单选题{{B}}Passage Three{{/B}} For some time after the Spanish won Granada from the Moors, Spanish kings enjoyed visiting that delightful city. After many years, however, they were frightened away by a series of earthquakes, during which several houses fell to the ground, and the old towers shook to their foundations. After that, many years passed without visits from royal guests. The noble palaces of Granada remained silent and closed, and that loveliest of palaces, the Alhambra, lay sadly alone with no one to care for its beautiful gardens. People no longer visited the tower where once three beautiful Moorish princesses had lived. Only birds and insects found their way to those tower rooms which had once been the home of the king's lovely daughters. Zayda, Zorayda, and Zorahayda. It was said that the spirit of the youthful princess Zorahayda, who had died in that tower, was often seen by moonlight, seated beside the fountain in the hall, or weeping beside the high stone wall. It was said that the music of her silver lute could be heard at midnight by travelers passing along the road. After many years, the city of Granada was honored once again by royal guests. All the world knows that King Philip V married Elizabeth or Isabella (for they are the same), the beautiful princess of Parma. For a visit of this famous couple, the Alhambra palace was repaired and made ready, with all possible speed, when the king and queen arrived with all the lords and ladies of their court, there was a great change in the lonely palace. Drums and roy- al music were heard, fine horses were ridden about the avenues and inner court, brightly colored flags again were flown above the ancient walls. Inside the palace, however, life was quiet and calm. There was the soft sound of long robes, and the careful steps and murmuring voices of those who respectfully served the king and queen. In the gardens there was soft music, and there was quiet talk among the young lords and ladies of the court.

单选题Let us assume, for the moment, that labor m not prepared to work for a lower money-wage and that a reduction in the existing level of money-wages would lead, through strikes or otherwise, to a withdrawal from the labor market of labor which is now employed. Does it follow from this that the existing level of real wages accurately measures the marginal disutility of labor? Not necessarily. For, although a reduction in the existing money-wage would lead to a withdrawal of labor, it does not follow that a fall in the value of the existing money-wage in terms of wage-goods would do so, if it were due to a rise in the price of the latter. In other words, it may be the case that within a certain range the demand of labor is for a minimum money-wage and not for a minimum real wage. The classical school has tacitly assumed that this would involve no significant change in their theory. But this is not so. For if the supply of labor is not a function of real wages as its sole variable, their argument breaks down entirely and leaves the question of what the actual employment will be quite indeterminate. They do not seem to have realized that, unless the supply of labor is a function of real wages alone, their supply curve for labor will shift bodily with every movement of prices. Thus their method is tied up with their very special assumptions, and cannot be adapted to deal with the more general case. Now ordinary experience tells us, beyond doubt, that a situation where labor stipulates (within limits) for a money-wage rather than a real wage, so far from being a mere possibility, is the normal case. Whilst workers will usually resist a reduction of money- wages, it is not their practice to withdraw their labor whenever there is a rise in the price of wage-goods. It is sometimes said that it would be illogical for labor to resist a reduction of money-wages but not to resist a reduction of real wages. For reasons given below, this might not be so illogical as it appears at first; and, as we shall see later, fortunately so. But, whether logical or illogical, experience shows that this is how labor in fact behaves. Moreover, the contention that the unemployment which characterizes a depression is due to a refusal by labor to accept a reduction of money-wages is not clearly supported by the facts. It is not very plausible to assert that unemployment in the United States in 1932 was due either to labor obstinately refusing to accept a reduction of money-wages or to its obstinately demanding a real wage beyond what the productivity of the economic machine was capable of furnishing. Wide variations are experienced in the volume of employment without any apparent change either in the minimum real demands of labor or in its productivity. Labor is not more truculent in the depression than in the boom-far from it. Nor is its physical productivity less, These facts from experience are a prima facie ground for questioning the adequacy of the classical analysis.

单选题Passage Five Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it . They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn't, they say, " Don't express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. " Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.
