Sociologists（社会学家） and psychologists（心理学家） are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that t

17、he behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly （显然地）change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and sign

But people in the Australian outback cant get to a doctor quickly. The neares

30、t doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the “flying doctor”. He visits sick people by plane. When someone is very sick, the doctor has to fly to the persons home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the p

31、ersons house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year. However, most of the time the person isnt very sick, and the doctor doesnt have to visit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center.

32、 He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube （管子） and packet （包） in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this,“take two tablets （药片） from bottle 5 every four hour

36、 world boys and girls are learning foreign languages. Many grown-ups are doing so in their spare time. Everybody knows his own language, but to know another is very useful.Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember what we all learnt our own language well when we were children. If

37、 we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a child does. It listens to what people say and it tries to imitate(模仿) what it heard. When it wants something, it has to ask for it. It is using the language. It is talking in it and thinking in it all

38、the time, they would learn it quickly.It is important to remember, also, that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear. In school, though you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all new words thr

39、ough the ear. Of course, you must listen to them, spell them, and write them, too.There is no easy way to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize（记住） rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists or words and the

40、ir meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are satisfied with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. “Learning through practice” is a piece of good advice for those who are learning a new language. Practice is important

44、 good memory is everything” is a piece of good advice for language learning.DIt is not much use studying the dictionary.E When a friend is sad about a tragedy, its hard to know how to comfort him/her.

This helps us decide what to wear. 76 we want our food to be a certa

53、in coldness in the refrigerator( 冰箱 ). We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we dont feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system called the Fahrenh

54、eit scale(华氏温度计), but most other countries use the centigrade scale(摄氏温度计).Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. 77 The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水银) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury ( or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts. That is why on got days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. 78 First, take
