15、ual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that its better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a “real” dinner party.

The fine points of etiquette (礼节 ) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (“Chew with your mouth closed.” “Keep your elbows off the t

30、Suicides as a Result of Market Meltdown D. Chronic Mental Disorders 答案： CBAB The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken mainly by banning tiger-shooting to protect those animals whic
31、h still survive. Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals. I believe the main reason why the mode
32、rn hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauty of the wild countryside. There ar
33、e also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the nee
34、d to strengthen your high opinion of yourself. The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote: “You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it clearly and on the animals own territory. You must fix forever in your mind all the
35、 wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killingnot if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memo
36、ries, not if you kill to feed your people.” I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunter
37、s fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits. 59. There is no more hunting in India now partly because _. A. it is dangerous to hunt there B. hunting is already out of date C. hunters want to protect animals D. there are
38、 few animals left to hunt 60. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly _. A. to make the countryside safe B. to earn people s admiration C. to gain power and influence D. to improve their health 61. What do we learn about the big-game hunters A. They hunt old animals. B. They mistreat animals. C
39、. They hunt for food. D. They hunt for money. 62. What is the authors view on the tiger-shoots he has seen A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face. B.

40、ut their safety first. 答案： DBCA Warning: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may damage her emotional health in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents a
41、nd early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in destructive relationships as adults. The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby.
42、 She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience, composition and love. The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who
43、 had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive femal
44、e characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero. Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents behaviors,” she said. “Ove
45、rexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a w
46、hite horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.” 55. The passage is especially intended for _.
