Unit 1 研究表明：在两性及众多文化中，长相好的人，特别是从青春期开始，往往被评价为具有出色的性格特质的人。事情为何如此？有些人觉得， 由于遇见外表迷人者和品德优良者都令人愉快，我们会不假思索地把这二者混为一谈。但 是 ， 这一 说 法 似 乎并 不 客 观 。 西安 大 略 大 学(University of Western Ontario) 的桑波保诺宁 (Sampo Paunonen) 博士的研究发现，被形容为较诚实的人也会被认为更讨人喜欢，而越讨人喜欢的人，外貌也就更具吸引力。Research has shown that in both sexes and across numerous cultures, especially from adolescence, good-looking people are often evaluated to be ones with exceptional personality traits. Why should this be so? Some people have perceived that since it is pleasurable to meet someone with attractive physical appearance and someone with good moral character, we automatically mix them up. But this statement does not seem to be objective. The studies by Dr. Sampo Paunonen of the University of Western Ontario reveal that people who were described as being more honest were rated as more likable, and the more likable, the more physically attractive. Unit 2 1960 年简古多尔开始了她在坦桑尼亚的贡贝溪国家公园对黑猩猩社群的研究。由于没有专业的训练来指导其研究，古多尔观察到了可能会被严格的科学教条(doctrine)所忽视的东西。她没有给进入观察的黑猩猩编号，而是给他们取名，如菲菲和灰胡子大卫，并发现他们具有独特的个性。古多尔在贡贝溪的研究在科学界最为人称道的是，她的发现打破了当时人们长期存在的两个信念：只有人类才会制造和使用工具，以及黑猩猩是素食者。Jane Goodall began studying the chimpanzee community in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania, in 1960. Without professional training to direct her research, Goodall observed things that strict scientific doctrines may have overlooked. Instead of numbering the chimpanzees she observed, she gave them names such as Fifi and David Greybeard, and found they had unique and individual personalities. Goodall s research at Gombe Stream is best known to the scientific community for challenging two long-standing beliefs of the day: that only humans could make and use tools, and that chimpanzees were vegetarians.

Unit 4 印刷术是中国古代四大发明之一， 始于隋朝的雕版印刷。 经宋仁宗（Emperor Renzong in Song Dynasty ）时的毕昇发展、完善，产生了活字印刷，并由蒙古人传至了欧洲，所以后人称毕昇为印刷术的始祖。中国的印刷术是人类近代文明的先导， 为知识的广泛传播、交流创造了条件。印刷术先后传到朝鲜、日本、中亚、西亚和欧洲。1450 年前后，德国的古腾堡（Gutenberg）受中国活字印刷的影响，用合金制成了拼音文字的活字，用来印刷书籍。古腾堡使用活字印刷，比毕昇使用活字印刷已经晚了四百多年。As one of the four great inventions of ancient China, typography which began from the woodblock printing in Sui Dynasty evolved into a movable-type one after Bi Sheng s development and improvement in the reign of Emperor Renzong in Song Dynasty. After that, it was introduced into Europe by the Mongolians, so Bi Sheng was regarded as the pioneer of typography. 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 2 页，共 3 页 - - - - - - - - - Chinese typography, which created possibility for the wide dissemination and exchange of knowledge, is the forerunner of modern human civilization.

Not only are there jobs in the field, but involvement in the industry provides plenty of opportunities for students in this field to be creative. According to the estimate of the National Energy Administration in July, the new energy sector is set to create 150 million jobs by 2020.
