填空题 Old people are always saying that the young people are not {{U}}(51) {{/U}} they were. The same comment is {{U}}(52) {{/U}} from generation to generation and it is always {{U}}(53) {{/U}}. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy {{U}}(54) {{/U}} freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so {{U}}(55) {{/U}} on their parents. Events which the older generation remember vividly are {{U}}(56) {{/U}} more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is {{U}}(57) {{/U}} from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed. The old always assume that they know best for the simple {{U}}(58) {{/U}} that they have been {{U}}(59) {{/U}} a bit longer. They don't like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the {{U}}(60) {{/U}} are doing. They are questioning the {{U}}(61) {{/U}} of their elders and disturbing their complacency. They take leave to {{U}}(62) {{/U}} that the older generation has created the best of all possible worlds. What they reject more than {{U}}(63) {{/U}} is conformity. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn't people work best if they were given complete freedom and {{U}}(64) {{/U}}? And what {{U}}(65) {{/U}} the clothing? Who said that all the men in the world should {{U}}(66) {{/U}} drab grey suits? If we turn our {{U}}(67) {{/U}} to more serious matters, who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used {{U}}(68) {{/U}} to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their personal lives, so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more {{U}}(69) {{/U}} possessions? Can anything be right with the retrace? Haven't the old lost {{U}}(70) {{/U}} with all that is important in life?

填空题Most people who travel long distances complain of jetlag. Jetlag makes business travelers less productive and more prone (51) making mistakes. It is actually caused by (52) of your "body clock"—a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of biological (53) .The body clock is designed for a (54) rhythm of daylight and darkness, so that it is thrown out of balance when i (55) daylight and darkness at the "wrong'' times in a new time zone. The (56) of jetlag often persist for days (57) the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone. Now a new anti-jetlag system is (58) that is based on proven (59) pioneering scientific research. Dr. Martin Moore-Ede has (60) a practical strategy to adjust the body clock much sooner to the new time zone (61) controlled exposure to bright light. The time zone shift is easy to accomplish and eliminates (62) of the discomfort of jetlag. A successful time zone shift depends on knowing the exact time to either (63) or avoid bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can actually make jetlag worse. The proper schedule (64) light exposure depends a great deal on (65) travel plans. Data on a specific flight itinerary and the individual's sleep (66) are used to produce a Trip Guide with (67) on exactly when to be exposed to bright light. When the Trip Guide calls (68) bright light you should spend time outdoors if possible. If it is dark out-side, or the weather is bad, (69) you are on an aeroplane, you can use a special light device to provide the necessary light (70) for a range of activities such as reading, watching TV or working.

填空题Some rituals of modern domestic living vary little throughout the developed world. One such is the municipal refuse collection, usually once a week, your rubbish bags or the contents of your bin disappear into the bowels of a special lorry and are carted away to the local tip. To economists, this ceremony is peculiar, because in most places it is free. Yes, households pay for the service out of local taxes. (71) Yet the marginal cost of rubbish disposal is not zero at all. The more people throw away, the more rubbish collectors and trucks are needed, and the more the local council has to pay in landfill and tipping fees. (72) But as Don Fullerton and Thomas Kinnaman, two American economists, have found, this seemingly easy application of economic sense to an everyday problem has surprisingly intricate and sometimes disappointing results. In the past few years several American towns and cities have started charging households for generating rubbish. The commonest system is to sell stickers or tags which householders attach to rubbish bags or cans. Only bags with these labels are picked up in the weekly collection. In the paper published last year Fullerton and Kinnaman studied the effects of one such scheme, introduced in July 1992 in Charlottesville, Virginia, a town of about 40,000 people. Residents were charged 80 cents for each sticker. This may sound like the sensible use of market forces. In fact, the authors conclude, the scheme's benefits did not cover the cost of printing stickers, the sticker sellers' commissions, and the wages of the people running the scheme. (73) This is inefficient: compacting is done better by machines at landfill sites than by individuals, however enthusiastically. The weight of rubbish collected in Charlottesville fell by a modest 14%. (74) The one bright spot in all this seems to have been a 15% increase in the weight of materials recycled, suggesting that people chose to recycle free rather than pay to have their refuse carted away. But the fee may have little to do with the growth in recycling, as many citizens were already participating in Charlottesville's voluntary recycling scheme. (75) To discourage dumping, for instance, local councils might have to spend more on catching litterers, or raise fines for littering, or cut the price of legitimate rubbish collection.A. True, the number of bags or cans collected did fall sharply, by 37% between May and September 1992. But rather than buy more tags, people simply crammed more garbage--about 40% more into each container.B. This looks like the most basic of economic misunderstandings: if rubbish disposal is free, people will produce too much rubbish. The obvious economic solution is to make households pay the marginal cost of disposing of their waste. That will give them an incentive to throw out less and recycle more.C. City authorities are now considering a project to teach Government waste collectors the skills, such as what rubbish to collect and how to classify it. If approved, the project will help ease the financial burden of the city's waste treatment.D. It would be foolish to generalize from this one case, but the moral is clear, economic incentives sometimes produce unforeseen responses.E. Less pleasing still, some people resorted to illegal dumping rather than pay to have their rubbish removed. This is hard to measure directly. But the authors, ob-serving that a few households in the sample stopped putting rubbish out, guess that illegal dumping may account for 30%-40% of the reduction in collected rubbish.F. But at the margin the price is zero: the family that fills four bins with rubbish each week pays no more than the elderly couple that fills on

The amount of space changes {{U}}(53) {{/U}} on the interpersonal relationship. For example, we are usually more comfortable standing closer to family members than to {{U}}(54) {{/U}} . Personality {{U}}(55) {{/U}} determines the size of this space. Introverts often prefer to interact with others at a greater distance than {{U}}(56) {{/U}}. Cultural styles are important too. A Japanese {{U}}(57) {{/U}} and employee usually stand farther apart while talking than their American counterparts. Latin Americans and Arabs tend to {{U}}(58) {{/U}} closer together than Americana when talking. For Americans, {{U}}(59) {{/U}} in social conversation is about an arm's length to four feet. Less space in the American culture may be associated {{U}}(60) {{/U}} greater intimacy or aggressive behavior. The common practice of saying "Excuse me," or "Pardon me" for the slightest accidental touching of another person reveals an American attitude about personal space. Thus when a person's "space" is intruded {{U}}(61) {{/U}} by someone, he or {{U}}(62) {{/U}} . may feel {{U}}(63) {{/U}} and react defensively.
