35、Mr. Bunter did not say a word. He looked at people sensibly enough but seemed unable to hear any questions put to him. An officer remarked to the captain, “Those brass (黃銅) plates on the steps of the bridge-ladder are very dangerous things. ”“Are they?” replied Captain Johns, “It takes more than a b

36、rass plate to make an able-bodied man fall down in that way. And the weather fine, everything dry, and the ship going on a smooth sea!”O(jiān)n the fourth day, the chief officer looked better. He could hear and understand and could even speak in a weak voice. “Well, Mr. Bunter,” said Captain Johns, “Can y

37、ou tell us what caused the accident!”Bunter moved his head slightly and fixed his cold blue stare on the Captains eyes and said in a whisper, “You were right!”“Bless my soul!” cried out Captain Johns, “Do you mean you had a supernatural experience that night? You saw a ghost on my ship?”Unwillingnes

38、s, disgust would have been seen on poor Bunters face if a good part of it had not been wrapped in bandage (繃帶) . He tried hard and answered, “Yes, I have seen.”“And did it did it knock you down from the ladder?”“Come! Am I the sort of man to be knocked down by a ghost?”Captain Johns pointed a finger

39、 at Bunter. “Youve been terrified,” he said , “Thats whats the matter, even the man at the wheel was frightened, though he couldnt see anything. He felt the supernatural. Youve been punished because you wouldnt believe, Mr. Bunter. ”“Suppose I have,” said Bunter, “You dont know what I saw. And I can

40、t tell you what it was like. Every man has his own ghosts. I stepped back. I dont remember anything else. ”“The man at the wheel said you went backwards as if something had hit you.”“It was a sort of inward blow,” Bunter explained, “Arent you satisfied now that I believe?”71.

45、re Shock, America has become a throwaway society. Cardboard milk containers and packets are only two examples. Such products are made for short-term or one-time use. They are becoming larger in number and more important to modern living. Toffler thinks that mans relationships with things will grow i

46、ncreasingly temporary. .As proof (證明) of this trend, Toffler names products as disposable(一次性的) clothing , paper napkins, and non-returnable bottles. Vegetables are wrapped in plastic bags. They can be dropped into a pan of boiling water and thrown away after the meal. TV dinners are cooked in throw

47、away plates. They are even served in them.All these things are quickly used up. Then they are thrown away without any pity. In Tofflers view, the American home has become little more than a large processing plant.Toffler further believes that his countrymen are developing throwaway values to go with

48、 their throwaway products. He says that easy disposability leads to shorter man-thing relationships. People were once linked with a few objects for a long time. Now they are linked with a lot of objects for a short period.75. Which of the following shows that mans relationship with things will grow

53、Sometimes, you feel as if youre on top of the worldBut occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem (自尊) is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on buildin

54、g self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.Forget about self-esteem, says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist (心理學(xué)家) at the University of Michigan, US. Its not the important thing.

55、Feeling goodCrockers advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Bau

56、meister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.He believes that violent and wicked (邪惡的) people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said: Theres no evidence that kids with high self-esteem

57、do better in school.Problems All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos (自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers (同齡人), said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves,

58、Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.What to doResearchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something, try to learn from the experience. The best therapy (藥

59、方) is to recognize your faults, Vohs says. Its OK to say, Im not so good at that, and then move on.79. The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem _.A. is not important at allB. has taken on a different meaningC. may not be the key to successD. does not help you do better at schoo

60、l80. One of the conclusions of the new research is that _.A. feeling good about oneself doesnt mean you lead a happier lifeB. people with high esteem usually do not seek others helpC. people with high esteem tend to be proudD. people with low esteem are often more popular81. The underlined part “a b
