29、question, perhaps focused on why you have to work.“Selfinterest”in its broadest sense,including the interests of family and friends,is a basic motivation for work in all societies.But selfinterest can involve more than providing for subsistence or accumulating wealth.For instance,among the Maori,a P

30、olynesian people of the South Pacific,a desire for approval,a sense of duty,a wish to conform to custom and tradition, a feeling of emulation(竞争,and a pleasure in craftsmanship are additional reasons for working.Even within the United States,we cannot understand work as simply a response to economic

The fact that what they receive pay for their work indicates that what they do is needed by other peo

33、little is to be little.Work is commonly seen as the measure of an individual.Sociologist Melvin L.

37、rkqd3YfhxCzoPassage 2Perhaps most puzzling than purring is the cats ability to survive falls. A research shed light on this ability in 1987. The cats habit of falling out of open windows provided the researchers with an opportunity to study 115 cats that had fallen from highrise apartments in New Yo

38、rk City.The average fall was 5.5 stories.Of the 115 cats studied,90 percent survived, including one cat that fell 32 stories onto a sidewalk and suffered only mild chest injury and a chipped tooth.Interestingly,cats that fell from 9 or more stories suffered fewer injuries than those falling from low

46、 may add to the cultural heritage.Contemporary American society places a good deal of emphasis on the development of new knowledge,especially in the physical and biological sciences,medicine,and engineering.In recent decades,the nations leading universities have increasingly become research centres.An emphasis on research has led universities to judge professors no
