1). Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people ale similar in many ways.The simple reason for this is that there are more(1)ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society.There are more ideas， more disagreements in interest， and more groups and organizations with different beliefs， hi addition， there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater(2)in mixed societies.All these factors tend to promote social change by(3)more areas of fife to decision.In a society where people are quite(4)in many ways， there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same.And although(5)may not be satisfactory， they are at least customary and undisputed.■Within a society， social change is also(6)to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material， for example， in technology rather than in(7)；in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early； in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society rather than in their opposites； in the simple elements rather than in the(8)ones； in form rather than in substance； and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.■Furthermore； social change is(9)if it is gradual.For example， it comes more readily in human relations on a(n) (10)scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies.This is one reason why change has not come mole quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities， because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.( )

2). In the early 20th century，few things were more appealing than the promise of scientific knowledge.In a world struggling with rapid industrialization，science and technology seemed to offer solutions to almost every problem.Newly created state colleges and universities devoted themselves almost entirely to scientific，technological，and engineering fields.Many Americans came to believe that scientific certainty could not only solve scientific problems，but also reform politics，government，and business.Two world wars and a Great Depression rocked the confidence of many people that scientific expertise alone could create a prosperous and ordered world.After World War II，the academic world turned with new enthusiasm to humanistic studies，which seemed to many scholars the best way to ensure the survival of democracy.American scholars fanned out across much of the world—with support from the Ford Foundation，the Fulbright program，etc.—to promote the teaching of literature and the arts in an effort to make the case for democratic freedoms.■In the America of our own time，the great educational challenge has become an effort to strengthen the teaching of what is now known as the STEM disciplines (science，technology，engineering，and math).There is considerable and justified concern that the United States is falling behind much of the rest of the developed world in these essential disciplines.India，China，Japan，and other regions seem to be seizing technological leadership.■At the same time，perhaps inevitably，the humanities—while still popular in elite colleges and universities—have experienced a significant decline.Humanistic disciplines are seriously underfunded，not just by the government and the foundations but by academic institutions themselves.Humanists are usually among the lowest-paid faculty members at most institutions and are often lightly regarded because they do not generate grant income and because they provide no obvious credentials (资质) for most nonacademic careers.■Undoubtedly American education should train more scientists and engineers.Much of the concern among politicians about the state of American universities today is focused on the absence of “real world” education—which means preparation for professional and scientific careers.But the idea that institutions or their students must decide between humanities and science is false.Our society could not survive without scientific and technological knowledge.But we would be equally impoverished (贫困的) without humanistic knowledge as well.Science and technology teach us what we can do.Humanistic thinking helps us understand what we should do.■It is almost impossible to imagine our society without thinking of the extraordinary achievements of scientists and engineers in building our complicated world.But try to imagine our world as well without the remarkable works that have defined our culture and values.We have always needed，and we still need，both.Why does the author attach so much importance to humanistic studies？( )
A.They promote the development of science and technology
B.They help prepare students for their professional careers
C.Humanistic thinking helps define our culture and values
D.Humanistic thinking helps cultivate students′creativity
正确答案：C
3). Halloween■[A] On October 31st，dozens of children dressed in costumes knock on their neighbors′ doors and yell “Trick or Treat” when the door opens.Pirates and princesses，ghosts and popular heroes of the day hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in.As they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks.Since the 800′s November 1st is a religious holiday known as All Saints′ Day.The Mass that was said on this day was called All Hallowmas.The evening before became known as All Hakkiwe′en，or Halloween.Like some other American celebrations，its origins lie in both pre-Christian and Christian customs.■[B] October 31st was the eve of the Celtic New Year.The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish，Welsh and Scottish people.On this day ghosts walked and mingled with the living，or so the Celts thought.The townspeople baked food all that day and when night fell they dressed up and tried to resemble the souls of the dead，hoping that the ghosts would leave peacefully before midnight of the New Year.Much later，when Christianity spread throughout Ireland and October 31st was no longer the last day of the year，Halloween became a celebration mostly for children.“Ghosts” went from door to door asking for treats，or else a trick would be played on the owners of the house.When millions of Irish people immigrated to the United States in the 1840s the tradition came with them.■[C] Today school dances and neighborhood parties called “block parties” are popular among young and old alike.More and more adults celebrate Halloween.They dress up like historical or political figures and go to masquerade parties(化装舞会).In larger cities，costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening.Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children.Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better！ Certain pranks(恶作剧) such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected.But partying and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing.Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world.■Symbols of Halloween■[D] Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits.Witches flying on broomsticks with black cats，ghosts，goblins(小精灵) and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween.They are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows.Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors，probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night.In the weeks before October 31st，Americans decorate windows of houses and schools with silhouettes(轮廓) of witches and black cats.■[E] Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween.The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash，and orange has become the other traditional Halloween color.Carving pumpkins into jack-o′-lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland.A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy(吝啬的) that he was not allowed into heaven when he died，because he was a miser(吝啬鬼).He couldn′t enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil.As a result，Jack had to walk the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day.The Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips(芜菁根)，beets(甜菜根) or potatoes representing “Jack of the Lantern，” or Jack-o′-lantern.When the Irish brought their customs to the United States，they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips.Today jack-o′-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodie(糖果) waiting if they knock and say “Trick or Treat！”■Halloween treats■Dried Pumpkin Seeds■[F] After carving your pumpkin，separate the pulp from the seeds.Rinse the seeds and spread them out to dry.The next day，add enough melted butter or margarine(人造黄油) to coat each seed.Spread the seeds onto a cookie sheet(甜酥饼干) and bake for 20 minutes in a 300 degree oven or until they are slightly brown.■Caramel (饴糖) Apples■[G] Take the paper wrapping off about 100 caramels and put them in a saucepan(炖锅).Put the saucepan over a pan of boiling water.Boil the water until the caramels melt.Put a wooden stick into the top of each apple； dip the apple into the caramel.Let them cool on wax paper and enjoy！■Scary stories■[H] No Halloween party is complete without at least one scary story.Usually one person talks in a low voice while everyone else crowds together on the floor or around a fire.The following is a retelling of a tare told in Britain and in North Carolina and Virginia.“What Do YOU Come For？” There was an old woman who rived all by herself，and she was very lonely.Sitting in the kitchen one night，she said，“Oh，I wish I had some company.”■[I] No sooner had she spoken than down the chimney tumbled two feet from which the flesh had rotted.The old woman′s eyes bulged with terror.Then two legs dropped to the hearth(壁炉地面) and attached themselves to the feet.Then a body tumbled down，then two alms，and a man′s head.As the old woman watched，the parts came together into a great，tall man.The man danced around and around the room.Faster and faster he went.Then he stopped，and he looked into her eyes.“What do you come for？” She asked in a small voice that shivered and shook.“What do I come for？” he said.“I come for YOU！” The narrator shouts and jumps at the person near him！The “Trick or Treat！” tradition was brought to the United States by Irish immigrants.
