20、e time. 二、 Part Reading Comperhension 45 The component of the healthy personality that is the first to develop is the sense of trust. As with other personality components, the sense of trust is not something that develops independent of other manifestations of growth. It is not that infants learn ho
21、w to use their bodies for purposeful movement, learn to recognize people and objects around them, and also develop a sense of trust. Rather, the concept “sense of trust“is a shortcut expression intended to convey the characteristic flavor of all the childs satisfying experiences at this early age. S
22、tudies of mentally ill individuals and observations of infants who have been grossly deprived of affection suggest that trust is an early-formed and important element in the healthy personality. Psychiatrists find again and again that the most serious illnesses occur in patients who have been sorely
23、 neglected or abused or otherwise deprived of love in infancy. Observations of infants brought up in emotionally unfavorable institutions or moved to hospitals with inadequate facilities for psychological care support these findings. A recent report says that “ Infants under 5 months of age who have
24、 been in an institution for some time present a well-defined picture. The outstanding features are listlessness, relative immobility, quietness, poor sleep, an appearance of unhappiness, etc.“ Another investigation of children separated from their mothers at 6 to 12 months and not provided with an a
25、dequate substitute comes to much the same conclusion. Most significant for our present point, these reactions are most likely to occur in children who, up to the time of separation at 6 to 9 months of age, had a happy relation with their mothers, while those whose relations were unhappy are relative
26、ly unaffected. It is at about this age that the struggle between trusting and mistrusting the world comes to a climax, for it is then that children first perceive clearly that they and their environment are things apart. That at this point formerly happy infants should react so badly to separation s
27、uggests, indeed, that they had a faith that now has been shattered. In most primitive societies and in some sections of our own society, the attention accorded infants is more in line with natural processes. Throughout infancy the baby is surrounded by people who are ready to feed it, fondle it, and
28、 otherwise comfort it at a moments notice. Moreover, these ministrations are given spontaneously and wholeheartedly, and without that element of nervous concern that may characterize the efforts of young mothers made self-conscious and insecure by our scientific age. We must not exaggerate, however.
29、 Most infants in our society too find smiles and comfort. As their own bodies come to be more dependable, there is added to the pleasures of increasing sensory response and motor control the pleasure of the mothers encouragement. Then, too, psychologists tell us that mothers create a sense of trust
30、in their children not by the particular techniques they employ but by the sensitiveness with which they respond to the childrens needs and by their overall attitude. 46 The sense of trust in an infant is under development when the infant experiences some_. 47 The author raises evidence of mental ill
31、ness and other disorders in children to support the point that trust is_element of a healthy personality. 48 The climax in the development of a sense of trust occurs when a child perceives that he or she is_. 49 A possible reason that a child having an unhappy relation with his/her mother will_by ma
32、ternal separation at 6 to 9 months is that no sense of trust has ever developed. 50 According to this passage, the most important factor in developing_is the combined effect of natural feeling and cultural attitudes. 50 The cost of staging the year 2000 Olympics in Sydney is estimated to be a stagge
33、ring $ 960 million, but the city is preparing to reap the financial benefits that ensue from holding such an international event by emulating the commercial success of Los Angeles, the only city yet to have made a demonstrable profit from the Games in 1984. At precisely 4:20 a. m. on Friday the 24th
34、 of September 1993, it was announced that Sydney had beaten five other competing cities around the world, and Australians everywhere, not only Sydneysiders, were justifiably proud of the result. But, if Sydney had lost the bid, would the taxpayers of NSW and of Australia have approved of governments
35、 spending millions of dollars in a failed and costly exercise? There may have been some consolation in the fact that the bid came in 1 million below the revised budget and 55 million below the original budget of 529 million formulated in mid-1991. However, the final cost was the considerable sum of
36、$ 24 million, the bulk of which was paid for by corporate and community contributions, merchandising, licensing, and the proceeds of lotteries, with the NSW Government, which had originally been willing to spend up to $ 10 million, contributing some $ 2 million. The Federal Governments grant of $ 5
37、million meant, in effect, that the Sydney bid was financed by every Australian taxpayer. Prior to the announcement of the winning city, there was considerable debate about the wisdom of taking financial risks of this kind at a time of economic recession. Others argued that 70 percent of the faciliti
38、es were already in place, and all were on government-owned land, removing some potential areas of conflict which troubled previous Olympic bidders. The former NSW Premier, Mr. Nick Greiner, went on record as saying that the advantage of having the Games. “is not that you are going to have 5 V. 4 bil
39、lion in extra gross domestic product over the next 14 years. I think the real point of the Games is the psychological change, the catalyst of confidence. apart from the other more obvious reasons, such as the building of sporting facilities, tourism, and things of that nature. “ However, the dubious
40、ness of the benefits that Melbourne, an unsuccessful bidder for the 1988 Olympic Games, received at a time when the State of Victoria was still in economic turmoil meant many corporate bodies were unenthusiastic. There is no doubt that Sydneys seductive physical charms caused the worlds media to com
41、pare the city favorably to its rivals Beijing, Berlin, Manchester, and Istanbul. Mr. Godfrey Santer, the Australian Tourist Commissions Manager of Corporate Planning Services, stated that soon after the bid was made, intense media focus was already having a beneficial effect on in-bound tourism. Dev
42、elopers and those responsible for community development projects eagerly pointed to the improvements taking place to the existing infrastructure of the city, the creation of employment, and especially the building of sporting facilities, all of which meet the needs of the community and help to attra
43、ct more tourists. At Homebush Bay 5300 million was spent providing the twin athletic arenas and the “high-tech“Aquatic Centre. However, perhaps the most impressive legacy was the new attitude shown towards both industrial relations and environmental problems. The high-profile nature of the bid: and
44、the perception that it must proceed smoothly created a unique attitude of co-operation between the workforce and employers involved in the construction of the Olympic Village at Homebush Bay. The improvements included the lack of strikes, the breaking down of demarkation barriers, and the completion
45、 of projects within budget and ahead of time. 51 Which city is the only one yet to have made a demonstrable profit from the Olympic Games in 1984? 52 According to the second paragraph, who financed the Sydney bid? 53 When was the bid for the Games made? 54 According to the third paragraph, why the p
46、otential for conflict was less? 55 Not long after the bid for the Games was made, which industry benefited from the result? 55 Historically, dictionaries have been thought of as dull and mechanical which is perhaps why many teachers are reluctant to exploit them in their classes. But these books hav
47、e come a long way in recent years. This passage is about how learners dictionaries can be a stimulating source of activities. You know that guilty feeling your students could really benefit from the excellent learners dictionaries now available, but somehow you cant find the time to check on their r
48、eference skills. I cant count the number of times teachers have said to me, “ In theory, we do dictionary skills lessons every term, but actually it often seems to go by the board. Perhaps thats partly because dictionary activities used to be rather dull and mechanical. So did the dictionaries. In t
49、he old days, they were impenetrable books, full of complicated definitions and rather artificial, made-up examples, which didnt really help the student find out what the word meant or when and how it should be used. Its no wonder that language learners were less than enthusiastic about dictionary work. But things have come long way since then. Dictionaries the
