{{B}}TEXT C{{/B}}
For a long time we have
worked hard at isolating the individual family. This has increased the
mobility of individuals; and by encouraging young families to break away from
the older generation and the home community, we have been able to speed up the
acceptance of change and the rapid spread of innovative behavior. But at
the same time we have burdened every small family with tremendous
responsibilities once shared within three generations and among a large number
of people—the nurturing of small children, the initiation of adolescents into
adulthood, and care of the sick and disabled and the protection of the aged.
What we have failed to realize is that even as we have separated the single
family from the larger society, we have expected each couple to take on a range
of obligations that traditionally have been shared within a family and a wider
community.
So all over the world there are millions of famil
A. old people can easily accept the change
B. people can move from place to place
C. individuals can hardly become innovative
D. economy develops at high speed
[单项选择]Time and how we experience it have puzzled physicists who have created fascinating theories. But their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, "When you sit with a girl for two hours, it seems like a minute, but when you sit on hot stove, a minute seems like two hours."
Psychologists have noticed that larger units of time. such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age.
They also note that the more time is structured with schedule and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office, an increase in structured time could well be to blame why time seems to speed up as we grow older.
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been
A. show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time
B. state the principles of time
C. describe various notions about time
D. explain why time flies and how to slow it down
[填空题]We must finish the work on time.
The work must ______ on time.
[单项选择]At one time or another we have all stopped to think about the weather. Some days the weather is good. Some days the weather is bad. Still, there are days when the weather seems to change from hour to hour. A day that starts out fine might not stay that way. Sometimes a day that seems bad turns out better than you thought it would. There are ways of understanding the weather. One way is to study the clouds.
No two clouds are ever alike. But it is still possible to group clouds and to give them names. We can recognize the different kinds of clouds and watch them for signs of changing weather.
As a rote, the higher the clouds, the better the weather. And the lower the clouds, the worse the weather is likely to be. To predict the weather, there are three things about clouds you should look for: movement, color, and change.
Clouds can tell you if storm is on the way. For example, small feathery cirrus clouds (卷云) can become thick and move lower. This means rain is on the way.
A. the relation between the weather and clouds B) the ways of grouping and naming cloudsC) the causes of differences in weather D) the signs of the rain and storm
