28、out this strange hitchhiker. She didnt know why, but she felt instinctively that there was something wrong, something old, and something dangerous. But how could an old lady be dangerous?

29、ty collar of the dress, the shapeless body, and the arms with their thick black hairs. Thick black hairs? Hairy arms? Andreas blood froze. This wasnt a woman. It was a man. At first, she didnt know what to do. Then suddenly, an idea came into her racing, terrified brain. Swinging the wheel suddenly,

30、 she threw the car into a skid, and brought it to a halt. “My god!“ she shouted. “A child! Did you see the child? I think I hit her. “ The “old lady“ was clearly shaken by the sudden skid. “I didnt see anything dear,“ she said. “I dont think you hit anything. “ “I am sure it was a child!“ insisted A

31、ndrea. “Could you just get out and have a look? Just see if there is anything on the road? “ she held her breath. Would her plan work? It did. The passenger slowly climbed out to investigate. As soon as in front of her vehicle, Andrea gunned the engine and accelerated madly away, and soon she had pu

32、t a good three miles between herself and the awful hitchhiker. It was only then that she thought about the bag lying on the floor in front of her.

37、ces, as the name shows, are the scientific study of the behavior of human beings, both in groups and individually. There is no past or present information of human beings who were not in groups. The groups may be small, like the family, or large, like a city or nation. But in order to reach complete

38、 development, man must be a member of a society. It is true that some individuals are more solitary than others. Some, like monks or hermits, may decide, for religious or other reasons, to leave their society and live alone. But these are unusual individuals, and even they can not separate themselve

39、s completely from the rest of mankind. A society, then, seems to be the natural environment of mankind. Scholars who study mankind in social organizations are called social scientists. The human behavior which social scientists study is learned behavior. The behavior of the human body as a living or

40、ganism is studied by the biologist, the biochemist, or the physician. This behavior of mans physical body is inherited through the genetic development of his species. For example, all physical normal and healthy humans learn to walk as their bodies grow and develop. Social scientists concern themsel

41、ves with the behavior that man must learn so that he can take his place in a social group. In order to be a functioning member of a group, each member must learn to behave in a way acceptable to other members of that group. The kind of behavior, which must be learned, differs according to the differ

42、ences among societies. The social scientists are newcomers to academic studies. By the end of the nineteenth century, the natural sciences had developed a method, by which they were able to understand the physical world. By using the scientific method, chemists, physicists, and astronomers, for exam

43、ple, learned a great deal about the universe. It seemed reasonable to apply the same method to the study of mans social life. Through this kind of study man may learn to understand himself much better. The scientific method is a way of collecting facts in order to describe an existing situation as c

44、orrectly and completely as possible. The description must consist only of what can be perceived, analyzed, measured, and recorded. Feelings and personal opinions or ideas have no place in scientific description. The facts must be observed and described in such a way that another scientist could repe

45、at the same study and get the same results. 36 According to the passage, what is true about all human being? （ A） They are more solitary than others. （ B） They all belong to clubs. （ C） They are all members of groups. （ D） They separate themselves from the rest of world. 37 What does a social scient

49、useholds for which, some years ago, he would have hired professional help. The main reason for this is a financial one.
