单选题The best time to view the Mona Lisa, according to a new book on the best times to do things, is around nine o'clock on a Sunday morning: most tourists, it seems, don't realise that the Louvre is open then, while plenty of those who do will still be 27 from the wine-fuelled excesses of Saturday night. The best night to eat at a restaurant is a Tuesday: no crowds, but better than a Monday, since many restaurants don't get weekend deliveries, malting Monday's food less 28 . Such is the 29 but strangely compelling life-advice collected within the covers of Buy Ketchup In May And Fly At Noon, by Mark Di Vincenzo, a book that takes literally the cliché that timing is everything. But the 30 of his outlook are universal. If there's a perfect time to ask for a pay rise or a date, or a perfect moment in life to buy a house, have children or switch jobs, then there's hope for us all, ff only we can time things right. Of course, there's no such 31 art of timing that will make everything run smoothly. But one general principle that does 32 from Di Vincenzo's book is this: it pays, in life, to learn when and how to deliberately 33 out of synchronise (同步) with the rest of the world. Sometimes, this is a simple question of 34 the crowds: obviously, that's the reason for holidaying off season, and it's why Di Vincenzo recommends calling customer-service lines the moment they open, when call volume is lowest. But there's more to the matter than 35 avoiding peak times: with a little cunning (技巧), you can desynchronise yourself from the crowd so as to make their 36 behaviour work to your advantage. A. numerous B. avoiding C. worldly D. implications E. implied F. secret G. fresh H. engagements I. recovering J. emerge K. merely L. herd M. superior N. conversely O. fall

单选题 Bernard Bailyn has recently reinterpreted the early history of the United States by applying new social research findings on the experiences of European migrants. In his reinterpretation, migration becomes the organizing principle for rewriting the history of preindustrial North America. His approach rests on four separate propositions. The first of these asserts that residents of early modern England moved regularly about their countryside; migrating to the New World was simply a natural spillover. Although at first the colonies held little positive attraction for the English-they would rather have stayed home-by the 18th century people increasingly migrated to America because they regarded it as the land of opportunity. Secondly, Bailyn holds that, contrary to the notion that used to flourish in America history textbooks, there was never a typical New World community. For example, the economic and demographic character of early New England towns varied considerably. Bailyn's third proposition suggest two general patterns prevailing among the many thousands of migrants: one group came as indentured servants, another came to acquire land. Surprisingly, Bailyn suggests that those who recruited indentured servants were the driving forces of transatlantic migration. These colonial entrepreneurs helped determine the social character of people who came to preindustrial North America. At first, thousands of unskilled laborers were recruited; by the 1730's, however, American employers demanded skilled artisans. Finally, Bailyn argues that the colonies were a half-civilized hinterland of the European culture system. He is undoubtedly correct to insist that the colonies were part of an Anglo-American empire. But to divide the empire into English core and colonial periphery, as Bailyn does, devalues the achievements of colonial culture. It is true, as Bailyn claims, that high culture in the colonies never matched that in England. But what of seventeenth-century New England, where the settlers created effective laws, built a distinguished university, and published books? Bailyn might respond that New England was exceptional. However, the ideas and institutions developed by New England Puritans had powerful effects on North American culture. Although Bailyn goes on to apply his approach to some thousands of indentured servants who migrated just prior to the revolution, he fails to link their experience with the political development of the United States. Evidence presented in his work suggests how we might make such a connection. These indentured servants were treated as slaves for the period during which they had sold their time to American employers. It is not surprising that as soon as they served their time they passed up good wages in the cities and headed west to ensure their personal independence by acquiring land. Thus, it is in the west that a peculiarly American political culture began, among colonists who were suspicious of authority and intensely anti-aristocratic.
