It can reveal（揭示

16、）laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptationto drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal, The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement,

17、appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses

18、on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others arent?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of subjects. Because of this, you might expect the book to cover a variety of fact

19、s. But Brooks has structured his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the readers attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live th

20、rough childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brookss story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is most

21、ly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly

22、involve Brookss attempt to translate his tale into science. （1）The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to_A.To show the value of Brookss new book.B.Toshow where science can be applied.C.Toremind the reader of the importance of science.D.Toexplain why many writers

24、pportive. Fromthe very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they know all the words they are reading This means that w

25、hen they dont know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone After having taught fifthgrade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurouslyOneday soon after school

26、had started, I said to them, Now Im going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the

27、 books or not If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, thats enough for me Also Im not going to ask you what words meanThechildren sat stunned and silent Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time

I said just as seriously, I mean every word of itDuring the spring she really astonished me One day, she was reading at her desk From a glimpse of

29、the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was I said to myself, It cant be, and went to take a closer look Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick, in the edition with woodcuts I said, Dont you find parts of it rather heavy going? She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go

30、 on to the next good partThisis exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is an exciting, joyous adventure Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else How different is our meanspirited, picky insistence that
