7．For most people，the word"fashion"means"clothes"．When people ask the question，"What's in fashion in Italy？"they normally mean，"What clothes are in fashion？"And they use the adjective"fashionable"in the same way．"She was wearing some fashionable boots．""His shirt has a really fashionable color．"
But，of course，there are fashions in many things，not only in clothes．There are fashions in holidays，in restaurants，in films and books．There are even fashions in university courses，jobs and in languages．
Fashions change naturally．If you look at pictures of people or objects from the past，you will see that fashions have always changed，An English house of 1750was different from one of 1650．A fashionable man in 1780looked very different from his grandson in1860．
Nowadays，fashions change very quickly．Some of this is natural．We hear about things much more quickly than in the past．Newspapers，radios，telex and televisions send information from one country to another in a few hours．New fashions mean that people will buy new things．There is money in fashion．

5．There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence．The first is sort of brain he is born with．Human brains differ considerable，some being more capable than others．But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with，an individual will have a low intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn．So the second factor is what happens to the individual-the sort of the environment in which he is brought up．If an individual is handicapped（受阻碍） environmentally，it is likely that his brain will stop to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable．
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be proved by the identical twins，Peter and John．When the twins were three months old，their parents died，and they were placed in separate foster（寄养） homes．Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities．John，however，was educated in the home well-to-do parents who had been to college．This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens，when they were given tests to measure their intelligence．John's IQ was 125，twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his brother．

4．To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies．No child imitates every action he sees．Sometimes，the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example．Therefore we must turn to a more subtle theory than"Monkey see，monkey do．"
Look at it from the child's point of view．Here he is in a new situation，lacking a ready response．He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends．If he lacks a ready response for the situation，and cannot reason out what to do，he observes a model who seems able to get the right result．The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do．?
There is a second element at work in this situation．The child may be able to attain his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him．When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message，he is told emphatically that such a racket（叫嚷） is unpleasant，that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly．Thus，the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly．One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response．Then other adults reward some actions and criticize others．If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect，he must adopt responses his social group approves．
In finding trial responses，the learner does not choose models at random．He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like，rather than a person whose social status he wishes to avoid．If the pupil wants to be a good violinist，he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players； while some other person may most influence his approach to books．?
Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole，and he becomes an identifying figure．We use some people as models over a wide range of situations，imitating much that they do．We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success．

66．By the last sentence of the first paragraph，the authorC．

3．Writer and journalist Cristina Odone aroused widespread anger by suggesting that her daughter was being pressured to take science for graduation exams and this was unreasonable for a child with a literary bent．She even claimed that"…this focus on STEM[Science，Technology，Engineering and Mathematics]subjects sends a message that makes her and me uncomfortable：doing a man's work is more impressive than doing a woman's．"
Like many others，I totally disagree with her position as a scientist．Taking science to age 16should simply be seen as part of obtaining a well-rounded education．Furthermore，identifying STEM as a man's subject leads in part to our serious lack of diversity（多样性） in the scientific workforce．Meanwhile，many male authors and poets might be surprised to learn that literature is"woman's work"．
Novelist Lucy Ellman once wrote，"The purpose of artists is to ask the right questions，even if we don't find the answers，whereas the aim of science is to prove some silly points．"But proving some silly points might save your life，light your home，allow you to surf the web or visit your relatives living far away．Only someone who has never considered how extensive the outputs of science are in our society could write such a"silly"sentence．
However，having said that，I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities．I do not see this as an either/or situation but it's all part of being human．I admire and appreciate those who try to express things hard to be described in words，but it simply isn't my strength．I may wholeheartedly believe that science is vital but that doesn't mean I think the humanities （or indeed the social sciences） are not．Since science costs more to do than arts subjects，more funding should go to science．That statement is not equal to saying that the humanities should not be properly funded．Somehow，we are constantly being put in opposition，a divide that is damaging to both scientists and non-scientists．
So why are the humanities important to me？I would say it is exactly because I am human．I sit here typing listening to a Schubert piano trio．I have been reading EP Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class to try to understand how our society was and is the shape it is．Scientists may be capable of dealing with the ethics（道德标准） of their work，but they cannot and should not answer the question of whether we should do this in isolation．Answering the many questions that our developing scientific capabilities throw up requires the input of researchers from many fields．
So let us enjoy our capabilities on all fronts，recognizing that we each have different strengths and weaknesses．It's time to ban the damaging divide that sets one part of the research community against another and celebrate our humanity as well as the Humanities．

A．doing a man's work is more impressive than doing a woman's
B．some people may have a narrow understanding of science
C．the purposes of artists and scientists are totally different

D．I admire and appreciate the work of the humanities

A．To explain how extensive the outputs of science are．
B．To call on scientists to understand the society and the shape of it．
