If they have to do the same regular work. They'll try to do in different ways. Repetition and monotony( 单词) are what they can't stand. In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hats— hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats. One day there came a young tourist who entered a millinery(女士帽子)shop and found a very nice hat costing five dollars. He said to the shop - keeper. "If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, I'd like to buy two hundred hats of this style. " "No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style. "The tourist could not understand. "How's that？" "Well, "said the shop - keeper. "If you buy only one hat of this style. I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will bore me almost to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So, you at least pay me double price. "

Passage2

________What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however. goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.

________The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same
conditions at other times
B. does not allow any changes even under different conditions
C. can be used for many purposes

Passage3

________For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist(剧作家). Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare.
