The Swedes are among the most charming peoples in Europe. And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns.At the same time,they are one of the most ntellectually progressive people in the world. They are always open to new ideas.
All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (仪式) made up of formal bows, handshakes, and greetings. When a visitor enters a Swedish home, he is invariably received with a \will tell him \welcome again\Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners.
Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment. A traveller never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden: telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways. And in church, for example, long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing. Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travellers in Sweden find their journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices.

Passage Two
Author Steven Pincker, a scholar of linguistics, maintained thattraditional anthropology (人类学) has done humanity a great harm by focusing on the odd, unreasonable elements in human society. This has distorted our understanding of each other, separating us into the known and unknown, whatever our perspectives.
Pincker’s point is well taken. He argues that should an extraterrestrial (外星人), for example, land on planet earth she would be struck not by these differences, which would be invisible to her, but by how much alike we all are. She would hear us speak, run human speech through her PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), and learn that all human speeches have nouns, verbs and modifiers. Each one of the 800 or so human languages has ways to express relative location (English uses a vast array of prepositions for this purpose; other languages use case markers, or post-positional words, like Japanese). All languages express what is past, what is happening at the moment, and has ways to predict or plan future action. All have words and phrases to express hope and hopelessness, passion and friendship, anger and negotiation and apology. The extraterrestrial would say we all speak dialects of one common language.
Pincker has noted that there are emotional and cultural universals that stretch across races, across national borders, with differences only in the slightest sense. All cultures value beauty, and a beautiful baby or woman or man is recognized as such whether African, Asian or European. All cultures cherish families and punish crime, and define crime in fairly similar ways.
A36.Pincker thinks traditional anthropology has laid too much emphasis on____. A) the differences among human beings
B) the similarities among human races
C) the differences between the human and the extraterrestrial D) the similarities between the human and the extraterrestrial C37. According to Pinker, if the extraterrestrial comes to earth, ____.

D) she will be strongly impressed by the language of English and Japanese

C) They all have ways to describe family and crime. D) They all have ways to describe feels.
D39. Pincker will most probably agree that ____.
A) if we behave like the extraterrestrial, we can be happier and more contented
B) different peoples have different standards about beauty
C) different languages on the earth are dialects of one common language
D) if we notice more of the common parts among human beings, we can live a more
peaceful life
C40. The author's attitude towards Pincker's theory is ____. A) critical B) ironical C) objective D) negative Passage Three
Many people try every means to make themselves look younger and more attractive. Some even go under the surgeon’s knife to achieve the state of grace. Surgery that can improve the way a person looks is called cosmetic surgery, which is becoming more and more popular in the world nowadays.
Both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn to facelifts, liposuction (taking fat out of the body), and implants (putting artificial parts into their bodies ) to help them look younger. As companies downsize and move younger employees into higher
positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. A younger look through cosmetic surgery may give an older employee a few more years on the job. These operations are not without dangers, however.
One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the dark bags under her eyes. She described her experience as terrible. She said, ―When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he’d given me an injection near my eyes, I saw everything.‖ She went on to explain, ―I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was scraping away fat underneath my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished, I felt I couldn’t walk. I was so faint.‖ Her troubles did not end after the operation. For two weeks, her eyes were swollen and almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.
Liposuction, taking fat out of the body, is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the place where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine like a vacuum cleaner is then turned on, and the fat is sucked right out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, ―Irregular lumps and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is not evenly done, liposuction can produce a very lumpy result.‖ Patients often must have more liposuction to correct the problem.

A. Cosmetic surgery can help people achieve the state of grace.
B. Cosmetic surgery is not dangerous.
C. Cosmetic surgery is a way to make people look younger by an operation. D. Both women and men try cosmetic surgery to hide their age.
C43. What can we learn form the third paragraph? A. This was an implant operation.
B. The young woman was against cosmetic surgery. the young woman got.
C. There were some side effects of the cosmetic surgery the young woman got.
D. The young woman got an injection and didn’t know what happened during the operation.
C44. What does not mention about Liposuction? A. Fat is taken out of the body.
B. A small cut is made over your body. C. Artificial fat is put into the body.
D. Fat is sucked out of body through a small pipe.
