From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions . It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating , and which are to be avoided ; when to attack and when to run away . The animal is , in fact , playing a very dangerous game with its environment , a game in which it must make decision---a matter of life or death .
Animals' ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call "genetic (遗传性的)learning" , which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime . Genetic learning is learning by a species ---animals of the same kind---as a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way . However , the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past . The more important individual experience is likely to be , the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game . Because most animals live in ever changing evironments from one generation to the next , it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning .
In the great majority of animals , their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with .That is why animals can survive .
49．The animal's life will come to an end_____________. .
A．if the animal makes a wrong decision B．if the animal plays a dangerous game
C．when the animal attacks its enemy D．when the animal runs too slowly
50．Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because____________. .
A．each generation has its own way of learning
B．their environments change all the time
C．they can act reasonably on their own
D．it takes their whole life to learn
51．When the environment doesn't change much , _____________. .
A．animals cannot act in a right way
B．genetic learning is less important for animals
C．individual learning plays a less important role
D．animals cannot get over problems on their on their own
52．Animals' living on generation after generation depends on _____________. .
A．their natural action pattern with their own experience
B．the lessons they have learnt during their lifetime
C．their experience in particular environments
D．the knowledge passed on by their parents

When you are advised to “get an education” if you want to raise your income, you are only
told half the truth. What you should be told is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not too much education that would prove an embarrassment to your society.
Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully drop out in grade school.
Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA, you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it’s an MBA, and only from a first-rate university. Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns(报酬递减规律性) begins to take effect. Do you know, for instance, that heavy truck drivers earn more a year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24,000, while the full professor managed to average just $23,930.
A Ph.D is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dark future. There are more Ph.D unemployed or underemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.
If you become a doctor of Philosophy in English or History or Anthropology or Political Science or language or worst of all-in Philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands.
Thousands of Ph.Ds are selling shoes, driving cabs, waiting on tables and filling out fruitless applications month after month. And then maybe taking a job in some high school or backwater(死气沉沉) college that pays much less than the janitor(门卫) earns.
Income and education are closely related. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.
57. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who __________.
A. will become loyal citizens to a nation
B. can always take good care of themselves
C. will not be a shame to society or their families
D. can meet the demands as a source of manpower
58. If you are as gifted as Bernard Shaw or Edison _______________.
A. you can get a high school diploma without difficulty
B. you can be professionally successful without a diploma
C. the least you should do is to get a diploma
D. you will be successful in grade school
59. Many Ph.D are out of work because_____________.
A. they are of little commercial to the society
B. they prefer easy jobs with more money
C. there are fewer jobs in high schools
D. they are wrongly educated
60. According to the passage, which of the following is Not true?
A. The higher your education level is, the more money you’ll earn.
B. If you are too well-educated, you may make things difficult for the society.
C. One must think carefully before going for a master’s degree.
D. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high
school, nor did
