?如果你这些问题的答案是“是”,那么你要么是非常宽容的。如果你的答案是“不”,那么你在行使你的权利作为家长保护你的孩子从你考虑是不良的影响。换句话说,通过扮演一个审查,你也承认有充足的理由要求审查。

现在,当然,你会说,这是一件事,锻炼孩子们在那里关心和审查制度完全是另一个同样做成年人。孩子们需要保护和,这是父母的责任提供它。但是关于成人呢?他们不是老得足以决定什么对他们有益吗?答案是,很多成年人,但不要让错误的想法,那就是所有的成年人都喜欢你。审查制度是整个社会的利益。像法律,审查维护公众利益。

一些人认为它是可耻的事情,审查员应该干扰的艺术作品。这人是谁,他们说,禁止这个伟大的书或削减,伟大的电影吗?没有人可以将自己作为一个高级存在。但我们必须记住两件事。首先,真正的艺术作品而言,现代网络审查也非常自由的在他们更自由views-often比大部分地区的公众。艺术价值的是一些审查清楚地认识到他们。其次,我们必须牢记的大量书刊、戏剧和电影能在审查是非常远”的艺术作品”。

当讨论审查制度,因此,我们不应该把注意力转移到伟大的杰作,但是应该考虑到大量的出版物和电影大部分的娱乐产业。当审查放宽,不道德的人许可了生产几乎任何“艺术”的名称。有一个上升趋势等同于艺术与“色情”。绝大的色情市场将迅速被利用。最伟大的事情之一,审查并是防止某些人赚取丰厚利润通过腐蚀别人思想。争论支持绝对自由是辩论而偏爱混乱。

社会真的会是贫困的如果它剥夺了本身的明智的忠告和抑制的影响审查员提供。

Each summer, no matter how pressing my work schedule, I take off one day exclusively for my son. We call it dad-son day. This year our third stop was the amusement park, where be discovered that he was tall enough to ride one of the fastest roller coasters (过山车) in the world. We blasted through face-stretching turns and loops for ninety seconds. Then, as we stepped off the ride, be shrugged and, in a distressingly calm voice, remarked that it was not as exciting as other rides he’d been on. As I listened, I began to sense something seriously out of balance.

Throughout the season, I noticed similar events all around me. Parents seemed hard pressed to find new thrills for indifferent kids. Surrounded by ever-greater stimulation, their young faces were looking disappointed and bored.

Facing their children’s complaints of “nothing to do“, parents were shelling out large numbers of dollars for various forms of entertainment. In many cases the money seemed to do little more than buy transient relief from the terrible moans of their bored children. This set me pondering the obvious question:“How can it be so hard for kids to find something to do when there’s never been such a range of stimulating entertainment available to them?”

What really worries me is the intensity of the stimulation. I watch my little daughter’s face as she absorbs the powerful onslaught (冲击) of arousing visuals and bloody special effects in movies.

Why do children immersed in this much excitement seem starved for more? That was, I realized, the point. I discovered during my own reckless adolescence that what creates excitement is not going fast, but going faster. Thrills have less to do with speed than changes in speed.

I’m concerned about the cumulative effect of years at these levels of feverish activity. It is no mystery to me why many teenagers appear apathetic (麻木的) and burned out, with a “been there, done that” air of indifference toward much of life. As increasing numbers of friends’children are prescribed medications-stimulants to deal with inattentiveness at school or

anti-depressants to help with the loss of interest and joy in their lives-I question the role of kids’ boredom in some of the diagnoses.

My own work is focused on the chemical imbalances and biological factors related to behavioral and emotional disorders. These are complex problems. Yet I’ve been reflecting more and more on how the pace of life and the intensity of stimulation may be contributing to the rising rates of psychiatric problems among children and adolescents in our society.

每年夏天,无论多么紧迫的工作时间表,我脱下一天专门为我的儿子。我们称之为dad-son天。今年我们的第三站是娱乐公园,在那里被发现他是足够高乘坐最快的云霄飞车(过山车)在世界。我们通过爆破

face-stretching转身环路为九十秒。然后,当我们走出骑,耸耸肩,在令人平静的声音,说,这不是令人兴奋

的其他骑他就一直在。当我听到,我逐渐意识到一些严重失去平衡。

在整个赛季中,我注意到我周围所有的类似事件。父母似乎很难找到新的刺激漠不关心的孩子。进一步刺激所包围,他们年轻的脸看起来很失望和无聊。

面对孩子的抱怨“无关”,父母们花费大量的美元用于各种形式的娱乐。在许多情况下,钱似乎做的仅仅是

买瞬态摆脱可怕的呻吟的无聊的孩子。这让我思考一个显而易见的问题:“怎么这么努力让孩子们去找些事

做的时候从来没有这样广泛的刺激娱乐提供给他们?”

我担心的是真正的高强度的刺激。我看我的小女儿,她的脸上吸收猛烈攻击(冲击)激发的视觉效果和血腥的电影特效。

为什么孩子沉浸在这样令人兴奋似乎渴望更多吗?那是,我意识到这一点。我发现在我自己的鲁莽的青春

期所创造的兴奋不是太快,但要快。刺激那样的速度比改变速度。

我关心的累积效应年在这些层面的狂热活动。它并不神秘我为什么许多青少年显得冷漠(麻木的)和烧坏了,还有一个“早已经历过”的空气对大部分生活的冷漠。因越来越多的朋友的孩子都规定

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion-a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups. Society's economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive to work. In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind. For as we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy them.

In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions

are the basic instrument of our survival and adaptation. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways. As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True we consider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us-hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We al so use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experiences with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are“good”and others are“bad”, and we ap ply these categories to every aspect of our social life-from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact, society exploits our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty morality, pride shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts

31.The reason why people might not be able to stay alive in a world without emotion is that _______ .

(A)they would not be able to tell the texture of objects.

(B)they would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them.

(C)they would not be happy with a life without love.

(D)they would do things that hurt each other's feelings.

2 ：

32.According to the passage, people's learning activities are possible because

they_______ .

(A)believe that emotions are fundamental for them to stay alive.

(B)benefit from providing help and support to one another.

(C)enjoy being rewarded for doing the right thing.

(D)know what is vital to the progress of society.

3 ：

33.It can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is

dependent on _______.

(A)the ability to make money.

(B)the will to work for pleasure.

(C)the capacity to enjoy incentives.

(D)the categorizations of our emotional experiences

4 ：

34.Emotions are significant for man's survival and adaptation because _______.

(A)they provide the means by which people view the size or shape of objects.

(B)they are the basis for the social feeling of agreement by which society is

maintained.

(C)they encourage people to perform dangerous achievements.

(D)they generate more love than hate among people.

5 ：

35.The emotional aspects of an object are more important than its physical aspects

in that they_______ .

(A)help society exploit its members for profit.

(B)encourage us to perform important tasks.

(C)help to perfect the legal and penal system.

(D)help us adapt our behavior to the world surrounding us

想象在一个世界里,有突然没有情感冲突的世界中,人类就觉得没有爱和幸福,没有恐怖或恨。试着去想象这样一个转变的后果。人们不可能一直活着:知道没有欢乐也不是愉悦,焦虑和惧怕,他们会像可能重复的行为伤害他们的行为,这是有益的。他们不能学习:他们不能受益于经历,因为这世界将缺乏表情的奖励和惩罚。社会将很快消失:人们将可能伤害彼此提供帮助和支持。人际关系就不会存在了:在世界没有朋友或敌人,

将不会有婚姻,有情的伙伴,或债券的团体成员之一。社会的经济基础(支柱)将会被摧毁:由于年收入1000

万美元不再会愉快的比赚10美元,就不会有动力去工作。事实上,就不会有任何形式的激励。正如我们将看

到的,激励意味着能力,享受他们。

在这样一个世界,人类物种的可能性会存活下来的也近乎于零,因为情绪是我们的生存的基本手段和适应。

情绪对我们的世界结构在很多重要的方面。作为个人,我们将对象的基础上,我们的情感。真的,我们考虑了长度、形状、大小或纹理,但一个物体的物理方面都不重要了,他已经做了什么或如何us-hurt我们,让我们感到惊讶,我们愤怒或让我们快乐。同时,我们使用彩色由情感分类在我们的家庭、社区以及整个社会。我们的情感体验与对象和事件是一个社会情感的协议,某些事情和行为都是“好”和“坏”其他人,我们运用这些类别的各个方面我们的社会life-from我们吃什么食物,我们穿什么,我们如何保持承诺,人们会接受我们的团队。事实上,社会利用了我们的情感上的反应和态度,如忠诚度道德、骄傲羞耻,内疚,恐惧和贪婪,为了保持自己的时候,它给予高回报个体执行重要的任务,如手术,使英雄的个体不寻常或危险的成就,如飞行的战斗机在一场战争中,并使用法律刑法(刑法的)系统,使人们不敢从事反社会行为

31。为什么人们不可能一直活在世界没有情感是_________。

Questioned Educational Function of TV

Children learn almost nothing from television, and the more they watch the less they

remember. They regard television purely as entertainment, resent programs that demand on them and are surprised that anybody should take the medium seriously. Far from being over-excited by programs, they are mildly bored with the whole thing. These are the main conclusions from a new study of children and television. The author- Cardiac Cullingford confirms that the modern child is a dedicated viewer. The study suggests that there is little point in the later hours. More than a third of the children regularly watch their favorite programs after 9 p.m. all 11-year-olds have watched programs after midnight.

Apart from the obvious waste of time involved, it seems that all this viewing has little effect. Children don't pay close attention, says Cullingford, and they can recall few details. They can remember exactly which programs they have seen but they can rarely explain the elements of a particular plot. Recall was in "reverse proportion to the amount they had watched". It is precisely because television, unlike a teacher, demands so little attention and response that children like it, argues Cullingford. Programs seeking to put over serious messages are strongly disliked. So are people who frequently talk on screen. What children like most, and remember best, are the advertisements. They see them as short programs in their own right and particularly enjoy humorous presentation. But again, they react strongly against high-pressure advertisements that attempt openly to influence them.

On the other hand, they are not emotionally involved in the programs. If they admire the stars, it is because the actors lead glamorous lives and earn a lot of money, not because of their fictional skills with fast cars and shooting villains. They are perfectly clear about the functions of advertisements; by the age of 12, only one in 10 children believes what even favorite ads say about the product. And says Cullingford, educational television is probably least successful of all in imparting attitudes or information.

练习：<

1. The study of children and television shows that

A) it is useless for television companies to delay adult viewing to the later hours.

B) It is a waste of time for children to watch adult programs on TV.

质疑电视的教育功能 儿童学习从电视上几乎没有，他们更看他们记住的就越少。他们认为电视作为娱乐

纯粹，怨恨，要求对他们的惊讶，任何人都应该认真中期计划。远离受计划过度兴奋，他们是轻度无聊整个事情。这些都是从一个新的儿童和电视研究的主要结论。笔者心脏Cullingford证实，现代的孩子是一个专门的观众。这项研究表明，有小点在以后的时间。超过三分之一的儿童经常收看自己喜爱的节目，晚上9点后，所有11岁的孩子观看午夜后的方案。除了涉及的时间明显浪费，似乎这一切观看收效甚微。孩子不密切关注，Cullingford说，他们还记得一些细节。他们可以记住哪些方案，他们已经看到，但他们很少能解释一个特定的情节元素。召回是在“反向他们所关注的金额的比例”。正是因为电视，不像老师，要求这么小的关注和响应，孩子们喜欢它，认为Cullingford。方案寻求把严重的消息，强烈不喜欢。因此是人们经常谈论屏幕上的人。儿童最喜欢的，记得最牢的，是广告。他们看到了他们作为自己的短节目和特别喜欢幽默的演讲。不过，他们强烈反对高压公然企图影响他们的广告。另一方面，他们没有情感参与的方案。如果他们崇拜的明星，这是因为演员们过着光鲜亮丽的生活，赚了很多钱，因为他们虚构的技能与快速车和射击坏人。他们是完美的广告功能明确，12岁，仅在10个孩子之一，相信什么，即使是最喜爱的广告说，有关产品。并说，教育电视Cullingford，可能是在传授态度或信息至少所有的成功。

The predictability of our mortality rates is something that has long puzzled social scientists. After all, there is no natural reason why 2,500 people should accidentally shoot themselves each year or why 7,000 should drown or 55,000 die in their cars. No one establishes a quota for each type of death. It just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year.

A few years ago a Canadian psychologist named Gerald Wilde became interested in this phenomenon. He noticed that mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths throughout the Western world have remained oddly static throughout the whole of the century, despite all the technological advances and increases in safety standards that have happened in that time. Wilde developed an intriguing theory called “risk homeostasis”. A ccording to this theory, people instinctively live with a certain level of risk. When something is made safer, people will get around the measure in some way to reassert the original level of danger. If, for instance, they are required to wear seat belts, they will feel safer and thus will drive a little faster and a little more recklessly, thereby statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers. Other studies have shown that where an intersection is made safer, the accident rate invariably falls there but rises to a compensating level elsewhere along the same stretch of road. It appears, then, that we have an innate need for danger.

In all events, it is becoming clearer and clearer to scientists that the factors influencing our lifespan are far more subtle and complex than had been previously thought. It now appears that if you wish to live a long life, it isn’t simply a

matter of adhering to certain precautions … eating the right foods, not smoking, driving with care. You must also have the right attitude. Scientists at the Duke University Medical Center made a 15-year study of 500 persons personalities and found, somewhat to their surprise, that people with a suspicious or mistrustful nature die prematurely far more often than people with a sunny disposition. Looking on the bright side, it seems, can add years to your life span.

11. What social scientists have long felt puzzled about is why .

A) the mortality rate can not be predicted

B) the death toll remained stable year after year

C) a quota for each type of death has not come into being

D) people lost their lives every year for this or that reason

12. In his research, Gerald Wilde finds that technological advances and increases in safety standards .

A) have helped solve the problem of so high death rate

B) have oddly accounted for mortality rates in the past century

C) have reduced mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths

D) have achieved no effect in bringing down the number of deaths

13. According to t he theory of “risk homeostasis”, some traffic accidents result from .

A) our innate desire for risk

B) our fast and reckless driving

C) our ignorance of seat belt benefits

D) our instinctive interest in speeding

14. By saying “…statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers” (Para. 2),the author means .

A) wearing seat belts does not have any benefits from the statistic point of view

B) deaths from wearing seat belts are the same as those from not wearing them

C) deaths from other reasons counterbalance the benefits of wearing seat belts

D) wearing seat belts does not necessarily reduce deaths from traffic accidents

15. Which of the following may contribute to a longer life span?

A) Showing adequate trust instead of suspicion of others

B) Eating the food low in fat and driving with great care

C) Cultivating an optimistic personality and never losing heart

D) Looking on the bright side and developing a balanced level of risk

这种可预测性的死亡率是一件长久以来困扰的社会科学家。毕竟,没有自然的原因为什么2500人应该不小心击中自己每一年或者7000年或者55000年为什么应该淹没死亡的汽车。没有人建立了一个配额为每种类型的死亡。它只是发生,他们遵循一个一致的模式年复一年。

几年前,一个加拿大心理学家杰拉尔德·王尔德感兴趣了这种现象。他注意到,死亡率意外死亡的暴力和整个西方世界一直奇怪的是静态在整个21世纪,尽管所有的技术进步和提高安全标准,发生在那个时间。王尔德开发一个有趣的理论称为“风险体内平衡”。根据这一理论,人们本能地生活在一定程度的风险。当有了更安全的,人们会绕过这项措施在某些方面重申原始水平的危险。例如,如果他们必须佩戴安全带,他们会感到更安全,从而将开快一点,多一点不计后果的行为,从而抵消统计学的好处,安全带的授予。其他的一些研究已经表明,在一个十字路口是由更安全、事故率总是落在那里,但是上升到别处补偿水平沿着同一段路。看来,然后,我们需要有一种天生的危险。

在所有的事件中,它正变得越来越清晰,科学家们,我们的寿命影响因素更微妙和复杂的比预想。现在看来,如果你想长寿,它不是简单的坚持一定的预防措施…吃正确的食物,不吸烟,小心驾驶。你还必须有正确的态度。科学家们在杜克大学医学中心做了一个为期15年的研究,发现500人的个性,有点令他们惊讶的是,人们用一个怀疑或不信任自然过早死亡的频率远远高于开朗的人。从好的方面,似乎可以延长你的寿命。

11。社会学家早就感到不解的是,为什么。

一)死亡率不能预报

B)死亡人数保持稳定,年复一年

C)配额为每种类型的死还没有形成

D)人们失去了他们的生命每年的这个或那个原因

12。在他的研究中,杰拉尔德·王尔德发现,技术进步和提高安全标准。

一)帮助解决这个问题,所以高死亡率

B)有奇怪的是占死亡率在过去的一个世纪

C)已经降低了死亡率,暴力和意外死亡

D)取得了没有效果在降低死亡的数量

13。根据这个理论的“风险体内平衡”,一些交通事故造成的。

一)我们天生渴望风险

B)我们的快速而卤莽驾驶

C)我们的无知的安全带的好处

We all know that DNA has the ability to identify individuals but, because it is inherited, there are also regions of the DNA strand which can relate an individual to his or her family (immediate and extended), tribal group and even an entire population. Molecular Genealogy (宗谱学) can use this unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family trees. Pedigrees (家谱) based on such genetic markers can mean a breakthrough for family trees where information is incomplete or missing due to adoption, illegitimacy or lack of records. There are many communities and populations which have lost precious records due to tragic events such as the fire in the Irish courts during Civil War in 1921 or American slaves for whom many records were never kept in the first place.

The main objective of the Molecular Genealogy Research Group is to build a database containing over 100,000 DNA samples from individuals all over the world. These individuals will have provided a pedigree chart of at least four generations and a small blood sample. Once the database has enough samples to represent the world genetic make-up, it will eventually help in solving many issues regarding

genealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written records. Theoretically, any individual will someday be able to trace his or her family origins through this database.

In the meantime, as the database is being created, molecular genealogy can already verify possible or suspected relationships between individuals. “For example, if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related, but no written record proves this relationship, we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of DNA from both and looking for common markers (in this case we can look primarily at the Y chromosome (染色体)),” explains Ugo A. Perego, a member of the BYU Molecular Genealogy research team.

第四单元

(题目不一样)

People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.

Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as “nature/nurture”.

Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.

Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, BF. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.

The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” proponents t o conclude that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.

Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.

41. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Nature or Nurture.

B. Cooperate or Competitive.

C. Intelligence: Product of Experiences.

D. Behavior: Product of Instincts.

42. Wh at does the author mean by “two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed”(Para. 2)?

A. Two different schools have been established to study the matter.

B. Two different kinds of ideas have formed.

C. The two schools are debating with each other.

D. Because of the two schools, there are two approaches and debates.

43. According to the passage, behaviorists believe that ______.

A. humans should behave mechanically

B. human behavior patterns are based on biological and genetic factors

C. human behavior is determined mainly by their surroundings

D. factors in the environment have little influence on people’s personalities

44. As to blacks score below whites on standardized intelligence tests in the United States, we think it

probable that ______.

A. blacks are genetically inferior to whites

B. blacks don’t have the same opportunity for education as whites do

C. blacks and whites develop different responses

D. none of the above statements gives a satisfactory answer

45. It can be inferred from the passage that the controversy will continue for

a long time, because ______.

A. there are two schools working on it

B. the key to human behavior is difficult to find

C. both theories are strong

D. each of the theory has gone to an extreme

人们一直想知道他们的个性和行为是如何

形成的很长一段时间。这是不容易解释为什么一个人是聪明的，另一种是没有的，为什么一个是合作，另一个是竞争。

社会科学家，当然，在这些类型的问题非常感兴趣。他们想要说明，为什么我们具有某些特点，并表现出某些行为。但有没有明确的答案，但已经开发出两种不同的学校对此事的思想。正如人们所预料的，这两种方法是从一个非常不同的，有一个很大的每个理论的支持者之间的辩论。争议往往是方便简称为“自然/后天”。

那些支持冲突的一方的“自然”相信，我们的性格和行为模式在很大程度上是由生物和遗

传因素决定的。我们的环境有多大，如果有的话，做我们的能力，特点和行为，是这一理论的核心。采取的一种极端的，这种理论认为，我们的行为是预先确定的这样一个伟大的程度，我们几乎完全由我们的本能支配。

Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. On other occasions he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. "Why do you do it?" they used to ask. "You aren't unhappy at home, are you? .... " "Of course not," Johnny replied. "Then why?" "I just like seeing places," Johnny told them. 等到他 7岁的以后,约翰尼经常离家出走,一年内有两到三次。有时他步行到很远的地方。其他时候,他通常坐公共汽车或甚至坐火车外出,并朴素地坐在里面直到有人来买票。通常警察来带他回家。“为什么你要离家出走?” 警察们问他,“你在家里是幸福的,不是吗? .... ”“当然不是不幸福,”约翰尼回答道。“那是为什么呢?”“我只是喜欢外出探险, ”约翰尼告诉他们。 Johnny continued to "see places" although everyone tried to stop him.

大学英语实验教程阅读1U4U6U7译文

大学英语实验教程阅读1U4U6U7译文 Why Some People Are Most Likely to Succeed为什么有些人更容易取得成功？腹中的火并不能点燃它自己，而究竟你雄心壮志的火花存在于你的基因，家庭，还是文化还是在你的手中呢？科学家们将告诉你答案。Gregg和Drew Shipp的成功并非偶然，当你和这两个拥有着坐落于芝加哥的“HiFi减肥俱乐部”的这对亲兄弟握手的时候，你便能感觉到他们是成功人士。但他们之前并不是这样，他们的老爸曾经是Jovan香水公司的老板，那是一个很厉害的公司，赚了很多钱，因此可以让Shipp不怎么费力地就读完了高中，大学，并且从不需要纠结于要不要付房租或者能否填满冰箱什么的。然而就在他们将要毕业的时候，他们那种漫无目的的感觉反而成为了他们的烦恼。就在同时，他们的父亲变卖了公司，同时也带走了他那可以作为双胞胎兄弟精神后盾的舒适的工作。于是事情就这样发展下去了，当他们毕业时，Shipp兄弟已经完全的转变了他们自己，从两位本应该啃老的男孩变成了充满了进取之心的少年。Gregg说“那时候，我认为我自己几乎是有些想进取想得疯狂”事实证明了这一点，1998年两兄弟开始从事健身房行业，他们先买下了一个很普通的健康俱乐部然后就把它转变成了一个奢侈的设施，在那里，那些有钱人的私人教练可以拥有自己的区域。经过几年的发展，小小的建筑已经容不下这个公司了，接着是另一个，目前Shipp兄弟正着手准备着

第三次迁址。大学通信专业的Gregg管理着俱乐部的顾客，经管专业的Drew则负责解决他们经济上、扩张上的难题。“我们不会停下来，”Drew说“尽管我们现在已经比大学的时候加倍努力，然而还是有很多活没有干完。”这是为什么呢？为什么有些人生下来胸中就有一团火焰，然而另一些人，就像Shipp兄弟，他们就需要一些变故来当他们的指路明灯？甚至有些人从来就没有得到过让他们进取的契机？难道有些家庭注定就不能有优等生，或者注定就不会存在差生吗？难道吉米卡特（美国总统）和比利卡特，杰布布什和尼尔布什（美帝政治家们）都会惊奇的惊叹为何我们都恰好来自同样的基因？在人类行为中里所有的冲动中，上进心的表现即为在别人吃完蛋糕前，尽肯能多的抢到蛋糕（即资源），这应该也是最民主的资源分配方式了吧。毕竟，活着便是一个“零和博弈（所有人收入损失之和为零）”。你每杀死一头水牛，别人就少一头；你占一块地，别人就少一块。当然，这些理论是基于“我们生下来就都很有上进心”的假设上的。当然事实不是这样子，并不是所有人都积极进取，我们中也有很多安于现状的人。比如在那些选择一周工作80小时的人里，也是有很多人在五点就打卡了的。理论上讲，男女对于上进心的理解不同，同样，美洲人和欧洲人，婴儿潮（二战结束那几年出生的）和Gen-X的人（70-80年代人，英文Gen Xers），中产与小康阶级，对于进取心的理解也是不同的。史蒂夫-沃兹尼亚克 （Steve Wozniak）（与乔布斯）共同创立了苹果电脑但是1985

大学英语四级考试的阅读文章体裁有记叙文、说明文、议论文，其中说明文和议论文为主要测试文体；在阅读题材方面，科技类大约占25%，人文类大约占45%，经济类大约占15%，综合类大约占5%，环境类比例小，近几年有上升趋势。因此，学生应针对不同的体裁和题材进行有侧重点的备考复习。 篇章阅读理解(单项选择) 本题型要求考生在阅读完一篇300~350个单词左右的文章后解答5个以单项选择题形式进行考查的题目。其所考查的内容一般不会是从文章能直接找到答案的，而需要考生运用自己的语言知识、逻辑知识等进行推敲和加深理解。这种题型可以考查任何层次、全局性、细节性的内容。虽然提供4个答案供考生进行选择，但干扰项大多具有迷惑性，这就要求考生对所读文章内容达到真正的理解。 1、解题步骤 第一步，读问题，划出标志词或关键词 快速浏览题目，对5个题目有大概印象以便阅读时有侧重点。一般来说，对于本身已经明确其考查内容的题目，标志词和关键词是比较容易找到的，只看一下题干即可，而对于那些并没有出现标志词和关键词的题目，如：The author suggests that，可以在解答试题时浏览选项作出解答。 第二步，略读文章 在略读中，首先阅读第一段，因为第一段通常会告诉我们作者将要讨论的话题。然后再阅读最后一段，以帮助我们对文章内容进行概

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。
