| Placing a human being behind the wheel
of an automobile often has the same curious effect as cutting certain fibers in
the brain. The result in either case is more primitive behavior. Hostile feelings are apt to be expressed in an aggressive way. The same man who will step aside for a stranger at a doorway will, when behind the wheel, risk an accident trying to beat another motorist through an intersection. The importance of emotional factors in automobile accidents is gaining recognition. Doctors and other scientists have concluded that the highway death toll resembles a disease epidemic and should be investigated as such. Dr. Ross A. Mcfarland, Associate Professor of Industrial Hygiene at the Harvard University School of Public Health, said that accidents "now constitute a greater threat to the safety of large segmen A. as though they were uncivilized B. as though their brain fibers needed cutting C. as though they wanted to repress hostile feelings D. as though they should change their attitudes from hostility to amicability [单项选择]Whatever the causes, English at the end of the 20th century is more widely spoken and written than any other language （）.

[单项选择]Inductive reasoning involves making useful generalization about the environment as a whole, based on a necessarily limited number of observations. As so, it is an important tool that people use to build the models of reality they need to function effectively. While conclusions can be wrong if observations are faulty or are drawn from an unrepresentative sample, if properly used, it can be incredibly powerful.
A. as a whole B. As so C. use to D. While [单项选择]Can computers reason Reasoning requires the individual to take a given set of facts and draw correct conclusions. Unfortunately, errors frequently occur, and we are not talking about simple carelessness as occurs when two numbers are incorrectly added, nor do we mean errors resulting from simple forgetfulness. Rather, we have in mind errors of a logic nature--those resulting from faulty reasoning. Now, or at least soon, computers will be capable of error-free logical reasoning in a variety of areas. The key to avoiding errors is to use a computer program that relies on the last two decades’ research in the field of automated theorem proving. AURA (Automated Reasoning Assistant) is the program that best exemplifies this use of the computer.
AURA solves a problem by drawing conclusions from a given set of facts about the problem. Program does not learn, nor is it self-analytical, but it reaches logical conclusions flawlessly. It used various types of reasoning and, more important A. function as a safety mechanism in nuclear reactors. B. detect contradictions and other faults in computer programs. C. develop expert human programs for technical fields. D. check human reasoning for possible errors.
