They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they have to do the same regular work. Theyll try to do in different ways. Repetition and monotony( 单词) are what they cant stand. In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hats hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats. One day there came a young tourist who entered a millinery(女士帽子)shop and found a very nice hat costing five dollars. He said to the shop - keeper. If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, Id like to buy two hundred hats of this style. No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style. The tourist could not understand. Hows that？ Well, said the shop - keeper. If you buy only one hat of this style. I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will bore me almost to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So, you at least pay me double price. 31. The story tells us _（）A. that the American people dont want to do the same work again and againB. how to buy a hatC. that the straw hats were sold only in the mountain villageD. the price will be cheaper if you buy a lot of hats of the same style32.

Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is no. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however. goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works. _The scientists knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einsteins ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 36. What makes a scientist according to the passage?（）A. The tools he uses.B. The way he uses his tools.C. His way of learning.D. The various tools he uses.37. The scientist, however, goes one step further The author says this to show _ .（）A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs38. A sound scientific theory should be one that _（）A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the sameconditions at other timesB. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leaves no room for improvement39. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _（）A. that measurements are keys to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that the investigations are important in scienceD. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations40. What is the main idea of the passage?（）A. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.Passage3_For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the worlds greatest dramatist(剧作家). Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeares writings that have become part of the common property of the English - speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well - known proverbs and quotations._Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English;Shakespeare in his works used about twenty - five thousand._There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.
