A City That's Doing Something Right

There's good news and bad news about life in modern cities-first, the bad. People who study population growth l1( predict ) a nightmare by the year 2025: the population12( global ) will be more than 2 eight billion, and almost four billion of these people will be living in cities in developing countries such as India and Nigeria. Population growth is already causing unbelievable overcrowding. Due to this overcrowding, many cities have problems with air pollution, disease, and crime. People spend hours in gridlock-that is, traffic so horrible that it simply doesn't

A City and Its Mayor

It might not be a surprise to find that life in affluent cities is improving. But what about cities that aren't rich? The city of Curitiba, Brazil, proves that it's possible for even a city in a developing country to offer a good life to its 15( residents ). The former mayor of Curitiba for 25 years, Jaime 5 Lerner is an architect and a very practical person.16( Under ) his leadership, the city planners17( established ) a list of priorities- in other words, a list of what was most important to work on. They decided t018( focus ) on the19( environment ) and on the quality of life. With an average income of only about $2,000 per person per year, Curitiba has the same problems as many cities. However, it also has some 20( creative ) solutions.

Section II Reading Comprehension

Read the passage. Then answer the questions that follow. (5 points each) Homeschooling A

One of the trends in education in the United States in recent times has been

homeschooling-teaching children at home instead of at school. About l.5 million children, or 2.5% of the school-age population, are presently taught at home. There are several reasons for this movement: lack of good schools in some neighborhoods, the desire to include religion in coursework, and parental disagreement with classroom practices in public schools. B

As you read in Chapter l, poorer areas of the United States generally have poorer

schools. Teachers may not be well trained, and equipment may not be as modern as in richer schools. Some parents think that teaching their children at home is better than sending them to an inferior school. C

Other parents, often Christians, want their children to learn about God in school. While there are private schools that teach classes in religion, they tend to be expensive.

Parents can save money by buying materials from Christian education companies and teaching their children at home. D

Another group of parents disagree with the way schools are run or the way children

are taught. They want a less rigid atmosphere in which their children can choose the subjects they want to learn or study in nontraditional ways. They can provide their children with more flexibility if they homeschool them. E

People often wonder if homeschooled children learn as much as those in traditional

schools. Organizations like the National Home Education Research Institute say that they do.

3

Many educational companies put together courses that contain books, DVDs, and online

(Internet) lessons and tests. Students who complete these courses are just as capable of entering top universities and graduating with honors as those who attend traditional schools. They are also able to get good jobs and perform well in the workplace. F

Although some educators, critics of homeschooling, may not want to accept this fact, many children taught at home actually do better than many taught at school. They are more interested in studying and more comfortable with their own learning style. Instead of being motivated to compete for the highest grade, they are motivated by love of learning.

Complete the following statements by choosing the best from the answers a, b, c,or d. 注意: 答题时一律输入小写字母。 （输入大写字母将被机器判为答错。） ( )21. The number of children who are taught at home is ______. a. 1.5 million

b. 1.50-/o of the school-age population c. 2.5% higher than last year d. 2.5 million

( )22. Parents who want their children to have a religious education . a. always send them to expensive schools

b. sometimes buy materials and teach their children at home c. do not want their children to learn about God

d. never send money to Christian education companies

( )23. Some parents homeschool their children because ______. a. there are good schools in their neighborhood b. they disagree with public school practices

c. they do not want their children to study religion d. they have enough money for a private school

( )24. Critics of homeschooling think that children ______. a. are more comfortable with their own learning style b. are more interested in studying at home c. compete at home for the highest grade

Consumerism and the Human Brain A

We are all consumers. We all buy and use products and services; that is, we consume. The word comes from the Latin consumere, which means \don't think of ourselves as wasteful or destructive, but the world economy is based on consumerism. Today, people worldwide have greater access than ever before to a huge variety of products and, often. to dozens of brands of the same product. What makes us decide to buy Brand A instead of Brand B, when the two items are really identical? Why do we buy things that we don't actually need? The answer lies in marketing-the advertising and selling of products. Successful marketers use their knowledge of psychology and, increasingly, of recent studies of the human brain, to persuade us to consume more and more. B

A good understanding of human weakness is essential if a company wants to sell a product. One way that advertisers persuade us to buy a product is by targeting our dissatisfaction with ourselves. our fears. Consider for a moment a typical fear-fear of being offensive to other people. Advertisers persuade us. for example, that if we don't buy their mouthwash, we'll have bad breath and offend other people. Dentists tell us that mouthwash is actually unnecessary; they explain that we need only simple dental hygiene-regular, correct use of a soft toothbrush and of dental floss. But we continue to spend money on mouthwash, breath freshener. and breath mints. Our fear of offending people outweighs our dentists' logic. C

In a similar way, advertisers also take advantage of our need for a good self-image, our desire to appear attractive, successful. and even exciting. Take the example of the Marlboro cowboy. For years, this famous image has appeared everywhere, in even the smallest rural villages. Many men see it and think that's the kind of person they would like to be-strong, handsome, and adventurous-a person with an exciting life. Although it's irrational-impossible to explain reasonably-they buy the cigarettes because they want to be like the Marlboro man. It's common knowledge that the original model for these advertisements was a man addicted to smoking who died of lung cancer. However, this brand of cigarette remains very popular. Another example is the recent popularity in the United States of SUVs-sport utility vehicles. These vehicles are more expensive than most cars. They use more gas and create more pollution than most cars. They take up more space than most cars. But TV commercials show them climbing rocky mountain roads and crossing rivers, which seems exciting to many people. Most people who buy an SUV never get out of the city. They spend their morning commute in gridlock, not driving up and down mountains. Although it may seem irrational. advertisers, persuade them that SUV owners are people with an exciting life. D

With so many different (but almost identical) brands of the same product, what causes us to choose one brand instead of another? According to Dr. Alan Hirsch. our sense of smell actually influences our opinion of a product and our decision to buy it. A scientist at the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, Hirsch ran a careful, well-organized study. There were two identical rooms with an identical pair of Nike sneakers in each room. There was only one difference: he sprayed one of the rooms with a scent of flowers. Volunteers entered each room
