Imagine a world in which there was
suddenly no emotion-a world in which human beings could feel no love or
happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a

(支柱) would be destroyed: since earning A. they would not be happy with a life without love B. they would not be able to tell the texture of objects C. they would do things that hurt each other’s feelings D. they would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them 更多"Passage Four Imagine a wo"的相关试题: [单项选择]Passage Four
