As executives(高级管理人员) with banks, consulting firms, established law firms, and major corporations, many are now 1on their way to impressive careers. By societys 2, they seem to have it made.On the surface, these people seem to be very lucky in life. As they left student life behind, many had a 3drink at their cheap but friendly local bar, shook hands with longtime roommates, and 4out of small apartments into high buildings.

However, instead of devoting themselves to their work, they find themselves working to support the 10to which they have so quickly become 11.People often speak of trying a more satisfying path, and 12in the end the idea of leaving their jobs to work for something they 13or finding a position that would give them more time with their families almost always leads them to the same conclusion:it s 14.

Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from todays popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.24.According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?A. It introduces different cultural values.B. It explains the history of artistic works.C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.D.

Are Artistic Values Universal?B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?C. Is Human Nature Uniform?D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?CSuppose you become a leader in an organization. It s very likely that youll want to have volunteers to help with the organizations activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Lets begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift peoples wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because its important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because Im required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity. Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.28.People volunteer mainly out of _ .A. academic requirements B. social expectationsC. financial rewards D. internal needs29.What can we learn from the Florida study?A. Follow-up studies should last for one year. B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C. Strategy training is a must in research. D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.30.What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?A. Individual differences in role identity. B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C. Role identity as a volunteer. D. Practical advice from researchers.31.What is the best title of the passage?A. How to Get People to Volunteer B. How to Study Volunteer BehaviorsC. How to Keep Volunteers Interest D. How to Organize Volunteer ActivitiesD In 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust. But why, they pleaded. “Because I dont have time to take care of a dog.” But well do it. “Really? Youre going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes, and yes. “I dont believe you.” We will. We promise. They didnt. From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day) , neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .” Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . Shed look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth appendage(附肢), snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television. Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , Id balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair, ” I d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home. Then one day January 1, 2007 , to be exact my husband s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia ( 白血病) .With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moments notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained. Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with. As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the days medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the days upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise. When serious illness visits your household, its not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently. Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joes blood counts or bone marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis, she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow.Im grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, Ive come to enjoy
