1Some people have it easy.When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple, direct answer.“I put out fires “ or “ I fix sick people “ or “ I teach primary school”.As a theoretical physicist, I never had this luck.Society has come to expect many things from physicists.It used to be that we only had to discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next silicon Valley(硅谷).With these expectations we were fairly comfortable.They are the sorts of things we think we know how to do.What makes us uncomfortable---and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what we’re up to---is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on questions such as “ What is the nature of
Reality?”
We now deal with a whole new cla of problems.We ask how the world began and what is the nature of the matter.The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person.So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impoible for ordinary people to understand.1.According to the paage, in a way physicists are ___.A.intelligentB.comfortableC.strangeD.unlucky

2Advertising
In the United States, advertising itself is a big busine.Millions and millions of dollars are spent on television, radio, and printed meages to prospective consumers.Advertising firms do “market research” for their clients, testing out various “pitches” in the quest for ones that are effective.From the viewpoint of American consumers, advertising functions to inform them about available products and services, as well as to encourage them to buy.From the viewpoint of visitors from abroad, though, advertising serves and additional function, and it affords countle insights into American values, tastes and standards.From American advertising, foreign visitors can gain some understanding of these and other aspects of American society: American ideas about physical attractivene in males and females, American ideas concerning personal hygiene, the emphasis Americans place on sex, speed and technical sophistication, the amount of faith Americans have in arguments that include specific numbers, materialism in American society,male-female relationships, both pre-and post-material, the attention Americans pay to the words of celebrities, the characteristics of people who, in Americans’ eyes, are considered “authorities”, whose ideas and recommendations are persuasive, and the sorts of things Americans find humorous.By comparing advertising they see in the States to what they have seen at home, foreign visitors can gain understanding not just of American society, but of their own as well.Pricing
With few exceptions, Americans are accustomed to fixed prices on merchandise they buy and sell.The usual exceptions are houses, automobiles, and something major appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.Another exception is a private sales.Americans are not accustomed to bargaining over prices, and in fact usually feel quite uncomfortable with the idea.Foreign visitors must realize that the price marked on an item does not include the sales tax that is added as part of the payment.(Sales tax rates vary from one jurisdiction to another.)
Americans do not believe, as people from many cultures do, that a commercial transaction includes particular attention to the human relationships involved.They look for the item they want, decide whether they can afford the price marked on it, and, if they want to buy it, find a clerk or salesperson to take the money or do the paperwork for a credit-card purchase.People who try to bargain for a lower price in a shop or store are likely to be considered either quite odd or startlingly aggreive.1.Which of the following functions does advertising in the U.S.serve?
A.Advertising offers the consumers information about products and services and persuades them to buy.B.Advertising acquaints foreign visitors with American marketing strategy.C.Advertising tells people how to establish male-female relationships.D.Advertising tells people how to be attractive physically.2.Which of the following is true of American advertising?

3Humans are social animals.They depend on groups for survival.An individual human being lost in a wilderne is capable of doing many things.But he or she will probably be thinking constantly about how much better it would be if there were other people around to talk to and to help.Because humans like to live and work in groups, they come form couples and families;villages and cities;work groups, teams, and other organizations.Language is the “cement” that holds these social groups together.Through language we can share ideas and experiences.The human mouth and throat are so constructed that we can utter a variety of sounds.Language is the device for matching certain combinations of sounds with the symbols for things, ideas, and emotions.Our brains think in symbols----words and sentences-----as well as in the images that we receive from our sense.Thus we can turn experiences into symbols and communicate to other people through the use of language.Any one individual, therefore, can learn much more from others than he or she can discover alone.Language enables people to pa ideas from group to group and from generation to generation.Language is part of culture.Culture, in this sense, means all those customs, skills, and attitudes that are part of behavior of a particular group.The way you live, what you think, and what you want in life are all affected by the culture of the group in which you are raised.Groups of people live in different ways.They may have different skills, organizations, and art forms.Their family life may be completely different from yours.Human beings are inventive animals.They can even decide to change their cultures in order to meet new situations.They can choose to live in many environments and in a wide variety of ways.Of all living things, only human beings can choose where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help them realize these choices.Acquiring the wisdom to make wise choices is the enduring challenge of being human.1.An individual human being lost in a wildne____
