Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.One consequence of globalization is the increasing crash of old and new concepts. New ideas are always welcome and can often improve our lives but we must ensure they fit well into our 41 culture.One current debate that highlights this crash between old and new ideas is the issue of organ donations 42 untreatable car crashes.Currently in China it is assumed that 43 of untreatable car crashes would be unwillingto donate their organs to others. This has helped lead to a situation where over 1.5 million people need a transfer but only about 10,000 receive a new organ each year. In order to increase the number of organ donors, a new policy will require drivers to state whether they are willing to become organ donors or not.The 44 of asking drivers to be organ donors has shown to be successful. In America, the national average of organ donors is 38% but in Illinois where drivers are asked about organ donation the rate is 60%. Other western nations have also seen huge rises in the number of organ donors since asking drivers.However in China organ donation is a(n) 45 concept to many and crashes with some traditional ideas. Some have argued that the policy puts an evil eye on driving. Others have criticized the project because it predicts death. The strongest criticism has come from those who highlighted that it conflicts with traditional Chinese 46 which state how important it is for the body to be 47 unbroken.No one can deny the greater need for organ donation across the world and especially in China. However, a project that is forced on people, no matter how positive the aims are, will do more damage than good. Policy makers must go carefully and 48 in this area and ensure a system that is see-through and 49 by all.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Success often depends on your performance at an interview. For those who are well prepared, it can be a 50 experience but for others it can be a 51 time. Love them or hate them, though, your job prospects are largely dependent on your interview 52 . It’s not unusual for a company to have fifty or sixty applicants, for a job, so if you are asked to attend a(n) 53 , you are a serious competitor being seriously 54 for the post.Usually companies give you at least a day’s notice of an interview, so use that time to 55 yourself well. Read through the job description and any information sent to you, and prepare answers to as many questions as you can 56 .At an intervie w, try to present a ―57 ‖ version of yourself. You need to 58 the employer that you can do the job, 59 you mustn’t appear over-confident. Being pleasant, however, doesn’t mean that you should 60 with everything that the interviewer says. Most companies want to elect someone with his or her own 61 .It’s also important to make sure that you really listen to what is being asked. In your preparation you will have rehearsed answers to a number of imaginary questions; but you must 62 your response to suit the questions.It’s worthwhile spending a few moments after the interview 63 your performance.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Follow the following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels!Avoid ―Must thinking‖. Let’s go off the idea that you must do something in a certain way, for example, ―I must get a great score on a test‖, or else. This thought pattern only adds to the stress you’ll feel. Judge your situation calmly, and not as a ―life-or-death‖ situation. Watch the mess. Don’t study in a messy or crowded area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that’s free of distraction.Set Manageable Goals. Break large projects into smaller-and-practical-parts. You’ll feel a positive sense of achievement as you finish each part.Ocean Dumping. Imagine yourself walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a sand bucket. Stop at a good spot and put your worries into the bucket. Drop the bucket and watch as it floats away into the ocean.Think good thoughts. Make a set of good but brief affirmations and repeat them to yourself just before you fall asleep at night. You will feel much better in the morning. Imagine yourself succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real life situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same feelings of success.Use your bed for sleeping, not studying. Your mind may start to connect your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall asleep.Comforting Sounds. If you want to play music, keep it low in the background. Classical music especially, can help the learning process.Take a walk. Take a short, vigorous walk. Clear your mind.65. What is the best title of the passage?A. How to Reduce Your StressB. How to Set Manageable GoalsC. The Cause of StressD. The Study of the Human Mind66. The underlined words ―Ocean Dumping‖ mean that you should ______ , while you are introuble.A. walk on a beautiful beachB. drop your thoughts into the seaC. get rid of the worries of your problemD. not pay much attention to any of your feelings67.

From the passage we can learn ______.A. you can think clearly while you are in bedB. rock music can help the learning processC. thinking your real-life success will do you good while in troubleD. you must tr eat everything as a ―life-or-death‖ sit uation69. If you want to go out for lunch on Sunday, you can call up the number _____.A. 2785161 or 2706030B. 2706030 or 3562367C. 7364431 or 2785161D. 3562367 or 278516170. You do not have to pay on Mondays if you go to _____.A. Skyline HotelB. Lansdowne Park Shopping CenterC. New York MuseumD. Garden Restaurant71. If you want to enjoy yourself on Sunday morning, you can go to _____.A. 5300 No. 3 RoadB. Vanier Park, 1100 Chestnut StC. 9020 Bridgeport RoadD. 3031 No. 3 Road( C )The traditional distinction between products that satisfy needs and those satisfy wants is no longer adequate to describe classes of products. In today’s prosper ous societies, the distinction has become unclear because so many wants have been turned into needs. A writer, for instance, can work with paper and pencils. These are legal needs for the task. But the work can be done more quickly and efficiently with a word processor. Thus a computer is soon viewed as a need rather than a want.In the field of marketing, consumer goods are classed according to the way in which they are purchased. The two main classes are convenience goods and shopping goods. Two lesser types are specialty goods and unsought(主动提供的) goods. It must be emphasized that all of these types are based on the way shoppers think about products, not on the nature of the products themselves. What is regarded as a convenience item in France (wine, for example) should be a specialty goods in the United States.People do not spend a great deal of time shopping for such convenience items as groceries, newspapers, toothpaste, aspirin, and candy. The buying of convenience goods may be done routinely, as some families buy groceries once a week. Such regularly purchased items are called staples. Sometimes convenience products are bought without enough thinking; someone has a sudden desire for an ice cream sundae(圣代) on a hot day. Or they may be purchased as emergency items.Shopping goods are items for which customers search. They compare prices, quality, and styles, and may visit a number of stores before making a decision. Buying an automobile is often done this way.Shopping goods fall into two classes; those that are recognized as basically the same and those that are regarded as different. Items that are looked upon as basically the same include such things as home appliances, television sets, and automobiles. Having decided on the model desired, the customer is primarily interested in getting the item at the most favorable price. Items regarded as essentially different include clothing, furniture, and dishes. Quality, style and fashion will either take precedence(优先) over price, or they will not matter at all.72. It can be learned from the first paragraph that ______.A. a writer needs a word processorB. need s and wants can’t be separated clearlyC. the way to distinguish the products is unimportantD. a computer is a need rather than a want73. The example of wine is used to illustrate that ______.A. goods are classified differently in different countriesB. the types of the product lie on the people rather than its natureC. Frenchmen often drink but Americans sometimes doD. one product may belong to many types74. Staples are items that ______.A. are convenient to purchaseB. are purchased without enough thinkingC. people ―want but don’t need‖D. people are in constant need of75. Shopping goods that are considered as basically the same are those that ______.A. consumers don’t care where to buy themB. consumers spend much time searching forC. satisfy similar needs of the consumerD. can be found in nearly every shopSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76. Our space is beautiful. Looking out of the window of a space shuttle, you can see the stars more clearly than you can from Earth. It’s thrilling view. However, what’s out there can be dangerous too. And the dangerous things are often too small to see.77. Above Earth, where space shuttles orbit, there are thousands of chunks of space garbage. They are flying as spaceships, at about 17,000 miles per hour. Sometimes they hit spaceships. On one flight of the shuttle Columbia, the ship was hit 106 times. Most of those hits were not caused by rocks. They were caused by pieces of space garbage.A. Our space is beautiful but dangerous.B. There are different ways to deal with space garbage.C. NASA has come up with new plans for space junk.D. Space garbage sometimes hits spaceships.E. Small objects also lead to dangers in the space.F. Space garbage comes from satellites and rockets.78.What kinds of objects are floating in space today? Some are satellites that are no longer working. Others are pieces of rockets that exploded. The first explosion of a rocket in space took place in 1961. Since then, many others have occurred. An exploding rocket can send out hundreds of bits of metal.79.Space garbage also results from everyday events. Let’s say an astronaut walks outside a shuttle, taking pictures. What if he drops the camera lens cap? It becomes a piece of orbiting junk.A flying bolt may not sound like much. If it’s flying ten times as fast as a bullet, though, it can be pretty scary. Some space trash burns up by falling toward Earth. If it’s high up in space, though, it won’t fall to Earth. It will stay in orbit.80.What can be done about space trash? This may be one of the most important questions now facing NASA. One answer is to keep track of it. Radar can track a piece of space junk as small as a softball. Before launching a flight, NASA makes sure no other ships or satellites will be in the way. They could also make sure no large pieces of space junk were in the flight’s path. But what about smaller things? What about a piece of metal as small as a pebble? One solution is to invent armor for spaceships. Another is to leave less garbage up there.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Aware that the financial crisis could spread to other sections, the Fed has moved remarkably aggressively, cutting rates by 1.25 percentage points in eight days—a rate-cutting spree(无节制行为) almost unheard of in central banking history. The Fed now has cut rates five times by accumulative(累积的) 2.25 percentage points—and there is no sign that the Fed is done. Thanks to the strategies of Hank Paulson, George Bush soon will sign a bill that will pump some $150 billion into the American economy for U.S. consumers to spend. That kind of coordination(协调) between fiscal and monetary authorities is as exceptional as it is both swift and impressive.Sure, the Cassandras are disobeying the Fed’s actions. Bernanke has been criticized for everything from catering to Wall Street traders to still being behind the curve. But opinions are like a nose—everybody has one. The current noise of criticism against Bernanke is a lot like baseball fans, screaming ―throw the burn out‖at the game or letting out their depressions on post-game AM radio talk shows. But it’s a lot easier to criticize than to step up to home plate and swing the bat.The reality is that few of Bernanke’s most bitter critics were even smart enough to make it into an introductory economics class taught by Bernanke at Princeton—let alone to run the world’s most influential Central Bank. And to assume that Fed policy is based on responses to such criticism would be as ridiculous as for baseball star Alex Rodriguez to walk over and hand his bat to an unpleasant critic in the seats of Yankee Stadium to take his place at home plate. Thankfully, airline pilots guiding a plane through rough instability play to a less noisy crowd.Here’s the reality. Neither Bernanke’s interest rate cuts nor the federal stimulus package likely will hit the policy nail right on the head. But no real-time decision making is perfect. As John Maynard sKeynes, himself an academic with plenty of real world experience, observed: ―It’s better to be nearly right than exactly wrong.‖The Fed can’t stop a decline, but it can help it be short and shallow. This is a complex, fast-changing situation. Let’s give the Fed and the U.S. government some credit for acting swiftly and firmly.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS) 81.The Fed has cut its rates steeply in central banking history because it has recognized that _____________________________________________________________________________.82.With the help of Hank Paulson, George Bush agrees to give money to U.S. consumers tospend, which shows that the cooperation is unusually __________________________.83.The author’s opinion about Bernanke’s most rough critics is that they are ______ to run theworld’s most influential Central Bank.84.Since the situation is complex and fast-changing, what does the author approve?第II卷（共45分）I.

The polar ice caps are melting. One in eight bird species are extinct. Air, water, and ground pollutants are 41 major population centers…But according to a recently 42 book, there is “a secret plan to save the Earth.” This plan is being carried out by a group of “eco barons.”Who are “eco barons” then? They are a band of visionaries (有远见的⼈) — some of the world’s wealthiest businessmen —who are using their wealth, their energy, their fame, and their 43 of law and science to persuade the world to take a new 44 to save the Earth. These people, both men and women, are the modern-day heroic counterparts (同等分量的⼈) to the evil 19th century robber masters who 45 set the world on the path to environmental destruction.Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are among the eco businessmen. These two wise investors, who regularly exchange places at the top of Forbes magazine’s annual list of world billionaires, have spent some of their 46 power on different areas. Gates has long sponsored 47 fuels such as oil from algae (藻类), while in Buffet’s case, it’s wind power and electric cars. Douglas Tompkins, the founder of the North Face and Esprit clothing lines, has also embraced environmentalism. He was always an outdoor adventurer — he would 48 disappear for months-long trips to the forests of South America — so when he burned out in the business world, Tompkins took his fortune, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and began steadily buying acre after acre of 49 virgin forest in Chile. Tompkins and his wife have obtained more than two million acres for conservation in Chile.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I teach economics at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I 50 asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth 51 . The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.His question 52 me of something I’d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to 53 life that day,” I said. “I choose to be cheerful.”“Let me give you an example,” I continued, 54 all sixty students in the class. “In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I 55 the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t 56 . So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and 57 down the road to the college.”“As soon as I got there I called AAA（汽车协会）and asked them to 58 for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what has happened. ‘This is my lucky day,’ I replied, 59 .”“‘But your car breaks down’, she was 60 . ‘What do you mean?’”“‘I live 17 miles from here.’ I replied. ‘My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t. Instead, it broke down in the 61 place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to apply for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was 62 to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.’”“The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class.” So ended my story.I scanned the sixty faces in my 63 class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn’t the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a student’s 64 that I was cheerful.50. A. seriously B. cheerfully C. curiously D. coldly51. A. destroyed B. broken C. decayed D. removed52. A. reminded B. warned C. informed D. mentioned53. A. change B. insure C. start D. sacrifice54. A. addressing B. talking C. attracting D. speaking55.

A. recognition B. judgment C. observation D. absenceSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I made a pledge (发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought,“Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while thechildren flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with saddest expression.“What’s the matter?” I asked her.“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don’t?”“What do you mean?”“Well… that checkup I had several weeks ago… our doctor… did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me… am I dying?”It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”65. In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably mean ________.A. unnecessarilyB. unconditionallyC. impossiblyD. unexpectedly66. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.A. aloneB. with his familyC. with EvelynD. with his children67. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ________.A. she looked lovely in her new clothesB. she was seriously illC. he was determined to be a good husbandD. he had made a lot of money in Wall Street68. By saying “I’m just starting to live,” Tom means that ________.A. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife beforeB. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeC. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeD. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband(B)(Note: You may read the questions first.)Tsunami warning system is testedIf he, the founder of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, were alive, Thomas Jaggar would be proud of the U.S. tsunami warning system after Friday’s devastating earthquake in Japan sent a surge (⼤浪，汹涌) of ocean water dashing toward the West Coast.● WASHINGTON — So many people surged to the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centerwebsite that it slowed to a crawl early Friday, unable to provide critical information to the public about the coastal impact in the U.S. of a massive earthquake in Japan.McClatchy Washington Bureau — Mar 11 06:09 p.m.● CHICAGO — A tsunami warning has been issued for the central and northern California coast and Oregon, the National Weather Service announced early Friday.Chicago Tribune（论坛报）— Mar 11 06:07 a.m.● HONOLULU — A tsunami warning was issued late on Thursday for Hawaii after an 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck in the Pacific near Japan, prompting state civil defense officials to order all coastal areas evacuated（疏散） by 2 a.m. local time.

They have sounded every hour since 11:15 p.m.Alaska Tsunami Warning Center also issued a warning for much of the coasts of Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California. Reuters via Yahoo!

In which city did the news agency issue a tsunami affecting for some other places apart from Japan and Hawaii?A. LOMPOC.B. WELLINGTON.C. HONOLULU.D. WASHINGTON.(C)Retirement is frightening. It is a new, uncertain journey — at a time when peace in life is treasured. Personal financial security is a powerful motivator to keep control of the business. The inability to “let go” is even more difficult for those who founded their businesses at a time of unemployment or family poverty.For many who build successful enterprises, their business is their identity. It is said of one woman business owner, still in control in her 90s, that “work is her oxygen.” Some entrepreneurs（企业家） started their businesses at least in part to prove themselves to former bosses who had rejected or doubted them. We find that they cling to their creations more strongly than most.For these reasons and others, too many business founders refuse to retire. They insist that only they are capable of running the business. Jealousy or insecurities relating to declining power generate interpersonal conflicts that spoil succession (接替；继位) planning or even the performance of potential successors.If an executive has not quite achieved what he had hoped, he often wants the opportunity to stay in the game. Rather than a graceful transition, the succession process can become a war. The parties to such a combat, however, should remember Winston Churchill’s warning to the House of Commons: “If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.”Fortunately, many business owners manage to face succession planning — courageously, openly, and early. And because entrepreneurial succession is perhaps the most critical issue for family-business continuity, we’re keenly interested in the makeup and background of those who do.Our conclusion: It’s all a matter of outlook or attitude. Business owners who can plan succession and who can let go don’t come necessarily from larger or smaller businesses. They don’t come from businesses that are more or less fragile or that require more or less hands-on involvement. They don’t necessarily even have more or less qualified successors to whom they can turn over their creations. They just have a different outlook or attitude toward the subject. For them, the glass is half full, not half empty.72. The underlined expression “let go” means ________.A. to dismiss the successorB. to close the businessC. to explore another fieldD. to pass the business to the successor73. What makes some of the business owners willing to retire?A. Their family background.B. The scale of their business.C. Their attitude towards retirement.D. The ability of their successor.74. According to the passage, people with the sound attitude to retirement think that ________.A. old people are certain to restB. retirement means new opportunities and new lifeC. as business owners, they are most important to the businessD. their business was bought as part of management75. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is ________.A. to make clear the widespread beliefs held by those who cannot conclude succession planningB. to offer some practical tips to those who are not able to cope with fear of retirementC. to urge society and the individual to take retirement more seriouslyD. to illustrate the different attitudes toward retirement in different situationsSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Contract signed to experiment with captions (⽂字说明)B. People’s attitude toward captionsC. Captions — good news to deaf peopleD. Deaf people missing most of the funE. Invention of a new machine dealing with signalsF. Necessity of developing a new way of captioning76.By the 1950s many American families owned television sets. During television’s first 20 years, deaf people missed most of the fun. They could not hear what was being said and had to guess. Deaf people who watched television liked sports and action shows, but they were disappointed with other programs. If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers couldn’t follow the plot. Even the most skilled lip-readers could only catch part of the talking. This frustrated many deaf people.77.In the late 1960s, a man started experimenting. Malcom Norwood thought that deaf people could enjoy television programs, too. He wanted to develop captions for the programs. Norwood worked for the federal government’s Media Services and Captioned Films Division at the Bureau of Education of the Handicapped.78.Norwood surveyed many hearing Americans. He wanted to see how they felt about seeing captions on the television screen. Too many people were against the idea. Norwood realized he had to develop another way of captioning-one that would not bother hearing people.79.In October of 1971, Norwood’s office signed a contract with WGBH-TV, a public television station in Boston. WGBH was hired to experiment with captions. They agreed to make a captioned television program for Norwood. That program was made. It was shown on television and at a special convention. The type of captions made by WGBH could be seen on any television. No special equipment was needed. These were called “open captions”.80.Later, a new machine was invented. This device was made to send signals on a special part of the television picture. The signals could be captions. If a family had another kind of machine in their home or in their TV set, then the captions (or signals) would appear on their television screen. Without the machine, no captions would be seen. That special machine is called a decoder. It receives the signals transmitted from the television station. Captions that require a decoder are called “closed captions”.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in fewest possible words.In the house where I grew up, it was our custom to leave the front door on the latch at night. I don’t know if that was a local term or if it is universal; “on the latch” meant the door was closed but not locked. None of us carried keys; the last one in for the evening would close up, and that was it.Those days are over. In rural areas as well as in cities, doors do not stay unlocked, even for part of an evening.It is not uncommon, in most pleasant homes, to see on the windows small notices announcing that the building is closely monitored by this security force or that guard company.The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child’s bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods, but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life? Who is going to make the payment for the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock?For some reason we are satisfied when we think we are well-protected; it does not occur to us to ask ourselves: Why has this happened? Why are we having to defend ourselves against our neighbors and fellow citizens, and when, exactly, did this start to take over our lives?With all this “security”, we are perhaps the most insecure nation in the history of civilized man. What better word to describe the way in which we have been forced to live? What sadder reflection on all that we have become in this new and puzzling time?We trust no one. Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their station wagon key chains. We have become so smart about self-protection that, in the end, we have all outsmarted ourselves. We may have locked the evils out, but we have alsolocked ourselves in.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. In the author’s childhood, people were used to ________.82. What can be commonly seen on the windows of most pleasant homes?83. According to the author, what is the new environment of American life now?84. In the author’s mind, they feel that they are seemingly ________, but actually ________.第II卷（共45分）I.

Dating has changed greatly in recent years.According to traditional dating ways in the United States, much of the responsibility for a date falls on the young man. The young man must first call the girl he w 93 to date early in a week. Most girls in traditional dating relationships expect to get a telephone call f 94 a young man by Wednesday. Most dates take place on weekends. Fridays and Saturdays nights are p 95 for dates. The young man must ask the girl out and suggest the things that they might do.

Answer the question（根据短文内容回答下列问题）：（14分）Quite a few people believe that the phases of the moon（月相）affect the behavior of human and other creatures. That is known as the lunar effect（月相效应）. The lunar effect has been around for many centuries. The power of the moon is often used to explain a wide range of events, such as human insanity（精神错乱）, and increases in violent crimes（暴力犯罪）and traffic accidents. According to some traditions, for example, before the coming of modern techniques, surgeons（外科医生）would refuse to operate on the full moon nights because of the increased risk of death of the patient through blood loss. The idea behind the lunar effect ahs even found its way into the news. For example, it has been said that the full moon may have influenced voters’（选民）behavior in the 2000 U.S. presidential election（总统大选）.Does the moon affect our behavior at all? Some people say it does. They say the moon causes the tides, so surely that the moon has an effect on people and we ourselves are full of the water, too. But scientists point out that the moon only affects unrestrained（不受控制的）waters, such as oceans. The water in our bodies isn’t even com parable（可比较）. And over fifty years of research has shown nothing to prove the existence（存在）of a causative（引起联系的）link between the moon and areas such as mental illness, birth rates, crime, or accidents.There is an explanation for why people link the full moon to unusual human behavior. The reason is that people have selective memories（选择性记忆）. When something unusual happens and there is a full moon, people might notice the moon and think it is to be blamed.99.
