The rings are far apart while the animal is young and growing quickly. _34_ get closer as growth slows. “It is _35_ (exact) these tight ring marks that we found in the fossil bones,” says Sander.

It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of E

20、urope has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities. www.ks5 高#考#资#源#网Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only amo

21、ng people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corn

22、er, and no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly un

23、derstood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspected.In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gesture. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman f

24、eels no less deeply than anyone of a different nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her state “Oh, she is a goddess”, whereas an Englishm

25、an might just say “Oh, shes all right.” An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “Its not bad you know”, or on seeing some very unusual scenery he might convey (表达) his pleasure by saying, “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor

26、must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that “all right,” “not bad,” and “nice,” very often have the sense of “first-class,” “excellent,” “beautiful”. This unique style of language use is particularly common in England, and is known as res

27、trained statement.41. According to the passage, the English are different from other nationalities in _. A. habits B. attitudes C. character D. all of the above42.

A. talk with others as much as possible B. behave just like the English doC. say nothing about yourself D. shake hands with everyone you meet 44. If an Englishman says “all right”, it may

29、 mean “_”. A. not bad B. correct C. quite right D. wonderful45. From the passage, we can infer that an Englishman _. A. doesnt like to show his feelings so muchB. has less emotion than people of other nationalitiesC. finds it easy to express his emotion D. likes to have a joke with strangers(B)Most

30、dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners.

46、hat attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual. The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously infl

47、uenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages ones husband or wife to express his or her own ideasall are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired（获得） throughout life from situat

48、ions one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a h

49、urry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice, But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by a

50、n attitude. Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individuals experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acqu

51、ires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them, And frequently, they are learned by copying other peoples behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there i
