1、The Process of AgeingAt the age of twelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet to reach its full size ａｎｄ　strength, ａｎｄ　its owner his ｏｒher full intelligence; but at this age the likelihood of death is the least. Earlier, we were infants ａｎｄ　young children, ａｎｄ　consequently more vulnerable; later, we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigｏｒresistance which, though imperceptible (察觉不出的) at first, will finally become so steep that we can live no longer, however well we look after ourselves, ａｎｄ　however well society, ａｎｄ　our doctors, look after us This decline in vigｏｒwith the passing of time is called ageing. If we escape wars, accidents ａｎｄ　diseases, we shall eventually "die of old age", ａｎｄ　this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person. Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longer. But there is a virtual ｌｉｍｉｔon how long we can hope to remain alive, however lucky ａｎｄ　robust we are.Normal people tend to forget this process until they are reminded of it. We are so familiar with the fact that man ages, that people have fｏｒyears assumed that the process of losing vigｏｒwith time was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle ｏｒthe wearing-out of a pair of shoes. "They have also assumed that all animals, ａｎｄ　probably other organisms such as trees, ｏｒeven the universe itself, must in the nature of things "wear out". Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do; ａｎｄ　mechanical systems like a wound watch, ｏｒthe sun, do in fact run out of energy. But these are not analogous to what happens when man ages. A run-down watch is still a watch ａｎｄ　can be rewound. ____. But a watch could never repair itself it does not consist of living parts, only of metal, which wears away by friction (摩擦). We could, at one time tune, repair ourselves well enough, at least to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses ａｎｄ　accidents. Between twelve ａｎｄ　eighty years we gradually lose this power.an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty can knock us out, ａｎｄ　into our grave. If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years fｏｒhalf of us to die, ａｎｄ　another 700 of the survivors to be reduced by half again.【单选题】

2、MemoriesMost episodes of absent-mindedness forgetting where you left something ｏｒwondering why you just entered a room are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. "You are supposed to remember something, but you haven\'t encoded it deeply."Encoding, Schacter says, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a majｏｒimpact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, fｏｒexample, ａｎｄ　don\'t pay attention to what you did because you are involved in a conversation, you will probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe. "Your memory itself isn\'t failing you," says Schacter. " Rather, you didn\'t give your memory system the information it needed. "____. "A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago," says Zelinski, "may not remember to ｄｒｅｐa letter in the mailbox. " Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, ａｎｄ　memory relies on just that.Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Sclnacter." But be sure the cue is clear ａｎｄ　available.,"he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table don\'t leave it in the medicine chest ａｎｄ　write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room ａｎｄ　wondering why you are there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. "Everyone does this from time to time," says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, ａｎｄ　you will likely remember.【单选题】

3、PopulationThe advantages ａｎｄ　disadvantages of large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good lａｎｄ　is limited . To feed a large population, inferiｏｒlａｎｄ　must be cultivated ａｎｄ　the good lａｎｄ　worked intensively. produces less ａｎｄ　this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population . Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope fｏｒspecialization ａｎｄ　the development of facilities such as ports, roads ａｎｄ　railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demａｎｄ　to justify themOne of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development ａｎｄ　the availability of food ａｎｄ　raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space ａｎｄ　natural resources, concern of government to plane a ｌｉｍｉｔon the birth rate, whatever the consequences may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment ____. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline ａｎｄ　the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable ｏｒin decline.【单选题】

One afternoon, while touring a factory in New York, he collapsed. The doctｏｒwho treated him said, "There\'s nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you\'ll find a new home in our hospital." Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked.

He allowed them to ｓｅｔtheir own salaries, ａｎｄ　he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary, like receptionists ａｎｄ　secretaries. This saved money ａｎｄ　brought more equality to the company.

But when a Semco pump an the other side of the world fails ａｎｄ　millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea, Rubin springs into action.He knows everything there is to know about our pumps ａｎｄ　how to fix them. That\'s when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn\'t look busy the rest of the time."Semco has flexible working hours, the employees decide when they need to arrive at work, The employees also evaluate their bosses twice a year. Also, Semco lets its workers use the company\'s machines fｏｒtheir own projects, ａｎｄ　makes them take holidays fｏｒat least thirty days a year.It sounds perfect, but does it work? The answer is in the numbers. In the last six years, Semco\'s revenues have gone from $ 35 million to $ 212 million.
