For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk, flour, and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk

19、 by all the more interesting-and more expensive-things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright colored pictures.

26、e been observed. Three periods of development have been identified (确定) , including early infancy (幼儿期) , which extends from the first to the sixth month; middle infancy, from the sixth to the ninth month; and late infancy, from the ninth to the fifteenth month. Whereas the newborn is concerned with

27、 his or her inner world and reacts primarily to hunger and pain in early infancy, the baby is already aware of the surrounding world. During the second month, many infants are awake more and can raise their heads to look at things. They also begin to smile at people. By four months, the baby is sear

28、ching for things but not yet grasping them with its hands. It is also beginning to be wary(谨慎的) of strangers and may scream when a visiting relative tries to pick it up. By five months, the baby is grabbing objects and putting them into its mouth. Some babies are trying to feed themselves with their

29、 hands.In middle infancy, the baby concentrates on practicing a great many speech sounds. It loves to imitate actions and examine interesting objects.

33、Hemingway was born in Illinois, his family took him as a boy on frequent hunting and fishing trips and so acquainted him early with the kinds of virtues (美德) such as courage and endurance, which were later reflected in his fiction (文学作品) . After high school, he worked as a newspaper reporter and the

34、n went oversea to take part in World War I. After the war he lived for several years in Paris, where he became part of a group of Americans who felt strange from their country. They considered themselves a lost generation. It was not long before he began to publish the powerful novel “The Sun Also R

35、ises“. His subjects were often war and its effects on people, or contests, such as hunting or bullfighting, which demand stamina and courage.Hemingways style of writing is striking. His sentences are short, his words simple, yet they are often filled with emotion. A careful reading can show us, furt

36、hermore, that he is a master of the pause. That is, if we look closely, we see how the action of his stories continues during the silences, during the times his characters say nothing. This action is often full of meaning. There are times when the most powerful effect comes from restraint (适度). Such

37、 times occur often in Hemingways fiction. He perfected the art of expressing emotion with few words.56 The word “stamina“ in the last line of paragraph 1 can most probably be replaced by_.（A）money（B） time（C） energy（D）weapon57 Hemingway might have two kinds of special qualitiescourage and endurancebe

Over a period of more than 400 million years, they have evolved as the tallest, most massive, and longest-lived organisms ever to inhabit the Earth. Yet trees lack a means of defense that almost every animal has: trees c

42、annot move away from destructive forces. Because they cannot move, all types of living and nonliving enemiesfire, storms, microorganisms, insects, other animals and, later, humanshave wounded them throughout their history. Trees have survived because their evolution has made them into highly compart

43、mented (分隔的) organisms: that is, they wall off injured and infected wood.In that respect trees are radically different from animals. Fundamentally, animals heal, they preserve their life by making billions of repair, installing (安置) new cells or rejuvenated (恢复活力的) cells in the positions of old ones

44、. Trees cannot heal; they make no repairs. Instead, they defend themselves from the consequences of injury and infection by walling off the damage. At the same time they put new cells in new positions; in effect, they grow a new tree over the old one every year. The most obvious results of the proce
