A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.

81.

In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors or of people very different from our own can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.

82.

In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.

83.

In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls.

By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that status are unholy.

 

    Managers of most businesses want high profits in order to pay high dividends(红利)to their investors.For this reason,they aim to keep costs as low as possible .They also want to set high prices to gain high returns.But competition within the industry often prevents them from doing so.Generally;a business will not increase the price of its output if its competitors will not increase their prices.If a business sets its prices higher than those of its competitors,many of its customers will buy the output of its competitors.

    An important decision managers make is their choice of the input-mix in what combination of capital(资本),labor.and raw materials to use in production.The goal is to keep production costs as low as possible.If labor costs are high,for example,a firm may spend money in automatic machinery so that fewer workers are needed to complete the same task.If labor is cheap,the company may decide to employ extra workers instead of buying a machine to do the job.The combination of inputs that permits a firm to produce its goods or services at the lowest possible cost without reducing quality is called the most productive input-mix

    The goal of keeping production costs low also affects a company’s choice of location.The resources an industry needs and the customers it serves are rarely close to each other.As a result,a business must transport inputs,outputs,or both.A business also tries to keep transportation costs as low as possible.

    Transportation costs are based on weight as well as on distance.The location a company selects may thus depend on whether the company’s product is heavier or lighter than the materials used to make it.The soft drink industry,which adds water to other ingredients to make its products,is an example of an industry that produces weight-gaining products.Soft drink companies choose locations near their customers.The paper industry is an example of industries that produce weight losing products.Many such industries are near sources of rataT materials.

 

57.What do businesses choose to do about the prices of their products in competition?

    A.To set higher prices.       B.To leave the prices unchanged.

    C.To offer lower prices.     D  To keep the prices adjustable.

58.The underlined phrase “the most productive input-mix” means mixing inputs      

    A.with goods or services sold at the lowest possible prices

    B.by selling goods or services at the lowest possible prices

    C.to produce goods or services at the lowest possible cost

    D  to produce quality goods or services at the lowest possible cost

 59.Why is a company usually very careful about choosing its location?

    A.Because the materials it needs are rather far away.

    B.Because the customers it serves are not so close.

    C.Because transportation costs and the distance are closely related.

    D  Because both production and transportation costs are very high.

60.The soft drink industry and the paper making industry are used as examples because      

    A.they share a lot of things in common

    B  they are both only making lower profits

    C.the transportation costs of their products are the same

    D  they are quite different when considering the locations

Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear(折磨) than those who have a support system of friends.

Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don’t want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.

One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and are protected against the symptoms(症状) of depression and loneliness.

Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men, while men are more likely to have a “fight or flight” reaction.

Women also tend to have larger, denser social network, in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically(心理上), friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the difference in the length of one’s life time.
