I work for a daily newspaper and so get to a lot of places I would otherwise never see. This year I went to Ascot to write about the people there. I saw something there that made me realize the stupidity of trying to conform, of trying to be better than anyone else.

But because she was so plump, when she sat on the stick it went deep into the ground and she couldn’t pull it out. She tugged and tugged, tears of rage in her eyes. When the final tug brought it out, she crashed with it to the ground.
I saw her walk away. Her day had bee

[简答题]Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: In 1964, the world coined a new word, Beatle-mania. That year the world was introduced to four Englishmen named John, Paul, George, and Ringo. For the next eight years, these four were the number one musical group. Each new album that appeared was a success, but the 1967 album called Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was a milestone. It indicated a turning point in their music. The music of the Beatles from 1964 to 1967 dealt with traditional love themes. All their songs from 1964 tell of happy meetings between boy and girl, the beginning of love. By 1966, the love affair isn’t moving smoothly. In the 1966 song "No Reply", the situation goes like this: "You" walked hand in hand with another man in my place. Yet the unfaithful love is part of the traditional love theme. The Beatles were still concerned almost totally with love in early 1967. Then came the Sgt. Pepper album. From the 1967 Sgt. Pepper albu

[单项选择]Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
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 rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological (生理的)“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.

Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to“reward” the babies and so taught 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 had enough to drink would refuse the milk but wou
