7、 through the center.10 Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England.“One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just t
8、o make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. “Ten men, Smith said, in
9、this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins a worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient wa
10、y of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labo
11、r adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.11 According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to _.（A）take advantage of the physical labor（B） introduce the division of labor into England（C） understand the effects of the division of labor（D）explain
12、the bad causes of the division of labor12 Adam Smith saw that the division of labor _.（A）enabled each worker to design pins more quickly（B） increased the possible output per worker（C） increased the number of people employed in factories（D）improved the quality of pins produced13 Adam Smith mentioned
13、the number 4800 in order to _.（A）show the advantages of the old labor system（B） stress how powerful the individual worker was（C） show the advantages of the division of labor（D）stress the importance of increased production14 According to the writer, Adam Smiths mistake was in believing that the divis
14、ion of labor _.（A）was an efficient way of organizing work（B） was an important development in methods of production（C） finally led to economic development（D）increased the production of existing goods15 According to the writer, which one of the following is NOT true?（A）Division of labor can enable few
15、er people to make more pins.（B） Division of labor helps people to produce more of what they already have.（C） Division of labor is responsible for economic growth.（D）Division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work.15 When I was walking down the street the other day, I happened to notice a sm
16、all brown leather wallet lying on the sidewalk. I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owners name. There was nothing inside it except some change and an old photographa picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old, who looked like the womans daughter. I put the ph
17、otograph back and took the wallet to the police station, where I handed it to the desk sergeant. Before I left, the sergeant took down my name and address in case the owner might want to write and thank me.That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also invited a young woman
18、 so that there would be four people at the table. Her face was familiar. I was quite sure that we had not met before, but I couldnt remember where I had seen her. In the course of conversation, however, the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I re
19、alized where i had seen her. She was the young girl in the photograph, although she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I was able to describe her wallet to her. Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in the wallet. My uncle insisted on goi
20、ng to the police station immediately to claim the wallet. As the police sergeant handed it over, he said that it was amazing that I had not only found the wallet, but also the person who had lost it.16 The wallet which the writer found _.（A）was empty（B） had some money in it（C） had a few coins and a
21、photograph in it（D）had an old photograph in it17 The writer opened the wallet because he wanted to _ in it.（A）find some money（B） find some gold（C） find the owners name（D）find the owners photograph18 The writer recognized the young woman because _.（A）he had met her somewhere before（B） she was the old
22、 woman in the photograph（C） she often had dinner with his aunt and uncle（D）she looked like the young girl in the photograph19 The young woman told of her loss of the wallet _.（A）at the beginning of the dinner（B） during the conversation（C） as soon as she saw the writer（D）after the dinner20 The story
23、was amazing because _.（A）the writer found both the wallet and its owner（B） the finder and the loser of the wallet were old friends（C） the finder and the loser of the wallet met at the police station（D）the woman knew the writer and his uncle20 Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful th
24、ings that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fir
25、e that had burn it before. A really fearless soldierand some do existis not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ough
26、t to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: an airplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some
27、 of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take. In many cases, you can take quick and succ
28、essful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing onto
29、your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.21 Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if _.（A）they we
30、re given no warning beforehand（B） they had never burnt themselves（C） they had no sense of pain（D）they were fearful of the fire22 A really fearless soldier _.（A）is of little use to the army（B） is without equal（C） is nothing but a dead soldier（D）easily gets killed in a battle23 Fear should be used pro
31、perly because _.（A）an airplane may crash on your house（B） you may get cancer（C） fear can only be used as a servant and guide（D）men are now letting fear rule them too much24 People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _.（A）they have gained experience（B） they jump out of the way in time
32、（C） they are calm in face of danger（D）they are warned of the danger and can take quick action25 Implied but not stated: _.（A）Fear is always something helpful（B） Too much fear is harmful（C） Fear ought to be used as a servant and guide（D）Fear is something unprofitable25 WHAT IS ONEXHIBITIONSOil Painti
