Undoubtedly you have periodically asked yourself the same question, perhaps focused on why you have to work. "Self interest in its broadest sense, including the interests of family and friends, is a basic motivation for work in all societies. But self interest an involve more than providing for subsistence or accumulating wealth.

Even within the United States, we cannot understand work as simply a response to economic necessity. Studies show that the vast ma jority of Americans would continue to work even if they inherited enough money to live comfortably. When people work, they gain a contributing place in society. The fact that what they receive pay for their work indicates that what they do is needed by other people and that what they are a necessary part of the social fabric.

Sociologist Melvin L. Kohn and his associates have shown some of the ways work affects our lives.Generally,people who engage in self directed work come to value self direction more highly,to be more open to new ideas and to be less authoritarian in their relationships with
others. Moreover, they develop self conceptions consistent with these values, and as parents they pass these characteristics on to their children. Our work, then, is an important socializing experience that influences who and what we are 51.

The best title for the passage might be A. The Society and the Individual B The Significance of Work C The Society and Work D The Definition of Work Passage 2 Perhaps most puzzling than purring is the cat s ability to survive falls. A research shed light on this ability in 1987. The cats habit of falling out of open windows provi ded the researchers with an opportunity to study 115 cats that had fallen from high rise apartments in New York City. The average fall was 5.5 stories Of the 115 cats studied, 90 percent survived, including one cat that fell 32 stories onto a sidewalk and suffered only mild chest injury and a chipped tooth. Interestingly, cats that fell from 9 or more stories suffered fewer injuries than those falling from lower heights. Among cats that fell from 9 to 32 stories, only 5 percent suffered fatal injuries, but 10 percent of those that fell from 7 or fewer stories died. How do cats manage to take falling so easily?For one thing, in comparison to human beings, a it is much smaller and lighter. Also, a cat has more body surface area in proportion to its weight than a human being has. this increase in surface area results in greater air resistance, which slows the fall. The important thing, however, is that a falling cat apparently positions itself to form a sort of parachute(ki).

Also,a cat has more body surface area in proportion to its weight than a human being has.This increase in surface area results in greater air resistance,which slows the fall.The important thing,however, is that a falling cat apparently positions itself to form a sort of parachute(降落伞).Less than one second after it starts to fall, a cat quickly rights itself in midair with all four legs poin ting downward. The cat's inner ears act like an internal
gyroscope, telling the cat which direction it is falling. With the legs pointed downward, the cat then spreads its legs so that its body forms a sort of parachute that increases air resistance With its limbs flexed, the cat also cushions the force of impact by landing on all four legs. The force of the impact is distributed through the muscles and joints The researchers believe that the parachute effect comes into play mainly above four stories, at the point where the cat has reached its greatest rate of descent. Of the 115 cats the researchers tudied, only I of 13 cats that fell nine or more stories sustained a bone fracture, whereas most to the cats that fell from lower stories suffered some type of broken bone. 55.

The parachute effect starts A, in the middle of the cat 's fall B when its fall reaches the highest speed C at the beginning of the cat's fall D, towards the end of the cats fall Passage 3 For the most part, schools are designed to produce people who fit into society, not people who set out to change it However, schools, particularly universities, may not only transmit culture; they may add to the cultural heritage. Contemporary American society places a good deal of emphasis on the development of new knowledge, especially in the physical and biological sciences, medicine, and engineering. In recent decades, the nations leading universities have increasingly become research centres. An emphasis on research has led universities to judge professors not primarily in terms of their competence as teachers, but as researchers. Promotions, salary increases, and other benefits have long been dependent on research and publication. However, the top priority is no longer

An emphasis on research has led universities to judge professors not primarily in terms of their competence as teachers, but as researchers.Promotions,salary increases,and other benefits have long been dependent on research and publication. However,the top priority is no longer
publishing. To be successful these days, professors have to bring in funds from research grants provided by government and private industry. Critics contend that academic success is most likely to come to those who have learned to "neglect"their teaching duties to pursue research activities. Defenders say that even when students are not themselves involved in research pro jects they benefit from the intellectual stimulation that a research or on brings ty life Ma jor research universities like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have also established a range of partnerships with industrial concerns to develop techno logy and products with commercial potential. With university industry ties continuing to grow, debate has flared about the consequences for basic science, academic openness, the control of information, the direction of research, and the influence on students. 59. Now, American universities consider A. it urgent to change the U. S. culture B natural sciences more important than culture C research and publication more important than teaching D research more important than publications 0. In contemporary standard, a successful teacher is one A, who teaches well B who can obtain financial support for research C who gets the highest salary D who has many publication 61. Supporters of the present emphasis on research argue that A, it involves more students in it B. it does good to students anyway C. it has a direct good effect on teaching D. it earns a lot of money for a university 62. The author seems the shift of emphasis to research A to be very dissatisfied with sorry C to be in favor of D to be neutral about Passage 4 During the whole of a dull, dark and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a ngularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. Thus Edgar Allan Poe opened his story of"The Fall of the House of Usher" in 1839. In this beautifully crafted sen tence he captured so much that is essential to the horror story: darkness, ominous solitude, foreboding calm, apprehension and uncertainty, and a deep feeling of me lancholy that could soon turn to fear. Many kinds of fiction are self explanatory: mysteries, Westerns, love stories, spy thrillers
