单选题{{B}}Passage 36{{/B}}
The market is a concept. If you are
growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You
might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local
supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts
are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop
producing them. If you take care of a sick person to earn money,
you are producing for the market. (36) {{U}}If your father is a steelworker or a
truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the
market.{{/U}} When you spend your income, you are buying things
from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and
restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires
you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor
market. The market may seem to be something abstract. But for
each person or businessman who is making and selling something, it's very
{{U}}real{{/U}}. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the
message. The market is telling you something. It's telling you that you are
using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to
do.

单选题A group of people who share the same interests and way of life is called a society. Sociology is the science that examines human society. The term sociology is derived from the Latin word socius, which means "companion, union of people". (80) Sociologists are interested in how a society began and how it grew. They also study the levels within a society. For example, the child is part of the family, the family is part of the neighborhood, and the neighborhood is part of the community. There are many different groups, and sociologists are interested in the effect that these groups have on people. A Frenchman named Auguste Comte made sociology a separate science in the l'830s. He suggested that a new science was necessary to study a society of people. A famous book, Principles of Sociology, was published by an Englishman, Herbert Spencer, in 1882. This book had an unprecedented(史无前例的) effect on the science of sociology. In this book, Spencer theorized that a society's customs evolved, or grew, from very simple to more complicated and advanced. This theory shows the influence that Charles Darwin (who believed that man had evoked from very simple forms to the present human) had on Spencer.

单选题The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture (针灸) to perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.
To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.
Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.
A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation but the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.
