30、eer opportunities that interest you. B. Develop your personal skills and confidence. C. Respect other volunteers in your community. D. Make friends with more volunteers. C Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over
31、the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which are different from other cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time. Time is not very important in nonindustrial (非工业的) societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not
32、 even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract (抽象的) thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule (时间 表) based on the clock. They cook and
33、eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure (测量) time not by a clock or calendar, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society meas
34、ures days in terms of “sleeps“ or longer periods in terms of moons“. Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration (迁移) of certain animals. Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of“telli
35、ng time“. For example, when several Australian aborigines(土著居民) want to plan an event for a future tine one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree .Each day the angle (角度) of the sun changes slightly .In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, th
36、e people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place. In contrast (成对比) exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies .This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a fa
37、ctory to work efficiently (well, quickly and without waste), for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive
38、or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated (复杂的)societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according, to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could
39、 hardly work all. 38. By saying “Humans are social animals“, the author means_ A. they live all over the world B. they are different from other animals C. they live in one area as a whole D. they are divided into many groups 39. Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies because people A.
40、 dont have the word TIME in their languages B. dont get used to using clocks and other timepieces C. dont measure time in their daily-lives around an exact time schedule D. dont need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule 40. The Australian aborigines way of “telling time“ is based
41、on A. the change of the angle of the sun B. the change of the weather C. the position of the stone D. the position of the tree or the cliff 41. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage? A. Time and Culture B. The Measurement of Time C. Time Schedule and Daily Life D. Clock, Ca
42、lendar and Society D Buck did not read the newspapers. So he did not know that there was trouble ahead. Trouble for every dog with strong muscles and warm long hair, from Seattle to southern California. Some men had found a yellow metal in the Arctic darkness, and thousands of other men were rushing
43、 there.Those men wanted dogs that were heavy, with strong muscles for working hard and furry coats to protect them from the cold. Buck lived at a big house in a sunny valley in California which was owned by Judge Miller.And Buck ruled over it all. He was born there, and had lived there for the four
44、years of his life. There were many other dogs, but they lived together in the Kennels (狗窝), or inside the house. But Buck was neither a house dog nor a kennel dog. The whole of Judge Millers lands was his. Buck was king-king over all the crawling, flying things of Judge Millers lands, humans include
45、d. His father, Elmo, a huge St Bernard, had been the judges inseparable (不可分离 的)companion. And when he died, Buck took his fathers place. He was not so large- he weighed only sixty kilograms -for his mother, Shen, had been a Scottish sheepdog. He had had a good life and he was proud of himself, for
46、he had not become a house dog. Hunting and other outdoor activities had hardened his muscles, and swimming had made him healthy. This was Buck in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike brought men from everywhere to the frozen north. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And
47、he did not know that Manuel, one of the gardeners helpers, was not a good guy. Manuel gambled (赌博) and wasted the little money he had. And one time when the judge was away on business, and his sons were busy with an athletics (竞技) club, Manuel did something terrible. No one saw him and Buck go off o
48、n what Buck thought was a walk. No one saw them arrive at the railway station, where Manuel sold Buck to a man who was waiting for him. Manuel put a rope round Bucks neck, under his collar. Buck accepted this because he knew Manuel, but when the rope was given to another man, he growled (发出低吠声) dangerously. And when the rope was tightened round neck, he started to choke (窒息) and jumped at the man in ange
