Unfortunately, the guy who was brought in to take Dons place wasnt much better. Well, then an astonishing thing happened.

19、 Rays department was working on a box design for a toy. A new employee named Jack was doing the artwork. He had designed something in bright red and blue.

The weeks later, 500,000 new brown and purple boxes arrived from the printing company. While Ray was leading a staff meeting, the boss came bursting in. “W

21、hats this?” he shouted, pointing to one of the new boxes. “You call this artwork? Look at these ridiculous colors! This is the ugliest box Ive seen.

It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that”, and it is even harder to say “I was wrong, and you are right about th

26、at.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me that he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons( in many countries, eggs are sold by the dozen

27、and are put in cartons). Then he related an incident and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing. I was about eight at that time. I went to the store with my mother to do some shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident to

28、ok place. There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons. The cartons were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of the piles of egg cartons. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off

29、the cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together, so I went to work. The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him i

30、t looked as though I was the one who just did it. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about that incident, it is plain that the manager did not.45. According to this passage, many people will ha

34、y human society. All the meaningful parts of culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. From the viewpoint, all human groups have a culture. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies. Culture is necessary for the survival and existen

35、ce of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel and do is learned through taking part in a social cultural system. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases. Heres one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the pr

36、ovince of Midnapore in India, the director of a childrens home was told by the local villagers that there were “ghost(鬼)” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a

37、group of wolves in the forest. They were the ghosts described by the local people. In this diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala(as the older child named) and Amana( the name of the younger child). Kamala was terrible being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulder. C

38、lose at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size. Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw milk and raw meat. Generally, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fo

39、urs, just like squirrels. Children learn human languages in the same way they learn other kinds of human behaviorby taking part in a cultural community.

D The newspaper seller was a clean, neat man, of about forty with a rather serious, unsmiling face. He didnt speak much to the customers or to h

44、is helpers, but when he did he spoke slowly and quietly, as if to himself. He believed in efficiency, not conversation. And this was how the office workers, rushing to catch their trains, preferred. It had been a good day. Lunch-time had been warm and sunny, and many people had bought magazines to r

45、ead outside with their sandwiches. Now it was cold and rainy, and people wanted an evening paper for cheerless journey ahead and a dull evening indoors.

Hed parked there for six months, pretending to be part of a heating firm working in the building. They would find out about

47、 him soon, and hed have to park in a garage again, which was annoying. Their charges were far too high. A couple of junior clerks, regular customers, happened to see him getting into his car. “Must be a lot of money in papers, eh?” one of them shouted. He just smiled coldly in reply, and went into t

48、he car, placing the bags of money on the floor. He thought about the clerk on the way home.
