19、o their waiter. as i paid my bill, i inquired as to what their bill was. he informed me, and i gave him $40 to pay their bill. he asked if i knew them and i told him no, i just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other, and then i departed. the next day i entered the res

20、taurant to dine before my departure. after i had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after i left the restaurant. when the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were informed that it had been paid. when they inquired who had done

21、 this, the hostess told them they had no idea who i was, just retelling what i said. the couple were amazed. they looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and departed, saying love begets love, to the amazement of the hostess and waiter. i smil

22、ed and said, “thats nice,” and proceeded to order my meal. about 45 minutes later, i finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. i waited and waited and finally walked over to the hostess and explained that i needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport.

23、she smiled and explained that i would not have to pay for my meal, because both the waiter and she felt compelled to pay my bill due to the joy that was brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples. when i told her that they didnt have to do that, she said with a

24、 smile, “love begets love.”36. the writers purpose of writing the passage is to _. a. suggest love never dies b. share an interesting experiencec. encourage us to help people in need d. prove a show of love really makes a difference37. why did the elderly couple pay the bill of the two young couples

30、ion: would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? few us universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.i doubt that mainstream north american colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum (课程) any time soon. for one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified

31、students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. in addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are selective are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits

32、. professors will resist “diluting (稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.in my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. a college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields

33、outside their major. it is not a good idea to water down education, any more than its not a good idea to water down medicine. if we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. we should

34、allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. we should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at northeastern university. 41. which of the following can be the best titl

35、e?a. its time to shorten the learning process b. best college education takes place over timec. university education should be watered down d. college education calls for reform42. we can learn from the passage that _.a. most american universities are against the “three-year degree” modelb. many fam

47、main purpose of the passage? a. to provide travel information. b. to report some recent news.c. to teach tourists hiking skills. d. to introduce the wildlife.ddoctors have long known that men and women experience their blues differently. yet when doctors designed the guidebook they use to diagnose (

48、诊断) psychiatric diseases, they made the descriptions gender-neutral. today, evidence is mounting that in turning a blind eye to gender, they are actually doing their patients a disservice. as more researchers investigate sex differences in depression, the inescapable conclusion is that gender influe

49、nces every aspect of these disorders. more recently, researchers have started to study the deeper differences. perhaps the most important of these, and the one most frequently misunderstood by people of both genders, is the difference in symptoms expressed by women and men. for women, the primary em

50、otion of depression is usually sadness. for men, it is more typically anger or irritability, often coupled with recklessness (不顾一切). as a result, many women and men, including depressed men, mistake male depression for general frustration and restlessness rather than a serious disorder. depressed me

51、n are also much less likely to seek help than depressed women, and they are much more likely to hurt themselves. the big question is whether the differences are a matter of nature or nurture (后天养育). some researchers believe the brain chemistry of depression is the same in men and women but that soci

52、al standards do not let men express sadness, so they often have difficulty clearly expressing their symptoms. “theyll say, im not getting as much done, or i keep getting into fights with my girlfriend, rather than im sad,” says sam cochran, director of counseling at the university of iowa. “but once

53、 we get past that, the symptoms are pretty much the same as for the female patients.” cochran and others who emphasize the importance of cultural influences are increasingly in the minority. an ever growing body of evidence suggests that biology sets men and women apart in ways that have real conseq

54、uences for mood and behavior. not surprisingly, these differences emerge from the very substances that define gender in the first place: sex hormones (激素). understanding the effects of these hormones on the brain may be the only way to make sure that every depressed patient gets the right treatment.

55、 the biochemistry of sex hormones in the brain, however, is difficult to study because the hormones themselves are hard to measure and their effects are so widespread. but the evidence is strong for a primary role in gross brain physiology. the male brain tends to be larger than the female brain and

56、 matures more slowly. 51. what did the author say of the action of describing the symptoms gender-neutral?a. it is quite reasonable for the clinicians to make it gender-neutral.b. clinicians are unaware of the different responses male and female make.c. doctors should have made the real conditions known to the public.d. it is better if patients could learn the truth from the researcher
