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 .72.

Passage Three

Thousands of years ago, ten of our very distant ancestors were hungry. They went out and picked berries or dug up roots to eat. Four of them chose poisonous food and died. The remaining six noticed that their food was safe to eat. They told their children, who, in turn, passed the message on to their descendants. In this way, habit became a vital factor in the survival of mankind: if you ate the right plant, you lived; if you wanted to make your own experiments, you would probably die.

The importance of habit on the survival of the human species is an interesting matter. Even today, most of us hesitate when we are invited to eat a new type of food or drink something we have not tasted before. Even if the food or drink is offered by a friend, we are usually not at all anxious to experiment and accept the offer.

When you get up tomorrow morning, notice which shoe or sock you put on first. Then notice which one you put on first on other days. You may discover that (a) you tend to put on one shoe or sock first every day, and (b) if you are right-handed, you usually deal with your left shoe or sock first. If you try to change this habit, you may find it uncomfortable or annoying, and you will soon return to your old habit. When it comes to other matters, we often follow a fixed pattern. We sleep in one or two favorite ways. We often follow familiar routes even when they are not the shortest or best. We often wear a watch on the same wrist even when there is no real reason for doing so. (83) In hundreds of other ways, we show that we are creatures of habit, following fixed patterns of behavior. This characteristic can help us to survive but it can be a barrier to progress too. We must be alert and not let a beneficial factor become a harmful one.The best title for this passage might be ______.

16.“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers．It is not that newspapers are a necessity．Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio．Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday．But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation． The nature of what is news may change．What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same．I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though．It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering．In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are． It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home．In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future．You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, et C． I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed off each other．Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happene D．What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air．And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen．[单选题] What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers．Then again，teenagers have31feelings about their parents，saying that it is not easy living with them．According to a recent research，the most common32between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks．On the one hand，parents go mad over33rooms，clothes thrown on the floor and their children's refusal to help with the34．On the other hand，teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for35the towel in the bathroom，not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket．The research，conducted by St．George University，shows that different parents have different36to these problems．However，some approaches are more37than others．For example，those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness，but38clean the room for them，have fewer chances of changing their children's39．On the contrary，those who let teenagers experience the40of their actions can do better．For example，when teenagers who don't help their parents with the shopping don't find their favorite drink in the refrigerator，they are forced to41their actions．Psychologists say that42is the most important thing in parent-child relationships．Parents should43to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say．Parents may44their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space．Communication is a two-way process．It is only by listening to and45each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.40A.failures,B.changes,C.consequences,D.thrills

18.Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date? Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见).Dr.Robert Alberti，author of Stand Up, Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence.“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust hemselves.”says Alberti.“There’s always a‘superior’around-a parent，a teacher，a boss-who‘knows better’.These‘superiors’often gain whenthey keep breaking at your self-image.”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves.They offer“assertiveness training”courses-AT for short.In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves.They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so.They learn to beaggressive without hurting people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear.A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear.But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share.The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image.If someone you face is more“important”than you，you may feel less of a person.You start to doubt your own good sense.You go by the other person’ s label.But，why should you?AT says you can get to feel good about yourself.And once you do，you can learn to speak out.People are reluctant to talk back because____.
