22、 particularly CD. valuesOne consequence of globalization is the increasing crash of old and new concepts. New ideas are always welcome and can often improve our lives but we must ensure they fit well into our 41 culture.One current debate that highlights this crash between old and new ideas is the i

23、ssue of organ donations 42 untreatable car crashes.Currently in China it is assumed that 43 of untreatable car crashes would be unwilling to donate their organs to others. This has helped lead to a situation where over 1.5 million people need a transfer but only about 10,000 receive a new organ each

24、 year. In order to increase the number of organ donors, a new policy will require drivers to state whether they are willing to become organ donors or not.The 44 of asking drivers to be organ donors has shown to be successful. In America, the national average of organ donors is 38% but in Illinois wh

25、ere drivers are asked about organ donation the rate is 60%. Other western nations have also seen huge rises in the number of organ donors since asking drivers.However in China organ donation is a(n) 45 concept to many and crashes with some traditional ideas. Some have argued that the policy puts an

26、evil eye on driving. Others have criticized the project because it predicts death. The strongest criticism has come from those who highlighted that it conflicts with traditional Chinese 46 which state how important it is for the body to be 47 unbroken. No one can deny the greater need for organ dona

27、tion across the world and especially in China. However, a project that is forced on people, no matter how positive the aims are, will do more damage than good. Policy makers must go carefully and 48 in this area and ensure a system that is see-through and 49 by all. III. Reading Comprehension Sectio

Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So

38、 I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy! I pointed at it and aske

39、d an assistant, “Can I have one of those? He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first? he said. It didnt quite sound like a question. “Do I need to? I replied, “There is nothing wrong with it? This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no. But you should try it, he

40、said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others. I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choo

41、se from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly R into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out o

42、f the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the

43、model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory car

44、d as well.Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new?
