     People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It is not easy
to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is
competitive.
     Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain
why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but
two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches
are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each
theory. The controversy is often referred to as "nature/nurture".
     Those who support the "nature" side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do
with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory
maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that we are almost completely governed
by our instincts.
     Proponents of the "nurture" theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed that our
environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A
behaviorist, B. F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their
surroundings. The behaviorists' view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like
machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.
     Either of these theories cannot yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to
our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long
time is certain.

1. Which of the following statements would the supporters of the "nature" theory agree with?

A. A person's instincts have little effect on his actions.
B. Environment is important in determining a person's behavior and personality.
C. Biological reasons have a strong influence on how we act.
D. The behaviorists' view correctly explains how we act.

2. Concerning the nature/nurture controversy, the writer of this article.

A. supports the nature theory
B. supports the nurture theory
C. believes both are completely wrong
D. thinks that the correct explanation of human behavior will take ideas from both theories.

3. In the United States, Black people often score below White people on intelligence tests. With this in
mind, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Nature proponents would say that Whites are genetically superior to Blacks.
B. Supporters of the nature theory would say that Whites score well because they have a superior
environment.
C. Behaviorists would say that Blacks often lack the educational and environmental advantages that
Whites enjoy.
D. Nurture proponents would disagree that Blacks are biologically inferior to Whites.

     We live in a very competitive world. Everybody seems to be competing with someone at
some level. Each week we spend hours playing or watching others compete in sporting activities
all over the world. We cannot help being impressed by the level of excellence that these people
achieve.
     In sport and business, competition encourages excellence in performance. Where there is no
competition, improvement in performance is less likely. Some level of competition is a have-to in
all aspects of life.
     The following story makes this point.
     As two friends are hiking in the forest they encounter a huge, ferocious and obviously hungry
Grizzly Bear. Its next meal has just come into sight, and they are it! The first friend calculates that
the bear will overtake them in 27.3 seconds. At that point, she panics; realizing there is no escape.
She faces her friend, with the fear of death in her eyes. To her amazement, she observes that her
friend is not scared at all. To the contrary, her friend is quickly but calmly taking off her hiking boots
and putting on jogging shoes. "What do you think you're doing?" the first hiker says to her companion,
"You'll never be able to outrun that grizzly." "That's true," says the companion, "but all I have to do
is outrun you."
     We all compete when the motivation is strong enough. However, competition is not the real
purpose of life. Fulfilling the measure of our creation can only be achieved individually.
     Most of time, we are not in competition with any other person, so we do not have to compare
ourselves with others. There is only one person that can fulfill our role and that is us. This means
that others cannot beat us to the finish line because there is no race. This is not to say that others
do not have a similar role to us, but it is never the same. This is important to understand if we are
going to enjoy life. Every human being is unique and cannot be duplicated. In this, I am not referring
to the body, only to the spirit, soul, or the essence of a person.

1. The first 4 paragraphs tell us that competition

A. is necessary though harmful
B. only exists in sports and business
C. is unavoidable and beneficial
D. is a fight against oneself

2. Why is the story of two friends told in the passage?

A. To advise friends to be loyal even in competition.
B. To expose the weak side of friendship when tested.
C. To support the author's own argument on competition.
D. To offer evidence of necessary competition in life.

3. From the last two paragraphs we learn that .

A. competition plays an important role in social development
B. we don't have to compete since we are all different
C. we have to beat others in order to survive
D. there is more to life than just competition

4. As a whole the passage advises the readers to .

A. realize we are living in a world of competition
B. face competition in a balanced state of mind
C. have a strong sense of being a possible winner
D. value friendship however fierce competition may be

     "BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on
one side, and I on the other side.
     We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather
sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
     But now … I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We
differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels
like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
     I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived ,I saw that the light was still on.
     I thought to myself: "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?" In fact, it was nothing.
Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never
had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous(蛮横的)words: "I
can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"
     All the lights were off except father's. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking(用……盖住) me underneath the covers.
     This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do
has become his second nature.
     The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe…ith the key in hand, I was as nervous as I
had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my
cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it's
second to none.

1. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A. b, e, d, c, a
B. b, e, c, d, a
C. b, e, a, c, d
D. b, e, c, a, d
2. What made the writer think of his childhood ?
A. The sight of the street lights.
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D. The sight of light in his own house.
3. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
A. perhaps the father is getting older and older.
B. perhaps the son has already grown up.
C. perhaps they never agree with each other.
D. perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
4. What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?
A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B. The father is actually kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding fault with his son.

     Just as the stock (股票) market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their
money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our
beliefsabout what is possible.Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to challenge our belief
systems determines the success of our inner economy.For example, imagine that your family of origin
had a belief that musical talent was not something they possessed.As a member of that group, you
would likely hold that same belief about yourself.As a result, even if you had a great desire to create
music, you might be hesitant to really get behind yourself, fearing that your investment (投资) would
not pay off.Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not born
talented would probably be a major obstacle to investing your energy in your dream.
     On the other hand, if you found a way to release that negative belief, a great flood of energy would
pour forth, greatly increasing the likelihood of your success.How much energy we are willing to invest
in the various ideas, dreams, and visions we carry within is like the money people are, or are not,
willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market.And in both cases, belief
plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something.One way to open up the
possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide
we sometimes think.There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our faith in, such as
passion, feeling, and sense.Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that
go against the grain, trusting their sense over the common opinion held by common people about what
will work.
     In the same way, we can learn to trust our heart's desires and our sense to guide us, questioning any
beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves.As we take out energy from limiting
ideas about what is possible, we free up the resources that have the power to make our inner economy
prosper.

1. We can safely conclude from the first paragraph that________.

A. our belief is not reliable
B. belief is not so important in our success
C. belief is an obstacle to our success
D. our belief determines our success in some way

2. According to the passage, if a family of origin has passion for literature, the members of the family
    will probably________.

A. write poems
B. hate literature
C. enter the field of literature
D. teach literature

3. We can put our faith in the following things of success except________.

A. passion
B. feeling
C. sense
D. stock market

4. The purpose of the author is________.

A. to teach us a lesson
B. to give us some useful suggestions
