In a speech that will set China’s direction for the future, he spoke of the need to address the problems of environmental degradation, political corruption and income inequality between the rich cities on the eastern seaboard and villages in the poor western interior. He told Chinese: “Growth is not our only goal. Sustainability and cutting inequality is high on agenda.” But, he admitted that the party had struggled to keep pace with the rapid changes in society. “While recognizing our achievements, we must be well aware that they still fall short of the expectations of the people.” he said, “The government capability of the party falls somewhat short of the need to deal with the new situation and tasks.”

Education should be wild, exciting, intoxicating. These days, more and more tertiary education establishments specialize in courses that took like a short-cut to a sexy job: you can study sport, or journalism, or television, or pop music, even fashion. The error¬—the heresy—is to think that the entire purpose of education is to get you a better job; that the entire function of an individual life is to make as much money as possible. It’s a terrible shame, and I feel horribly sad for the people who must go through it all, carrying the burden of economic expectation rather than the spirit of exploration and adventure. We were all too busy trying to suss out the meaning of life to be sidetracked by such side-issues as careers, until the time came to meet reality head on. The purpose of modern education is to make you a wealthy person.

IntelligenceIntelligence refers to cognitive abilities of an individual to learn from experience, to reason well, and to cope effectively with the demands of daily living. In short, intelligence has to do with how well a person is able to use cognition in coping with the world. The term intelligence was not in widespread use until it was popularized in the late 1800s by the writings of Sir Francis Galton. Galton was a cousin of Charles Darwin, the scientist credited for developing the theory of evolution based on natural selection of inherited characteristics. Galton believed that intellectual ability was inherited, and he tried unsuccessfully to develop an intelligence test to use in his research. Although he was unsuccessful in his own research, Galton gave psychology the concept of intelligence.

Experiment methodThe experiment is a research in which the investigator manipulates a variable carefully controlled conditions and observes whether any changes occur in a second variable as a result. Thus, the purpose of an experiment is to find out how one variable, let’s call it X, affects another variable, which we’ll call Y. In this formulation, we refer to X as the independent variable to Y as the dependent variable. An independent variable is a condition or event that an experimenter varies in order to see its impact on another variable. A good shortcut for sorting out the independent variables in experiments is to fit the variables into the equation “How X affects Y.”

I call the combination of a concept and a sound-image a sign, but in current usage the term generally designates only a sound-image, a word, for example (arbor, etc.) One tends to forget that arbor is called a sign only because it carries the concept “tree,” with the result that the idea of the sensory part implies the idea of the whole.Ambiguity would disappear if the three notions involved here were designated by three names, each suggesting and opposing the others. I propose to retain the word sign to designate the whole and to replace concept and sound-image respectively by signified and signifier; the last two terms have the advantage of indicating the opposition that separates them from each other and from the whole of which they are parts.—Ferdinand de Saussure, Course in General Linguistics

May we really attempt to compare the imaginative writer with the “dreamer in broad daylight,” and his creations with daydreams? … One feature above all cannot fail to strike us about the creations of these story-writers: each of them has a hero who is the center of interest, for whom the writer tries to win our sympathy by every possible means and whom he seems to place under the protection of a special providence. … The feeling of security with which I follow the hero through his perilous adventures is the same as the feeling with which a hero in real life throws himself into the water to save a drowning man or exposes himself to the enemy’s fire in order to storm a battery. It is the true heroic feeling, which one of our best writers has expressed in an inimitable phrase: “Nothing can happen to me!” It seems to me, however, that through this revealing characteristic of invulnerability we can immediately recognize His Majesty the Ego, the hero alike of every daydream and of every story.—Sigmund Freud, Creative Writers and Daydreaming

In Great Britain the system of the coast guard is very different. There are a small number of men, called lifeboatmen, who go out to help ships in trouble. These brave men often risk their lives. But they receive no money of their work. They live in small towns on the coast, and most have other jobs. The special lifeboats that they need are provided by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (R.N.L.I), a private group which depends completely on money from private people. The R.N.L.I does not accept any money from the government. As a result, it cannot always buy the best and most modern lifeboats. For example, about ten years ago, British researchers began to criticize the lifeboats which were in use at that time. According to their studies, the lifeboats never sank, but they turned over in certain sea conditions and stayed upside down in the water. However, there was a new kind of lifeboat that did not turn over. The R.N.L.I began to buy this safer kind of boat, but it could buy one or two every year.Some years ago, on the southwestern coast of England, a lifeboat station that did not have the new type of lifeboat received a radio call from a small ship that was sinking. The call came in the middle of the worst storm in forty years. The sea was very rough, but the lifeboat went out to try to save the men on the SINKING ship. Two hours later, their radio stopped, and nothing more was heard from them. One day later a helicopter found the lifeboat. It was lying upside down in the sea. Probably a large wave hit it and turned it over. There were no survivors.The news of the disaster shocked the people of Great Britain. A number of people began to criticize the lifeboat system. In their opinion, the US system is better.” We cannot send brave men out in boats which aren’t safe,” they said, “They need the best boats which money can buy. The government must control the lifeboat system.” Today, however, the system remains the same.11. What was discussed preceding this passage?12. Which of the following is true of the lifeboat system in Great Britain?13. What happened in the storm some years ago?14. The purpose of the passage is .15. The word “sinking” means .

People have expressed themselves through the movements, steps, and rhythms of dance since the beginning of time. They have prayed and celebrated their victories through dance. People have mourned their dead and healed their sick through dance, the language of the body.Today there are many kinds of dancing. For example, there are folk dancing, ballet dancing, and modern dancing.Modern dance, which began in the early 1900s, is a very expressionistic dance. Modern dancers follow no set pattern. Rather, they create their own movements to match the feelings they are trying to express. But modern dance means more than just self-expression.Modern dancers must first master the science of movement and muscle control. Then the dancers must learn to use these skills in combination with their emotions.Matha Graham is one of the world’s greatest modern dancers. As a young dancer, she studied with some of the founders of the modern dance movement. Influenced by many different kinds of dancing, Martha Graham developed her own personal dance style. She later formed her own dance company and school in New York City. The following are some of her feelings about her art.The modern dancer’s costume is an important part of his or her dance. There is always some reason why a dance costume should be a certain color or an outfit cut in a certain way. The reason comes out of the dance itself. Unlike a ballet costume, a modern dance costume is designed around each particular dance.The dancers’ art lives only while they are dancing. When their dancing days are over, nothing is left of the dancers’ art except the pictures and the memories.Dances come from something deep within a person. That something cannot be expressed with words—it must be told through movement.Because dance expresses emotions, it affects the mind and the body. Dances should not be taken apart and interpreted—dance must be experienced.6. What happens to the dancers’ art when their dancing days are over?7. What is NOT MENTIONED in the passage?8. How does modern dance costume differ from ballet costume?9. People have healed their sick through dance means ______.10. Which of the following is NOT true?

The noble, ancient, and adored art of puppetry may be edging toward an endangered species list of its own. Over the ages, puppets (木偶) and their masters have given pleasure to all classes of societies, among them the young, the old, the naive and the sophisticated, the poor and the rich. Their fascination has been universal and timeless. And, in many cases, puppet shows seem to have preceded performances by people—perhaps because of the superstitious awe with which various peoples responded to idols and statues, particularly if they moved.Puppets have been imbedded in mankind’s memory for so many centuries that even today some of that awe, as well as all of that delight, continues to work magic for those audiences able to find professional, or even amateur, performances. But the chances of this art’s surviving in the face of such popular contemporary diversions as film and television could be doubtful, although it may continue as an adjunct to mass communication, useful in commercials, propaganda, or education. If so, the magical element of puppetry will have been lost, because it is the experience of being in the actual presence of puppets—at once real and unreal—that causes one’s imagination to flower, opening another realm of feeling and seeing.Such reactive emotions have a long history. In primitive times, the shaman or witch doctor divined the power of an animated artifact and pronounced that supernatural forces could direct, cure, and present omens through these sacred objects, for the spirits had entered the objects and had become them. This is as true for Zuni and Hopi serpent puppets as it is for the slow-moving idols of the Egyptian priesthood, whose mechanized statues raised an arm or turned a head.The religious aspect of dolls and puppets has been universal in both the West and the East. Where idols have been banished, puppets have survived in the form of shadow theater, probably the most widely distributed tradition of puppetry. The shadow theater has been popular for centuries from North China throughout Southeast Asia, most of India, the Middle East, and Northern Africa. The extent and variety of this form of theater makes the rest of the world’s puppetry seem a bit meager by comparison.But any form of traditional theater in Asia has a significantly different meaning from that in the West. Walter A. Fairservis, Jr., research associate at the American Museum of Natural and professor of anthropology at Vassar, has written that Asian drama “is not to be categorized as mere entertainment, for its basic purpose is to provide cultural security and personal identity for all citizens of the culture involved. Much of Asian drama recounts the myths, legends and stories which are the familiar descriptions of why things are what they are and why people and gods do what they do.”Whether performed by people or puppets, Oriental theater is ritualistic; the audiences want their beliefs and hopes reinforced. They demand to see and hear the same stories retold, but the range of the stories is vast—often the plots and characters are taken from such epics as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. These Sanskrit texts with their hundreds of characters, their extraordinary adventures, battles, love affairs, and political struggles, in which both gods and human beings are similarly engaged, offer a rich and endless imagery to the theater of the puppet.1. According to the author, the influence of film and television .2. Of the following, which factor would have been least influential in the development of puppet theater?3. Zuni serpent puppets are similar in purpose to .4. Which statement about puppetry is NOT true?5. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?
