[简答题]Now, a new idea has been put forward which will utilize areas which have no other obvious commercial potential. These are the ponds, small lakes, disused docks and other areas of water, many of which can be found near, or even in the suburbs of big towns. A new style of construction has been designed which will provide a house for less than half the cost of the conventional building. The main saving is, of course, the land, because the new houses will float on water. There will be no need for foundations; instead the house will be built on a frame made of steel which is expected to cost about ￡ 5 000. Above this the builders will make a house with two, three or four bedrooms and all the usual modern conveniences, as well as a roof garden. Each house will be joined to the main services supplying water, gas and electricity and they will have a vacuum sewage disposal(真空污水处理) system. All the service links will have enough flexibility to allow for small differences in the water level caus

[单项选择] Now custom has not been commonly regarded as a subject of any great importance. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior at its most commonplace. As a matter of fact, it is the other way around. Traditional custom, taken the world over, is a mass of detailed behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matte. The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays in experience and in belief and the very great varieties it may manifest. No man ever looks at the world with pristine(未受外界影响的) eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking. Even in his philosophical probings he cannot go behind these stereotypes(固定的模式); his very concepts of the true and the false will still have reference to his particular traditional customs. John Dewey
