Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.

Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?

To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development, and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.

On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.

1.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to __________.

A. illustrate where science can be applied

B. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new book

C. remind the reader of the importance of science

D. explain why many writers use science in their works

2.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?

A. Its strong basis. B. Its convincing points.

C. Its clear writing. D. Its memorable characters.

3.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?

A. Contradictory. B. Supportive.

C. Cautious. D. Critical.

4.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?

A. Problems with the book. B. Brooks’s life experiences.

C. Death of the characters. D. Brooks’s translation skills.

17．Learning new cultures is one of my favorite things to do．
College is a time for new and exciting experiences as well as a time to explore diverse and innovative（创新的）ideas．What could be better than traveling to China to learn about their ideas，history，and culture？I believe studying abroad is something that every college student should do to help to expand his or her horizons，and to appreciate everything the world has to offer．I spent the first eight of my early years living abroad in two countries．From this rich period of growth，I acquired an identity as a global citizen，and the skills to independently navigate life in a foreign culture．It seems appropriate to support my next jump in life with an abroad experience that will show the directions in which I have grown since my early years，as well as provide a unique context for exploring the limits of my education．
Here is an undeniable advantage to living and studying in China； to be submersed in （投入）the Chinese life is the only way to fully understand and learn about how the country impacts and is impacted by the rest of the world．Not only am I learning about China，but I have also come to appreciate other countries in the world from a different point of view．Being in China has given me the change to learn in a different environment，and I do not think there is any better way to learn the culture than to actually be there．I have a very strong admiration for the Chinese language，people，and culture．I will continue to apply my newfound knowledge to my entire life and the way I look at the world around me．

Fruit and Scent Playground，Stockholm
Is there a picky eater on a steady diet of chicken fingers and cheese？Perhaps a trip to Sweden's Fruit and Scent Playground will change his or her culinary（烹饪的）tune．This playground features a banana slide，an orange seesaw，pear huts，a watermelon jungle gym and a pair of cherry swings，all designed by public artist Johan Ferner Strom．Now，who can say you can't play with your food？
