He looks like somebody important! I remember thinking about a middle-aged man standing at a checkout counter． Something set him apart． Even the boy bagging groceries seemed to sense it． He sped up than usual as he glanced with respect at the man．

Trying to find out what was different about him, I found that he looked quite ordinary． Although he gave the impression of being tall, I could see he was actually a little shorter than average． His appearance wasn’t particularly outstanding, and he was wearing plain weekend sports attire ( 运动休闲装 )． Not until the man was leaving did it strike me． He carried himself as if he were somebody worth caring about． Head up and chest out, he walked proudly from the market． I watched the other shoppers as they looked down over their baskets． And me? In the glass of the store’s side doors, I saw reflected ( 映现 ) a worn-out housewife who looked as if she’d carried too many bags of groceries．

Suddenly, the words I’d heard my mother repeat hundreds of times as I was growing up held new meaning． “Stand up straight ! Lift yourself by pretending strings are pulling you from the tops of your ears．” I thought of myself being pulled up ． I felt taller as I came nearer to the market’s doors． This time I saw reflected a woman who looked as if she knew where she was going! But as I rushed home in five o’clock traffic and tried to fix dinner before a seven o’clock meeting, my good manners disappeared． It wasn’t until the next day as I was trying on clothes in a department store that I remembered again． Each thing I put on seemed wrong． Suddenly I recalled the man in the supermarket． I lifted myself up． The dress looked nicer on me． I liked the dress! Sure enough, I looked five to seven pounds lighter． Dieting titles I’d read came to mind, such as “How to Lose Pounds in Weeks?” Now I had a new title: “How to Look Thinner in Seconds．”

68．The boy bagging groceries glanced with respect at the man because ____ ．

A．the man gave him some tips for his service

B．the man walked in a strange way in the supermarket

C．his manners was different from the other people in the supermarket

D．the man was a special person for him

69．The writer looked five to seven pounds lighter because _________ ．

A．she was having a diet

What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science?

We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.

What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.

He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective（客观的） and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum（光谱）.

He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.

Furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.

Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.

These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.

1.Many people believe that science helps society to progress through ________.

A. knowledge B. more than one aspect

C. technology D. the use of machines

2.Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE?

A. He doesn’t find confidence and pleasure in work.

B. He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.

C. He is interested in problems that are explained.

D. He looks for new ways of acting.

3.According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT ________.

A. easily believe in unchecked statements

B. easily criticize others’ research work

C. always use his imagination in work

D. always use evidence from observation

4.Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses?

A. complete B. accurate C. objective D. complicated

5.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Application of technology

B. Progress in modem society.

C. Scientists’ ways of thinking and acting

D. How to become a successful scientist.

     American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.The major
factors contributing to the making of this flew nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard
environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in

     In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.They brought
their own culture to America and later on,different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique
American culture is formed,a common cultural life with commonly shared values.
     The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their
own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic
backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced
in the United States.
     Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.
