13、srael also involves a decentralized (分散的) nursing administration; every floor, every unit is a self-contained organization.

20、me time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective reward, at least in the early stages, had to be directly relate

21、d to such basic physiological (生理的) “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink of some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward excep

22、t the successful outcome.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would

23、still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens responses in situations where on milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on”. A displa

24、y of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many three turns to one side.Papouseks light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation th

25、at sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble” when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the

26、skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.26.According to the author, babies learn to do things which _.A) are directly related to pleasureB) will meet their physical needsC) will bring them a feeling of successD) will sat

27、isfy their curiosity（C）27.Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby _.A) would make learned responses when it saw the milkB) would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drinkC) would continue the simple movements without being given milkD) would turn its head to right or left when it h

28、ad enough to drink（C）28.In Papouseks experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _.A) have the lights turned onB) be rewarded with milkC) please their parentsD) be praised（A）29.The babies would “smile and bubble” at the lights because _.A) the lights were directly related to som

29、e basic “drives”B) the sight of the lights was interestingC) they need not turn back to watch the lightsD) they succeeded in “switching on” the lights（D）30.According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of _.A) a basic human desire to understand and control the

30、 worldB) the satisfaction of certain physiological needsC) their strong desire to solve complexD) a fundamental human urge to display their learned skills（A）Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way

31、 does not live up to the manufacturers claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保單), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfa

32、ction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or sh

33、e has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demo

34、nstrate what is wrong with the item in questions. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is

35、unclear” is better than “This stereo (立體聲音響) does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the cons

36、umer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.31.When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to _.A) complain personall

37、y to the managerB) threaten to take the matter to courtC) write a firm letter of complaint to the store or purchaseD) show some written proof of the purchase to the store（D）32.If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, its better to complain to _.A) a shop assistantB) the store managerC)

40、 a faulty itemD) how to deal with complaints from customers（B）Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If women are mercilessly exploited (剝削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seem in public in clothes that are

41、 out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of c

42、lothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of

43、their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and du

44、rability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a

45、 winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and ins

46、tability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.36.Designers and big stores always make money _.A) by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothi

47、ng industryB) because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC) by constantly changing the fashions in womens clothingD) because they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing（C）37.To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _.A) a waste of moneyB)
