28、g wolves to Yellowstone _54_ controversial (有争议的).

29、one. The wolves have flourished (兴旺), _58_ to about 120 last winter. Yellowstone is some of the _59_ wolf habitat (栖息地) in the world, says Smith, _60_ because it has the largest number of deer. The rest of the 17 million-acre ecosystem(生态系统) has flourished too. Wolves have developed biodiversity(多样性

30、) in and around Yellowstone: _61_ , there are fewer deer and coyotes(土狼), and more eagles(鹰), foxes and wolverines.

34、 agree that this is a good idea. One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just

35、the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them people-literate. David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. Thi

36、s frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on with experts to encourage themand answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do, they find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computer

37、s, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People dont have to learn computer terms, but the experts have to explain in plain language. Thecomputers are becoming people-literate.65. Which of the following is David Tebbutts idea on the relationship between people and computers? A. Com

38、puter learning should be made easier. B. There should be more computer clubs for experts. C. People should work harder to master computer use. D.

39、_. A. being able to afford a computer B. being able to write computer programs C. working with the computer and finding out its value D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it67.

41、ularizing computers (B) The eyes are one of the most revealing instruments of body language. Keith, seventeen, from Montclair, New Jersey, learned the hard way about one message the eyes can convey. I had a teacher who graded heavily on classroom discussion, Keith says. He seemed to have a strong ab

42、ility to know just when I didnt have the answer. I couldnt figure out how he could be so sharp. Then it dawned on me. Whenever I didnt know the answer, I would avoid looking at him. When I did know what to say, I always stared straight back at him. From that moment on, I taught myself to look him in

43、 the eye, whether I knew the work or not. That trick has saved me a lot of trouble. Many people, including some policemen, believe eye contact is a good test of honesty. If someone cant look you dead in the eye, then he or she is not playing straight, they insist. Alter many experiments, however, a

44、number of experts have concluded that good liars can fake eye contact. Eye contact, although not a sure sign of honesty, is a clear way to show interest in another person. When a person looks at you and continues to do so, you know his attention is focused on you. When he turns his head away, his mi

45、nd is probably elsewhere. But there are exceptions. A shy person may have trouble making and maintaining eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person. And certain nationalities, such as the British and the Germans, are much less oriented to eyeball-to-eyeball contact than, say, th

46、e French and the Arabs.69. According to the first paragraph, the eyes _. A. are a most important means of body language B. can make known ones personal qualities C. never convey false messages D. open wide when people dont want to tell a lie70.

One may get some false message from eye contact. B. If one fixes his eyes on you, he may be interested

48、in you. C. A good liar likes to avoid looking the policemen in the eye.D. A Frenchman is more likely to keep an eye contact than a German. (c) Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when youre doing your holiday shopping online, make sure youre holding a large glas

49、s of iced tea. The physical sensation of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions - those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research bypsychologist John A. Bargh. Psychologists have known that one persons perception (感知)

50、of anothers warmth is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either warm or cold is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a cold person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies conceptual s

51、ense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth mother rather than one made of wire, even when the wire mother carried a food bottle. Harlows work and later

52、 studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills. Feelings of warmth and coldness in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as warm or cold is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries. To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college s
