19．Women are friendly．But men are more competitive．Why？Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin （荷尔蒙催生素）．Although known as the love hormone，it affects the sexes differently．
"Women tend to be social in their behavior．They often share with others．But men tend to be competitive．They are trying to improve their social status，"said Professor Ryan．
Generally，people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions （互动） such as falling in love or giving birth．
But in a former experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy．
Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships，but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship．
Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62men and women aged 20to 37．
Half of the participants（参与者）received oxytocin．The other half received placebo （安慰剂）．
After a week，the two groups switched with participants．They went through the same procedure with the other material．
Following each treatment，they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions．Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions．The questions were about telling friendship from competition．And their answers should be based on gestures，body language and facial expressions．
The results indicated that，after treatment with oxytocin，men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved，but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better．
Professor Ryan thus concluded："Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguishmany kinds of social interactions．And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors （因素） that are mainly hormonal．"

18．Lots of people give you advice on overcoming fear．（36）E However，I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous．So we want to treat fear as a friend．Here are three reasons．
（37）D Think about it．Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl （or guy） of your dreams？Which is more fearful，talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends？Fear is showing you what is important and what matters to you．If you didn't have fear to guide you，you might not know that!So fear is not so bad，is it？
Next，fear encourages us to take action．Fear is a call to action．In the past，our forefathers didn't run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it for food．Now，most of us don't face serious danger like hungry tigers every day，but we do face serious bosses or public speaking．So，what can we do？（38）G
Finally，fear lets you know you are alive．Why do we like roller coasters （过山车）？（39）F Same for horror movies．
So fear can guide you towards what's important for you and encourage you to take action to improve．（40）B
A．Don't we all need that kind of friend？
B．Don't fear to be wrong．
C．It frightens us in a mostly safe way．
D．Imagine what life would be like without fear．
E．The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity．
F．They say if you can overcome fear，you will be successful．
G．Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done．

17．Violin prodigies （神童），I learned，have come in distinct waves from distinct regions．Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe．I asked Isaac Stern，one of the world's greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon．"It is very clear，"he told me．"They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world．They were not allowed into the professional fields，but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage．"As a result，every Jewish parent's dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West．
Another element in the emergence of prodigies，I found，is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture （培育） talent．Nowadays，the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East．"In Japan，a most competitive society，with stronger discipline than ours，"says Isaac Stern，children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields，including music．When Western music came to Japan after World War II，that music not only became part of their daily lives，but it became a discipline as well．The Koreans and Chinese as we know，are just as highly motivated as the Japanese．
That's a good thing，because even prodigies must work hard．Next to hard work，biological inheritance（遗传） plays an important role in the making of a prodigy．J．S．Bach，for example，was the top of several generations of musicians，and four of his sons had significant careers in music．

32．Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school becauseA．
A．it would allow them access to a better life in the West
B．Jewish children are born with excellent musical talent
C．they wanted their children to enter into the professional field

C．encourage people to compete with each other
D．promise talented children high positions
=34．Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage？A．

B．extensive knowledge of music．
C．very early training．
D．a prejudice-free society．
35．Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage？D
A．Jewish Contribution to Music
B．Training of Musicians in the World
C．Music and Society
D．The Making of Music Prodigies．

16．Education is not an end，but a means to an end．In other words，we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them．Our purpose is to fit them for life．
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor，clever or stupid，one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation．But we can already see that free education for all is not enough：we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees； they refuse to do what they think"low"work； and in fact，work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful．But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor； we can live without education，but we die if we have no food．If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses，we would get terrible diseases in our towns．
In fact，when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life，it means that we are educated in such a way that，firstly，each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability，and secondly，that we realize that all jobs are necessary to society，and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one's work．Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society．
