21、he reward. He too had a ball of human hair that he said he had taken from the dead lions stomach. The town did not know which man to pay. Maybe neither one had killed, the right mountain lion. To settle the argument, they decided to turn the whole thing over to Dr. Hausman.Dr. Hausman studied the ha

22、ir and repotted that the second bunter should be paid. The hair in the stomach of the mountain lion he had killed matched the hair of the boy. Tbewhole town was relieved to know for sure that the killer had been found.There are other kinds of detectives who do not wear a uniform, like Hausman, but s

23、olve endless mysteries every year. There is, for example, the dust detective. Tiny bits of dust stick to your clothes, your fingernails, your hair, or your shoes. They catch in your nose and in your ears. They tell where you have been and what you have done lately. The dust detective often helps cat

Your childs hearing ability is normal. Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding wh

29、at hes heard at school.Why should this be? Its because hes not using his heating ability to help him remember and understand what hes been taught.Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear. Theyve got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to

30、learn and remember things by what they see. Theyve got good seeing memories. Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor hearing and seeing-memories. Most children, Id say, unknowingly prefer one method over the oth

31、er for learning and remembering.But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives (使不能) the child of the full use of his natural senses. Mrs. Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her sons heating. “But he never seems to really understand

32、what he hears, thats what his teachers tell me,“ she said.“My psychological examination of William shows hes weak in his hearing memory,“ I said, “but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school.“Our family doctor examined William and he says the boys hearing was all right. So, that

33、 proves youre right on that point,“ admitted Mrs. Alien. “So how can we help him? My husband and I will do anything you say, Dr. Dursteln.“You can do a lot to improve Williams hearing memory, but itll take time. You must be patient and not expect results immediately.“ I cautioned.I suggested a detai

34、led program for the parents to use at home.

37、n get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear.（C） The favoring of one sense over the other is not a bad habit.（D）The author didnt suggest a detailed program for the parents to use at home.52 The word conservation has a thrifty (节俭的) meaning. To conserve is to save and pro

38、tect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers (祖先) had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw (天然的) materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasur

39、es were “limitless and inexhaustible“. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated (复杂的), and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to al

40、l the others.Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term cli

41、matic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation“ had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of

42、 everyones daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to benefit the soil fully

43、 before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in

44、cubic volume(立方)above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original (原始的) beauty of nature as we can.52 The authors attitude towards the present situation in the use of natural resources is_.（A）positive (支持的)（B） neutral (中立的)（C） suspicious (怀疑的)（D）critical (批评的)53 Acc

47、s figured, also in cubic volume above the earth“ in the third paragraph?（A）Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller.（B） Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.（C） We need to take some measures to protect space in volume.（D）We must create better living conditions for

48、both birds and animals.56 Cultural differences in business entertaining include problems such as whom one entertains and where, and how one entertains. In countries where status (地位)is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will ofte

49、n invite people to their homes. However, in some societies the home is considered too private, unworthy, or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a “help yourself“ method of entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well whenentertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. In one instance, a
