As a national and international institution,The Saturday Evening Post made its markin the lives of massive numbers of men and women,and served society as a stabilizing influence,Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as neverbefore.Neither highbrow nor lowbrow,The Post set out to interpret average middle-classAmerica,for that was its audience,However,this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s.The Post's editor Lorimer,opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare.He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken forthe majority of voters,but the 1936 election proved him wrong.His conservatism extendedbeyond politics,it dominated the magazine's content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority.The Post met 'its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses,challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F.ScottFitzgerald and William Faulkner.It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic(昏昏欲睡的）America,however,The Saturday Evening Postseemed to play to conventions while The New Yorker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.3.

7.If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season．You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year．A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. 　　He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat．This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year．It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer. 　　Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking．One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. 　　Fall is the next-best season, then winter．As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking![单选题] According to the passage, any vacations from thinking should be taken __.

In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 67 question like ―How old are you?‖if elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 68 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 69

how old they are. 70 such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 71.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 72 that they look very old! 73 westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 74 that they are not interested to know how old other people

are. They may ask 75 for the information, 76 they may try to 77 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 78 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 79 , but this is not always the 80 . 77.
