10．The words of Gandhi，Einstein and other great thinkers are to be quoted in service announcements on London's Underground．
Transport for London has asked Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller to edit a list of mottos to be used by tube drivers．Gandhi's"there is more to life than increasing its speed"and the artist Cezanne's"we live in a rain-bow of chaos"are among the quotes．Deller hopes they will make passengers'journeys a bit more thought-provoking（发人深省的）．
Deller's original plan was to abolish all public announcements for a day．"It makes me feel annoyed，"he said．"It's like some psychological warfare（战争） on the passengers．"
But his idea was refused by the manager of Transport for London，who instead agreed to the plan of replacing some announcements with something more human and attractive．
Sally Shaw，who is running the scheme for Transport for London，says it is part of an attempt to improve day-to-day interaction and rely less on automated announcements．
"I think everyone has their own little philosophy on their journeys．And if we can get more of that out in the air，that would be great，"she said．
Susy Wells，one of the drivers to test the idea out on the London Underground，is also enthusiastic about it．
She said，"I like to make my own announcements and it's nice to get passengers to think as well．"
What's more，some quotes are helpful to the drivers．They help the passengers become more understanding about the drivers'work．
The quotes such as Thomas Fuller's"a stumble（绊脚） may prevent a fall"are popular for helping explain why a little inconvenience was sometimes necessary to keep the system safe．

53．The underlined phrase"tube drivers"probably meansB．
A．taxi drivers B．subway drivers
C．truck drivers D．bus drivers
54．Why did Deller want to abolish all public announcements on the underground？B
A．Because they cause a war among passengers．
B．Because the public announcements make Deller tired．
C．Because the public announcements are dull．
D．All public announcements are not suitable for the passengers．
55．The reason why the sayings are to be quoted on London's Underground isB．
A．that everyone has their own life motto
B．that sayings are believed to be more human and attractive
C．that sayings can help develop spiritual civilization in London
D．that saying can make drivers think more
56．The best title of this passage would beB．
A．Changes on London's Underground
B．Culture on London's Underground
C．Some Quotes Seen on London's Underground
D．Introduction to London's Underground．

18．Attempts to understand the relationship between social behavior and health have their origin in history．Dubos （1969）suggested that primitive（原始的）humans were closer to the animals because they，too，relied upon their instincts to stay healthy．Yet some primitive humans recognized a cause and effect relationship between doing certain things and alleviating（减轻）symptoms of a disease or improving the condition of a wound．Since there was so much that primitive humans did not understand about the functioning of the body，magic became an integral component of the beliefs about the causes and cures of health disorders．So it is not surprising that early humans thought that illness was caused by evil spirits．Primitive medicines made from vegetables or animals were invariably used in combination with some form of ritual （礼仪） to drive harmful spirits away from a diseased body．
One of the earliest attempts in the Western world to formulate principles of health care based upon rational thought and rejection of supernatural phenomena is found in the work of the Greek physician Hippocrates．Little is known of Hippocrates who lived around 400B．C．，not even whether he actually authored the collection of books that bears his name．Nevertheless，the writings attributed to him have provided a number of principles underlying modern medical practice．One of his most famous contributions，the Hippocratic Oath，is the foundation of contemporary medical ethics （道德）．Among other things，it requires a physician to swear that he or she will help the sick，keep oneself from intentional wrong-doing or harm，and keep secret all matters to keep the doctor-patient relationship．
Hippocrates also argued that medical knowledge should be derived（源自于）from an understanding of the natural sciences and the logic of cause and effect relationships．In this classic thesis，On Airs，Waters，and Places，Hippocrates pointed out that human-being is influenced by the totality of environmental factors：living habits or lifestyle，climate，geography of the land，and the quality of air and food．Interesting enough，concerns about our health and the quality of air，water，and places are still very much written in the twentieth century．

31．The topic of the first paragraph is summarized inA．
A．the first sentence of the paragraph
B．the second sentence of the paragraph
C．the third sentence of the paragraph
D．the last sentence of the paragraph
32．Why did primitive humans rely on magic in their beliefs about the causes and cures of diseasesB？
A．Because magic was an inseparable part of their life．
B．Because they had little knowledge about the functioning of the body．
C．Because the diseases were caused by the evil spirits．
D．Because magic must be used in going through the rituals to drive out the evil spirits．
33．Considering Hippocrates'background，we can see from the second paragraph thatD．
A．he was the forefather of modern medicine
B．experts are sure that the books bearing his name were not written by him
C．he had a rational mind aided by supernatural instincts
D．experts do not know much about him except when and where he lived
34．All of the following are included in the Hippocratic Oath EXCEPTD．
A．helping patients
B．keeping oneself from harming patients
C．keeping secret all matters to maintain a good relationship with the patients
D．obeying rules for modern medicine practice
35．Which of the following best expressed the main idea of the last paragraph？C
A．Doctor's concerns remain unchanged．
B．Medicine comes from nature．
C．Environment affects health．
D．Climate determines lifestyle．
