Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people think 31 matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas
16、about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children, 32 are smart and strong-willed, are very likely 33 (succeed). The reason 34 this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention. An only child will succeed for 35 same reason. What
17、 happens to the 36 children in the family?Middle family? Middle children dont get so much attention, so they dont feel that important.

20、ew products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them.Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes
21、 there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimees produced information which governments could not ignore.At such times,there were inquiries into the causes of t
22、he disasters or the problems.New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however,the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill. Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for ex
23、ample, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then repo
24、rts any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers.Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results.

A. testing new products B. controlling the sale of products C. designing new products D. inspecting work places B There are many thoughts on the origins of civiliz
30、ation. One of the major factors involved was the increase in population. The development of techniques, primarily irrigation and flood control, which permitted agriculture in special areas such as the flood plain of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, made possible the support of large population. Once
31、 populations reach a certain number, the older pattern of social organization breaks down and new ones develop. Specifically the older system, whereby each individual participated in food production and maintained a similar standard of living and whereby kinship(家属关系 ) served as the basic method of
32、social organization, was replaced by the occupational division of labor, political and religious hierarchies(等级制度 ), public works such as road and public building construction, class systems, codes of law, markets, new forms of warfare, and urban centres. Allied with these important sociological tra
33、its are material traits, such as monumental architecture and the development of science and, in many cases, metallurgy(冶金学 ) and writing systems. The earliest civilization developed in the Middle East. This was the Bronze Age of the Old World, during which people first developed the art of metallurg
34、y, civilization also arose in other parts of the Old World, first in Eygpt, China, and India, and later in Europe and Africa. At this time, civilization also developed independently in the New World, in the Mexican area and in Peru and its adjacent(邻近的 ) areas. In the Old World the Bronze Age was fo
35、llowed by the Iron Age, which saw the rise and fall of great empires and the shift of power from the Middle East to Greece and Rome and then to Western Europe. In the 1700s the Industrial Age began, leading directly to the modern civilization of today. 46. The author of this passage _. A. gives a co

40、US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in t
41、he shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system,
42、which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now. Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of rac
43、e. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and theyre still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“Its a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID
44、card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students suggestions that they be allowed to pay after theyve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-s
45、aving sense. Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been instal
46、led in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower. 51. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Studen
47、ts pay for the amount of time they want in the shower. B. The clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the bather paused for soap. C. If money runs out, there will be no water. D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it. 52. The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph3) most probably means_. A. perfection B. advantage C. pity D. fault 53. Since the new system has performed, _ of water can be saved. A. a quarter B. one third C. one half D. two thirds 54. It can be inferred from the passage that_. A. the new o
