But it used also to be widely believed that effective reward, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological(生理)"drives" as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink of some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.·According to recent, there have occurred...例文According to a Worldwide Wildlife Fund report, by 1970, only about 4,500 tigers survived throughout the world-half of them in India.· 就……来说例文In the case of man, the difficulties with the environmental concept are even more complicated because we have to deal with man as an animal and with man as a bearer of culture.·Researchers havethat...例文Researchers have established that when people are mentally engaged, biochemical changes occur in the brain that allow it to act more effectively in cognitive areas such as attention and memory. This is true regardless of age.·It has beenthat...人们发现,据报道,据估计例文It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby's intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too,that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire.· 常言道……中国有句古话……许多人常提出这个问题…… 据我所知……··themade in, but...remain例文We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a person's knowledge and ability remain asprimitive as ever they were. Itis extraordinary that after all these years, educationists have still failed to devise anything more efficient and reliable than examinations.· “...” suchas this·“...”That's how one ...例文"All I have learnt in college is junk." -- That's how one college graduate described his frustration in looking for a job. He is hardly alone in the experience. Actually there are thousands of college graduates who complain that the degree they took away can't help them to secure a rewarding job, and the knowledge they acquired in class can't be transformed into useful job skills. · “Why ...?”Many people often the question like this例文"Why does the idea of progress loom so large in the modern world?"Many people often ask the question like this. Surely it is because progress of a particular kind is actually taking place around us and is becoming more and more manifest. Although mankindhas undergone no generalimprovement in morality, it has made extraordinary progress in knowledge and technology.·,theof...·One of the many people about now is ...例文One of the most popular topics many city residents talk about now is the tide of the rural poor flooding the cities. They complain that the migrants have brought crime and prostitution, that they are putting pressure on population control and social order: that they are threatening to take already scarce city jobs and exacerbating housing shortages; and that they have worsened traffic and sanitation problems. True, these are the problems posed by the migration, but what about the contribution the rural workers have made to the city's development and prosperity?·One of theourtoday is ...例文One of the basic questions facing our society today is: What promise or threat does new technology hold for our global future? Since the decision our society makes about technological development will undoubtedly have tremendous consequences in the years to come it is urgently necessary to explore this question, especially by examining science and technology in their relationship to the development of humanity.·There is athe problem of .... Those who ...that...·, the mostfor ouris theof ... which is in...例文perhaps most dangerous for our nation now is the official corruption which is rampant in nearly every fieldof our society.

Traditional weddings seem to be making a comeback, for example. But this is only a partial, not acomplete, reversal.·One maytheto...·These factors, coupled with theof…...·factors...例文Two factorsweigh heavily against the effectiveness of scientific research in industry. One is the general atmosphere of secrecy in which it is carried out, the other the lack of freedom of the individual research worker. Inso far as any study is a secret one, it naturally limits all those engaged in carrying it out with effective contact with their fellow scientists.·Recently the ... hasworld-wide attention/concern Recently, the alarm about the problem of the use of genetic technologies on human beings have caused wide public concern, and understandably so.

But people who..., on the other hand,that...例文There is much discussion today about whether fast economic growth is desirable. Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, and the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment. People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people.·To this point, let us·There is/ are例文There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?·It is athat ... .It is for ... to ...例文It's very interesting to note where the debate about diversity is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative.·例文Many authors have argued for the inevitability of war from the premise. that in the struggle for existence among animal species, only the fittest survive.

Therefore, the two-day weekend can bring nothing useful to them.·Thethisinvolves, ......例文(a)The factors for a big rise in the teenage smoking are complex. Some attribute it to the increased standard of living which enables kids to have more pocket money than ever before. others place the blame on the neglectful parents who tolerate and sometimes even encourage their kids smoking. Still others complain of the sharp increase in cigarette advertising and tobacco imports which give young people easy access to Marlboro, Kent and Parliament. Whatever the causes, only particular external.例文(b)The advantage of the education system in Japan is that students there learn the social skill of cooperation. Another advantage is that they learn much more math and science than most American students. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than their North American counterparts do. The system is demanding, but it prepares children for a society that values discipline and self-control. There are, however, disadvantages. For one thing, many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information they memorized. For another, the extremely demanding system puts enormous psychological pressure on students, and is considered a primary factor in the high suicide rate among Japanese school-age children..Why is...?例文Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country.

Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocket book ...

Statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.·可是,然而例文After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself.

We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness. But he was never called to give evidence. My 'trial' didn't get that far.

The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police.·如果……·……很有可能例文Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty.·The the fact that ...例文The increase in social costs (e.g. environmental pollution, unemployment and unplanned urbanization) mainly results from the failure of people to include these variables in their calculations of cost efficiency.
