Are these just stereotypes(陳規(guī)) or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeeds or fails?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs(實業(yè)家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood”. Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green-eyed monster(怪物)” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to othersbut at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.This seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Econnomic Cooperation and Development(OECD) recently reported that the UK was now the worlds fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“Its not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a Professor of management at the University ofw*w Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “Its people using their success in a way that seems arrogant(傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.56. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to? A. One group of people. B. A great survey.C. National character. D. A nation.57. Most of the British top entrepreneurs surveyed believe that _. A. they are not popular simply because they are successfulB. the British public are hardworkingC. love of success is Britains national characterD. they are considered as “green-eyed monsters”58. What does the result of the Warwich University test show? A. Two thirds of the people tested didnt love money.B. Most people would rather fail than see others succeed.C. An imaginary amount of money does not attract people.D. Most people are willing to enjoy success with others.59. The writer of the passage seems to suggest that _. A. jealousy is Britains national characterB. British entrepreneurs are not fairly treatedC. the scientists at Warwich University did a successful testD. the British dislike the entrepreneurs because they do not behave properlyBLONDON(Reuters)Ecotourism(生態(tài)旅游) is causing a lot of damage to wildlife and may be endangering the survival of the very animals people are flocking to see, according to researchers.Biologists and conservationists(自然環(huán)境保護論者) are worried because polar bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying.“Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard,” New Scientist magazine said.The immediate effects researchers have noticed are changes in behavior, heart rates, or stress hormone(荷爾蒙) levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term “could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see”.Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 1030 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas, the Swiss-based World Conservation Union and some governments fear not all projects are audited (審計) and based on environmentally friendly policies, according to the magazine.“The transmission(傳播) of disease to wildlife, or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding,” said Philip Seddon of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.Conservationists are not calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects w*ware started.“The animals welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism,” said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand.60. Whats the passage mainly about? A. Many animals are dying because of lack of money.B. There will be no ecotourism without animals.C. Ecotourism could endanger the survival of the wildlife people want to see.D. More research should be done on ecotourism.61. We may learn from the passage that _. A. ecotourism must be developed properlyB. polar bears are losing weight without enough foodC. all the poor countries have stopped ecotourismD. money produced through ecotourism should be spent on wildlife62. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Many animals do not react well in their backyard.B. Polar bears in the areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.C. Ecotourism has been growing at about 1030 percent a year.D. Studies should be done before new ecotourism projects are started.63. What Rochelle Constantine said in the last paragraph implies that _. A. if people want to get high income, they must develop ecotourism B. animals have the rights to live their own lifeC. animals are peoples good friendsD. people should take good care of wildlifeCDo you know the fiddler crab(招潮蟹) is a living clock? It shows the time of day by the color of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crabs changing skin color follows a regular twenty-four hours cycle that exactly matches the daily rhythm of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply respond to(對反應) the suns rays, changing color according to the amount of light that strikes it? To find it out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight the crabs skin color continued to change exactly on time.This probably developed gradually in response to the rhythm of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regular inside the living body of the crab. The biologists noticed that once each day the color of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this occurs fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides(潮汐). The crabs period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!64. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The crab cannot actually keep time.B. The crabs skin changes color according to the amount of light that strikes it.C. The crabs skin still changes color even if there isnt any daylight.D. The crab likes the suns rays best of all.65. The crabs color-changing ability was probably developed _. A. by the work of biologists B. over plenty of dark nightsC. by protecting themselves from enemies D. over millions of years66. The biologists discovered that the crabs darkest color occurs _. A. at the time of low tide B. when its darkC. fifty minutes later than the sunset D. every two daysDPeople often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. Its something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, its a waste of time. I dont mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.Look at one of the most famous shy people, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating(交往) with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend(傳奇) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we groww*w up, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.67. In the authors view, shyness can be explained as _. A. a disease that can be easily cured B. a not very normal mental conditionC. an emotional disability D. something we pick up after birth68. The author believes its a waste of time to _. A. develop a healthy personal
