If you are like most people,your intelligence varies from season to season．You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year．A noted scientist,Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1947),concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat．This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year．It does mean,however,that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking．One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season,then winter．As for summer,it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that__.A.all nature,including man,is growing thenB.it lasts longer than the other seasonsC.it is not too warm and not too coldD.both B and C

资料：In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.In the second example，more people choose the option（ ）？A.with a one-third probability that nobody will dieB.with a two-thirds probability that nobody will be savedC.allowing 400 people to dieD.that 200 people will be saved

问答题Cultural Attitudes towards Time According to anthropologist Irving Hallowell, there is no evidence that humans have an inborn sense of time. A person’s temporal concepts are probably determined largely by culture. One study showed that infants, after a few days of listening to speech around them, will move their heads and limbs in rhythm with the speech they hear. As children develop, they adapt more fully to their temporal culture. This temporal culture influences language, music, poetry and dance. It also affects relationships. We tend to get along well with people who share our sense of time. One particular cultural attitude towards time is found in polychronic cultures. Some Mediterranean and southwest Asian Cultures are usually placed in this category. Such cultures emphasise relationships among people, flexible timing of appointments, and the careful completion of processes rather than strict schedules. Polychronic people seldom feel that time is being wasted. They tend to consider each activity valuable on its own, not just as part of a larger process. Polychronic people tend to have many projects going on at the same time, and they may shift frequently from one task to another. They change plans often. For polychronic people, work time is not clearly separable from personal time, so business meetings are considered a form of socialising. Monochronic cultures, on the other hand, are oriented towards tasks and schedules. Cultures usually considered monochromic can be found in northern Europe, North America, and some parts of eastern Asia. Monochronic people feel that time is tangible and inflexible and that “time is money.” They do one thing at a time and concentrate on each thing. Time and job commitments are very important to them and they tend to follow plans rigidly. Also, monochromic people clearly separate their work and personal time, and they place a high value on privacy. As you might expect, people from polychronic and monochromic cultures often misunderstand each other because of their different senses of time. For example, because a monochromic culture is highly compartmentalized, monochromic people tend to sequence conversations as well as tasks. They would not, for instance, interrupt a phone call in order to greet another person who just came into the room In contrast, polychronic people are comfortable with having multiple conversations at the same time. They would consider it rude not to greet someone who entered during a phone conversation. Complete the summary below by choosing for each blank no more than three words from the passage. Cultures may have either a 1 or a monochromic conception of time. Cultures with a polychromic view of time follow a 2 timetable. People from polychronic cultures tend to work on severa 3 at the same time. On the other hand, people in 4 perceive events and tasks as being more compartmentalized. In this culture, jobs and even conversations should follow a certain 5 Everything in these cultures seems inflexible, and has its own place and time.
