单选题 The Western is a uniquely genre which has found expression in the medious of literature, radio, television and the movies. Westerns derive their name from the fact that they are set West of the Mississippi before these areas were developed and settled. Many Westerns thus take place in frontier outposts in the latter half of the Nineteenth Century. Westerns, while not as popular as they once were, continue to be produced because their setting remains compelling and allows for the expression of some basic human conflicts. Popular icons of the Western include the gun, the horse, the saloon and the open prairie. The Western portrayed a violent and isolated society which placed a premium on freedom and independence. Often Westerns showed conflict between white settlers and Native Americans. Another common conflict was between the focus of law and order, often represented by the town sheriff, and criminal elements such as cattle rustlers, bank robbers and guns for hire. Westerns were particularly popular from the turn of the 20th Century up until the mid 1960s. In the early part of the century Western stories usually appeared in inexpensive 'pulp' magazines. In the 1920s radio dramas such as the Lone Ranger came into vogue. Westerns reached their greatest audience, however with the large number of movies made from the mid 1930s to mid 1960s. Western movie stars such as John Wayne, Gary Cooper and more recently Clint Eastwood have remained extremely popular with the American public. With the advent of television in the 1950s, a new avenue opened up for the Western and programs such as Gunsmoke and Bonanza exposed a whole new generation to the mythology of the American West. Westerns are often thought to be crude and unsophisticated as they paint a romanticized and unrealistic portrait of the American West of the time. While this may be true of many Westerns, some critics have noted that the best Westerns often show an ever present tension in American sociey: between the need for society on the one hand and the desire of individuals to express their personal impulses on the other hand. Because this is fundamental to US culture, the Western genre will likely to be with us for years to come.

单选题Fear can be an effective way to change behavior. One study compared the effects of high-fear and low-fear appeals on changes in attitudes and behaviors related to dental hygiene (卫生). One group of subjects was shown awful pictures of 27 teeth and diseased gums; another group was shown less frightening materials such as plastic teeth, charts, and graphs. Subjects who saw the frightening materials reported more anxiety and a greater 28 to change the way they took care of their teeth than the low-fear group did. But were these reactions actually 29 into better dental hygiene practices? To answer this important question, subjects were called back to the laboratory on two 30 (five days and six weeks after the experiment). They chewed disclosing wafers (牙疾诊断片) that give a red stain to any uncleaned areas of the teeth and thus provided a direct 31 of how well they were really taking care of their teeth. The result showed that the high-fear appeal did actually result in greater and more 32 changes in dental hygiene. That is, the subjects 33 to high-fear warnings brushed their teeth more 34 than did those who saw low-fear warnings. However, to be an effective persuasive device it is very important that the message not be too frightening and that people be given 35 guidelines to help them to reduce the cause of the fear. If this isn't done, they may reduce their anxiety by denying the message or the 36 of the communicator. If that happens, it is unlikely that either attitude or behavior change will occur.

单选题Today more and more people go to websites when looking for information. Although most readers go to websites for news and e-mail, a form of person-to-person news, or in the form of chatting, they also read books on the web. It's called electronic book (e-book). Electronic books could revolutionize reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well. "The e-book promises to cause a slow tragedy on life as we know it," Jason Ohler, professor of technology assessment, university of Alaska Southeast In Juneau, warned the World Future Society, Bethesda, Md. His assessment weighed the pros and cons (赞成和反对的理由) of e-book technology's impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc. Before you curl up (蜷曲) with an e-book, consider the disadvantages. They increase eyestrain due to poor screen resolution, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print-book production and traditional publishing. E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation (补偿) of authors, as well as creating nonbiodegradable (不可生物降解) trash. On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online. They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self-publishing. In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society's approval if a few conditions are met: make them biodegradable and recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue, be sure the "have-nots" get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business.

单选题 At some point in 2008, someone, probably in either Asia or Africa, made the decision to move from the countryside to the city. This nameless person pushed the human race over an historic threshold, for it was in that year that mankind became, for the first time in its history, a predominantly urban species. It is a trend that shows no sign of slowing. Demographers (人口统计学家) reckon that three-quarters of humanity could be city-dwelling by 2050, with most of the increase coming in the fast-growing towns of Asia and Africa. Migrants to cities are attracted by plentiful jobs, access to hospitals and education, and the ability to escape the boredom of a farmer's agricultural life. Those factors are more than enough to make up for the squalor (肮脏), disease and spectacular poverty that those same migrants must often at first endure when they become urban dwellers. It is the city that inspires the latest book from Peter Smith. His main thesis is that the buzz of urban life, and the opportunities it offers for co-operation and collaboration, is what attracts people to the city, which in turn makes cities into the engines of art, commerce, science and progress. This is hardly revolutionary, but it is presented in a charming format. Mr. Smith has written a breezy guidebook, with a series of short chapters dedicated to specific aspects of urbanity—parks, say, or the various schemes that have been put forward over the years for building the perfect city. The result is a sort of high-quality, unusually rigorous coffee-table book, designed to be dipped into rather than read from beginning to end. In the chapter on skyscrapers, for example, Mr. Smith touches on construction methods, the revolutionary invention of the automatic lift, the practicalities of living in the sky and the likelihood that, as cities become more crowded, apartment living will become the norm. But there is also time for brief diversions onto bizarre ground, such as a discussion of the skyscraper index (which holds that a boom in skyscraper construction is a foolproof sign of an imminent recession). One obvious criticism is that the price of breadth is depth; many of Mr. Smith's essays raise as many questions as they answer. Although that can indeed be frustrating, this is probably the only way to treat so grand a vast topic. The city is the building block of civilisation and of almost everything people do, a guidebook to the city is really, therefore, a guidebook to how a large and ever-growing chunk of humanity chooses to live. Mr. Smith's book serves as an excellent introduction to a vast subject, and will suggest plenty of further lines of inquiry.
