31、C and D on the right side. Choose the best answerand mark the letter of your choice on the ANSWER SHEET.51. A. intellectualB. talentedC. intelligent D. consideratePeople have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviour are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is 51 and

32、 another is stupid or why one cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and 52 certain behaviours. There are no clear answers yet, but two 53 schools of though

33、t on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often referred to as “nature vs. nurture”.Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe

34、that our personalities and behaviour patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. 54 our environment has little, if anything, 55 our abilities, characteristics, and behaviour is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behaviour is predetermin

37、 beings whose behaviour is almost completely 59 by their surroundings. The behaviourists view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behaviour.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human beha

38、viour. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behaviour lies somewhere between these two extremes. Thatthe controversy will 60 for a long time is certain.58.

40、e OneIt is amazing how many people still say, “I never dream”, for it is now decades since it was established that everyone has over a thousand dreams a year, however few of these nocturnal productions are remembered on waking. Even the most confirmed “non-dreamers” will remember dreams if woken up

41、systematically during the rapid eye movement (REM) periods. These are periods of light sleep during which the eyeballs move rapidly back and forth under the closed lids and the brain becomes highly activated, which happens three or four times every night of normal sleep.It is a very interesting ques

42、tion why some people remember dreams regularlyperhaps several a night on occasionwhile others remember hardly any at all under normal conditions. In considering this, it is important to bear in mind that the dream tends to be an elusive phenomenon for all of us. We normally never recall a dream unle

43、ss we awaken directly from it, and even then it has a tendency to fade quickly into oblivion.Given this general elusiveness of dreams, the basic factor that seems to determine whether a person remembers them or not is the same as that which determines all other memory, namely degree of interest. Dre

44、am researchers have made a broad classification of people into “recallers” those who remember at least one dream a monthand “non-recallers”, who remember fewer than this. Tests have shown that cool, analytical people with a very rational approach to their feelings tend to recall fewer dreams than th

45、ose whose attitude to life is open and flexible. Engineers generally recall fewer dreams than artists. It is not surprising to discover that in Western society, women normally recall more dreams than men, since women are traditionally allowed an instinctive feeling approach to life.In modern urban-i

46、ndustrial culture, feelings and dreams tend to be treated as frivolities which must be firmly subordinated to the realities of life. We pay lip-service the inner life of imagination as it expresses itself in the arts, but in practice relegate（轉(zhuǎn)移）music, poetry, drama and painting to the level of spar

47、e-time activities, valued mainly for the extent to which they refresh us for a returnto work. We discourage our children from paying much attention to anything that might detract7from the serious business of studying for exams or making a living in the “real” world of industry and commerce.61.

51、tune. I grew up in a middle-class neighborhood just outside Hartford, Connecticut, a mere two hours journey to Ellis Island, where only 40 years earlier my grandparents had concluded their trans-Atlantic journey. Yet the sacrifices that such an endeavor necessitated were lost upon me. As a young man

52、, I had neither the time to spend nor any interest in delving into my familys recentand what was sure to be a very boring-history. The first college- bound member of my family, I was far too arrogant and conceited to allow that my grandparents had accomplished anything truly impressive. Had it not b

53、een for a chance discovery, I never would have realized how sorely mistaken I was. One day during the summer before I was to leave for college, I was home alone, rummaging through my fathers old trunk. As I pawed through the old books and pamphlets and clothes, I uncovered an old, tattered photograp

54、h. It was of a young, handsome man sitting on the boardwalk（木板路）at what appeared to be Coney Island. Though the passage of time had aged the face, I instantly recognized the figure in the picture as my grandfather. After taking a moment to scan the old black-and-white, I placed it back in the trunk,

55、 and would not have given it anymore thought except the doorbell rang, and I heard the voice of the old man himself. He had stopped by to say hello on his way home from the bakery. Such a fortuitous appearance, I thought, and with the photograph in hand, I went to greet him and show him my find.My g

56、randfather took the photo and looked it over for a long time, his minds eye wandering8to some far-off place. He was normally quite talkative, so to see him silenced for so long caught me a bit off-guard. After what seemed like an age, and a little lost for words, I asked him when the photograph was taken. I was certainly not prepared for the answer I received. He sat me down and launched into the story of the journey that had brought him and his young wife to America. From fleeing death and persecution in the pogroms of Russia, t
