6 z( w+ B5 x( u( f0 J' h" X        Within about 50 million years, one of the mammals (哺乳动物) that lives in a marine environment, the whale(鲸), has developed into the largest of all animal forms. However, at least for the last 150 years, trouble has closed in on whales from humans.* E0 F$ A6 ^& c0 k0 M: Z# y! l7 ]& ]! U
        Whales have been hunted since about the eleventh century. Certain types of whales have been hunted too much. Recently, their number has been reduced so greatly that they are in danger of becoming extinct(灭绝的). People are worried about the fact that the number of whales is getting smaller and smaller. They are working to save them.
( s6 {% @' Y) ~' A5 {& D! X        There are reasons why people want to protect the whales. One reason is that whales help to keep a balance between plants and animals. People have been throwing their wastes into the oceans and seas, and these wastes increase the amount of salt in ocean and seawater. The increased salt helps some plants and some very small creatures to grow but these plants and small creatures are harmful to fish. However, whales are eating large numbers of plants and animals that grow in very salty water. In this way, whales are dong a good job as they keep the ocean water clean enough for the fish. In addition, because fish supply necessary food for many people, whales become our good friends which we want to save.
5 T0 h+ u6 \0 c0 ]1 O* O        Some people are now working to save whales by using the law. They hold meetings to ask fishermen to reduce the number of whales which can be killed in a year. They also work within countries to persuade law makers to make whaling against the law and to make the use of whale products against the law too.
; b+ f) Z2 g: A" E) h! y        Now this struggle to save whales is going on in many places in the world. Some governments will not let people sell whale products in their countries. Other governments have changed the law about whaling. Many people believe that since the number of whales is regarded as a serious world problem, the remaining whales will be saved.

: E) l& u0 i2 H* ]% O        We have saved as a final set of emotions the two most important emotions connected with other people: love and its opposite, hate. Love can be seen everywhere. Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be two fold. First, love is a very complex(复杂) emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly unlike many radial emotions, radical love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.5 J1 _9 q4 Y) J0 s( h
        What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feeling of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy each other’s company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another.
5 _: k9 ]* N: Z, _- k        Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they are different in some respects, they share one important characteristic; a strong positive feeling toward another.1 \% [' F: S, a5 O0 U
        Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate for some precise reason.; [# C5 T% C$ {5 {2 A8 A; [2 h/ q. a
        Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factor. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, “Is it bad to hate?” The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no.” Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.

7 ?; j: y: o$ D! Y, M4 [' z0 A$ vMrs. Wilson and her daughters went to look at the house. Sure enough, there was a “For Rent” sign in the window. A woman next door told them that the owner was Antonio Pompei, who owned a bakery (面包房) farther up the street.
! z1 `3 _' d# z: ^& n$ q Mrs. Wilson has great difficulty walking for she is almost blind, so she waited in the car while her daughters went along to the bakery. The daughters met Mr. Pompei, who agreed to rent the house. However, the daughters wanted to see the inside of the house before they agreed to rent it. One of the bakery employees went with them to the house, where he met Mrs. Wilson. All three women liked the house and returned to the bakery to tell Mr. Pompei that they would rent it.2 q!

When Mr. Pompei saw Mrs. Wilson, he quickly walked out of the bakery. He had not realized Mrs. Wilson was Indian. Her daughters look more like their father, who is of a different ethnic origin (种族根源). The next day, Mrs. Wilson and her daughters returned to the bakery in an attempt to rent the house. Because of her blindness, Mr. Wilson was helped out of the car and guided into the bakery by one of her daughters. Mr. Pompei told the women that the house was already rented.1 M: g' b- I/ A. G
The Wilsons suspected discrimination (歧视). As soon as they got home, Mrs. Wilson phoned Mr. Pompei, without identifying herself, and asked about the house. He said it was still available. When Mrs. Wilson identified herself, Mr. Pompei lost his temper.; ?3 M' S3 I6 o4 W0 v7 d5 O" i) M

        You likely find that life is full of challenges and you often need to keep two or more projects moving at the sometime. The chances are that you have been to college, that you have a management job and that you bring work home at night. You think that you put more effort into your job than many of the people you work with, and you certainly take your work more seriously than most of them. You get angry easily, and if someone is being long-winded(拐弯抹角的), you help them get to the point. You also have trouble finding the time to get your hair cut.

        The beginnings of our hard-driving behavior go right back to childhood. In school you got recognition and perhaps prizes for being quick and bright, for being an achiever, for competing with others and for winning. You likely went on from school to get a series of increasingly better jobs against pretty stiff competition. They were jobs where you had to care about the results, where you constantly had to push things forward and get things done. In your present job you also feel some conflict, either with time or with other people. Some of those you work with don’t seem able to understand the simplest ideas, and they often put a brake (约束) on what you’re trying to achieve. The conflict may not take place every day. You pride yourself on being able to keep the lid on. But it’s always there, under the surface.. V; c+ o" K6 t8 S& N" Q4 l

Office of Scientific Research and Development was created in June 1941 and given combined responsibility with the war department in the Manhattan Project to develop a nuclear bomb. After four year of intensive research and development efforts, an atomic device was set off on July 16, 1945, in a desert area at Alamogodo, New Mexico, generating an explosive power equal to that of more than 15,000 tons of TNT. Thus, the atomic bomb was born. Truman, the new U. S. president, believed that this terrible object might be used to defeat Japan in a way less costly of U.

. t9 S4 o0 q$ @- T2 YThe advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, poor land must be cultivated (耕种) and the good land worked intensively (精耕细作地). Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more chance of development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand.
" g9 e( t" a$ `! [6 d- GOne of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw material. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, the first concern of government will be to set a limit on the birthrate, whatever the final result may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex (复杂的). A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods (制成品). When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and building industry grows weaker. Faced with concerns such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.+ t+ q1 T. n4 r; G% L7 y

The smart job-seeker needs to get rid of several standard myths (不实之事) about interviewing before starting to pound the pavement looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.
% Q- E8 e% n" ]  y0 M  m  jMyth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer
% G0 w/ L8 Q2 D5 s' o% b4 g( ~' EOnly half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you don’t want! Incompetent job-seekers, however, become so used to accommodating (适应) employers’ expectations that they often easily qualify for jobs they don’t want. So, before you do back-flips for an employer, be sure you want the job.) u, k, }  a- d5 `6 g0 S# C
Myth 2: Always please the interviewer
+ ~+ @4 k2 ]3 X, C; @. d5 lNot true. Try to please yourself. Giving answers that you will suit a potential employer, losing touch with your own feelings (in order to get in touch with some other person’s feelings) and, in general, practicing an awful policy of appeasement (姑息) are certain to keep you from success and progress. Of course, don’t be hostile—nobody wants to hire someone hostile. But there is plainly a middle ground between being too ingratiating (讨好的) and being hostile. An effective interview (whether you are offered the job or not) is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your neighbor on an airplane./ B% {# a0 ^! @" D* E
Myth 3: Try to control the interview
) c" Y' g. A/ ~0 A& c- r) P# _Nobody “controls” an interview—neither you nor the interviewer—although one or both parties often try. When somebody tries to control us, we resent it. When we try to control somebody, the resent us. Remember, you can’t control what employers think of you, just as they can’t control what you think of them. So hang loose when interviewing; never dominate the interview.
3 x4 u' t- c1 }* F2 eMyth 4: Don’t disagree with the interviewer" R- p. I4 g( @
Another silly myth. If you don’t disagree at times, you become, in effect, a “yes” man or woman. Don’t be afraid to disagree with your interviewer—in a pleasant and pleasing way. And don’t hesitate to change your mind. The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer thinks, “There’s a person with an open mind!” The conventional wisdom says “be yourself,” true enough. But how many people can be themselves if they don’t feel free to disagree?

Passage 8/ R+ N" Q  s6 x9 N+ H5 N. ?$ X# N
        Someone said to a man, “Travel and see the world.” He answered, “Why should I? People are the same everywhere. They are born. They are babies. They are children. They are adults. They grow old. They die. They have the same feelings. They feel love and hate, happiness and sadness, security and fear, pride and shame. That is why I do not want to travel. I can learn everything here. I’m going to stay home.”
" I: [9 u* z) V5 O5 A. x        The man was right. He was also wrong. People are the same, but people are also different. They all have the same pattern of life—birth, youth, old age, death. But these stages of life have different values in different cultures. Also, while all people have the same feelings, the causes of these feelings are different. A situation that may bring happiness in one place may not bring happiness in another place.0 m4 U3 u# ^: C1 [8 e9 o
        For example, in many countries old age is a happy time. Young people in these countries show respect to the old people. In Korea, old people are honored and respected. When they are too old to live alone, they live with a son, daughter, or other relatives. When they become sixty-one years old, it is a very happy and important event. There is a big party with many guests. They receive many gifts. When people reach this time in life, the attitudes of their family and their community change toward them. Everyone looks forward to this time.
9 ]! a7 U! @6 Z& O        In the United States, it is quite different for old people… Most old people do not live with their children or relatives. For many North Americans, old age is not a happy time. Most North Americans want to stay young. They try to act like young people as long as possible. They even try to speak the language of the young. They do not like to grow old because they will not get honor or respect or attention. Also, businesses do not want old people to work for them. So, old people usually live alone and they do not have many things to do. Old age can be a sad and lonely time for them.

        One of the strongest reasons for the raising of the school leaving age has been that it will bring us nearer to the ideal of “equal opportunity”.# ~3 q9 k- u) \1 |7 t; e) R8 I( m
        Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty os steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good think that no one who is really bright can fail to become successful when the state systme is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in others ways.
* u# ]/ y: @5 X5 d4 T        Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all males aged between 18 and 20. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.
0 M! i( O) M, }, v* |        It has also shown that the percentage of working class chidren going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.- D* j: o' K: E! r, q% S* D( S
        It is clear from this and much other evident that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes—money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave thave much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money another wage-earner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It’s up to you.”: Z6 t8 K9 g0 N) \4 e( H

Passage 10
+ `) G/ a5 O; r3 [        What you give your relatives, friends, husband, or wife can help you know yourself better. Also, what they give you can tell you something about ther personality. Most gift-giving (and getting) shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things bought and the people who buy them. Here is a guide to who gives what—and why.
. s) D5 ]5 F% S$ J        The clothes you wear tell something aobut your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, they’re saying, “I agree with you. I like you the way you are.” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment. On the other hand, a gift of clothing that does not match your personality could be an insult to your character.
6 o# g$ v' r, Y# j, |3 p        Making someghing by hand has become the exceptiong in many countries today—so much so that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered unusual. If you receive a homemade gift, you’re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. People who give homemade gifts may be said to be very generous. They’ve given time and emotion, two important characteristics of bing creative.7 ~: i" a0 p+ v' ?
        A person who thinks of food when thinking of a gift is a good example of what human warmth means. Whether you give a box of chocolates, a bag of oranges, or a ball of cheese, all carry the same message of comfort and support.
, |% Q$ n" H9 [  A        People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. If you happen to receive a large, heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are. Of course, reading is a way of feeling the emotions of another person and of learning new things. Giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or a newly learned meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.

These slightly overweight and highly educated men turn into tough street fighter in a real-life, underground fight club. Kicking, punching and swinging every household object imaginable—from frying pans and tennis rackets to pillowcases stuffed with soda cans—they beat each other mercilessly in a garage in this bedroom community south of San Francisco. Then, bloodied and bruised, they limp back to their desks in the morning.
8 ~6 L9 v% f* F! |6 B: K        Inspired by the 1999 film Fight Club, strring Brad Pitt and Ed Norton, underground fight clubs have sprung up across the country as a way for desk workers and angry youths to release their frustrations and prove themselves. “This is as close as you can get to a real fight, even though I’ve never been in one,” one soft-spoken fight club participant said.

        As we consider what makes one man better than the other, let’s look at two examples. The first example is a man who has a good job, a healty body, and a loving family. His success is due to good decisions. He chose the correct subjects to study when he was at the university. Now that he’s out of school, he always schedules his time well so that he can get everything done at the proper time. He exercises and eats well, as he understands the benefits of this. In addition, in order to achieve happiness in the home, he spends time with his family and makes sure they all have what they need. On the other hand, the second man is something less than the successful person the first man is. What’s wrong with him?* F6 ?$ U4 l$ F; D8 ~, j% }0 i+ d, B- `
        Good sense is the ability to know what is true or right from what is not true or wrong. And some people might think that the second man lacks good sense. However, the person who thinks this is mistaken. Actually, since everyone has the same amount of good sense, the first man dose not have an advantage over the second in this respect. The second man has a good mind, and he has the ability to judge things well.' l: [+ j5 Z3 E" {$ U
        The second man runs into trouble, because he directs his thoughts along a different path. He considers other things, different from the first man. The problem is that he does not apply his mind rightly, as does the first one. Thus, he is not capable of advancing further than he does.

Passage 13
; b' V. j6 k& c) _  rOne of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a woman who spent almost half of her life in China, a country on a continent thousands of miles from the United States. In her life time she earned her country’s most highly acclaimed literary award, the Pulitzer Prize, and also the most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world, the Nobel Prize for Literature.
4 K+ Z# R1 c' _  R. e/ LPearl S. Buck was almost a household word throughout much of her lifetime because of her prolific output, which consisted of some eighty-five published works, including several dozen novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for children, and more than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some twenty-five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were set in China, the land in which she spent so much of her life. 8 T' ]6 M2 z# ^
Her books and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the West. As the product of those two cultures she became, as she described herself, “mentally bifocal”. Her unique background made her into an unusually interesting and versatile human being. As we examine the life of Pearl Buck, we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate people: a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer, and a humanitarian and philanthropist. One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck without learning about each of the three.         Though honored in her lifetime with the William Dean Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in addition to the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, Pearl Buck as a total human being, not only a famous author, is a captivating subject of study. 6 y+ N$ S: _" `5 s1 R6 p# B9 v

Passage 14
! M# P, Y# r/ x* t) `- B& R" E; V$ WChildren have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.! W$ y; t: f# h# R: C/ W& n4 K
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
7 b5 A9 G( ^( S! q' RIt appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
