Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons¡ªfor example, economic(¾­¼ÃµÄ) reasons¡ªwhy they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(Ó°Ïì) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(ÆÆ»µ) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(±£ÊصÄ) and do not like change.

Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.

A. destroy old buildings

B. choose new architectural style

C. put things in a different place

D. respect people's feelings for historical buildings

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

Mary is digging in the ground for a photo, when along comes John£®Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream£®John¡¯s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away£®Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary¡¯s potato£®

We¡¯ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young¡ªthe brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him£®But Mary and John are not humans£®They¡¯re African baboons(áôáô)£®1.

John¡¯s scream and his mother¡¯s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others£®2.

Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(Ô³) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated£®_3. An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting£®When she found nothing, she ¡°walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day£®¡±

Another way to decide whether an animal¡¯s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal£®A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy£®¡°He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe£®When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors£®¡± Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe£®_4.But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying£®

It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies£®5._ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence£®

A£®In most cases the animal probably doesn¡¯t know it is cheating£®

B£®An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania£®

C£®And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior£®

D£®So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery£®

E£®The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use of tools

F£®This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly used by baboons£®

G£®Of course it¡¯s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why£®

In my class, there was a really weak-looking guy. I don¡¯t know if his name was Vit or Wit. I will him as Wit in this story of mine. He was a pale, thin guy. Not only his build looked weak, the way he was also weak. He walked slowly but he tried to stay off of everyone¡¯s way. The friends in my class, Jean and Ingrid, would him. Truth to be told,

I them as well. We did things like taking his stuff, like his pens and pencils, and them somewhere in the school.

Wit was also really of insects, even butterfly. Jean, Ingrid, and I often put beetle on his clothes and he would run around, trying to it off. There were many beetles in the school so that was the insect we used to scare him with. Other insects such as butterfly were hard to so we pretty much gave up on it. We would often take the when Wit was off-guard and put the insects on him. it was on him, he would run around or jump about. He was too scared to it and pull it off.

Suddenly one day, we were by the school. When I walked into the room, Wit¡¯s mother, as well as Ingrid¡¯s mother, Jean¡¯s father, and mine were in the room silently. Wit¡¯s mother said that Wit went home and the sandbag shouting ¡°Jean!!! Ingrid!!! Archer!!!¡± every day. I wanted to laugh but didn¡¯t with all the she was putting on us .She asked many things, including things I had no idea about such as ¡°Who put Wit¡¯s bag in the girl toilet?¡± Apparently, it was Jean who did it. Jean seemed to have bullied Wit quite a lot and got quite a(n) from Wit¡¯s and her own mother.

I think it should have been quite guilty for to see us scolded by the parents. However , we decided to stop bullying Wit and be friendly to him.
