Exercise 1
How much pain do animals feel? This is a question which has caused endless controversy. (1) of big game shooting，for example，arouse our pity by describing the agonies of a (2) beast that has crawled into a corner to die．In countries where the fox，the hare and the deer are hunted，animal-lovers paint harrowing pictures of the (3) animal suffering not only the physical（4） of the chase but the mental anguish of (5) death.
The usual answer to these (6) is that animals do not suffer in the same way，or to the same extent，as we do．Man was created with a
(7) nervous system and has never lost his acute（8） to pain；animals，on the other hand，(9) .
For example，a dog will continue to play with a ball even after a serious injury to his foot；he may be unable to run without limping，but he will go on trying long after a human child would have had to stop because of the pain．We are told，moreover，that (10) .
These arguments are unsatisfactory because something about which we know a great deal is being compared with something we can only conjecture．We know what we feel；we have no means of knowing what animals feel．Some creatures with a less delicate nervous system than ours may be incapable of feeling pain to the same extent as we do：that as far as we are entitled to go the nost humane attitude，surely，is to (11) .
Exercise 2
Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow blindness，yet，with dark glasses or not，they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes，and even snow blindness，when exposed to several hours of“snow light”．
The United States Army has now (1) that glare from snow doesn’t cause snow blindness in (2) in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes (3) find nothing to focus on in a broad (4) of barren snow-covered terrain．So his gaze (5) shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire (6) in search of something to look at．Finding nothing，hour after hour，the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this (7) by producing more and more fluid, which covers the eyeballs．The fluid covers the eyeballs increasing quantity until vision blurs，then is (8) , and the result is total，even though temporary，snow blindness．
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem．(9) _____________________________________________Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight，dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The man following can then see something．(10) _______________________________________________________ . By focusing their attention on one object at a time，(11)__________________________________.
Exercise 3
Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being (1) . Advocates of organic foods-a term whose meaning varies greatly-frequently (2) that such products are safer and more (3) than others.
The growing interest of (4) in the safety and nutritional quality of the (5) North American diet is a welcome development. However，much of this interest has been (6)
________by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or (7)________in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific (8)________,the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, (9)__________________________________________
____________________________________________________.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-ageing” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods. (10)_____________________________________________________________ , that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like.
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than convertionally grown food. (11) _____________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________. So there is a real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.
Exercise 4
American society is not nap-friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep (1) at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, “There’s even a (2) against admitting we need sleep.” Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb:“Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and (3) eleven.”
The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our (4) to wards napping,” says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the (5) of sleep research.
Last year a national commission led by Dement (6) an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was (7) about the dangers of sleepiness: People causing (8) accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, the President is trying to take a half-hour nap every afternoon.
(9)______________________________________________________________________. We seem to have “a mid．afternoon quiet phase”．also called“a secondary sleep gate”．(10) ______________________________________________________________________________. Clearly，we were born to nap.
We“snack”on sleep．whenever．wherever and at whatever time we feel like it．(11)_____

Exercise 5
Culture is the sum total of all the traditions，customs，belief, and ways of life of a given group of human beings．In this sense every group has a culture however (1) , undeveloped, or (2) it may seem to us.
To the professional (3) ，there is no intrinsic (4) of one culture over another，just as to the (5) linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.
People once thought of the languages of (6) groups as savage，undeveloped forms of speech，(7) largely of grunts and groans．While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans，it is a fact (8) by the study of “backward” languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today．(9)_______________________
__________________________________________. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures，which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies，which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers．Even in this department，however，two things are to be noted：① All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion，(10)_________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________.
②The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in“backward”languages，while different from ours．are often surprisingly numerous and complicated．A Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness ("this”and“that”)；(11)______________
______________________________________________________________________________.
This study of language，in turn，casts a new light upon the claim Of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed independently，and without ideas of rank or hierarchy．
Exercise 6
A good many technical people become irate when you call a computer a giant brain. They insist that a computer does only what thinking humans have planned to have it do·
Yet one (1) states categorically．“A machine can handle information；it can (2) , conclude，and choose；it can perform reasonable operations with information．A machine，therefore，can think．”Famed (3) Norbert Wiener of MIT (4) a machine that can learn and will “in no way be (5) to make such decisions as we should have made，or will be acceptable to us”．(6) ，he thinks machines can think
There is a popular (7) about a computer programmer who，just for a lark，spent days setting up the machine to destroy itself, then watched (8) as the computer dutifully proceeded to commit suicide．If that machine could have thought，would it not have circumvented him?
To me the controversy boils down to a definition of the word think．(9)_________________
_________________________________________________________________________.
Apparently，neurons are elementary memory units，capable of storing the same kind of information “bits”that a machine can store．(10)________________________________________
______________________________________________________. But such an explanation fails to account for how the brain originates thought．
Probably the clearest differentiation between man and machine is a quantitative one．The brain has roughly a million times as many components as the best computer．At any rate，a machine cannot exercise free will or originate anything--not yet．
Computers can already do a lot of surprising things，which include predicting the weather．

“Avoid the rush-hour”must be the slogan of large cities the world over．If it is，it’s a
(1) no one takes the least notice of．Twice a day，with (2) regularity，the pot boils over．Wherever you look it’s people，people，people．The trains which leave or arrive every few minutes are packed：an endless (3) of human sardine tins．The streets are so (4) , and there is hardly room to move on the (5) . The queues for buses reach (6)______

Exercise 8
There were two widely divergent influences on the early development of statistical methods. Statistics had a mother who was (1) to keeping orderly records of governmental units (state and statistics come from the same Latin root status) and a gentlemanly (2) father who relied on mathematics to increase his skill at playing the (3) in games of chance．The influence of the mother on the offspring, statistics, is (4) by counting，measuring，describing，(5) ，ordering，and the taking of censuses-all of which led to modern (6) statistics．From the influence of the father came modem (7) statistics，which is based squarely on theories of (8) .
Descriptive statistics involve tabulating，depicting，and collections of data．These data may be either quantitative，such as measures of height，intelligence，or grade lerel--variables that are characterized by an underlying continuum—(9)_________________________________________
_________________________________________________________. Large masses of data must generally undergo a process of summarization or reduction before they are comprehensible．(10)__________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Inferential statistics is a formalized body of methods for solving another class of problems that present great difficulties for the unaided human mind．This general class of problems characteristically involves attempts to make predictions using a sample of observations． (11)___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Exercise 9
Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people．Shy people are anxious and (1) ；that is，they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. (2) thoughts are constantly occurring their minds：what kind of (3) am I making? Do they like? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing (4) clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people (5) . A person’s self concept is (6) in the way he or she behaves．and the way a person behaves affects other
people’s (7) . In general，the way people think about themselves has a (8) effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people are very sensitive to criticism；they feel it confirms their inferiority．(9) ____________________________________________________________. A shy person may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one：“You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true．”(10)_____________________________________________________
________________________________.
Can shyness be completely eliminated，or at least reduced? (11)________________________
________________________________________________________. People’s expectations of themselves must be realistic．Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy
Exercise 10
Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger．Not all will be saved，and perhaps not all (1) to be saved．There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses．We have no (2) to save them simply because they exist．
But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are (3) . They are doing a fine job educationally，but they are caught in a (4) squeeze，with no way to reduce rising costs or increasing (5) significantly．Raising tuition doesn’t bring in more revenues，for each time tuition goes up，the (6) goes down，or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up．Schools are bed businesses，whether public or private，not usually because of (7) but because of the nature of the enterprise．They lose money on every customer，and they can go (8) but because either from too few students or too many students．Even a very good college is a very bad business.
(9)________________________________________________________________________.Even with full enrollment，they may go under．Efforts to save them，and preferably to keep them private，are a national necessity．(10)________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________. Examples to the contrary abound．Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world．Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education．(11)__________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________.
Ardent supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education．

The life story of the human species goes back a million years，and there is no doubt that man came only recently to the western hemisphere．None of the thousands of sites of aboriginal (36) uncovered in North and South America has antiquity (37) to that of old world sites．Man’s (38) of the New World may date several tens of thousands of years，but no one rationally argues that he has been here even 1 00,000 years.
Speculation as to how man found his way to America was lively at the outset and the (39) routes boxed the compass．With one or two (40) exceptions，however，students of American anthropology soon settled for the plausible idea that the first (41) came by way of a land bridge that had connected the northeast comer of Asia to the (42) comer of North America across the Bering Strait．Mariners were able to supply the (43) information that the strait is not only narrow—it is 56 miles wide—but also shallow．a lowering of the sea level there by 1 00 feet or so would transform the strait into an isthmus．With little eels in the way of evidence to sustain the Bering Strait land bridge，anthropologists embraced the idea that man walked dry-shod from Asia to America．
(44) . Zoologists and botanists showed that numerous subjects of their respective kingdoms must have originated in Asia and spread to America．(45) .
But the immense traffic in plant and animal’s forms placed a heavy burden on the Bering Strait land bridge as the anthropologists ahead envisioned it．(46) .

A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap，a division between young people and their elders．Parents (36) that children did not show them proper respect and (37) while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all．What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? (38) ，the generation gap has been around for a long time．Many (39) argue that it is built into the (40) of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life styles．In more (41) societies，when children grow up，they are (42) to live in the same area as their parents，to marry people that their parents know and (43) of, and often to continue the family occupation．In our society，young people often travel great distances for their education，move out of the family home at an early age，marry or live with (44)_________________________________________________________________

Voices have been raised in (41) since the beginning，rising in pitch and violence in the nineteenth century during the early stages of the industrial (42) ，summoning urgent crowds into the streets on the issue of (43) energy.
