Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young childor even an animal, such as a pigeonca
30、n learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human person
31、ality is very complex. But describing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what is “a nice face“ looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person“, you might begin to t
32、hink about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels, acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in peoples behavior. And many of us use this informatio
33、n as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military typespeople are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type“ each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains (坏人) or the hero s role. I
34、n fact the words “person“ and “personality“ come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask“. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guy from the bad guy because the two types differ in appearances as well as in actions.41 By using the example of finger
35、prints, the author tells us that_.（A）people can learn to recognize faces（B） people have different personalities（C） people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints（D）people differ from each other in facial features42 According to this passage, some animals have the gift of_.（A）telli

Howev
39、er, in primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange, and v
40、arious money systems developed based on goods that the members of society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, salt, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into la
41、rger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears lettering, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are
42、 based on face valuethe value that the governments choose to give them, which doesnt show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, plastic and in China even from tea leaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really “promises to pay“
43、. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where “money“ in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many pl
44、aces, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.46 “Baiter“ (Paragraph 1) here means_.（A）exchanging goods for money（B） exchanging goods for goods（C） exchanging a sheep for anything in the market（D）exchanging money for goods47 Why were precious metals gradually us

46、teenth and nineteenth centuries（C） during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries（D）between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries49 “Promises to pay“ (Paragraph 2) means_.（A）possibilities to pay（B） necessities to pay（C） obligations to pay（D）opportunities to pay50 A world without any money in the f
