Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious．Are these just stereotypes(模式化观念或形象)or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?
At least one group of people is certain that it can．A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs(企业家)in the UK found that 70％ felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public．Britain is hostile(敌意的)to success, they said．It has a culture of jealousy．(嫉妒) 1 ．Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green eyed monster” and the UK is its home．
Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea．They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money． 2 ．Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others－but at the cost of losing their own．Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this．
3 ．But there is also conflicting evidence．The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy．That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success．People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe．So the British people are not lazy, either．
“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology．“It's people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots．”
4 ．They set out to do things in their ways．They work long hours．By their own efforts they become millionaires． 5 ．It hardly seems worth following their example．If they were more friendly ,people would like them more．And more people want to be like them．
A．This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain．
B．The one who owns most money in the end is the winner．
C．As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood．”
D．It is not true that British people are born jealous of others success．
E．Some were given a little, others a great deal．
F．But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them．
G．Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem．

One of every 10,000 Americans will be murdered this year. More Americans were murdered from 1970 through 1974 than were killed in Vietnam (越南). Since 1990, more than 800,000 American civilians (平民) have been killed by gunfire—more than the total number of casualties (伤亡) in U.S. wars from the Revolution to Indochina.
Two-thirds of all murders in the United States are committed (犯罪) with guns, 92 percent of them handguns. Murder rates are highest in these parts of America with the largest percentage of gun owners, lowest in those with the smallest. Since 1968, the murder rate in the United States has more than doubled.
These statistics (统计数字) were culled (拣选) from Dr. Donald T. Lunder's recent monograph (专论), Murder and Madness (available) from the Stamford, Calif.. Much of what he reports has been noted before by others, but rarely if ever has anyone probed so comprehensively (综合性地) the American way of killing.
As a psychiatrist (精神病学家) who has worked in the police-court-prison system, Lunder notes that the average murderer today is only 20 years old, that 94 percent of all murders are intra-racial, that when they are not, blacks are more often the victims (受害人) of whites, that less than 30 percent of murder victims are strangers to their killers, that the South has the highest murder rate (3.6 per 100,000 that same year), that most murders are committed with little or no planning, that most murderers are easily apprehended (逮捕) and readily confess. (承认)
In the majority of homicides (杀人者) the killers had been drinking before hand. Since most homicides arise in the context of a quarrel and involve the most readily available weapon, it is worth surmising (猜测) what would happen if guns were not readily available. Knives—now the second most common weapon-would presumably (大概) become the most likely weapon in the typical assault (袭击) between spouses, lovers, neighbors, etc. In fact the death rate for all victims assaulted with guns is as much as five times that of those assaulted with knives.

3．In most cases, the murder happened in the context of ________.
[ ]

B．a intra-racial conflict
C．a quarrel between strangers
D．a quarrel with a weapon at hand
4．Which is the discovery of Dr. Lunder?
[ ]
A．The murder rate in the United States has risen.
B．The murder rates are highest in those parts of America where the owning percent age of guns are highest.
C．Besides guns, knives are the most common weapons for murders.
D．It's not very difficult to catch a murderer and have him tell the truth.
5．What can we infer from the passage?
[ ]
A．A lot of Americans died in the Wars in Indochina.
B．If the possession of guns are controlled, the murder rate will fall down.
C．As a psychiatrist, Dr. Lunder can do much to help those murderers to confess their guilt.
D．Without guns at hand, no murders will happen in a family.

If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? But 1 It never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(创造力)gets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”
2 Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading．
Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you． 3 Now this seed is unknowingly(未发觉地)used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity． 4 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．
So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading． 5 Go and get a book!
A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed．
B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry．
D．Now what are you waiting for?

F．Reading can help you make more friends, too．
G．Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary．
