18．The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means．Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago，but it has brought new problems．One of the biggest problems is pollution．To pollute means to make things dirty．Pollution comes in many ways．We see it，smell it，drink it and even hear it．
Man has been polluting the earth．The more people，the more pollution．Many years ago，the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people．When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place，man moved to another place．But this is no longer true．
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world．
Air pollution is still the most serious．It's bad for all living things in the world，but it is not the only one kind of pollution．Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water．Noise pollution makes us angry more easily．
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution．They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city，and from putting dirty smoke into the air．Pollution by SO2is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution．It is caused by heavy traffic．We are sure that if there are fewer people driving，there will be less air pollution．
The earth is our home．We must take care of it．That means keeping the land，water and air clean．And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time．

9．Tuvalu is located in the South Pacific．It is tiny and has only nine islands with a population of just 11，000．In 1999，it was the third-poorest country in the world．The islanders earned just﹩1，000 each year．

13．In the 19th century，there used to be a model of how to be a good person．There are all these torrents of passion flowing through you．Your job，as captain of your soul，is to erect dams to keep these passions in check．Your job is to just say no to laziness，lust，greed，drug use and the other sins．
These days that model is out of fashion．You usually can't change your behavior by simply resolving to do something．Knowing what to do is not the same as being able to do it．Your willpower is not like a dam that can block the torrent of self-indulgence．It's more like a muscle，which tires easily．Moreover，you're a social being．If everybody around you is overeating，you'll probably do so，too．
The 19th-century character model was based on an understanding of free will．Today，we know that free will is bounded．People can change their lives，but ordering change is not simple because many things，even within ourselves，are beyond our direct control．
Much of our behavior，for example，is guided by unconscious habits．Researchers at Duke University calculated that more than 40percent of the actions we take are governed by habit，not actual decisions．Researchers have also come to understand the structure of habits-cue，routine，reward．
You can change your own personal habits．If you leave running shorts on the floor at night，that'll be a cue to go running in the morning．Don't try to ignore your afternoon snack craving．Every time you feel the cue for a snack，insert another routine．Take a walk．
Their research thus implies a different character model，which is supposed to manipulate the neuralnetworks inside．
To be an effective person，under this model，you are supposed to coolly examine your own unconscious habits，and the habits of those under your care．You are supposed to devise strategies to alter the cues and routines．Every relationship becomes slightly manipulative，including your relationship with yourself．You're trying to arouse certain responses by implanting certain cues．
This is a bit disturbing，because the important habitual neural networks are not formed by mere routine，nor can they be reversed by clever cues．They are burned in by emotion and strengthened by strong yearnings，like the yearnings for admiration and righteousness．
If you think you can change your life in a clever way，the way an advertiser can get you to buy an air freshener，you're probably wrong．As the Victorians understood，if you want to change your life，don't just look for a clever cue．Commit to some larger global belief．

61．Which of the following is the first-to-none element in the 19th-century character model？C
A．Action．
B．Capacity．
C．Resolution．
D．Enthusiasm．
62．The 19th-century model supposedly does not work on the grounds thatA
A．one's wished should be pondered before acting．
B．the comparison of free will to a dam is groundless．
C．it has been proved impractical and cannot hold true．
D．there were many other factors beyond one's control．
63．The research at Duke University indicated thatC
A．One's behavior is tough to change．
B．Habit has an unidentified structure．
C．Habit plays a vital role in one's behavior．
D．Both habit and will power are of significance．
64．According to the new character model，personal behavior could be altered throughB
A．techniques to break old routines．
B．techniques to provide different physical cues．
C．cues to change all the former unconscious habits．
D．cues to manipulate the habitual neural responses．
65．We can learn from the passage that the new character modelB
A．can generate changes in one's life like what advertisers do．
B．highlights the neural and psychological aspects of habit change．
C．has been identified a new method of changing behavior perfectly．
D．has an advantage over others in dealing with emotional aspects of behavior．

3．Recently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated，and what kind of job prospects they thought they had．
Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors，I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without"outside help"．"What kind of help is that？"I asked，expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out．
"Surgery"，one replied．I was pretty surprised by that response．It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job．One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height．"They break your legs，put in special extending screws，and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows，you can get at least 5cm taller!"
At that point，I was shocked．I am short，I can't deny that，but I don't think I would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller．I don't even bother to wear shoes with thick soles，as I'm not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting"perfection"，and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality．
No one is born perfect，yet magazines，TV shows and movies present images of thin，tall，beautiful people as being the norm．Advertisements for slimming aids，beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers，further creating an idea that"perfection"is a requirement，and that it must be purchased，no matter what the cost．In my opinion，skills，rather than appearance，should determine how successful a person is in his future career．

21．We can know from the passage that the author works asB．
A．a doctor
B．a teacher
C．a model
D．a reporter
22．Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery toD．
A．marry a better man/woman
B．become a model
C．attract more admirers
D．get an advantage over others in job-hunting
23．According to the passage，the author believes thatC．
A．everyone should purchase perfection，whatever the cost
B．it's right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs
C．media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery
D．it is one's appearance instead of skills that really matters in one's career
24．What does the author think of his height？A
A．He just accepts it as it is．
B．He tries to increase his height through surgery．
C．He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact．
D．He hates to be called a short man．

8．For many years there's been a debate about rewarding our children．Does it work？Is it effective？
Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward．Punishment is given out in much the same way，but it's used when certain standards of performance，behavior，etc．have not been met．Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment，and work harder when promised a valuable reward．The problem is what happens when you aren't around．
To develop responsible，self-disciplined kids，parents need to promote certain ideas．One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in and helps in your family．Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so．When a task is for a worthy cause （ our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it），this message can have a big impact．
This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility．When our children develop this responsibility，they'll be more disciplined，and they'll control their emotions better．When we give rewards to our kids，we reduce the sense of responsibility．We also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard，but who aren't likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them．
"Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while，but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior，"said Alfie Kohn，author of Punished by Rewards．"Good values have to be grown from the inside out．"Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a life time．The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them-a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline responsibility．So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself，and let your kids find their own rewards．
36．According to the passage，when children are threatened with punishment，B．
A．they may lose interest in their work
B．they may appear to be well-behaved
C．they may change to another person
D．the results will be worse than usual
37．What can we know from Paragraph 3？A
A．Parents should promote certain ideas to help children develop．
B．Children should be responsible for their discipline．
C．Children should help build a good family atmosphere．
D．No children will adapt to society without their parents'help
38．The underlined part"the carrot"in Paragraph 4probably refers toA．
A．rewards
B．aims
C．apologies
D．doubts
39．According to the passage，Alfie Kohn would agree that parents shouldD．
A．never pay attention to the way their children do things
B．show their children how to behave by example
C．never punish their children
D．help their children establish good values
40．What's the best title for the passage？B
A．Do you often reward your children？
B．Should parents reward their children？
C．When should parents reward their children？
D．What can parents reward their children with？
