17、about eyesight that are not proven facts. For example, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure（结构） of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show t
18、hat for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of sight if they have glasses unsuitable for their eyes.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in weak light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light m
19、akes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not damage eyesight in the long term.Another myth about eyes is that they c
20、an be replaced, or transplanted from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibers（神经纤维）that connect the eyeball to the brain; as of yet, it is impossible to connect them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and
21、 learning more about the eyes, someday a full transplant may be possible!56.

23、t wear glasses at young ageBWe still dont understand the influence of the minds power over the body, nor do we understand why there should be such power. All we can say for certain is that the mind does have power over the body in very many different ways.If a man is told that he is at the North Pol
24、e and he believes what he is told, hell show physical signs which suggest that his body is reacting as though he were at the North Pole. Hell go pale and shiver. When the film Lawrence of Arabia was shown, cinema managers around the world reported that the sales of ice cream rocketed. The endless de
25、sert scenes had made the moviegoers feel uncomfortably hot.Hypnotists use the power of the mind over the body in order to use their influence. The hypnotist must only convince the patient that something is true, and the patient will act accordingly. If he convinces the patient that his arms are as h
26、eavy as lead, then the patient will be unable to lift his arms. If he convinces the patient that a piece of ice is a hot iron and he then touches the patients skin with the ice, a blister（水泡）will develop. The body will react to the suggestion and not to the reality, and signs of a real burn will app
27、ear.59. From the passage, we can imagine that people watching a film about the North Pole would probably want _.A. an ice cream B. a cold showerC. a hot drink D. a hot iron60.

Research on Mind D. The Power of the MindCScience is a major topic in our culture. Since it touches almost e
29、very field of our life, educated people need at least some knowledge with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the scientific subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as spec
30、ific scientific ideas is easier to obtain if one knows something about the things that excite and discourage the scientist.This book is written for the person whose knowledge with science is not complete; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty（发霉的）storehouse of dried facts; fo
31、r the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of tricks; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. The book can be used to add to a course in any science, to come with any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or simpl
32、y to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader view on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an idea and understanding of the relationship between science and our cu
33、lture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. Besides, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies（哲学）that are deep in our culture.We have tried to present in this book a correct and up-to-date picture of
34、 the scientific world and the people who populate it. That population has in recent years come to include more and more women. This increasing role of women is not just the only event but, rather, part of the trend obvious in all parts of society, as more women enter traditionally male-controlled fi
35、elds and make influential contributions.We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our method is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldnt take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rath
36、er than as a cruel and unpleasant way to earn a living.63. According to the passage, scientific subculture means _.A. scientific society B. technical groupsC. complex situation D. knowledge system64.

37、ence affects almost every field of our lifeC. it is easier to understand general characteristics of scienceD. it is not easy to understand the things that excite and discourage scientists65. The book mentioned in this passage is written for readers who _.A. are scientists making influential contribu
38、tionsB. want to have a little understanding of scienceC. want to break the male-controlled worldD. have a misunderstanding about science66. This passage most probably is _.A. the review of a book B. the concluding part of a bookC. the information added to a book D. the introduction of a book67. Acco
39、rding to the passage, we can infer that the book probably is _.A. interesting B. serious C. realistic D. humorousDA German company was concerned about talks in Moscow trying to sell some 100 million dollars worth of equipment to a Russian State company. Talks went smoothly but differences remained.
40、So Martin Bayer himself, the CEO of the German Company, decided to come to Moscow to head the talks. Besides caring about his business, the CEO wanted to go to Russia to hunt bears.Martin Bayer was one of the greatest hunters of our time (and the Russians knew about it). He went to the Sahara more t
41、han hundred times and hunted lions, crocodiles; he hunted polar bears in the North Pole and tigers in the rain forests of India. But he had never hunted Russian bears.So the Russians decided to organize a bear hunt for Mr. Bayer to sweeten the talks. This wasnt a simple task. Some people in the west
42、 still believe that bears may be found and seen everywhere in Russian cities just like squirrels may be seen in our back yards. This is not true. The closest place one may find bears in the wild is maybe 2,500 miles away from Moscow. However, a solution was quickly found. The Russian businessmen wen
43、t to Moscow Circus（马戏团） and for $2,000 bought a very old bear. This bear used to amuse and amaze audiences in many countries for 30 years, but got and looked too old, and was retired.“Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening,” they told to Mr. Bayer. “If compared to the Russ
44、ian bears, your African lions are nothing more than harmless cats.” The bear was brought to a forest 50 miles from Moscow and was left there. Mr. Bayer was told that bears were plentiful in that forest and that many cattle and even people had been eaten in the surrounding villages.Meanwhile, an 18-y
45、ear old female drove through the forest on a motorcycle and suddenly saw a bear (no bears had been seen in those places for 200 years). She was frightened, fell, left her helmet and her motorcycle and ran away.Mr. Bayer was excited and ready to hunt. This could become the most successful part of his
46、 extraordinary hunting experience. The next moment Mr. Bayer saw a bear in a helmet driving on a motorcycle through the forest in front of him. The bear had a happy expression on his face, as he was doing something he had been doing in the circus for 30 years: circling on a motorcycle!Mr. Bayer live
47、s in a private mental institution near Hamburg happily ever after. The equipment was never sold to Russia. It was sold to Iraq instead.68. Why did the Russians invite Mr. Bayer to hunt bears?A. Russian bears are famous for their cruelty.B. They managed to find a bear for hunting.C. They expected the trade to be successful.D. There was a bear in Moscow Circus.69. Why did the Russians say “Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening”?A. To tell Mr. Bayer that many people had been killed by bears.B. To make Mr. Bayer feel the hunting really challenging.C. To warn
