If there is one person to blame for economists'habit of commenting on everyhing,it is Gary Becker,who died on May 3rd.Not content with studying the world's economies,he was the first prominent economist to apply economic tools to all aspects of life.He revealed that people are often purposeful and rational in their decisions,whether they are changing jobs,taking drugs or divorcing their spouses.This insight,and the work that followed from it,eamed him a Nobel prize in 1992.No less an eminence than Milton Friedman declared in 2001 that Mr Becker was"the grealest social scientist who has lived and worked in the last half-century".At the heart of Mr Becker's work was the view that"individuals maximise welfare as they conceive it."Welfare need not mean income;it could derive from the pleasure of selflessness.

参考解析
解析：经济学家们习惯于对一切事情都发表意见，若要将这嗜好归功于一人，这个人便是已于5月3日辞世的加里·贝克尔。不满足于仅仅研究世界经济，贝克尔是第一个将经济学方法应用到生活各个方面的著名经济学家。他揭示：无论是换工作，嗑药或与配偶离婚，人们往往是有目的、理性地作出决定。正是由于此种见解以及其后一系列围绕它的研究，贝克尔赢得了1992年的诺贝尔奖。声名卓著的米尔顿·弗里德曼在2001年称贝克尔是“过去半个世纪以来最伟大的社会科学家”。贝克尔研究的核心认为“个体总是将他们所认为的福利最大化”。福利不一定意味着收人，它可能源自大公无私的满足感。

Many people, including some policemen, believe eye contact is a good test of honesty. If someone can't look at you directly in the eye, then he or she is not playing honestly, they insist. After many experiments, however, a number of experts have found out that good liars can make false eye contact.Eye contact, though not a sure sign of dishonesty, is a clear way to show interest in another person. When a person looks at you and continues to do so, you know his attention is placed on you. When he turns his head away, his mind is probably elsewhere. But there are exceptions. A shy person may have trouble making and keeping eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person. And certain nationalities, such as the British and Germans, are much less oriented to eye-to-eye contact than, say, the French and the Arabs.Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone.Have short periods of eye contact while you watch other parts of the person's face — especially the mouth. When the person smiles, be sure to smile back. But always make an effort to return your gaze to the person's eyes as she speaks. It is common to look up, down, and all around when speaking to others, and not have eye contact at all times.Too much eye contact, especially if it is forced, can work against you. If you stare at a person, or leer in a suspicious way, the other person may feel uncomfortable and even suspicious about your intent. A fixed stare can seem like aggressive behavior. if it is a challenge as to who will look away first.(1)Many people believe that eye contact is a sign of ___________.A、honestyB、dishonestyC、attentionD、A and C(2)According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A、Eye contact is a way to show interest in another person.B、When a person looks at you, his attention is placed on you.C、When a person fails to make eye contact, he is definitely not interested in you.D、It is common to look up, down, and all around when speaking to others.(3)While we watch other person's face, we should have short periods of eye contact with, especially, other people's _____________.A、eyesB、noseC、mouthD、ears(4)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A、Eye contact is not a good test of honesty.B、Some people may have trouble making and keeping eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person.C、If someone can look at you directly in the eye, he or she is playing honestly.D、A number of experts have found out that no one can make false eye contact.(5)This passage mainly discusses ________________.A、how to test one is honest or not by the way of eye contactB、how to make eye contactC、how to avoid too much eye contactD、the function of correct eye contact

A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honors a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and lived from 1833 to1896. Alfred Nobel was a chemist and inventor. He made two important inventions. And so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married nor had children. Also, he was a sick man in a large part of his life. Nobel died at the age of sixty-three. When he died, he left a fund 基金) of $9,000, 000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and the promotion 促进)of world peace. The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10th, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements. Albert Einstein was one of them. Each Prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma(证书)saying that he has been given the Prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money—about $40, 000. Often a Prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes, a Prize is shared. It may be given to two or three people who have worked together. Sometimes a Prize is not given at all if there is no outstanding achievement. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given. It is the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm that decides whether to give the Prize or not1.Most people think that the Nobel Prize is __________ a person can receive.A、 the highest honor in the worldB、 one of the highest international honorsC、 a higher honor than othersD、 as high as any other honor2.Alfred Nobel who started the Nobel Prize was __________A、 a rich, happy and lucky manB、 a poor, unhappy and unlucky manC、 a poor, but happy and lucky manD、 a rich, unhappy and unlucky man3.A Nobel Prize is made up of _________A、 a gold medal and a large amount of moneyB、 a gold medal and a diplomaC、 a gold medal and a diploma and a large amount of moneyD、 a diploma and a large amount of money4.A Nobel Prize is given to __________ each year.A、 just one personB、 one personC、 not always one personD、 three persons5.When he died, Nobel left an amount of money __________A、 to his wife and his childrenB、 to the university he used to study inC、 to his parents and his studentsD、 to be spend on setting five prizes

第三篇The IcemanOn a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet or 3,200 meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark（树皮）and a holder for arrows.Who was this man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions. Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I, since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father, who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5,300 years old. Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a different story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have beenpart of a larger war,or he might have beenl fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the iceman about the times he lived in.we may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to the history of those distant times.All the following are assumptions once made about the iceman EXCEPT_______________.A:he was a soldier in World War ⅠB:he came from ItalyC:he was a Swiss woman's long-lost fatherD:he was born about a thousand years ago

One would think that in a world torn by economic problems,a world that constantly worries about economic affairs and talks of economic issues,the great economists would be as familiar as the great philosophers or statesmen.Instead they are oniy shadowy figures of the past,ancl the matters they so passionately debated are regarded with a kind of distant awe.Economics,it is said,is undeniably important,but it is cold and difficult,and best left to those who are at home in perplexing realms of thought.Nothing could be further from the truth.A man who thinks that economics is only a matter for professors forgets that this is the science that has sent men to the battlefield.A man who has looked into an economics textbook and concluded that economics is boring is like a man who has read a basic book on tactics and decided that the study of warfare must be dull No,the great economists pursued an inquiry as exciting-and as dangerous-as any the world has ever known.The ideas they dealt with,unlike the ideas of the great philosophers,did not make little difference to our daily working lives;the experiments they urged could not,like the scientists',be carried out in the isolation of a laboratory.The notions of the great economists were world-shaking,and their mistakes nothing short of calamitous."The ideas of economists and political philosophers,"wrote Lord Keynes,himself a great economist,"both when they are right and when they are wrong,are more powerful than is commonly unclerstood.Indeed the world is ruled by little else.Practical men,who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences,are usually the slaves of some departed economist.Madmen in authority,who hear voices in the air,are extracting their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas."The great economists can be called worldly philosophers,for they sought to embrace in a scheme of philosophy the most worldly of all of man's activities-his drive for wealth.It is not,perhaps,the most elegant kind of philosophy,but there is no more intriguing or more important one,Who would think to look for Order and Design in a poor family and a speculator breathlessly awaiting ruin,or seek Consistent Laws and Principles in a mob marching in a street and a greengrocer smiling at his customers?Yet it was the faith of the great economists that just such seemingly unrelated threads could be woven into a single fabric,that at a sufficient distance the chaotic world could be seen as an orderly progression,and the noise resolved into a harmony.

A proverb from ancient China was widely spread in the West: "If you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if you want the happiness to last three years, get married; if you want lifetime happiness, take up gardening." The reason for the last is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to identify yourself with nature, and thus brings you new joy each day besides improving your health.
A research of a US university that I′ve read gives a definition of happiness as what makes a person feel comfortably pleased. To put it simply, happiness is an active state of mind where one thinks one′ s life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. This should be something lasting rather than transitory.
Lots of people regard it the happiest to be at leisure. But according to a study, it is not a person with plenty of leisure but one at work that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not mean gains one is after but a desire to harvest what one is seeking for. People often do not treasure what they already have but desire what they cannot get. That is somewhat like a man with fond dreams of numerous lovers while unwilling to settle down with the woman beside him.
Happiness is a game balancing between two ends--what one has and what one wishes for, i.e. one′s dream and the possibility to realize it. The study comes to this conclusion: A happy man is one who aims high but never forgets his actual situation; one who meets challenges that develop his ability and potentiality; one who′s proud of his achievements and the recognition given to him. He has self-respect and self-confidence; treasures his own identity and loves freedom. He is sociable and enjoys wide range communication with others; he′s helpful and ready to accept assistance. He knows he is able to bear sufferings and failures; he is sensible enough to get fun from daily work. He is a man capable of love and passion.
Who is more likely to be unhappy according to the study?A.The man who is ambitious regardless of his actual situation.
B.The one who has self-esteem and has confidence in himself.
C.The one who can take pleasure in communicating with others.
D.The one who always helps others and also accepts help from others.

Insurance (保险) may be considered a game of risk in which individuals and businesses protect themselves, their families, and their property from possible losses resulting from unpredictable events such as storms, fires, accidents and illnesses. The first rule of the game, devised centuries age, is "share the risk". To play by this rule, many people take a small loss in place of one person′ s taking a large one.
It is a simple idea: an individual pays a small amount of money called a premium (保险费) to an agent who acts on behalf of an insurance company, or underwriter, which holds the individual′s premium and the premiums paid by thousands of others. The individual receives an insurance policy, a promise that if there is a loss to the individual as defined in the policy the insurance company will pay for it. The funds will come from the individual′s premium, the premium paid by others who did not have losses, and money from the company′ s investment of all the premiums. An individual who does not have a loss loses the premium money but purchases what insurance underwriters call "peace of mind". It is a gamble for the customer and the underwriter, but it is built on the first rule of risk that losses are small when shared by many.
The money the insurance used to pay for an individual′ s loss comes from ___________.A.the premium paid by the person previously
B.the insurance company's investment
C.the premiums paid by other persons
D.all of the above

第三篇Race Car DriversThe men who race the cars are generally small,with a tight,nervous look.They range from the early 20s to the middle 40s,and it is usually their nerves that go first.Fear is the driver's constant companion,and tragedy can be just a step behind.Scarcely a man in the 500 does not carry the scars of ancient crashes.The mark of the plastic surgery is everywhere, and burned skin is common. Sometimes a driver's scars are invisible.Two young drivers,Billy Vukovich and Gary Bettenhausen,raced in their first 500 in 1968.Less than 20 years before,their fathers also competed against one another on the Indy track一and died there.All this the drivers accept. Over the years,they have learned to trust their own techniques,reflexes,and courage.They depend,too,on a trusted servant一scientific engineering. Though they may not have had a great deal of schooling(an exception is New Zealand's Bruce McLaren,who has an engineering degree),many drivers are gifted mechanics,with a feeling for their engines that amount to kinship.A few top drivers have become extremely wealthy,with six-figure incomes from prize money and jobs with auto-product manufacturers.Some have businesses of their own.McLaren designs racing chassis（底盘）.Dan Gurney's California factory manufactured the chassis of three of the first four ears in the 1968 Indy 500,including his own second place car.Yet money is not the only reason why men race cars.Perhaps it isn't even the major reason. Three-time Indy winner(1961,1964,1967)A.J. Foyt,for example,can frequently be found cornpeting on dirty tracks in minor-league races,where money,crowds and safety features are limited, and only the danger is not. Why does he do it?Sometimes Foyt answers,"It's in my blood."Other times he says,"It's good practice."Now and then he replies,"Don't ask dumb questions."Bruce McLaren is different from most of the drivers in that _______.A:he himself designs chassisB:he has an engineering degreeC:he manufactures chassisD:he is a gifted mechanic

The First Four MinutesWhen do people decide whether or not they want to become friends?During their first four minutes together,according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin.In his book,Contact:The First Four Minutes,he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:"________(46)A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that."You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met._________(47)If anyone has ever done this to you,you probably did not like him very much.When we are introduced to new people,the author suggests,we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general,he says,"People like people who like themselves".On the other hand,we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.It is important to appear interested and sympathetic,realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears,and hopes.Hearing such advice,one might say,"But I'm not a friendly,self-confident person.That's not my nature.It would be dishonest for me to act that way."__________(48)We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality."It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first,but it goes much better than the old one."But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way?Perhaps,but according to Dr. Zunin,"total honesty"is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything,and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complainabout one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people.It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.________(49)For a husband and wife or a parent and child,problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care.If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed,they should be dealt with later.The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school,along with reading,writing,and mathematics.__________(50)That is at least as important as how much we know._________（49）A:In reply,Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.B:Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.C:In his opinion,success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.D:Every time you meet someone in a social situation,give him your undivided attention for four minutes.E:He keeps looking over the other person'S shoulder,as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.F:He is eager to make friends with everyone.

New Foods and the New WorldIn the last 500 years,nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas,or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians .The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's .And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845—1846,and thou- sands more were forced to emigrate to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with. The Arabic legend is used to prove thatA:.coffee was first discovered by KaldiB: coffee was first discovered by Kaldi's goatsC:.coffee was first discovered in south American countriesD: coffee drinks were first made by Arabs

By cutting interest rates again this week-for the seventh time this year-the Federal Reserve hopes it can keep America out of recession. But in an increasing number of economies, from Japan to Taiwan to Mexico and Brazil. GDP is already shrinking. Global industrial production fell at an annual rate of 6 percent in the first half of 2001. Early estimates suggest that gross world product, as a whole, may have contracted in the second quarter, for possibly the first time in two decades.
