Almost every new innovation goes through three phases.
When initially introducing into the market, the process               1._______________          
of adoption is slow. The early models are expensive and
hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe. The economic
impact is relatively great.                                                       2.  _______________    
      The second phase is the explosive one, where the innovation
was rapidly adopted by a large number of people. It gets          3.  _______________        
cheaper and easier to use and becomes something familiar.
And then in the third stage, diffusion of the innovation
slows down again, as if it permeates out across the economy.    4.  _______________ 
      During the explosive phase, whole new industries spring
up to produce the new product or innovation, and to service
it. For example, during the 1920s, there was dramatic               5.  _______________         
acceleration in auto production, from 1.9 million in 1920
to 4.5 million in 1929. This boom was accompanied with all      6._______________            
sorts of other essential activities necessary for an
auto-based nation: Roads had to been built for the cars to         7.  _______________          
run on; refineries and oil wells, to provide the gasoline;
and garages, to repair it.                                                       8. _______________   
      Historically, the same pattern is repeated again and again
with innovations. The construction of the electrical system
requested an enormous early investment in generation and       9. _______________           
distribution capacity. The introduction of the radio was
followed by a buying spree (无节制旳狂热行为) by Americans
what quickly brought radios into almost half of all households  10. _______________           
by 1930, up from nearly none in 1924.

五

After months of speculation about what Amazon would
do with its mysterious search-engine company, A9, Web
surfers finally got their first taste on Apr. 14.
Yet despite of some intriguing new features not yet found            1._______________
on leading sites such as Google and Yahoo! , the site
( .a9 ) -- still in test mode -- rises as many questions       2_______________
as it answers.
The biggest question remains is whether Amazon,                     3._______________
through A9, would clash into Google more directly.                  4._______________
Google itself is testing a search engine for products
called Froogle that's starting to appeal Web shoppers.               5._______________
At the same time, Amazon clearly isn't looking to limit A9's horizons. 
How directly A9 eventually goes up against the reigned                6. _______________
search champion, it faced lots of challenges. For one,                 7._______________
it may run into some of the same privacy issues that
recently have plagued Google. A9's privacy policy points
out that information provided through entering search term             8._______________
or by signing into one's Amazon account could supply the company
with information that could personally identify the searcher.
Those may be somewhat less intrusive（打扰旳，冒犯旳） than        9._______________
Google's upcoming Gmail free e-mail offering, which could search
the contents of messages to pitch personalized ads. But comments       
posted on some sites already indicate some people are
uncomfortable with Google's potential threats to privacy.                10._______________

六
The European Union had approved a number of genetically            
modified crops until late 1998. But growing public concern
over its supposed environmental and health risks led several                1. _______________
EU countries to demand a moratorium (临时严禁) on imports
of any new GM produce. By late 1999 there were enough such
country to block any new approvals of GM produce.                        2. _______________
　　Last year, America filed a complaint at the WTO about the
moratorium, arguing that it was an illegal trade barrier
because there is no scientific base for it.                               3._______________
　　As more studies have been completed on the effects
of GM crops, the greens’ case for them has weakened.      4._______________
Much evidence has emerged of health risks from eating         5. _______________
them. And, overall, the studies have shown that the
environmental effects on modified crops are not always        6._______________
as serious as the greens claim. Nevertheless, environmentalists
continue to find fault of such studies and argue that               7._______________
they are inconclusive.
　　While Americans seem happy enough to consume food made
from GM crops, opinion polls continue to show that European
consumers dislike the idea. Europeans seem be taking the attitude        8. _______________
which , since there remains the slightest possibility of adverse          9. _______________
consequences and since it is clear how they, as consumers, benefit     10. _____________
from GM crops, they would rather not run the risk. 
七
Many Americans mindlessly oppose hunting. They do so even in
cases where animal populations are dangerous high. In           1._______________
some areas of Alaska, wolves have become so rare that they      2________________
are running out of hunting ground and prey heavily on
moose, deer, and occasionally dogs. In past, game               3_______________
managers curbed wolf populations for trapping and aerial        4_______________
hunting without wiping away the species. Still, whenever        5______________ 
they propose do this nowadays, they receive tens                6_______________
of thousands letters of protest. Growing deer populations in    7________________
parts of California threat to starve themselves out. Seaotter   8_______________
colonies, booming in the Pacific coast, are fast running        9________________
out of food, too, as good as putting commercial fisher-         10____________
men out of business.
八
Many describe Freud as the most influential psychologist
of all time. Yet not everyone recognize the profound effect of            1._______________
psychoanalytic theory in the way most of us look at human               2._______________
behavior, regardless of any formal exposure to Freud’s works.
For example, most adults in Western society accept the idea that
behavior can be influenced by an unconscious part of the mind.
We say things like “I must have done that consciously” or “Even   3._____________
though I didn’t realize it consciously, maybe unconsciously
I did.” Although Freud was not the first to talk about the
unconscious, no one ago, or probably since, has placed                    4._______________
so many emphasis upon unconscious processes in explaining            5._______________
human behavior.
　　Do you believe that dreams hold important psychological
information, revealing inner fears and desires? If so, you are
backing on an idea that Freud popularized.                                6._______________
As people had been interpreting dreams for thousands of                   7.____________
years, Freud was the first to incorporate dream interpretation 
into a larger psychological theory. When we talk about our dreams      
and try to figure it out, we are informally following a therapeutic       8.____________
procedure outlining by Freud at the turn  of the century.                 9._____________
　　Numerous examples of Freudian thought can be found in our
daily language, as well as in    modern literature and in motion
pictures. Thus, an understanding of Freudian psychology
is part of a good liberal arts education; it can aid the observant
student to appreciating subtle and not-so-subtle references               10.____________

Learning does not happen passively.  It is an activity which a person does. 
It is a task which can be attempted in various of ways, some of which are         1._____
more appropriate than others.  When the material to be learned is                 2._____
a brief and simple kind which is familiar with the person and of intense          3._____
interest to him, effective learning usually proceeds automatically. 
In the first place, the person at once relates the material to other
material which has already securely learned.  Subsequently, the relevance          4._____
of the newly learned material to his interests assures its being                   5.______
recalled on many occasions;  and one repetition minimizes                          6.______
 the likelihood of remembering.  Furthermore, the subsequent use                   7.______
of the new material is likely to take place in a variety of contexts
and, so, the material becomes related to a narrower range of other material.        8.___
Because of all this, the material is rapidly learned, long retained,
and recalled with increasingly readiness in a variety of                            9._____
contexts.  Without really trying, the person had fulfilled a                       10._____
few important conditions of effective learning.
