Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to protnote social change by opening more areas of life to decision.In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social changes is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp difference. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities,because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of society.B.Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to slow down social change.C.Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society.D.Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were young.

共用题干Searching for Smiles1 Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be:"to be happy."Ed Deiner,an American psychology professor,has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy,comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.2 Many people would say that this question does not need an answer.But Professor Deinerhas one anyway."If you're a cheerful,happy person,your marriage is more likely to last,and you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job.On average,happy people have stronger immune（免疫的）systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer."3 So who are the world's happiest people?It depends on how the word is defined.There is individual happiness,the sense of joy we get when we do something we like.But there isalso the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave.According to Professor Deiner,the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.4 "In the West, the individualistic（个人主义的）culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East.People ask themselves,what can I do that's fun orinteresting?They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things.If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy,they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives.If not much has gone wrong,then they are satisfied."5 People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture,Professor Deiner found."The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame.Hispanic（西班牙语言的）cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others."6 Income also made a big difference to people's happiness,but only at the lowest levels.Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty.But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes.It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.7 But can we be too happy? "You get people who are actually happy,but they think happiness is so important that they try to be even happier.This desire to be always happy isa product of individualism,where the emphasis is on you individually,your emotions and feeling good.People can end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good enough for them."According to Professor Deiner,some people feel unhappy because they cannot appreciateA:a questionB:ordinary happinessC:individualismD:cultural differencesE:muchF:illnesses

问答题The following appeared as part of an article in a daily newspaper: “The computerized on-board warning system that will be installed in commercial airliners will virtually solve the problem of midair plane collisions. One plane’s warning system can receive signals from another’s transponder—a radio set that signals a plane’s course—in order to determine the likelihood of a collision and recommend evasive action.” Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion, be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it, more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.
