At some time in your life you may have
a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that
you don’t act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit
the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your
behavior.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the
phenomenon of the behavior is how it can change over the years within the same

[单项选择]Passage Two
For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies - and other creatures - learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective reward, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.
It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.
Pap began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he
A. are directly related to pleasure
B. will meet their physical needs
C. will bring them a feeling of success
D. are good for their psychological development

[单项选择] Passage Two
Some years ago industries had more
freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must
today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products
that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and
safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for
the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad
effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there
were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which
showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health
of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At
such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the
problems. New safety rules were often intr
A. conditions in the work place
B. the freedom of industries in the past
C. changes in industrial production
D. the safety and health of workers and customers
[填空题] Passage Two
Some rituals of modern domestic living vary little throughout
the developed world. One such is the municipal refuse collection, usually once a
week, your rubbish bags or the contents of your bin disappear into the bowels of
a special lorry and are carted away to the local tip. To economists, this
ceremony is peculiar, because in most places it is free. Yes, households pay for
the service out of local taxes. (71) Yet the marginal cost of
rubbish disposal is not zero at all. The more people throw away, the more
rubbish collectors and trucks are needed, and the more the local council has to
pay in landfill and tipping fees.
(72) But
as Don Fullerton and Thomas Kinnaman, two American economists, have found, this
seemingly easy application of economic sense to an everyday problem has
surprisingly intricate and sometimes disappointing results. In the past few
years several American towns and cities have started charging
